Rate the Game: Week 93

[M-A-G]

Oh, happy day, it's another week! Time for another Rate the Game. It's the highlight of my week just as much as I'm sure it's the highlight of yours...underneath a bunch of other stuff. Well let's not stand on ceremony too long here as we've got Goldeneye 007 from last week to tackle. A lot of love thrown its way but does Bond on the Nintendo 64 have the mojo to take the top spot?

Well, not THE top spot but A top spot as it shoots its way up to cushy number 4, leapfrogging over some pretty solid titles to claim elite status. Bond is indeed the man with the golden game. But are there other games that can knock it from its perch? What's on tap this week?

There we go. This week we've got more of the Blue Bomber to tackle. No, it's not Mega Man 10 like I stupidly believed back in the day. It's the next generation of Mega Man that kicked off with this Super Nintendo title, Mega Man X! How does this iteration of the Blue Bomber fare with you? Let's do that rating thing and look back on this title as January rolls on. Until next week!
