As I mentioned last time, I'm going to speak on Super C and Splatterhouse 2. But before I do so I'd like to talk about a game that's been neglected. That game would be Conan.
CONAN
I actually beat the game 10 days ago, but for whatever reason forgot to say anything about it. When I last said that I was near the end of the game, I didn't realize that I was at the final boss and all I had to do was win that battle. Just as @Gigastormz and @usagi704 told me, the end boss battle was frustrating. His cheapness was pretty much null and void, however, by the several checkpoints from within the battle itself.
Overall Conan it worth your time if you've played the demo and were still interested in the full game ever so slightly. 3/5
SUPER C
Super C is up next and I was only playing it to get another game finished for the year. It unfortunately became an amazingly frustrating experience. More so than fighting the final boss in Conan. How so? Because it was on the small DS screen via Contra 4. Those tiny white dots for bullets can easily be lost track of especially when the game's display is set to fit the screen.
I know Super C inside and out and if I have trouble on the DS screen I can't imagine the problems that it'll give those that don't know the game as well. A scary thought for sure.
SPLATTERHOUSE 2
I like Splatterhouse 2 for the same reason that I enjoy its prequel and Ninja Gaiden on the NES. It's a game that's really difficult, but becomes easy as you play and figure out what, where, and when to do what needs to be done to progress.
A good example of this is the first game's stage 1 boss. If you just stand in the right-side corner of the room, you don't have to move. Just attack and you'll pass it.
UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE
After I found all of the treasures in Uncharted I wondered what else I could do with the game besides getting a few more trophies. I decided to try and speed run the game. And speed run it I did. The total run time came to 3 hours and 56 minutes as you can see below.
A SURPRISE FIND
Before yesterday I didn't know that a port of Double Dragon was ever available for the Genesis. As it turns out not only is there one, but it's probably the most accurate to the arcade game. Whether that's a good thing or not is for you to decide.
I also found two Disney games, QuackShot and World of Illusion, and Resident Evil: Director's Cut with a Resident Evil 2 demo disc.

Wow. It looks like you did well on your speed run. 
I'll have to try that some day with my Sonic games. 
I agree with you on Super C when playing it on the DS. It's really frustrating when you're moving, and you don't realize that a bullet is coming at you until it's too late.

Nice run of the game, and nice finds!

Quackshot looks interesting.

@lightwarrior179: Other than two extra difficulty levels of beginner and arranged there's nothing else. It's fine that way since the best part of the game has always been the experience of playing it.

You can beat Uncharted in 4 hours? I'm not the biggest fan of speed-running myself. I kind of prefer to take things slow even if it is a replay. Still, I know for a fact that if you skip all the cutscenes in MGS2 (I can't speak for the other games in the series) that there's literally 4 hours of actual gameplay in there. No joke.

Wow 4 hour speed run for Uncharted is quite a feat! What difficulty were you playing it on?

@NeonNinja: I don't usually speed run the games I play. If I did you'd be seeing more blogs about them that's for sure. Other games I have done speed runs of that come to mind are Contra, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.
@herviross_2: It was on Easy. The only difference was enemies took more hits, the player can take less, and enemies flank much sooner on harder difficulties.

What are the extras in RE Director's Cut besides the RE2 demo disc you mentioned?
