Items: The Good, The Bad, The Zelda

If you've ever played a Zelda game, you probably get excited when you enter a new dungeon. Why? New dungeon = new item! Generally, the series is very good about giving the player cool new items. Unfortunately, sometimes it can be...less than amazing. These are examples of my favorite, and least liked items from the Zelda series!

Bad Items

Lantern

As seen in: Minish Cap

Games are usually pretty good about getting the less cool items out of the way first. This way, you only feel more and more powerful as the adventure progresses. On rare occasion, they give you something really, really lame. Enter: the lantern.

This is not what you expect mid-game. At all. Awkward Zombie pretty much sums my feelings up in this comic

Megaman Legends Review

After seeing all the fans encouraging Capcom to go through with Megaman Legends 3, I thought I'd go ahead and review the first of the series!


Info
Title:          Megaman Legends
System:     Playstation, Nintendo 64
Rating:       E

Note: Though technically referred to as the Legends series, it was released on the N64 under the title "Megaman 64". Very clever name, I know.


Story
In this incarnation of the Megaman story, our titular character is a treasure hunter. He, along with his team, search old ruins for valuable antiques and power-generating crystals known as refractors. However, after crash landing on Kattleox Island, Megaman finds that the island is under siege by a group of pirates. The pirates believe that the legendary "Mother Lode" is located under the island, and will stop at nothing to get it. As Megaman protects the island, he'll stumble upon it's dangerous secrets...
