Random Game Challenge!!!

I'm back again for another try.

Figures I'd get something like this lol. With how many there are it's pretty likely right?
Interesting though that this is from when SEGA still owned Visual Concepts (the developers of all the 2k sports games to current) before selling them to Take Two Interactive. Wow, I wonder if they regret that considering how much cash these must be raking in nowadays.
Outside of 99% 2k sports games Visual Concepts also developed the esteemed CLAYFIGHTER, LESTER THE UNLIKELY, and WEAPONLORD! Uh yeah... maybe better they stick to the balls huh?
I'll be back after a game. It's got good review scores so I'm optimistic. ::dkapproves

I can see why this is praised. If I was a Football fan I'd probably be very excited at the presentation of this game. It has live action ESPN SportsCenter footage, great looking models and fields, as well as realistic impacts to the tackling interactions. It looks really smooth when you slip out of a grab around your legs, or when your linemen jump over opponents sprawled on the ground. The animations are great.
I haven't played enough to know if this is really better or worse in other fields like UX, and since I only played a Quick Match I can't comment on how the Season Mode and such are but I bet they're good too.
 
Okay its that time again. And, the RNG gods gave me:

Lego Racers 2

I had no idea there was a sequel to Lego Racers. I had played the first one on PC. I had no expectations of the GBA version being the definitive port of it but I went in fairly optimistic.

Rocker Racer, after being defeated in the first game, found a new place to reclaim glory, the planet Xalax.

And apparently its your job to earn your way there to beat him again. You do this by:
Racing-

Upgrading your vehicle-

and winning-

So you can collect gold bricks.

There isn't really anything else to it. I have a feeling that this port is very stripped back compared to the PC/PS2 versions. No car customization, just the upgrades. Building your own car was my favorite part in the first one. Controls are pretty sensitive and acceleration is hard to make sense of and toward the end of my time winning or loosing almost felt more like luck than skill.

If you are looking at playing this game maybe try the PS2 version to get the whole experience.

This sounded like fun so I took a chance on the Random Button and it blessed me with Tomb Raider Underworld for the DS
The release notes from the included nfo don't fill me with confidence, however

Todays random game was Doshin The Giant on the Gamecube

This was a really interesting game where you play a giant helping develop civilizations during 30 minute long days. Was nice to just relax and vibe with the music and slow paced game play. Highly recommend!
