Happy weekend, everyone! Welcome to the first episode of SEASON 5 of the Completionist®! We’ll be starting off with another Kirby game: Kirby’s Dreamland 2! It’s a fight against the evil force known as Dark Matter as we team up with animal companions to save Dreamland.

Welcome to the first video of Superhero Month! First up is Batman: Arkham City, notorious for its difficulty of completion. There’s A LOT of stuff. So much DLC, quests–everything that could possibly give me a headache. Do I get it all? Well, you’ll just have to watch to find out!

Happy Friday, everyone! Next up for Superhero Month is the beloved Deadpool! The Sassy Merc tries to save the budget of his game idea within a game–classic Deadpool. This quirky game was recently re-released during the holiday season as a port on Steam, Xbox One, and PS4, so we thought we would give it a go. Is it self-referential enough to make the Completionist® cut?

Ah, Spider-man 2; classic villains, classic scenes, and classic bloopers. Stop Doc Ock before Harry founds how that his father died from his glider…. his trailer…. his glider. Who gave that old man a speaking role!? Today Jirard covers the video game adaptation of Spider-Man 2, which proves to be a big improvement on the previous game even as Peter Parker struggles to keep his personal life and that of Spider-man’s separate. Will the horrors of creepy CGI faces make it extra difficult for both our heroes? Find out!

Welcome back, everyone! Well… you knew this was coming. Get ready to hurt. The infamous Superman 64, featuring the genius of Lex Luthor and his diabolical mazes. Actually… there is nothing else to say about this game. It’s painful, it’s horrible, and treat this as a cautionary video to not ever play it. Enjoy?

Happy Friday, everyone! It’s a new month and a (sort of) new release on today’s Completionist®, woo-hoo! Time to fight the darkness in this dimension and journey to another world in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD! The remake is crisp, cool, and will leave a tear in your eye as the you watch the sunset in-game.

Today’s Completionist® features a blast from the past with a game that I refused to play for the longest time, but I am SO happy I ended up playing it. Sly Cooper combines a fun cartoon and cel-shading art style with a very rewarding collectible mechanic. Seriously, the unlocks in this game is a step above the rest! I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did!

Happy Friday, everyone! This week’s Completionist® has Jirard tackling what maybe one of the best PS3 games of all time – on PS4. Will he be okay among all the thieves in the title? Come check it out!

Happy Friday, everyone! Love Undertale? All the endings make you feel? Then good, you are still human (for now). Human or not, Undertale poses a daunting challenge that is rarely tackled by completionists like myself. But all I can say is that overall, each playthrough is rewarding, unique, and makes me feel in a different way. Undertale started as a simple Kickstarter project, and though it was delayed for nearly 2 years, no one could have expected the impact it would have, spurring raving fans and deep lore theories for this mysterious world. Through all the endings, from the Pacifist route to the Genocide route, this game is truly a work of art, and I present to you our longest and biggest video to date on The Completionist®! Enjoy!

Happy Friday, everyone! Today the Completionist® jumps into the indie platform of Netflix, which features a prequel to our favorite desert series- Borderlan–ERRR–I mean Breaking Bad. It’s a next-gen that comes with some stunning graphics, but suffers from being required to be connected to the Internet to play.

Happy Friday, everyone! Kingdom Hearts has captured the hearts (hah) of many with its rich story, unique worlds, and seemingly endless waiting for the official 3rd game. I have completed Kingdom Hearts and KHII, and this time I tackle the prequel game that has tested my Completionist® abilities to the extreme. Birth by Sleep introduces new characters that connect to the established games and will leave you clutching your heart strings. With so many extras and unlockables on the console version, this game is a challenge for any completionist out there. I hope you enjoy it!

Happy start to the weekend, everybody! Today’s Completionist® features the upcoming Star Fox Zero; we have been looking forward to this game ever since it was announced, and even more so since our interview with Shigeru Miyamoto. The game’s story is pretty much the original story, but in glorious HD and there are portals this time. There are design choices with ships that still make it seem like polygon callbacks that create a cool classic look of the original. Check out the video to find out more, and we hope you enjoy!

