Golden Axe


This is yet another game Keith and I tried out last weekend. We tore right through a mode called "beginner" only to learn that it was just three stages long out of six total. Now, normally I wouldn't give a shit, and I'd call that game beaten and move on to the next one. Except, shockingly, Golden Axe was pretty fun! You play as a ripped barbarian or an axe-wielding dwarf running around fucking up soldiers and skeletons and knights and such. You can even attack these little elves running around with sacks full of meat and potions in order to get the meat and potions. Hell, you can even ride on fire-breathign dinosaurs. This was yet another side-scrolling beat-em-up, but it was easily my favorite one yet. And things are looking up, with two more Golden Axe games yet to come.
