A Look at the Bizarre Denizens of Ooo Part 2

In this installment we look at some zombies, some princesses, and some other things.

This melty candy bar zombie is pretty neat, with his side and arm missing, and his covered eyes.
More after the jump!

A Look At The Bizarre Denizens of Ooo: PART 1

Adventure Time is one of the best cartoons ever made, mostly for the weird and wonderful characters filling the shows strange lands. From candy people to hellish demons, all of them cleverly designed. For the next long while I will be looking at all of the minor characters of the show, starting with the candy people, the residents of the town that the main character Finn protects.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes Review

I love the Lego games. They take my two of my favorite things, collecting shiny objects and slapstick humor, and make games based around them. This game takes a different spin on that, though.

Story-8/10- The basic plot is that Lex Luthor and The Joker team up, make a giant Joker robot that can spray mind control gas, and mind control the whole of the USA. Batman and Superman learn of this, and go to stop them.

As this is the first Lego game to have voice acting, they throw in witty dialogue and pretty great voice acting, my favorite being The Penguin. It also has lots of references to the comic books, with a reference to the obscure Kite-Man, and Batman having a supply of Kryptonite in case Superman turns evil.

Rayman Raving Rabbids (GBA) Review

One thing I always found odd about the box art is Rayman's gloves, he usually has white gloves that cover his entire hand, not stupid fingerless gloves. Oh wait I'm supposed to be doing a review.

Story-6/10- This version probably has the best story of the three. The Rabbids attack and kidnap Rayman, but instead of forcing him to silly mini-games, or grueling tasks, Rayman escapes in the very first level with help from his flying bug friend Murphy. We also learn the back-story of the Rabbids, and why they became evil. They were peaceful, gullible creatures that were constantly made fun of and hurt by others, so they decided to get their revenge.

Rayman Raving Rabbids (DS) Review

Released in 2006, RRR was the long awaited sequel to Rayman 3. But instead of getting an amazing platforming experience that would have revolutionized gaming, we got a bunch of fun mini-games. This is the DS version however, and it's probably the best version of the three released.

Story-2/10- The story does not make sense at all. Apparently the Rabbids are invading Earth and destroying it's various landmarks, eventually they kidnap Rayman and force him to win trophies for his freedom. None of the invading Earth stuff is mentioned again by the way, not even in the ending.
