[M-A-G]

Hey, you all. I may be shivering and bundled up, but all of this extra work is keeping me moving around and busy and warm. Welcome to another edition of where the hot stuff is. It's Rate the Game, now in week 167! Last week called for us to pull double duty as we looked at two games: Donkey Kong and Fatal Fury, two games that are drastically different from one another, but both occupying a special place in our hearts. Now to see what spaces they occupy on our leaderboard. I am pleased that I can make new additions to the list after our little hiccup a while back. Behold...

Both of our quarter-munching companions rank slightly above average. Donkey Kong gets a decent 3.33 score, with Fatal Fury getting a slightly better position with a 3.4. If you could combine the two concepts into one game, I'd sure it'd be amazing. Imagine the Bogard brothers hopping barrels from Geese Howard at the top of a building and then kicking him off of it instead of just moving on to another screen. And they'd have hammers.

Anyway, let's continue on, shall we? Give us the goods, bowl...

Time for another more modern entry. Hopefully, it's in a much better position than Alien: Isolation and a good chunk of you guys enjoyed it. Or maybe you didn't enjoy it? Let us know! It's FarCry 3! Let's do the rating thing and we'll see you next week. No double voting on the other forums.
