First off, if you're wondering why I stopped playing Etrian Odyssey II, I have one word for you: "darksoar". These FOEs (minibosses) can fly over walls and target you directly. They also like to "dust" your party, which will annihilate half your team. Tis not easy.

So I decided to plug in Clubhous Games. I have played every game on it, or at least all from Stamp Mode (their "adventure" mode ). It's not been all too bad. I'm glad I got it for "free" though. There are some games that I could see playing a lot of, but that's only about 20% of the games there. The good news is that only 20% are truly atrocious (mainly ones that are Japanese-based which still use Japanese characters to play (which of course I don't feel like memorizing just to play). Of those Koi Koi is the most... interesting. I won without a clue how to play. Ah well, at least they have a form of Stratego on there...

Initial impressions: 7.5/10. It really deserves lower, but I knew this was a collection from the outset, so there would be hits & misses. BTW, there ARE unlockables albeit minor...
