REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

DAILY MANIFESTO

Ninja Turtles on NES...

Posted on Tuesday, October 18 @ 09:51:05 Eastern by Anthony Severino

I grew up as an '80s kid. I played with Transformers, He-Man action figures, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I watched their shows. I carried my food in their lunchboxes. For Halloween, I wore their costumes. So naturally, I played their video games.

Games based on franchises, even back then, sucked. And although there are some good games based on the Ninja Turtles, the first game on the NES, was fucking awful. Not only was it awful, but it was so hard. So difficult for a young, rage-filled child like me, that I remember biting my NES controller so hard that one of my loose teeth popped out.

Thank god for that loose tooth, because I had to use the Tooth Fairy money I got to buy a new NES controller -- because I smashed the shit out of it, making it only one of two times I've broken a controller I was so angry. (The other time was because I kept losing to Sagat in Street Figher II Turbo Edition)

To anyone with a similar childhood memory of this game, this video is for you (and me).

I actually fake-dyed my hair once to be Raphael for Halloween when I was about five. Best costume I've ever had. And truth be told, I might be one of the few who ENJOYED the original TMNT... gross difficulty and Raphael' pathetic reach (and power) and everything.

You do realize Raphael hasn't got hair, right?

You don't?!?

Well I wasn't ready to go bald myself just yet, so I had to improvise!

Of course, my family was big on TMNT, so we got this.

How the shell did the developers expect all the little kids that this was made for to play this game? Not even Korean children could have gotten good at it.

For anyone who played the game. Did you guys remember that one jump in the sewers in the 3rd or 4th level? Where it's impossible to make because you'd hit your head on the platform and fall in the water. Yeah, I remember raging over that one.

This game birthed a generation of gamer nerd rage. Those friggin vines in the damn... those friggin vines. When I rescued a turtle whod died previously in the game I nearly wept for joy.
