This is the website that I'm using to challenge myself.

I have a confession. I'm a critic. I've tried to quit. I've tried so many times. There's already to many critics in the world as it is. But just when I think I'm done criticizing, I run into a something that brings the old man out of me again. This time it was gamespot's list of the Greatest Games of All Time. My endeavor is beat every single game that was put on this list. I'm mostly doing it as a tribute to one of the greatest game critics of all time, Greg Kasavin. No other critic has made me want to run out and buy a game as much as Kasavin has.

Anyway I just beat two more games from the list today and was deeply impressed with both of them. I have just finished ActRaiser for the first time, which was surprisingly easy considering its contenders of the time. Super Mario World makes Actraiser look like an EC (early childhood) production when comparing the difficulty between the two, but nevertheless it was still a very enthralling, if not original, adventure with a very subtle yet beautiful theme at the conclusion.

My second entry of games to cross off the list of completion was Mega Man 2. This was my very first exposure to the Mega Man world (other than I remember as a kid seeing a friend play a full anime cut version of Mega Man for his computer), and it left me wondering why I was never exposed to this beautifully crafted world before. Even though, I lived in Africa for 15 years of my life, I still had access to an Nintendo at our neighbors house. So why has it taken me nearly 22 years to get acquainted with one of the greatest NES-era heroes of all time.

I'll review both of these games in full detail later, but for now: Good-night, and Good luck!
