A quest I started 3 years ago thanks to dpadd.com. Although it didn't start off with this in mind I ended up spending more time on writing at least a few sentences on each game I finished. These are more like my thoughts on the game instead of a traditional review. Since one paragraph isn't quite enough to sell anyone on a game. I've posted some of these on Giant Bomb as Mini Reviews.
This now has every mini review I posted on dpadd. As you might be able to tell I play a lot of games. Plus I'm willing to play just about anything. I'm still going to keep posting reviews but I've switched over to doing longer reviews which means I will most likely take longer to post them compared to these short ones I've been doing every time I see the credits in a game.
After all this is also a way for me to keep tabs on every game I've beaten. Plus it's great to go back and see what I thought about the game when it is time for Game of the year discussions.

Was fun in the beginning when the levels were more open and allowed cutting/rocketing just about everything. Near the end it went for a more puzzle like approach which was still good but not as fun as just going nuts the first few levels. Still this game is worth it just to slice and dice a bunch of things for a few hours. 4.0/5.0 Stars
A ok third person adventure/puzzle game. Like I said before the find the item you need and use it this way pretty much got annoying the more I had to do it. The story was interesting yet kinda underwhelming by the end. I could see a better game come out of this if they decide to make another one but until then I give this a 2.0/5.0 Stars.
I play RTS games for the single player and that is what this review is of. The varied missions throughout the campaign were a highlight even if it would have been nice to build a base to blow up another one at some point. Of course the space truckers were certainly a highlight throughout it but the story really seemed to build up to the expansion pack although ending it here can work since I'm not sure if I'll ever get to the next one. 3.0/5.0 Stars.
Without the nostalgia of all the older portable Castlevania's getting in the way this was a surprisingly fun game. A simple and easy to master combat lead me to enjoy my 9 hour playthrough of this game. The story while being pretty obvious was about on par with any of CV game. Which is why I give this a 3.0/5.0 Stars.
Gotta give props to Next Level games for making a Nintendo game that feels like one. Although it does look like they don't have to many types of ghosts they manage to mix it up a bit more by using the environment against you. The charm of the game keeps going till the end and the bosses you face are mostly fun. The only real downfall is that vacuuming the ghosts up might get a bit boring by the end once you learned all the tricks even though I still found it to be enjoyable. Even the mutiplayer can be fun with 4 Luigi's running around a haunted tower. In the end I give this a 4.0/5.0 Stars.
Other than making the city open world and the combat being a bit better it doesn't really do much else to mix it up a bit. The city really just gives them a bigger playground to hide even more random collectibles all over which is fine if you really like collecting a ton of items. Still the simplified Batman:AC combat is interesting and the silly story was a highlight. I give this a 2.0/5.0 Stars.
t has quite a few good points like the fairly obvious puzzles that don't take a wizard to figure them out. The combat although rather Resident Evilish was still solid although running was the better option 99% of the time. If you have trouble with early polygonal graphics it's best to stay away since this won't win any it looks awesome awards. The story was also rather simple since it was the standard horror trope. Still I give this a 3.0/5.0 Stars.
Burning through the first few AITD games. The second one refined the gameplay so it would have more of a action/ you don't have to look at a menu to do something feel to it so that was a improvement but not enough to bump it up a star. Everything else was about on par with the original so I still give this a 3.0/5.0 Stars.
It's to bad the game that really shows how good a Wii remote+ works had to be one of the final ones. The gameplay has to be a highlight since this is just as good or better than some of the older Zelda titles. The more you get into the game the more you have to actually have to judge the swing of the sword or it will punish any mistakes. The story is standard for a Zelda game but it is told well. Except for the dungeons the game really only has 4 different environments so although they are detailed that isn't much variety. They do mix it up when you come back so that helps some. That is why I give this a 4.0/5.0 Stars.
Can't say this really scared me in any way other than a few jump scare moments. But it did have me on edge for most of the game till near the end. Which I think is more effective than any omg moments although having the feeling of being almost afraid certainly made the unexpected moments a bit better. All you really do in this game is run around the wilderness trying to figure out why Kate went missing. While doing this Slenderman might pop up to ruin your day. Fairly simple but mostly effective which is why I give this a 3.0/5.0 Stars.
