SpongeBob games are usually just popcorn games for me, but Titans of the Tide actually has some pretty creative platforming - definitely the best since BFBB! www.thegamer.com/spongebob-sq...
SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans Of The Tide Review - Bob’s Best Since Battle For Bikini Bottom
Titans of the Tide is the best SpongeBob game in a long time, even if it’s a little lacking in laughs and length.

I miss editing George reviews because he goes all-in on games I'd never give a second look to, like this

AC Brotherhood is such a strange game. Very much the ambling middle part of the trilogy with bizarre pacing, and the art style is slightly more cartoony which is... a choice... but it also introduces a lot of cool things like the Borgia Towers and an emphasis on a single city.

It's funny how the first 2 Assassin's Creed and Kingdom Hearts games have a lot in similar
Both AC1 and KH1 have very good first instalments that have the simplest, arguably best, stories and are amogn the shortest in their series. They're also incredibly unpolished compared to what came later.

I don't know how I feel about the changes Wizards Of The Coast just made for Magic: The Gathering's Commander format

I know it did it in a comic later on, but future Assassin's Creed games really glossed over the whole "working time machine banned by Abstergo" thing hinted at the very end of the first game, huh.

Assassin's Creed is the game single most desperately in need of a remake. I've been replaying it and it's still great, but roughhhhh

Not to diminish the achievement but what about that trophy says Magic: The Gathering and not just something you could buy from Forbidden Planet

I have a lot of weird anxiety about Halo because the last time I properly played it, I got sepsis the next day. Zero relation, I know, but the two are now irrationally linked in my brain.
Anyway it being on Playstation is cool.