Happy Friday, everyone! Join the Completionist® and go from underdog to hero in the reboot of Ratchet and Clank game, that is based off the movie, which is based off the game, which makes fun of itself, which…clever. It has been a long time that a current platformer has been so fresh and well written. Playing through this game has been a lot of fun with lots of clever programming and thought. Though I have not played the previous Ratchet and Clank games, this reboot holds a solid level of enjoyment and looks spectacular. Hope you enjoy the video!

Happy Friday, everyone! Marvel’s Civil War has just come out and to celebrate we have Marvel Ultimate Alliance! Okay, technically I should have done the second for the Civil War story, but I got to do these in order. Save the world from Doctor Doom as you build your roster of heroes to save the world in this…..interesting game.

With the reboot of the new Doom launching today (technically Doom 4), it’s time to take a look at Doom 1, and on Friday the 13th of all days! This game may not seem like it now, but back then it was the center of controversy due to its adult themes (murder, mayhem, and of course, murder). Before you launch into Doom 4/Doom reboot… Doomboot? ReDoom? Come check out the routes of this classic FPS.

Today it’s time to go into the weird Sonic territory, with Sonic Spinball! Back when I was a kid, I barely remember anything of this game besides how hard it was. Now, as an adult, I am interested in seeing how this game lives up to its divided reputation.

Lego video games have the ability to take whatever they tackle and put a charm on it, leading to a fun and enjoyable playthrough. Lego Star Wars became one of the most popular with its first game on the prequel trilogy, then its second game on the original trilogy, then combined the two with some tweaks in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. A game with fun, goofy antics, and, of course: collectibles. So many studs… No really, if I had this many Legos in real life, I’d just build my own spaceship or Death Star or whatever I needed.

Today Jirard finally tackles the game that inspired the show “Defend It!” That’s right–today it’s time for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney! Grab your badges and check it out!

Today we feature a very special episode of The Completionist®–because Asagao Academy is a dream come true. I’m in a video game and you all can date me! This project came as a surprise and we were blown away with how this project developed. So dive in to your first day of school and DATE ME!

Today we have a very special episode of the Completionist® featuring guest star Brutalmoose! Today’s feature: Day of the Tentacle Remastered. Come join us and save the world from evil tentacles!

Tekken 2 expanded on the preview game by upgrading their visuals (for their time!) and introducing new modes and moves. The overall narrative of the game is like most fighting games, but begins to shine when players follow the personal stories of these characters.

The new Ghostbusters movie is coming out, but today Jirard tackles Atari’s Ghostbusters: The Video Game on this week’s episode of The Completionist®! His opinion? This is hands down one of my favorite licensed games of all time. This is the closest we will get to a Ghostbusters III! The music is amazing, there are so many tools to work with, and you get to be a member of New York’s best paranormal defense team!

Today The Completionist® folds a new game into the latest on his finished list, and it is called Paper Mario! The story unfolds as Bowser steals the star rod for his own evil plans in the original N64 Paper Mario . What did Jirard think? We got you covered: It seems that I have played just about every Mario game out there. And now it is time to start the RPG games, starting with the wonderfully designed Paper Mario. The decision to make Mario completely flat has created an iconic second “Mario” character, and it plays very well in this lighthearted storybook world. Come join the 2D fun!

Look, internet, you have given me an amazing platform to do what I love: play video games. But there are games out there that should not be played. Dark games, corporate games. Games that lack heart and soul and are filled with…product placement. Chester Cheetah, what happened to you?

Crash Bandicoot has a troubled origin story, with its creation through corporate betrayal and intended to be a direct rival to Nintendo’s famous mascots. I have not played the first game on this channel because….well all I remember is that I hated it. But with the news of the re-masters of the trilogy, I will take this upon myself for you my loyal completers…completians, my..my…fans. My fans. You know what I mean.

