since the controls for that game don't allow you to dash and jump simultaneously. What? I never got around to playing the PSP one but I beat the holy hell out of the original X. Wow, way to make me not want to ever ever play the PSP one. Brawl FC -- 4425-1133-2606 || Pearl FC -- 4682-8533-6276 ~Ç~ Sonic! ^.^ |

You should try the Master System version of Ghouls 'N Ghosts, it gives
the game a pseudo-RPG feel in that when you open a chest a doorway
comes up and you can choose between three of either armor, weapons,
boots, or helmuts. Armor affects your health, meaning you can take a
hit and keep your armor on; Boots increase your speed, and helmuts give
you spells which you can use at any time. There are four different
levels of each item, besides weapons, that increase in strength,
silver, then green, red, and finally gold. It makes the game a lot
easier, which is good for people that have trouble. --- http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4981/peachmejz1.jpg (>ò_ó)>---{[=(>x_x)> |

What? I never got around to playing the PSP one but I beat the holy
hell out of the original X. Wow, way to make me not want to ever ever
play the PSP one. Well, you still can do dash jumps of course, but it doesn't let you press the buttons simultaneously. You have to give the jump button a slight delay behind the dash button. It's only a microsecond depending on how accustomed you become to it, but being a MMX speedster, it absolutely sucks. My manueverability was basically cut in half and boss fights became wayyy more cumbersome than they should have been. I mean, it's not that big of a deal if you're just a casual X player, but I noticed it right off the bat. --- Proud Supporter of Zero |

PSP version was my only experience with MMX. (as I said in the writeup)
Walking up ladders is slow, but sure isn't game-breaking for me - if
you're not used to being able to scale walls, it's not something you
even notice to be a negative. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

126. New Super Mario Bros. (DS) What a stupid name. I can't wait to talk about this in ten years. And I can't wait until the inevitable New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the DS2 that will be announced at E3. NSMB could have been amazing if they had gone with the SMB3/World model instead of Mario 1. Why would you not have a flying ability a la raccoon/cape? On top of that, the powerups in this are awful, with the shell being the only powerup that I go out of my way to avoid. Just a terrible set of powerups. The wall jumping and stuff was cool, and I liked the level design towards the end a bunch, but damn, this could have been so much more. Certain Mario games are timeless for me because I can replay them endlessly - I never got an urge to play this after beating it at a friend's house in a day. 125. Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits (PS2) "Hilarious" is the only word I can think of to describe this game. It's packed full of unintentional comedy, to the point where I couldn't put it down. The voice acting is so bad, it's good. The characters are so idiotic that you have to love them. And it has the best character of all time, Bebedora. http://www.flyingomelette.com/arc4/arc4bebedora.html What a ridiculous game. It's stupidly fun though, excepting the ridiculous last boss, one that I got obliterated by and never even turned the game on again. Arc the Lad really needs to work on these super duper ridiculous last bosses, man. 124. Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) I recognize this game as the ultimate 2d platformer with its great themed worlds, awesome powerups (aww yeah hammer bros suit), and a few exceptional levels, but for some reason I just don't enjoy it. I think I played it out as a kid. I played this game to death and now I just never have any interest in playing it. It is, in a word, boring. Not sure why. So instead of talking about how amazing this game is, I'll tell a story: when I was 15 or so, my friend and I were playing Mario 3 withour warping. We got to level 5, the level before the Kuribo's Shoe level. It was my turn and I wanted to do it, so I "accidentally" died. My friend did the same thing, so I died again. He said, "I see what you're doing here, and I'm not letting you play the shoe level." He challenged me in the Mario Bros. vs. mode and I died at warp speed so he would have to play again, then he did it again and I died too fast for him again. Then he ran off the level at full speed. I said, "You know, I have more guys than you." My friend pulled the game out of the system, told me to go screw myself and threw the game. We never played Mario 3 again. God bless The Shoe. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

what didn't you like about it? I see a lot of hate for it, but I don't
see it as being all that much different outside of the powerups. I've
seen people complain about it being too easy, but then call it World
the best game of all time, so I don't get it. seems like nostalgia is
the only thing setting the old ones apart in a lot of ways. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

