Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest is now for sale!
Our first review (in Nintendo Power, so not online) caught on to our schemes: Given the popularity of the recent Castlevania handheld titles, it's surprising that more developers don't incorporate the best elements of that series into their own games. Fortunately, the folks behind Pirates of the Caribbean are paying attention.
We got a 7.5 out of 10! Not too shabby considering the licensed-game bias.
I'm pretty proud of the AI work I did on that one. I spent a tremendous amount of time playing side scroller games (nearly every Castlevania I could get my hands on, Metal Slug, Shaman King (!), weird Donkey Kong iterations, among others) as research. I know, life is tough!
On a side note, I just tried to log into www.gamerankings.com using bugmenot, and my IP got banned! You'd think they could have just denied a login.
