"Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde" from Jaleco. It got pretty good reviews and looked nice.

Yeah, I always meant to pick it up out of curiosity. One of many on my backlog of games to purchase.

Yeah, I played that one on the GameCube and it was...well, it was pretty lousy actually.  Just not noteworthy in any way, and there really wasn't a reason to ever take direct control over your creatures...or at least, that's what I remember of it after all these years.  I got to this series of ice levels and just got bored and traded it in.

But did you think the controls worked, even if the game was mediocre or underwhelming?

For the low number of units I remember you being able to control in the game?  Yeah, it was adequate if a bit simplistic and clunky.  If I remember right, you control your units by selecting certain types of units and then sending all of them at once to a spot you mark in the environment.  If you tag an enemy as your marker, they attack it.  This can lead to instances where an enemy is standing right by a destructable object, so when you go to tag them you actually tag the destructable object but I don't remember that being a big deal.  I think I remember being frustrated at the time not being able to do what I do in actual RTS games, which is mixing and matching units into Control Groups rather than just sending ALL my fighters or ALL my mages.  But like I said, it's been years since I played that game and it didn't make a real impression on me so my memory's really fuzzy on it.

There's a strategy/action game on the N64 called Battlezone that's pretty good. It's kind of like the ancestor of Battalion Wars.

Anyways...

I don't remember that game. I remember the BattleTanx games. I loved the commercials where they run over the Snuggle Bear and Teletubbies.  :D

Yeah I remember those commercials too, they were pretty funny. They are on YouTube if you want to see them again.
The Nintendo 64 had some awesome commercials. The one for Super Smash Brothers was especially epic. Though the one for Paper Mario was so cheesy and lame that it made me NOT want the game.

I loved the original Smash Brothers commercial. It was priceless. I always hoped that a new game would use the same commercial style for it's ads.

And what do you mean by no logic? My statement could be just as easily valid as yours. Please unpack this statement so I may understand what you mean.

I didn't say you had no logic. I said the Internet is no place to make logical conclusions. I was being facetious but I guess it was a bit dry...

Oh, sorry. That one flew right over me. I'm a bit dazed right now.

I'm working a 13 hour shift and feel like I might be catching the flu (hope not). Dizzy and light headed earlier and a lot of general muscle pain. Plus I have an all-night shift that is also 13 hours tomorrow night. though if I keep feeling worse I may just have to call in tomorrow.

THE CONDUIT!

It is in second place now. It is kind of funny how all but one of the other games is a sequel... and the non-sequel is a licensed game. Who says the industry lacks originality?

The Conduit looks good and I might get it when I have the money, but the lifelong Ghostbusters fan in me had to vote for what is considered by Dan Akroyd to be Ghostbusters 3.

Quick! Let's all set up bots to refresh one of the Zelda pages!  :D
Though, why would a bot sit on that page? Did someone set it up SPECIFICALLY to keep FF7 on top? That's kind of silly, really if you ask me. It's not like anyones manhood is staked on FF7 being the bestest awesomerest game evar.

Or it's just evidence that FF7 players sucks at video games and life, seeing that they're still playing it.
