Okay, let's get one thing right off the bat: Duke Nukem Forever is NOT a bad game. It was just released at the wrong time. Gearbox did they're job and gave us an Old-School Shooter that called back to the days of Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. The problem for most people was that it was TOO Old-School. Those people will tell you that this game is terrible, but it's not! It's funny, it pokes fun at other games (I'm looking at you Halo, which I do enjoy, but the reference was just too damn funny), and it's just plain fun to play. It can be easily obtained new for 5 Dollars as of this writing.

Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad is a Hack n' Slash game inspired by 70's Exploitation Films. You play as two Samurai Sisters whose job is to kill Zombies and save a city. Pretty basic stuff, but with a slight twist: If either of the Sisters get covered in too much Zombie Blood, they go berserk and fight even harder than before. Like I said, it's pretty basic, but it's also pretty damn fun.

Wing Commander Arena is the most recent game in the Wing Commander series of games. However, this isn't one of our beloved FMV Games with Mark Hamill playing as Maverick. No, this is a 3rd-Person Space Shooter Deathmatch game. In all honesty, it's not as good as I thought it would be, being below average at best. It feels like it could have been so much better, but it's like somewhere in the development process, something went horribly wrong. I apologize to all the hardcore Wing Commander Fans who may be reading this, but this was NOT the sequel I was expecting.

I picked up Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen yesterday, and it's already managed to suck me in. Seriously, Capcom did everything right with this one, and it's on par with Resident Evil 6 (Which got a 9.7/10 from me). It feels like Skyrim in some ways, and features a great story, great customization, and an explosive start to the game. It was worth every penny I paid for it.

So I opened this blog to see the first title was Duke Nukem Forever. I immediately stepped back for a moment bracing my self for the insults of how horrible or whatever was about to come. I was not expecting someone to stick up for it. I actually ment to write a blog on here a while back about the game. I really enjoyed it and it was not nearly as bad as some people made it out to be. On a personal scale I give it a 7 out of 10. It is in no way as bad as some of the reviews out there stat it is but it is not perfect either. I enjoyed it enough to beat it and I actually went ahead and bought a second copy just to leave sealed. That game is one of my controversial games in my collection now. Glad to see you gave it a shout out.
I am not into games like Elderscrolls and stuff so I really could care less about Dragon's Dogma. But I will admit that is some pretty badass artwork.

Duke Forever IS a bad game... but it's also a lot more fun than it gets credit for.

@noiseredux:
Tell us WHY it's bad, and I will counter every single point you make.

I loved Dragon's Dogma and wanted to play the extra content in Dark Arisen but the save game bug has me holding off.

Once it is fixed I'll jump back in. Be sure to back up your saves.

@ReddMcKnight: lol, touche. I can't really put my finger on it. But it's just not quite 'good' to me. In that it feels like a clunky mess. But like I said, I was able to see beyond that and find it really fun.
Also, Oneechanbara games are super bloody stupid fun. Big fan.
