  That could be the Bill and Ted, but it doesnt look like a phone booth. It looks like a potter potty from Maniac Mansion 2 Day of Tentacle! The prince went down to 600 points. but really if it was aiming for nostalgia, then the fucker shouldve added a second controller mode.

  I've always wondered why you guys called it "Bargain Bin". When I hear that, I imagine those big... bins... full of $5 dvds or games where even the store doesn't give two craps to organize and you have to dig through the garbage, hoping to find a gem.
  
  Why can't you just replace it with "Discount"? "It's not worth the full price, but at a discount, it would be worth it."

  @Denimourson

  We went round and round for a while on that one, but what it finally came down to was one specific notion: Bargain Bin means that you'll actually be owning the game instead of just playing it and then returning it. That lends more weight to the rating over a Rental where you return the game when you're done and don't even have the option of coming back to it. However, at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what the words are, they're just arbitrary names mapped onto a five star scale.

  5. Better Than Sex

  4. Full Price

  3. Bargain Bin

  2. Rental

  1. Some Old Bullshit

  0. F*ck You

  We went through a period where no one seemed to know what was where until I finally just put my foot down and laid it out this way. As such, we won't be changing it again, as it would skew all of our previous ratings unless we completely redid the labels from the ground up. Hopefully that clarifies things.

  Have the Loading Bartenders not played GTA2 back on the PC in the '90s?  I used to play it only online at LAN larties and it kicked ass.  RCR is basically GTA2 on steroids on steroids.

  I think that we have another challenge!!!! Do I smell a retro playthrough of X-men Arcade?

  It seems like the only reason to buy this would be for the nostalgia, with all of the references being thrown at you. Then again, that's not a very good reason to buy it. I think I'll pass.

  I do wish for a sequel regarding the 16 bit generation, I can only hope its more isometric view.

  Rental means you don't want to play it again, bargain bin means you do.

  I say for the next retro game Happy Hour is Jason trying to beat X-Men Arcade with Nightcrawler with one set of lives.

  ugh...

  I understood the references and I loved the chip-music and sounds, the overall look of the game was nostalgic... the problem I had was that the game immediately starts throwing reference after reference at a high speed pace. It is relentless! It's like they took a giant blender full of everything you ever might have seen from the 80's (and then some), forced it down your throat, injected you with the highest dose of adrenaline, kicked you in the balls before blasting you out of a canon at high speed... and that's just before you finish the 1st mission.

  the game never slows down long enough for you to full appreciate what is going on... I'm still not quite sure what the story was about. it's just a constant barrage of HEY LOOK AT THAT! WHAT'S GOING ON OVER HERE? WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO? WHY IS THAT FRIGGIN DUCK HUNT DOG LAUGHING AT ME!? I'M DEAD! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?

  They just threw in references for references sake and that doesn't make it a good game. it's fun for a few minutes, but it wears you down so fast that I don't think anyone would ever play this a second time.

  It's a nostalgia centrifuge of craziness that focuses less on the actual game and more about showing off it's knowledge of the NES library.
