    Some may consider calling Mean Bean Machine a masterpiece an overreaction to this flawless version of Puyo Puyo. Certainly, it is a difficultSome may consider calling Mean Bean Machine a masterpiece an overreaction to this flawless version of Puyo Puyo. Certainly, it is a difficult game, but it is the dark souls equivalent in the tetris genre and therefore the broken controllers, broken relationships and broken voices can only add to the appeal.10/10 Full Review »

In this game players can watch past events as they shape the future of the series. For example players will be taking control of a new character and will watch the rise of Big Boss and how he became the legend. The game play is also greatly improved making it much more flexible and gives players more variety as they can carry a set of equipment and weapons of their own chosing This game does not cease to be interesting at any point. The 3rd installment in the Metal Gear Solid series is nothing to shy away from, instead try to go and buy it. Heres the jist of it. The campaign is very engaging and informative that will make you teary at points. Like Hideo Kojima wants, the gamer will be placed this time in Big Boss's body, the real Snake. The new system involving survival is original and adds on the Metal Gear Solid's array of well crafted ideals placed in a game. Overall, the game is magnificent and nothing short of greatness Full Review »

    Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is the localized version of Puyo Puyo. If you want to play Puyo Puyo's Mega Drive release in the modern age,Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is the localized version of Puyo Puyo. If you want to play Puyo Puyo's Mega Drive release in the modern age, the most legal solution is to play this through Sega's Mega Drive Classics release. If you want to play Puyo Puyo in specific, there's a workshop mod that changes it into Puyo Puyo.

    The gameplay is easy to understand, and similar to Tetris or Columns. But like those games, it allows a deep understanding of underlying mechanics and has a very high skill ceiling. Unfortunately, the games main 'story' is very short, and can be completed within a few hours. Luckily, it has an 'exercise' mode which allows you to play various difficulties like the 'marathon' mode in Tetris.

    Personally, I had a great time playing through this! The graphics are pretty good for the time, and console, and obviously, being a puzzle game, the plot is worthless.
