Topic: Let's Celebrate Chicken Brutus's 100th Review!

Philip_J_Reed · 2012-03-03T20:30:40+00:00

...eventually! I was putting together my new blog and figured I'd link to each of my game reviews for Nintendo Life. You can find those here: http://noiselesschatter.com/game-reviews/ Anyway, I thought I'd count them up, and I ended up with 85 reviews to date. Not too shabby, and at the pace I've been going, I'll be hitting 100 pretty soon. So I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for reading, for giving me feedback that helps me to improve my writing, and for articulating your disagreements in some of the most impressively thoughtful comments I've ever seen on the internet. I've made a good number of friends here thanks to the reviews that I've done, and every single reader, commenter, or Facebook-sharer means the world to me. So thank you. Anyway, the numerologist in me was curious about how my scores trended. After all, I have sort of a reputation here for being particularly harsh, or for at least getting some pretty bad games to review! So here's the breakdown: 1/10: 6 games 2/10: 11 games 3/10: 5 games 4/10: 11 games 5/10: 6 games 6/10: 11 games 7/10: 13 games 8/10: 12 games 9/10: 10 games 10/10: none! It's interesting to me how few of these games scored so low! In fact, there's a fairly even split here between "not bad" and "...okay, they're bad." I guess I don't get given all the garbage games after all! Or maybe I just cracked and started handing out 9s so I wouldn't go insane. Either is a possibility. But no perfect 10s. Perhaps for my 100th review? We'll see what Daz assigns me. I'm thinking Bit.Boy: World Tour. So join me on this final stretch of 15 reviews. We'll get to 100 before we know it, and I owe it all to you guys. Thanks so much. :) And for those who are curious, the 1s are: Kidz Bop Dance Party , Fireplacing , Incoming! , The Hidden , 101 Pinball World , and Halloween: Trick or Treat . Nevermind what I said above. Maybe I really do get the worst games...

More bad games please! The Incoming! review from a few years back was a classic.

The countdown begins! #90 was Shinobi and the final 10 were kicked off with Pirates Assault, because Daz must have thought I got too many good ones in a row.

For game 100, Daz will just mail you a squirrel's head inside a DS box and ask for a 1000-word review by the following evening.

Who wouldn't want a 3D fireplace with them wherever they go?

Can't wait. It's gonna be a bad game. I'm sure. Well, who knows. Maybe he'll get lucky and it'll be decent?

You are indeed evil.

But I can promise it's not. For better or worse.

Maybe another doll or makeup/dressup game. Or perhaps the highly anticipated Incoming 2?
