WarioWare: Twisted, the third WarioWare release stateside (but the second in Japan), takes the microgame format of the original and throws in a gimmick: a motion-sensing gyro built into the cartridge that allows the game to recognize when the user tilts the system. And hey, it works great, and the microgames are excellent - the gimmick doesn't distract from the formula of the original, and obviously also worked well when using touch screen, Wii-motion controls, or the Wii U game pad in those sequels. Weirdly-shaped cartridge aside, it's the most forgettable entry of the series. The novelty of rotation just has a little less interesting you can do with it - some of the game's formats include big spinning, little spinning, spinning while pressing A sometimes, or just pressing A without spinning. On this list, I tried to at least diversify the number of series present and not overrunning one series too much, (I tried, at least.) so into HMs it goes. HM04: Halo: Combat Evolved (XBOX, 2001) Halo is a tricky one - I'm not a huge fan of FPS's and I've never so much as played a minute of the game's single-player campaign. I'm gonna do a trick that'll come up a bunch in the actual list and combine a couple games into one here - my experience with the Halo games is a lot of 1 and a decent amount of 2 and that's it, that's the list. Like just about any multiplayer game, my opinion is largely colored by the experiences I've had playing the game with friends. Back in high school, a group of other misfit nerds and I played all sorts of multiplayer games after school, and Halo was strongly in the rotation. I was never particularly great, but I was good enough to be competitive, and came to appreciate the quality of the game despite never being swept up by the fervor of the era. But it deserves a nod as a quality multiplayer game and more specifically a positive formative experience of my youth. --- it's an underwater adventure ride <cite>Naye745 posted [p:948997585] in The Board ...
