I remember first playing this game with the GameCube Demo Disc. I had so much fun with it and it convinced me to try the full game. I loved the fun, action packed gameplay with slow down, Mach Speed, etc. Definitely an underrated Capcom classic.
One of my favorite games ever an awesome action game that doesn't have a ton of special moves like DMC or OG GOW but still is quite fun especially using the the VFX powers. One of the few games I played on all the difficulties just to unlock all the characters and the nice touch of having "new" cutscenes with all the characters. And I would love an official PC version since it is still stuck on the GC and PS2.
I've got this on PS2. It is a pretty solid beat'em up game that has replay value with the other characters you unlock adding different challenges to the game. If the cartoon series was included with it, it would add more to the game as it gives more insight into what Joe's like as a character.
I remember trying this on the Gamecube via Gamefly back in the day. I was still a fan of Power Rangers at the time so I loved stuff like it. I loved the art style, the sense of humor, and the gameplay so much that I decided to buy it outright. And when you beat the game, you get the option to replay it as different characters! Viewtiful Joe is easily one of my favorite Capcom franchises ever and I would love to see this series brought back in some capacity. Even if it's something as simple as an HD collection, I would get it immediately.
Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II PlusSEGA re-released in 2003 an updated version of Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II for the Nintendo GameCube in 2003 called Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus.
Early in the effort to run unsigned code on the GameCube, people found that when playing PSO and connecting to a server using the GameCube Broadband Adapter, a regular PC could be made to pretend it was a server which would fool the game.
After making the connection, data could be streamed back to the GameCube, making it easy for hacking and false servers. Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus was created in mind to fix this problem. Along with this problem, SEGA included extra content for offline with this game including:
- Episode II Challenge Mode, which was perviously only online.
- Perviously Online only quests, Seat of the Heart, West Tower and East Tower are now available offline.
- Central Dome Fire Swirl, a downloadable quest for the Xbox, is now available offline.
- The downloadable goods from Fake in Yellow quest are now available offline.
Aside from some extra cheat protection, Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus ran exactly the same as the original version and all data from characters, items, ect, can be swapped between the two instantly.Action Fantasy Science fiction Sandbox

JourneyIn Journey the player controls a robed figure in a vast desert, traveling towards a mountain in the distance. Other players on the same journey can be discovered, and two players can meet and assist each other, but they cannot communicate via speech or text and cannot see each other's names. The only form of communication between the two is a musical chime. This chime also transforms dull, stiff pieces of cloth found throughout the levels into vibrant red, affecting the game world and allowing the player to progress through the levels. The robed figure wears a trailing scarf, which when charged by approaching floating pieces of cloth, briefly allows the player to float through the air.
The developers sought to evoke in the player a sense of smallness and wonder, and to forge an emotional connection between them and the anonymous players they meet along the way. The music, composed by Austin Wintory, dynamically responds to the player's actions, building a single theme to represent the game's emotional arc throughout the story. Reviewers of the game praised the visual and auditory art as well as the sense of companionship created by playing with a stranger, calling it a moving and emotional experience. Journey won several "game of the year" awards and received several other awards and nominations, including a Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media nomination for the 2013 Grammy Awards.Fantasy Kids
