Review Round-Up - January 2017

Dragon Ball Fusions proved that the series didn't just need to stick to the fighter genre to have a great game.

 The first month of 2017 didn't see a lot of brand-new games being reviewed, but it did see a good share of reviews in general-- seven in total. What better way to begin a new year than with a game that received the best grade possible on SuperPhillip Central with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D! Following that were two games that got the same grade of C+, MediEvil: Resurrection and Pac-Man World Rally.

A historical moment, though not a positive one, came next with Mini Golf Resort for the Nintendo 3DS receiving SuperPhillip Central's first "F" grade. We moved on from that blemish to brighter pastures with the excellent and overlooked Need for Speed: Nitro on Wii (B), the fun arcade kart racer Skylanders SuperChargers Racing (B-), and finally explored the Dragon Ball universe with Dragon Ball Fusions, which earned its B grade. Overall, a fun month of reviews here at SuperPhillip Central!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS) Review Redux - A+
MediEvil: Resurrection (PSP) - C+
Pac-Man World Rally (PS2, GCN, PSP, PC) - C+
Mini Golf Resort (3DS) - F
Need for Speed: Nitro (Wii) - B
Skylanders SuperChargers Racing (3DS) - B-
Dragon Ball Fusions (3DS) - B

Meanwhile, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D got the
review treatment yet again with the site's best grade possible.

Central City Census - January 2017

Sure, there's a new year upon us, but that also means it's a new month upon us as well! That's of significance because it's time to bring out both the Central City Census and the Review Round-Up! First, we'll check on the Central City Census and see the results from December 2016's Final Fantasy XV poll.

After ten years of planning, development, and production, Final Fantasy XV finally released! The Central City Census for December 2016 asked about whether you purchased the game, as well as asking if you're enjoying it, pending you bought it, of course.

There were 26 total votes in total (which isn't too bad considering I'm not the best at marketing the poll). The most popular choice was that yes, 8 people had bought the game and they were liking what they were playing. Meanwhile, we had 7 folks who were planning to purchase the game (perhaps as a Christmas gift for themselves?). An equal number of voters said they weren't planning to buy the game, while one lone soul bought the game but unfortunately isn't caring for it all that much. Lastly, 3 voters aren't certain whether Final Fantasy XV will be a part of their collections any time soon.

With the results for last month's Central City Census examined fully, let's check out what the Census has to ask this month, the first of 2017!

The holiday season is over. Did you get a good haul? Maybe you got some new hardware, whether a new PC, a new smartphone or tablet, a new home console, or a new handheld! The Central City Census for January 2017 asks if you got any new hardware over the holidays!
