Rate the Game: Week 73

[M-A-G]

Who's ready for another round of this shindig?!? Let's brew that bacon, scramble some cereal, and fry up the coffee this morning to prepare for week 73 of Rate the Game! It's part of a balanced breakfast! Speaking of which, let's dig into some nutritional information as we need to find Portal's spot on the leaderboard after last week's affair. GLaDOS, Chell, and the Companion Cube seemed to resonate fairly well so let's see where all of that love gets it....

Well it looks like we've got another title sitting pretty among the elite up at the top as Portal shares the number 4 spot with Chrono Trigger with a 4.5 overall score. Thinking with portals, indeed. But what's on tap this time around? Well let's dive into another breakfast staple, THE BOWL OF DOOM! Take it away .gif....

Well we go back to a console we haven't touched in a while, the Nintendo 64, with this week's game. This is yet another product from the union of Nintendo and Rare, the 007-esque spy-thriller adventure, Perfect Dark! I remember the hype surrounding this one but ultimately how did it live up to all of the hoopla in your mind? Is it a Nintendo 64 treasure? Is Joanna Dark every bit an iconic hero in the veins of Lara Croft? What say you, good people of TPWW? Rate and discuss and share and rant and stuff. Until next week....
