Rate the Game: Week 38

[M-A-G]

So we have arrived at the time where we do the thing with the games and the ratings and the discussions and what not. Last week's Shadow of the Colossus was actually quite the popular fellow and managed to snag some decent scores. How decent? Well, see for yourself!

Yup, Shadow of the Colossus breaks a long drought and not only manages an average score of 4.28 but it lands itself in the top five with some exclusive company! Can it hold that position? We're 12 games away from clearing out the container. Time to take another step closer to that with another shuffle and draw. Shall we?

Aaaand, ta-da! It's old school once again. REALLY old school as your game to rate this week is the legendary Pac-Man. Did you have Pac-Man fever? Rate and discuss and share and we'll see you next week!

Fun for it's time but nothing grabs me.

I appreciate that your finger nails are clean.

I appreciate that your finger nails are clean.

I should probably trim them. :o

I remember the Dairy Queen back in my town when I was younger had a Pac-Man cabinet. My sisters would dominate it and I'd always be sad and throw a fit because I couldn't get good at it. Well, we grow up and things change. Not too much, though, as one of my sisters made a Ms. Pac-Man costume to wear to her job for Halloween. :|

So fucking boring. My biggest memory of Pac-Man is watching my dad get pissed because he was drunk and throwing the controller to break it. Usually happened when he would go for the cherries.


Once, I said "got greedy" and got the shit knocked out of me for it. I was 4. Dad's amirite.

Well I can relate to a drunk and angry father but that's about it. My dad never picked up a controller in his life. Shame. If he had been into games I'd imagine he'd have played the Call of Duty series.
