Or when you miss your click to give your builder more bricks, and he walks right off the end of the bridge and dies.

My favorite part of the original lemmings is how, when a bunch of lemmings were walking in a line close together, all the sprites would use the same feet. Its hard to describe, but if you've played the game, you know what I'm talking about. This was endlessly amusing to me and my brothers.

Or when everything was going to plan, the end was in sight….and then you ran out of builders 4 pixels short of the goal.

You are blowing my mind. I never knew 2 player was an option!

Those ones were kinda fun in that they gave you this fun new perspective on a level that previously seemed easy. That said, I feel ya. Those later levels were absolutely brutal.

These games are really meaningful for me. My dad used to be a gamer in the 80s and 90s, before games got too complicated for him. Lemmings was ine of his favorites, and when I was 6, 7 years old I used to watch him play for hours. Good times…

The only thing that holds You Only Live Twice out of the upper echelon for me is the yellowface disguise they give Connery. But other than that…I mean, how do you top a lair hidden inside a volcano? You can't!

True, but I'll defend the Red Alert live action cutscenes. They're just so much fun.

Plus unlike Cage he had actual movie-star good looks. It is baffling how much of an afterthought he's become.

Well, I have a soft spot for the cutscenes in the Red Alert series, especially from Red Alert 2 and beyond when they really embraced the total tongue-in-cheek craziness of the premise.

The only thing Biehn has ever been bad in is the cutscenes for Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun. But in fairness to him, that's easily the worst Command and Conquer game, so he didn't have much to work with.

The best thing about Predator is that it stars 2 future governors. I wonder what people would have said in 1987 if you'd time traveled back there and told them that.

Yes! It's actually pretty good.

Fair enough! I was trying not to oversell things, but you're right. Biehn kills it in this movie.

Fair enough, I'm not disputing Tom's desire to talk about other movies. I'm just saying that by any reasonable standard of what an action movie is, the Star Wars movies count.

It probably is, but I'll always have a place in my heart for Goldeneye.

Good read, and dead-on accurate.

Pretty good list. I would add Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back to it, because it's silly to not call them action movies. They aren't ONLY action movies, but come on. Tom only disqualified them from this series because he wanted to talk about other movies.

I know! He doesn't get to have the cool hero's arc like Linda Hamilton, and he's not the cool, invincible robot like Arnold, and yet he still manages to do a great job. I love that scene with him in the future where he looks at that picture of Sarah, and then tries desperately to get a bit of sleep.

No mention of Michael Biehn in this review? The guy had the thankless job of trying to share the screen with Ah-nold, but he did a surprisingly good job.