Nemesis. That unrelenting, hulk-like, rocket-wielding monster dead-set on killing you. Everyone knows him, everyone is afraid of him. He made his claim to fame in Resident Evil 3, not in the awful movie. A spin-off game called Biohazard was adapted to become the next Resident Evil game, pushing new innovations and taking a risk on their flagship series.

Today Jirard rolls in style as he covers Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, where Samus faces a world of duality in with dangerous beasts called the Ing and Dark Samus to challenge her. Check out his commentary below and enjoy: This year we celebrated 30 years of Metroid. 30 Years of an amazing franchise! With new games and remasters coming out, its great to relive this story. But today we are talking about the one, the only, the award-winning *drum roll* (pretend you didn’t read the title): METROID PRIME 2: ECHOES! A first-person Metroid game full of immersive atmosphere. The mechanics, the music, the visuals, the upgrades! THE SUITS! But my text here can only do so much justice for this game. Watch the video and let me know!

So far 2016 has been the year of Sony for me, and I’ve been having a blast the entire time. I love diving into these mascots they pushed to compete with each other. From Sly and Crash, Naughty Dog aimed to create a third: Jak and Daxter. This game was meant to stand apart from their previous, linear map games. Jak and Daxter would feature an open world but most importantly; a strong narrative.

I love me some retro games, but I am so happy when I found a new game that you all suggest that really takes me to new places. God of War has been such an experience, I’m crazy hyped for God of War 4 (so much so that Jesse Cox might have hearing loss because of it). I present to you the apocalypse brought on by none other than me! Kratos, the Completionist of killing gods!

It seems just the other day I heard about this game, and now the game comes back, calling to me like the sounds of the city at night. It calls, and I’ve come to answer. L.A. Noire. What happened to you? L.A. Noire. Who did this? L.A. Noire. I will crack this case.

Final Fantasy Tactics. Endless hours of limitless party customization, battles, and of course: tactics. In its infancy, FFT sold a million copies, and today it has a plethora of games spawned from the world it created. But not all older games withstand the tests of time. New innovations and mechanics are introduced that dull the older generation. Did Final Fantasy Tactics get it right? Does this system of combat and strategy hold true after all these years?

This marks 5 years that I have been able to do this amazing job because of all you. I can’t wait to show you what we have in store, and I’m grateful to all you fans, to everyone I’ve ever worked with (NormalBoots, JonTron, MatPat, PBG, ProJared, this list goes on!). To celebrate, I Completed Tales of Symphonia! One of the most requested games for me to play, and a task not taken lightly. So I give to you, my review. Restore mana to the world!

Welcome to the first episode of our new format! Brand new assets, hilarity, but same me! Thank you all for being with us for so long, and hey to all the newbies! This week I tackled Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, and oh boy. I can’t stress how broken this is. I can’t stress how much frustration this game makes. I-I might not be able to complete this. It might be incompletable!!

What started as a tech demo turned into one of the biggest shooters in recent years. Gears 4 is out so I thought I'd tackle Gears of War Ultimate Edition. But one thing has always made me hesitate; those damn multiplayer achievements! Luckily I got to play with tons of fans who made this possible. Thank you, everyone!

It’s almost Halloween (special video for that!) and I’ve decided to tackle Bloodborne. This game will require me to become a machine. To numb myself and stare back into the gothic horror and say “I will beat you…. 3 full campaign runs over.”

Five Nights at Freddy’s… Why are you doing this to me Scott? All the FNAF 5 jumpscares, and now Five Nights at Freddy’s Sister Location is one of the scariest games! FNAF: Sister Location really switches up the gameplay from previous games. Going from relying on visual to audio. Your ears are your best friend in this game as you explore the dark past of Baby.

