A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Crash Man

ScrewAttack’s “Terrible Thursday” Presents Mega Man X7
Recently, we received an interesting e-mail* which posed a question: "X7 seems to be universally panned as an awful game. I certainly don't think it's bad, at worst okay. I thought X6 deserved that title the most due to obvious complications in its design. But that's...

Get Me Off the Moon: Support Morishita Reika’s Music to Support Mega Man Legends 3

Do You Want a Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages?

A Critical Look at Mega Man Stages: Afterword
