I ended up picking up Starfox for the Switch.  Still trying to get this game rolling... I keep finding reasons not to play (other games) when I've had a decent amount of excitement for this title

@retro junkie lol understood

@targetrasp -- same here... I think once it hits streaming, I will check it out.  Hopefully it hits prime.  Prime has been slacking lately in the movies selection

General Discussion / Masters of the Universe

LOL.. has anyone checked out the new Masters of the Universe?   This is another Amazon MGM Studios movie. It is streaming on Amazon right now.  We did not expect much from it -- this is exactly how we went into the movie.  It's not the greatest movie, decent cast, and I will say there are some really funny parts that IMO made it worth the view.  We probably will watch it again.

It even has a cameo of Dolph Lundgren! LOL... it's a short cameo

Is this on your list to watch?  Have you already watched Masters of the Universe? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thoughts, comments, post it up!

yeah... I don't think I have played an Xbox console in over a decade now.  I was playing Reach a lot when that 1st came out. In fact, I bought the Reach styled console as well... good times.  Ended up playing a bunch of Gears of War as well.  Just too much of a limited gaming time frame to have tons of consoles anymore.

Early Rare was ok, I remember a bunch of jet pack games. They started hitting their stride during the nes era with games like RC Pro Am and Battle toads and became amazing by N64. It's hard to think of a bad (subject to interpretation, let's change that to poor performing) rare game until Microsoft crapped it up for the 360. Kameo and Perfect Dark were early (maybe even launch) titles that for the 360 that were completely missable. Viva Pinata was the one great 360 game by Rare I recall. I even bought the Rare Replay and pretty much used it to relive some Battle Toads frustrations and play Viva Pinata again. Now the only thing keeping the name alive is Sea of Thieves. Fantastic game but it lost me quick because of the shared world. I absolutely could not stand trying to learn a game with a bunch of other just wrecking my guts. I could see the fun having a good crew going around giving new groups and solo players grief, so I get it.

They've since made it where you can create a private realm, but I moved on long before that option was available. I heard tale of another ambitions project that eventually got shuttered and with that failure so went most of Rare's left-over talent.

Holy crap, completely forgot to mention Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie - so they did well for themselves during the snes era too!

I have so many PS3 games... it's pretty crazy.  The PS3 sales back in the day were really good.  You could also get buy 2 get 1 free many times with the Wii and PS3 (not sure about Xbox).  My PS3 received a ton of play... especially with PS1 and PS2 games.  I still have the PS3 ready to go in the center as my son and I are finishing a few Lego games and platinum trophying them.

When my buddy from Germany came to town, we ended up playing Perfect Dark a lot.  Those were good times.  I have a lot of good memories playing Perfect Dark.  I remember when Microsoft bought Rare... I was like "NOOOOOoooooo" as Darth Vader Said in Revenge of the Sith LOL  ;D

Once the buyout happened and several other titles fell out on the 360, I figured Rare's days were numbered.  There was always SO much hype behind their games and their games were always behind it seemed or took too long to release.  I had a feeling that would happen... and it seems that is the case these days.

However, does Rare even matter these days?  This is a HARD question to ask if you grew up during those days.  This might need a topic of its own.

My Xbox 360 and Xbox one has been stored away for a while now. Long enough that I have forgotten what games I have for them. Nope it hasn't effected me.  8)