Dual releases were common on the early GameBoy handheld, from Pokemon to even Medabots (bonus points if you know), and by the end of GBC’s life cycle Nintendo aimed to release their own. Zelda Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages were born! Two game that connect and compliment each other, but a task I shan’t tackle alone. So to celebrate Zelda Month, the ever delicious PeanutButterGamer helps me COMPLETE these two Zelda games.

Dishonored was always a game I wanted to get back to. I hate a taste of it, now I ended up chugging it. What stands out to me about this game is how much options you have to fit your playstyle. The devs really took into account the way playtesters used mechanics in ways that weren’t exactly intended. This makes multiple playthroughs very fun with new experiences every time.

Yes, you heard me right. I’m a bit behind and today, on the release of Pokemon Sun and Moon, I am COMPLETING Gen 3. I love my Pokemon games but have to play them on order, so hit that play (and like button) and see the adventure that Prof. Alex sends me on!

Paper Mario has yet to have a game live up to Paper Mario 64, with mixed feedback from fans for following Paper Mario games. Even as Color Splash was announced it was judged pretty harshly. But with some innovation and new mechanics, this game just might surprise you.

I have been a big fan of the previous Spyro games, and I was curious to see how this third game rounded off the story. This time a bunny steals from dragons for a wizard to something something evil. Ah, classic game plotlines.

Chrono Trigger is a game that has been praised for decades. From its story, to its mechanics, to its gameplay; everything is top notch. But what makes Chrono Trigger universally one of the best games of all time? I dive in to discover the secret behind the game.

Life breathed into an old franchise. Yes, fans were pretty enthusiastic about the new direction of the game with familiar elements. Despite its platforming spree being derailed by Microsoft, Retro Studios came in and gave us our platforming star back!

Completing my way through Assassins Creed Brotherhood, I review what this Assassins Creed game in the Ezio Collection has to offer.

Starting off the first video of the year with The Last (of Us). First joke of the year done. *check* This was my first time tackling The Last of Us, and wow, I can’t really begin to describe the range, the depth, and the beauty that I have encountered in this game. It was almost a perfect playthrough, but then. THEN the trophies were hell. …Still can’t wait to play part 2.

A game that did not do too well in sales, but I was happy to see lots of appreciation for it when we played it on Super Beard Bros. 3D Dot Game Heroes is a stylized Zelda game that delivers on great gameplay and dazzles with colors. If you haven’t had the chance to try this game, you’re missing out!

Jirard tackles Resident Evil: Code Veronica on the Sony Playstation 4. The fourth major installment in the main Resident Evil series originally released on the Dreamcast, and was the first not to come to the Playstation 2. Does the transfer to the new generation hold up, or is it scary beyond all reason?

The first game of Disappointing Games month is: Sonic and the Secret Rings! A game that wasn’t supposed to exist in the first place, that utilized the motion control of the Wii, to produce a Sonic game that Sega delisted. Why? Let’s see what lies in store…

Today’s great game is SAW II and I really loved– okay I’m sorry I can’t do this. It’s Disappointing Games Month. AND a SAW game. We all know it’s going to be bad. But I didn’t expect this. Get ready for those twists on the “amazing” storytelling in this video ‘game.'

Now, I didn’t believe it myself when the people of the world cried out and said “Bioshock 2 was a bad game.” I just didn’t believe it, but then I grabbed its case, now I’m a believer. Through all those repetitive trials I faced, no doubt in my mind. And then the rest of that song plays. Long story short: too much Bioshock 1 in Bioshock 2.

For the finale of Disappointing Games Month, I review Ride to Hell: Retribution. Widely known as a worst game to come out during its time, this biker game aimed to be a Sons of Anarchy/GTA type of game. But no. No. What did Deep Silver do?! As the gameplay shows, this hot mess of a shooter game fails spectacularly. Upon the many glitches, bland characters, forced story, and terrible sound design, this Ride to Hell: Retribution review isn’t too forgiving. We also take a look at the the game COULD have been. And oh, what a game that could have been…
