Never owned a handheld before so I don't know exactly what to say about 3DLand.Mario has been done to death and they are still beating that old horse even after so many years.
Rayman Origins on the other hand I wish they would of released it on the PC as well so I could give it try.Unfortunately,that was not the case.
Laughed quite a bit on this vid,so thank you for this.

Nintendo, Sony, Naughty Dog, James Cameron, morons who's bought 3D TVs and 3DSs and are desperately trying to convince themselves they didn't waste thousands of dollars on terrible gimmick tech. I'm not saying they're right, just saying there's people attempting to claim it actually has weight to it.Edhellen said:
I should really stop viewing the episodes in which he reviews a Nintendo game, seeing as a large chunk of his reviews are more about taking shots at the Nintendo Hardware rather than the actual fucking game. That and his hatred towards everything Nintendo. It's not that he HAS to like something or some company, but his bias really shows.
Why would you ever get a Ubisoft game for the PC with their 3-install DRM?DarkhoIlow said:Rayman Origins on the other hand I wish they would of released it on the PC as well so I could give it try.Unfortunately,that was not the case.

Sometimes I wish Smash Bros had fatalities just so we could have the satisfaction of putting down Mario for good. Or at least til the next round.
Upper 80s, lower 90s? That's what you call lukewarm? Jim Sterling is right (as always). Hate of of ten much? Or in this case lukewarm out of ten?IncredibleKoosh said:
The point is I just disagree with the assertion that, because it got the equivalent of a B+/A- score, that it means the critics gave it a lackluster score. If I were Ubisoft, I'd trumpet around those scores because they're pretty sweet.
Lukewarm would probably be more along the lines of a 60 or 70. Maybe even a 50.
and yet ... you still couldn't give me a rayman game, where as a Mario game I'd actually consider
Not enough coverage of Mario. It ws a fun game, but like Dragon Age 2, the shortcuts are blinding obvious. First the main game is impossably easy making a 3 hour gamplay timeframe optimistic on Nintendo's part, and that's with getting the star coins. No problem, there's the special world. What is the special world? The exact same levels with the difficulty set to normal, or a short time limit foricing you to kill enemies to keep alive, or a little shadow bastard running after you to kill you if you hold still for 3 seconds or both. Even then, that didn't last long. No problem, have a final level that opens only if you beat all levels ith Mario and Luigi and get the top of the flagpole on each level. At least the level was something new by that point. Oh and did I mention that if you actually manage to lose enough lives in various levels you can get a special left that makes you invincible? You can, though when you amass extra lives like multiplying tribbles it can get hard to reach that point.
Oh, for the love o' god. On the day of the internet blackout, you serve Zero Punctuation using that ad that takes up the screen and de-syncs the damn video? Gimme a break, Escapist! It doesn't work right!
I've been tempted to pick up Rayman for the last couple months. Is there a real difference between the Wii and 360 version? I've noticed that the Wii version is generally reviewed higher.
Yahtzee continues to criticize Mario in the most arbitrary ways possible....would it help if the stars were replaced by Nirnroots, Riddler trophies, or pigeons?.....
Wait a minute......you don't collect stars in SM3D.....

Rayman Origins is definitely not the type of game I'd usually play but I ended up playing it with my friend on his console in co-op mode, it was surprisingly fun and I usually don't like platformers.
