In honor of the coming game's release (I am STOKED), I thought back to all the older GB games, good and bad. What was your favorite? Your least favorite? Why?
I always loved the Real Ghostbusters arcade game and the Genesis game.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors. It is probably the true grand-daddy of today's horror games. It did teach that zombies go well with humor (and Super Soakers)
The other day I was revisiting the original Halo, exterminating Covenant at Legendary difficulty. Yes, it was often hard to blow through some corridors and enemy fortifications, but it wasn't impossibly so. This got me to thinking, like the subtitle, has the Halo series's combat really evolved? Which Halo title do you think is the most difficult on Legendary mode?
It isn't that I'm angry because they have a different opinion, it is that they looked at it from a present standpoint, not from 10 years ago. They loved the game when it came out, but that doesn't mean they should tease it now.
I was just flipping through the latest Game Informer when I happened upon an article that took classic games and ripped them to shreds, destroying memories and opinions of the magazine. I soon found Goldeneye among the titles and begrudgingly dove in. Needless to say, it was an absolute slaughter. They said no one played it since it was released, the graphics are like a smudgey shade of grey laid over shapes, and just generally that the game is absolute rubbish. But they forgot one key statement, they claimed that it is rubbish, not was. They took the games in the context of 2008 and naturally found flaws. I recommend to all Goldeneye fans that they read this article if possible.
One of the greatest series of games is the James Bond series. Sure, there were a few stinkers in there (the Genesis game, Rogue Agent, etc.), but what was your favorite? If at all possible, try to pick one other than Goldeneye, just for variety's sake. You can also choose your least favorite and explain your reasoning.
In video game-dom, we always jump into the experience head-first. But we rarely take the time to hide, listen closely, and hear the small-talk of the enemies we see throughout. In many games this is hilarious! Halo featured Marines yelling "YOU KILLED HIM, MAN!!!!" James Bond games brought up the comraderie and various signals to others that you have arrived. MOH games have Japanese, German, etc. phrases just before you confront the enemies.
What is your favorite little conversation in video games?