123. God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP) Kind of a joke of a game - five hours long, two and a half bosses, control has issues due to the lack of analog sticks, really easy until the last boss which is frustratingly annoying, etc. But for a handheld game, it's got console-level production values - it looks and feels just like a regular God of War game. Too bad there's only half a game there when all is said and done. 122. Double Dragon 2 (NES) The Cyclone Kick. The Knee. These two hard-to-pull-off moves -- I'm still not exactly sure how to do the knee without a turbo controller -- added a fun factor that the original Double Dragon lacked. DD2's is just a lot more fun, and this is probably the best beat-em-up game on the NES. 121. Arc the Lad 2 (PS1) I had a ball with this game. I probably dropped 50 hours on this game, a continuation of the way-too-short original where you meet up with the same characters aways in and, amazingly, they keep their same levels. (You can -- and will -- go over level 99 in this game, too. Pretty cool.) An optional mission system and the ability to recruit monsters made for a complete game where there's a lot to do. Like Twilight of the Spirits, this game has a ludicrously overpowered last boss -- the second to last boss has like 800 HP and the last one has 9999, what what -- but I was actually able to beat this one after a few tries. That was one of the more satisfying victories I've had in an RPG, and satisfying is probably the word I'd use to describe this obscure SRPG. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

a lot of it was hype. i was expecting a lot more than i got. none of
the levels really impressed me or seemed seamless, and the control
seemed sloppier than they could have made it. some of it's nostalgia
too, but i just didn't find NSMB to be very fun. ND |

120. Tales of the Abyss (PS2) I have a lot of bad to say about this game, so I'll start with the good: like other Tales games, this game is all about the battle system. Free Run or whatever makes it better than Symphonia battle-wise, and really, that's the entire reason you want to play a Tales game. I've always preferred the 2d Tales battle systems, but this is the best 3d one and I don't think you can really argue that. Now then. Bad load times? check. Bad characters? check, though this has always been true in Tales games. In fact, it's so bad that people think Jade Curtiss is a good character because he sits there making fun of all the characters for the entire game. Yikes. To make things worse, Abyss thinks it has a good story - it's a major focus of the game, along with a neverending supply of meaningless jargon that seems more suited for a game like Xenosaga than something like Tales. On top of that, there's the big complaint: town-hopping, where you run from town to town trigger pointing for hours at a time instead of getting to actually play the game. It reuses locations, it's way too long and drags, and I just find it a lot easier to make fun of this game because all the miscellaneous crap take away from the fun battle system, which is the whole reason I like playing Tales games. 119. Mortal Kombat 3 (Arcade) A pretty drastic change from the wildly successful MK2. Sub-Zero without a mask? Completely different gameplay? Dropping many of the popular characters (what's up Kitana) from MK2? The main change in MK3 is the whole "dial-a-combo" thing, where every character has one powerful combo if you can land it. This leads to characters with immobilizing attacks like Sub's freeze or Cyrax's net to be overpowered. But MK was never really about balance or about pure fighting, it's more about mindless violence and entertainment, and MK3 pretty much delivered on that front despite the weird dial-a-combos. 118. Castlevania 3 (NES) Loved this game. It's tough, but it's fun and satisfying when you finally pass a level. The addition of different characters was pretty cool, though switching between them took entirely too long. Too bad that magician dude was pretty much useless. Well, actually, maybe s/he wasn't, they just didn't have the ability to get to hard-to-reach areas like Grant and Alucard, so I never used them. Anyway, C3 was pretty much the pinnacle of the level-based Castlevanias. I could never get into C4. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

I actually found Castlevania 3 game easiest to beat with Sypha. Her
spell attacks had better range than the other characters, and the ice
spell came in handy during the water area close to the end. --- Sushi, Kamikaze, Fujiyama, Nippon-Ichi... "you have to cut weiner holes in all of your hats, sorry" -gotspork |

117. Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (NES) I'll be honest: I sometimes have a hard time telling these games apart. NG2 gave you the ability to climb walls instead of having to make tricky walljumps, but beyond that, you could relabel the games and I probably wouldn't notice. So I just group them together. When I feel like suffering, I just throw a random NG game on. Ninja Gaiden is known for two things, its awesome-at-the-time cinematic cutscenes between acts and its brutally unforgiving difficulty. The latter is what most people know it for - Ninja Gaiden combines annoying enemies with absolutely cruel timing -- like throwing enemies at you right in the middle of a jump, making you fall to your death unless you know it's coming -- and an annoying bit where, if you backtrack, the enemies will reappear on the screen infinitely. You can't step back and deal with them - instead, you have to just suffer and keep moving. Ninja Gaiden is a fun game that will wear on you until you either inevitable give up or decide you're going to suffer the whole way through. I usually do the former. 116. Tales of Legendia (PS2) oh man, gon' have to defend this one I fully accept that this game is terrible. This is one of those games that you show youtube videos and laugh about. This is one of those games you describe in detail to try and explain just how bad it is. It's terrible - the characters are so miserable, the only interaction for ~30 hours is just all of them making fun of each other, the voice acting is HIDEOUS, the battle system is a step back from Symphonia... But, for some reason, I find a silver lining in this game. Most recent Tales games have a game-breaking flaw - Abyss with its town-hopping and overabundance of story, Symphonia with its incredibly bad dungeons - but Legendia doesn't pull any of that on you. The story is awful, but Tales games always have awful story so it doesn't bother me too much that it's even worse than usual. A lot of people complain about Legendia's battle system as a step back, but I prefer the 2d battle systems. I guess when Symphonia is your first Tales game you come to expect the 3d thing, but I bought this game simply because I had heard it was a throwback to older games. And there's a section of the game about 15-20 hours in where there's a cool atmosphere going on with lots of fun battles and dungeons. I enjoyed that part a lot. Legendia certainly isn't the best game around, but not the worst either. 115. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (PS2) Dungeon crawling, a crazy high encounter rate, unforgiving difficulty -- yeah, Nocturne is pretty old-school. It's like playing a dark Dragon Quest game in 3d. Nocturne's gameplay is fast and addicting, and the whole monster catching/creating thing is a lot of fun, even if it is a bit too complex at times. That brutal encounter rate and unforgiving difficulty -- seriously, why make it game over if your main dude dies and then give enemies loads of instant death attacks? -- stops me from really loving it though. I'm cool with difficulty as long as it doesn't annoy me. Nocturne's is fun 80% of the time, but then that 20% is like arghhhhh and seriously what the hell is up with that Dante cameo I mean what --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

114. Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES) I love a lot of things about this game. I love the different characters -- Toad > Luigi > Princess > Mario, by the way -- that give the game several different ways to tackle levels. I like the little coin slot machine thing. I like most of the bosses, a lot more than the other boring Mario bosses anyway. I like the hidden mushrooms and such. It's just a damn fun game. 113. Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (DS) I've never played Elite Beat Agents, so OUUUUUUENNNNNDANNNNNN will have to do. Ouendan is a damn fun game that's completely zany and over the top and ridiculous. The dumb scenes are stupidly entertaining, and the gameplay itself is addicting. The only problem I have with this game is that it hurts my hands if I play it too long -- and "too long" for me is like 20 minutes sometimes. Spinners kill my hands in particular. Screw them. I think being left-handed magnifies this problem (along with my hand getting in the way), but I may just be searching for an excuse, not being right-handed and all. 112. Final Fantasy 12 (PS2) hmm.. where to start. I find FF12 addicting. I love chaining things, it brings me back to my old days of grinding in old RPGs and the rewards are pretty damn cool. I can play this game for hours at a time just wandering around killing things - it's so mindless, but yet I find it kinda entertaining. Gambits are a damn cool idea, and I wish more (better) games had them. Being able to completely control AI is cool as hell. I wish you could control what HP characters heal at in other games -- SMT games, Tales games, etc. The downside to FF12 is pretty much everything else. Characters are so boring outside of Balthier, who feels like he's written to steal the show at the expense of everyone else in the game. The plot feels like it's huge and important, but nothing ever really happens and I can't really remember a single scene. Areas in this game are HUGE, which is sorta cool, but dungeons are endless, huge open spaces that are tedious to traverse. Then there's the battle system, which is, for the most part, boring. I can't explain why FF12 feels boring when you're just navigating menus in other turn-based RPGs, but it is. Oh god, it is. It's made even worse by the fact that I like to chain, which put me about 15 levels above the game unintentionally. That made the battle system nothing more than setting up gambits, walking up to something and waiting for it to die, repeat ad nauseam. It's strangely addicting in the way that MMOs are addicting, but... yeah. Lotta complaints about this game. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

