Quoted from Chambahz:Sell Simpsons and Xmen for a TWD and you can retire from the hobby!
Ha, actually Simpsons is one of my favorite games ever. I didn't really like it until I read the rules and got it in my house, but overall it's one of my top5. Also XMLE is great. I won't say it's better or worse than TWD as I've not played that much. But XM (IMO) has gotten a bad rap and overall it is a very good package overall. I think it could still use a good code update.
I agree XMen (now finally) is very solid, even if Lyman did not code it. It has some rules that could be better, and had lots of potential for scoring strategies that were not implemented. (For example I think there should have been some scoring multiplier for having certain unique teams of X-Men completed, rather than every 3 heroes completed awards Nightcrawler)
Its fundamental ruleset is different than the strategy in a lot of games which is why I like it. Specifically I like having to play more heroes up front to earn more points in the main Magento multiball, and I enjoy the 2 paths to different wizard modes, both of which are challenging to finish.
Oh, and to stay on topic, Metallica is my favorite Borg/Lyman game. I wish Iron Man was more Lyman, but I love it anyway.
