Rate the Game: Week 98

**M-A-G** · 02-22-2022, 08:14 AM

Happy 2/22/22 to everyone! Yeah, I'm using mm/dd/yy format. Who cares? That's not what's important. What's important is that you're here and you're here for the 98th edition of Rate the Game! It's the final one of February and we're no doubt looking forward to some better weather in the next month. I'm just thankful we didn't suffer from another Queen Elsa scenario like last year. I'm also thankful for everyone participating in last week's affair as we looked back on the Nintendo 64's Banjo-Kazooie! How'd it stack up overall? Let's look at the leaderboard....

Fortunately, I didn't have to do a lot of math when calculating the average as Banjo-Kazooie drew solid fours across the board with the people who played it. I don't think that's ever happened with any of the other games. Well it's got some company in that orgy going on in the number 27 slot. Why not throw in a bear and bird on top of that?

Well now we get into what are we going to throw on top of this for this week? Let's dig up number 98, shall we?

Nailed it. I got this whole "pulling out" thing down to a science. On tap for this week is the Super Nintendo RPG EarthBound! Or for you Japanese connoisseurs, Mother 2, the sequel to Mother, if you're not sure what we're talking about. This game has developed quite a following in the past few years but the question is how does it fare with you? Are you part of the pack that has put this game up to sacred cow status? We've got the poll and the forum to express ourselves here so let's dig in. Stay warm and stay safe. Until next week!