111. Metroid Prime (Gamecube) Metroid Prime is amazing. I think it's the most atmospheric game I've ever played - there's a feeling of isolation that you can just feel every time you play. I find it absolutely amazing for that reason. The music is great, the exploration is great, it's all just so immersive. I'm also terrible at it. I have some perception issues that really screw with me -- it carries over to real life -- and Metroid Prime reminds me every time I play it. I am incredibly disoriented every time I play it. I think I failed the opening escape about four times, and that was just the start of it. I generally need someone to watch me and tell me where to go because I just get so lost in a first person game. I can barely handle it, but then when they throw different visors at you I am screwed. I don't think I've even been halfway through this game, but I always enjoy going back and playing the first half until it gets to be too much for me. I really love this game despite being so intensely bad at it. 110. Final Fantasy 5 (SNES) In some ways, I really like this game. Job system is cool, of course. It's kind of a throwback to the NES days with having just four characters, characters that are pretty depthless and known more for what skills they've learned than their personalities. I really like the beginning of this game, the first "world" or so because there's lots to learn and it's just a fun time. I throw this on every three or so years even though I don't consider it one of my favourite games, because it's just something you can pick up and play. My main problem with it is that it's so slow. Battles seem tedious and more importantly, you level skills so damn slowly. There's also not a lot of classes worth using, or so it seems to a relative amateur like me. There's a certain point where I just run out of things to learn unless I want to sit in a class for hours to learn the last skill, and that's just boring. I also tend to get lost halfway through the second world and just lose interest because the slow levelling / battle system isn't keeping me hooked. 109. Bionic Commando (NES) Oh man, when I saw that "god damn" at the end of Bionic Commando as a kid, I freaked out. I had never seen something like that before! I called my brother and showed him, and we both reacted as if we found our dad's porn stash or something. Good times. Bionic Commando's bionic arm is so much damn fun to play with. I used to be a machine with that thing, flying all around levels at warp speed. The beginning can be a little tough since you'll die in one hit, but once you get some life this game is a pretty simple, fun game. I cannot *wait* for Rearmed, which is out next week if it doesn't get delayed. That game looks absolutely amazing. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

108. Marble Blast Ultra (XBLA) Marble Madness in 3d! There's something like 60 levels, a jump button and a boost button, along with all sorts of usable items like helicopters or super jumps. Pretty damn fun game, though it gets freaking stupid later on. It's a fun game to play when the levels are simple and fast; when they get ridiculously convoluted and painful, it's more of a test of survival than anything, and who the hell wants to play a marble madness platformer i mean seriously 107. Minesweeper (PC) oh god i love this game http://transience.paragonsigma.com/screens/550.jpg I was gonna do 600, but I got distracted. The worst thing about switching to laptops is that I no longer use a mouse, and Minesweeper is stupid with a touchpad. So I never play this addicting as hell game anymore. 106. Super Dodge Ball (NES) So much fun. Sam is the best character ever. Why the hell is this game so damn rare? It's the only NES game I don't own that I want. I'd love to see a multiplayer, XBLA-esque game like this. Too bad they'd add super moves and all sorts of other crap. I love playing through this and crushing USSR.

time to kick it old school 105. M.U.L.E. (NES) This game freaks people out. What the hell is it? It looks so freaking weird to the uninitiated - but it's actually not that strange, it's just got a freaky style to it that messes people up at first. MULE is nothing more than a simple little stock market game, where you buy low and sell high. It's fun as hell, has a freaking awesome little chiptune theme and is something my old roommate and I used to play all the damn time before we broke up. We were hardcore about this stupid game. It's apparently influential and all that - the first "tycoon" game - but who the hell cares about tycoon games I mean really 104. Galaga (Arcade) Anytime I see a Galaga machine, I *have* to play it. I'm not the greatest at it, but I can go for a while on one quarter, often to my friends' frustration as they sit there waiting for me to lose, or as I end up late for whatever movie I came to see, or as other people sit there wondering how long I'm going to take before they can play. What a fun game that I would never play consciously, but if I passed by it on the street I would absolutely drop a quarter in. 103. Golden Axe (Genesis) My favourite beat-em-up (I think - never really thought about it). Yeah, the dwarf dude is totally overpowered, but who cares? I have a ball playing this, and I loved "The Duel", the optional mode that served as a sort of boss rush. This is probably the only Genesis game that I genuinely miss playing (not that I've played a whole lot). I think it's on the VC, I should grab that sometime. --- http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7019/blahru1.png been thinkin' about ye... |

God, I loved Super Dodge ball as a kid. Sadly, I no longer have my copy ;_; Sam was a badass though. --- ~=Please insert liquor=~ http://www.futurama-madhouse.com.ar/fanart/kenneth/bender_auron.jpg |

102. Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2) For its time, Disgaea was amazing. Huge numbers! Combo attacks! Throwing! Awesome maps for levelling! Lots of things exploding at once! Disgaea does a ton of things that make you say "whoa, that's awesome." It also does a bunch of things that make you cringe - and I'm not just talking about the story, which is disasterrific, but rather how obsessively grind-y the game is. There's not a lot of strategy to Disgaea 1, and there's a lot of things to complain about gameplay-wise. Back attacks don't work like they should, healers have a hell of a time levelling since you need to kill in order to get any kind of exp, and probably some other things that I don't recall offhand. It's kinda been rendered obsolete by Disgaea 2's far superior gameplay, but the original does have a lot more charm to it. Even if it does have nin nin nin ima ninja!!! nin nin nin XD kill it 101. Big Brain Academy (DS) Educational? Sure, I guess, but I get a kick out of these minigames. I like seeing how fast I can add for whatever reason. I like seeing how good I am at recognizing silhouettes of random things. I like that weird scale minigame. I like trying to set high scores and then try to get a huge brain score (which is more luck than skill, since some games are harder than others, but whatever). I don't really feel smarter while playing this thing, I just like the games. They're fun. 100. Vagrant Story (PS1) Vagrant Story's presentation and style are unmatched on the PS1. Best opening ever? Probably not, but for its time it absolutely was. Vagrant Story's cinematics are top-notch, and something that I wish Square did more of on consoles today. If they would, y'know, actually make new games. The downside to Vagrant Story - and it's a huge one - is the damn gameplay and weapons system. The whole turn-based attack system slows battles to a crawl. The idea of your risk going up makes it worse - that whole system should never have existed. And the weapons system is something I still don't understand. I made an awesome weapon by accident and stuck with it for the end of the game. I loved that thing. VS is a game I like playing on new game plus because I don't have to deal with that whole weapons system. If it was more traditional in that sense, I would have probably loved this game - as it is, it's a huge burden to a game that has so many huge positives. and whoever created the snowfly forest will be the first one against the wall when the revolution comes --- xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy |

Have you played any of the Source Engine games? I know MP messes with a
lot of people, but seemingly the Source games are worse.... Who is better: Sam or Bebedora? Make your choice now! Brawl FC -- 4425-1133-2606 || Pearl FC -- 4682-8533-6276 ~Ç~ Sonic! ^.^ |

oh, and no - I tend to simply avoid 3d games because they mess with me,
but Metroid and I have quite the love affair so I kind of feel
obligated to play it. --- xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy yzzyx xyzzy |

get ready 220. Keith Courage in Alpha Zones (TG16) Too bad you never played Bonk - a fine little platformer for its time. Keith Courage had those big bosses, but that's about it. 219. Altered Beast (Genesis) A classic, in your face Nintendo because we don't use tiny little sprites, we use giant stiff wolfmen! game. The game wasn't worth buying, but if they had the Sega demo at Toys R Us, it would totally wipe out half an hour before you knew it. 214. Gorilla (PC) The best part about these games is that you can edit them. Well, "was", because who cares now. 213. Final Fantasy 8 (PS1) I'm in the same boat, but I loved Triple Triad and Seifer. And for a couple of discs, I was really sold that this would set up a lop-sided love triangle, but also some extra jealousy stuff.. pretty much right before the third Seifer battle is where this game pretty much died for me, and things only got worse... 212. Rampage (multiplatform) Nothing noteworthy??? You're a giant monster smashing buildings and eating the people inside. One of the first games where you're the bad guy! 211. Super Mario Bros. (NES) I loved this game when it first came out, and still really liked it through Mario All Stars. It's crap now, but it's a definite classic. I peg OoT as the most overrated, mostly because the people that call it best game ever because it was supposedly so innovative, also piss on the original Zelda. 209. Mario 64 (n64) I thought games like Crash Bandicoot/Jak n Daxter were better 3D platformers than the Mario games. I know Mario 64 came first and I can see the appeal, but I liked the tidier games a bit more. --- is it Friday yet |

202. Mega Man (NES) I loved this game and am honestly not sure that it's so difficult. I suck at games, but was able to beat this as a kid. But everyone in the world thinks it's tough. 196. Q*Bert (lots) Most underrated game for its time. 194. Mortal Kombat (Arcade) 193. Doom 2 (PC) I have these two games like 150 and 180 spots lower (or higher, whatever is 'better') respectively. 191. Double Dragon (Arcade/SMS) I used to love it, but it became almost unplayable by the time Streets of Rage 2 came out. 190. Metroid (NES) Eat it grandpa, this game rules 187. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GC) It's an also-ran game and a step down. I can't immediately think of a way this game improves on OoT/MM, nor a way that it even tries to. That, and the graphic stylings were stupid. 184. Suikoden 3 (PS2) How many hours of Chris expressing self-doubt can a person take? This game felt like torture. 181. Mario Kart 64 (n64) Yeah, this was great on my college floor. Every day we all crawled out of bed hungover, watched Jerry Springer, got lunch and then played Mario Kart. With a dozen people yelling and laughing, MK64 was perfect.. but I find that trying to play by myself or just 1-2 other people, this game sucks. 179. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (NES) I hated the Ultima rip-off overworld. I liked the side-scrolling stuff, but those axe swinging guys always schooled me. always. **** 178. Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (PS2) Yessss, stand in that one area and you get a ton of money. The optional boss was a great fight. okay need to be productive --- is it Friday yet |
