A Winner Is You (2009)

[The Sports Guy]

This weekend, I just started and finished The Legend of Zelda.

Yes, I used a walkthrough.

That game is amazing. Never had beaten it before. Now once I get done catalogging my whole collection I am going to start on #2. Hopefully I will be able to play every game on a portable, as I want to play the two they released for original game boy too.

Oh, I beat Superman Returns for Xbox 360 over break. Talk about movie game #13904810398, this game is so pointless and repetitive, it bored me to tears, but you get a quick 1000 gamer points and it was only 5.99 at gamestop so I added it to my collection.

Those early NES games (Zelda and Metroid specifically), I can't imagine how gamers were able to complete them without guides. Zelda is the better game IMO, but both games stonewall you with objectives like "shoot/bomb random block to proceed."

How the hell would I have ever thought to do that??

Oh, and if you thought Superman Returns was bad, give King Kong a whirl. I got it for the exact same reasons you did, and it was the least satisfying 1000 points I ever earned.

#4: Saints Row 2 (360)

I just completed my first game of 2009, and that game is "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem" for the Nintendo Gamecube.

It's the best horror themed game that I have ever played.

1) Metal Gear Solid (Playstation 1)


Fantastic Game, I'd never played it before. Spent about 2 hours a night for 1 week getting to the final boss, which I then found to be RIDICULOUSLY BIASED... So I left it for 2 weeks... Finally picked it upagain and finished it tonight. Good outro video.

Personally, I think that the Original Metal Gear Solid is the best in the series. I'm also quite find of the GameCube remake as well.

I really didn't know much about MGS before I picked up and played it, all I knew was that it was considered one of the best games on the platform and it went for £££.

I took a look at the GC remake and thought: "whoa! I know that place! But it didn't look that good when I saw it!", the PS1 graphics give MGS a certain cartoonish charm. I don't own a playstation two (well, I bought one about 8 years ago and sold it after 3 days) so I don't think I'll be playing any of the sequels. In my experience originals are always best (see: Jurassic Park, Back to the Future), I will watch some Youtube vids to see what happened to Snake though.

The game is Super Raiden for the PC Engine CD. I was lucky/persistent enough to loop it and get to the 10th stage a second time.

This port is cool, besides the complete absence of parallax, and the CD music is a lot welcome. The checkpoint system gets on my nerves - but anyway, that's how things were mostly done at that time!

I gotta try playing the MD version again to see how it compares in difficulty. My memory tells me the MD port is a lot harder, at least in the beginning of the game.

Eh, personally I don't think your missing all that much. I'm playing through Metal Gear Solid 3 right now, and it's a pretty good game, but I'm not to fond of how they departed from the classic style of gameplay.

Definitely though, the original Metal Gear Solid is the best out of all of them that I've played.

[Metal_Sonic]

I passed Gears of War 2 this week. Much better than the first IMO.

[AD2101]

Well not missing much with MGS3 anyways. If you ever do pick up a PS2, be sure to play Sons of Liberty, its the best one in the series IMO. The story line is pretty dumbed down in 3, and like 16-bit I don't really dig how they changed up the gameplay.

My worst fear concerning this game was that the songs sucked. I'm not such an Aerosmith fan. Luckily I was wrong, and was very pleased by the set list.

This is however easier than GH III, for instance. I beat it on HARD with several 5 star achievements, and I think I'm finally ready to get back to the older games and see how my pull-offs turn out this time...

[AD2101]

Woa? Someone who actually enjoyed GH: Aerosmith? damn. I always liked GH II the best even though the tracks were covers but I just think it had the most solid tracklist, still need to try the original one though.
