I'll enter for this apparent rubbish of a game. I remember it being reviewed in Gamepro back in the day, and thinking it looked cool. I never actually played it. When I got into emulators in the late 90s, I was going to download it and try it out, but all the reviews told me that playing it felt like being gang raped by a large group of angry mountain gorillas, so I didn't try it out. Since then, I have had a great fear of gorillas. Once, in Oeno Zoo in Tokyo, I saw a gorilla and fell into the fetal position and started crying and whimpering, "no bro... no bro... ." So please, if I do win this raffle, I ask that you include a container of Vasoline to help reduce the pain and a box of tissues for my tears.

Put me on the raffle. I hope I don't win it. Otherwise I'll have to make a video of myself playing it  :?

I don't have time to write up my usual "In Defense of Yo' Bro!" post, so this will have to suffice... here is one little quote from this far too lenient (7/10 score) review:

Quote
"The graphics in Yo' Bro! are not up to the quality one has a right to expect from a graphics powerhouse like the TurboGrafx-16."


Still, it is not the worst game and is strangely addictive for me (it gets challenging at the end and I guess I'm drawn to games that I can't beat easily).




More to come...

Never played it and would love to have a new way to inflict punishment onto others that doesn't leave visible bruises, so please count me in!

Oh man, this brings back memories of reading Nintendo Power. Every game got a ridiculously good review. Additionally, lest we forget, the magazine must also kiss the ass of the system it is on, with such gems of quotes as "a graphics powerhouse like the TurboGrafx-16."

What really amazes me is that we as childern ate this shit up! I think the best descriptive quote of nintendo power I've read was "cranking out articles that appeared to be re-worded marketing copy for the latest Nintendo products."

Yes. This dovetails with what I just posted in the Nintendo Power thread, ha! I wish I read this first.

All magazines (media) sell the readers to their clients (the advertisers).

I always hated how 99% of articles/reviews would recycle silly stuff (a superficial regurgitation of the setting/plot/mechanics of a game) instead of diving into relevant insights that the critic/reviewer actually experienced. If you are lucky, a few scattered sentences comprise the entire "original" content of a typical review.




I can't find my real "In Defense of Yo' Bro!" post yet, so this will have to do for now.
