Plants VS Zombies GOTY<br \/>\n2. Super Meat Boy<br \/>\n3. VVVVVV<br \/>\n4. AaAaAA!!! &#8211; A Reckless Disregard for Gravity<\/p>\n<p>Best game I think is either AaAAaAaAAAA!!! or Plants VS Zombies. The other two require quick reflexes and knowing exactly what you did before so you won&#8217;t fuck up.<br \/>\nWell, actually they all do. But it&#8217;s something about games 2 and 3 that make them harder than the other two.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about them. First, Plants VS Zombies.<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t see why this game is so popular, or so addicting. I do now.<br \/>\nZombies are coming for your braaaaiiinnnnssss. Why? They want to know why you&#8217;re able to make plants that can attack them, so they want to feast on your head.<br \/>\nYou however aren&#8217;t going down without a fight. With the power of the Sun, you have to defend your house from the hordes of ever increasing strengths of zombies using your plants.<br \/>\nEach time you complete a level, you get a new plant. What makes this game addicting, yet also frustrating, is the night and fog levels.<br \/>\nYou get plants with increasing damage, yet also increasing in how much Sun you need to place just one of them. If you&#8217;re unable to defend yourself, the zombie will simply walk into your house and eat your brain.<br \/>\nYou do have a critical line of defense, but it can only be used once. A lawnmower on each lane. If the zombie manages to get through your defenses, it&#8217;ll get mowed down. But if another zombie manages to get through&#8230; consider your brain theirs.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nSecond game, Super Meat Boy. This game seems to be popular with the resident fags of the DMT Chatroom (not all of them).<br \/>\nThis game involves a small wad of meat who&#8217;s inlove with&#8230; a small wad of bandages. And of course there&#8217;s an evil guy. This guy is named&#8230; Mr Fetus. Seriously, who wrote the script?<br \/>\nWhat doesn&#8217;t make this game stupid is the fact it&#8217;s addicting. It&#8217;s manly about bragging rights on how fast you can complete a level against your friends, or enemies.<br \/>\nYou must know the art of walljumping in this game. If not it has a small tutorial placed right into the story.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nThe third game is similar to Super Meat Boy, except it&#8217;s more&#8230; 2D. This game is oddly called &#8220;VVVVVV&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe game has an old arcade game feeling to it. You&#8217;re a Captain of a ship, which obviously something bad happens. After the crash you find out you&#8217;re all alone and have to locate the crew. There&#8217;s no jumping involved since you&#8217;re in a Zero-G environment. You can walk on the ceiling to avoid normal.. and unnormal (hopping &#8220;YES&#8221; things and shit) obstacles.<br \/>\nWhat makes this game quite difficult is, it&#8217;s a memory game. Memory of knowing every level in a split second. Knowing where obstacles are and platforms as quick as you snap your finger.<br \/>\nSome levels, the walls are full of spikes, which is the reason for the game&#8217;s name. Reflex skills are critical.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nAnd we move on to the final game. &#8220;AaAaAA!!! &#8211; A Reckless Disregard for Gravity&#8221;. This game has been known for awhile, yet didn&#8217;t really seem worth the money to me. Even now I have mixed feelings about this game.<br \/>\nThe year is&#8230; sometime in the far future. There&#8217;s flying cars, and buildings. Everything is floating in the air, almost like a Virtual Reality feeling. You&#8217;re a professional jumper.. so you think anyway.<br \/>\nEvery map is inside a cube. You can unlock these cubes by paying for them in&#8230; teeth. Yes. Human teeth.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no real goal to this game, which is why I said I have mixed feelings for it. You jump off a building. You get close to buildings to &#8220;Kiss&#8221; and &#8220;Hug&#8221; them. Every Kiss and Hug and tallied to your final score when you land. Your final score is based from stars. You&#8217;re supposed to get 5\/5 stars.<br \/>\nTo land, you hit your spacebar to activate your parachute. The object is to get all the way down the map and land on the marked area of the landing pad.<br \/>\nSome maps don&#8217;t even have a landing pad, where you have to make a tough decision of when to activate your parachute. Because once you do, you can&#8217;t undo it. You stop collecting points once the parachute is deployed.<br \/>\nLater on, you get other abilities. So far I can flick people as I&#8217;m falling (thumbs up for fans, and a fuck you for protesters), and spraypaint buildings that allow it. Both gather points.<br \/>\nAnother way to get points is to crash head first into colored point signs. Aim for the red &#8220;1 GRAND&#8221; ones the most. A new one is to bombard these large birds. Forgot how much they&#8217;re worth.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nSo that&#8217;s pretty much about them. Do I feel like I wasted my money? No. They were on sale. And it&#8217;s not my money anyway. It&#8217;s my Christmas money. \ud83d\ude42<br \/>\nPlanning to buy two more games later on today or tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few minutes after the clock stuck 12 I bought four games off of Steam. 1.
