   If I had to pick a favorite game of all time, it would be hard but I'd have to say Cave Story. This is the kind of game that people call off work sick, or skip school to play. The weapons, the secrets, the bosses, the music, the story - All some of the best I've seen out of a 2D platformer. If you STILL haven't played this game yet, go play it right now. Make that your priority in life. You won't regret it.… Expand

   Great Aesthetic, Game Design, Price (free) Cave Story brought me back to gaming after a long break. I was thoroughly charmed right from the beginning. The game plays and looks like a game from the 8-bit era, except that all of the pitfalls of that era have been fixed. There is no flashing screen or slowdown when there are too many moving things on screen. The enemies don't re-pop when you leave the screen and come back. This allows for near-perfect nostalgia: all the good parts of the aesthetic and none of the bad game limitations. Add to that some great game design - The game comes across as very well edited. The levels, plot and items progress together. By the finale, you should feel like a pro with the items at your disposal, which you will need in order to win. On top of it all, it is chock full of easter eggs, and is free to download. What more could you want?… Expand

   For a sidescrolling 3rd person shooter this game is fantastic. I'm not sure if there's a newer version to be rated, but the old one is GREAT. Bosses can be frustrating, but I think they should be. Great story and great gameplay. Very undersung.… Expand
