Ducktales actually has a good team behind it and is supposed to be good, though?

Hmm, Metacritic isn't listing many of the bigger outlets. This is the first review I saw. Metacritic's reviews all are higher than this, though.

I've never played Duck Tales in my life. But at the end of the day....fuck Polygon. They suck.


There are some REALLY positive reviews for DT, with some that don't like it.

Everyone seems to hate FB so far.

Probably the best summation:

5/10 from Eurogamer:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013- ... ack-review

That's something you could never say about the original Flashback, for all its faults. It might have been obtuse, fussy and frustrating, but it had a clarity of purpose and vision that this anniversary edition struggles to match. Time may not have been particularly kind to Flashback, but 20 years on, it hasn't been forgotten. It's unlikely we'll be able to say the same for this remake in 20 days.

I wonder how the youth like it. It may not appeal to retro gaming crowd, but maybe it wasn't really meant to.
Did anyone like New Super Mario Bros. better?

I'd rather see a remake of Fade to Black instead. It could definitely benefit from a more modern 3D engine.

It wouldn't have been such a terrible game if it let you use a different controller than the Wiimote. Having to shake the controller just to spinjump felt like a jarring change from Super Mario World on the SNES, so imprecise.

Then may I ask, did anyone like New Super Mario Bros. better than Rayman Legends?
