TOP 5 GAMES
All apologies for not being in class on Monday, and because of that, I will put my top 5 games of all time in my blog post for the week.
In no specific order:
1) Resident Evil 4 (GC/Wii)- So good I bought it twice. Graphically amazing for a last gen game. Totally revolutionized the Survival Horror genre with its gameplay. The addition of interactive cut-scenes is one that should be utilized more often. The Wii controls are fantastic.
2) Metal Gear Solid Series (PS/PS2)- Stealth/action at its best. However, it was the compelling story that is missing from most games that makes this on my top list. Memorable boss battles, characters that have depth and the game feels like a movie. Simply amazing.
3) Halo Series (Xbox/Xbox 360)- Revolutionized console multiplayer. I never owned an Xbox but have probably played Halo more than any other game due to 8 player system link.
4) Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out (NES)- If you have never played this, then you have missed out on one of the greatest sports titles of all time. Amazing characters (Soda Popinski being my fav), a lovable underdog (LITTLE MAC!!!) and the Dream Fight with Tyson. If you are short on nerves, you have no chance against the Virtual biter.
5) Final Fantasy VIII (PS)- Most FF fans liked this one least. However, it was my first ever RPG other than Pokemon. I loved it. Great characters, simple, yet fun battle system, and oh so many side quests. I simply love this game to death, especially for it opening my eyes to the world of RPGs.
