Would Crash Bandicoot count as a superhero though? Superhero is a fairly broad term, and certainly whether or not a certain character is one is open to debate on a case-by-case basis. In this context, I interpreted "superhero games" as "games about comic book superheros." If we're going to...

As a die-hard Nintendo fanboy child of the eighties, I had one of the original grey brick GameBoys! At the time it was awesome to play games comparable to those of the NES on a portable system! The perfect way to while away the time on a long road trips! (As a passenger, of course!) Of...

It's true, Final Fantasy VII's graphics are the aspect of the original PS1 game that have aged the worse--but naturally will be the biggest improvement in the upcoming PS4 remake! However, while I also prefer the sprites of the SNES's classic JRPGs--the sprite approach to graphics were taken as...

I cannot lie, I can only beat Dr. Wiley in Mega Man 7 by outright cheating with an emulator's save states! Also, those rocket sleds from Mega Man 8 were one of the main moments I was thinking of when I referred to platforming across moving tracks--and give me flashbacks to the similar and...

My favourites in the classic Sim series are the original SimCity and SimAnt. Unlike SimEarth, which conceptually should be one of the greatest entries in the franchise but was too over-complicated and insufficiently engaging in its execution: the learning curve for new players is reasonable...

I have great news then: Square Enix actually announced a HD remake of Final Fantasy VII for the PS4 earlier this summer! Check out their trailer: As for my opinion on the original Final Fantasy VII for the PS1: I fully acknowledge all of the criticisms in this thread. Is it as good as...

It took the greatness of a console like the NES and its phenomenal library of games to rebuild the home video game market, and the consumer confidence within its products, following the great video games market crash of the early eighties! That alone places the NES firmly among the Top 5...

Personally, I prefer to hold onto my video games, music, books, etc as much as possible--as a collector and as someone who will tends to revisit a specific older game or what have you entirely on a whim. However, if my finances are such that I must sell off some of the above to help pay the...

Hopelessly lost in Zelda? Oh, you just need find the maps and the compasses! Make sure that you explore every room, and try backtracking and tossing a bomb at any wall that looks a bit odd! Feel free to enter people's homes and break all of their pottery too, they won't mind--but leave their...

Oh yes, those accursed disappearing blocks! Arguably not as difficult as certain boss fights or some of the times Mega Man had to platform across rapidly moving tracks, but certainly a more regular pain that makes players wince on sight! I always try to circumvent platforming across...

While I can most definitely see why video game companies would push to have a game on the market in time for holiday shopping, rushing a game's development to meet an arbitrary release date is one of the primary factors in notable disasters throughout the history of video games. The most famous...

I've always thought that the Dark Queen from Battletoads was quite striking, in a fairly sultry gothic manner similar to Elvira, Vampirella, and Lady Death.

Any fatality involving Sub-Zero freezing his opponent! That's quite literally the coolest fatality! ;) :p :cool:

I would love to see new modern games, and/or updated versions of the older games, in Sierra's various Quest franchises: Police Quest, King's Quest, and Space Quest. I would also love to see new or updated entries in the great classic RTS PC games: Dune, WarCraft, and StarCraft. New or updated...

I would probably accept a USD $60 price point for a truly complete and newly released great game that I would spend quite a bit of time playing and re-playing. But if a game is past its window as a new release, I would have to pay more for a DLCs and updates after the fact, it's a short simple...

Back in the bad old nineties, I was fairly impressed by the variety of the mods for DOOM: Aliens DOOM, Star Wars DOOM, even (unfortunately) porno DOOM, etc. Basically, think of something you would rather be running around and shooting at than demons and you have the premise for a DOOM mod...

During my youth, I would have answered with Spider-Man & Venom in Maximum Carnage on the SNES. There are arguably other Spider-Man games that make you feel more like Spider-Man, but Maximum Carnage was just an absolutely fantastic street brawler that really pushed the capabilities of the SNES...

To me, a preference for a controller over a keyboard-and-mouse is extremely game specific. On a PC, I would always play a FPS like DOOM with a keyboard as intended--but find that such games also work well when played on a console using their controller, such as the N64's GoldenEye...

The board games that I personally enjoy generally tend to fall into one of three camps. Firstly, I enjoy classics like Chess and Risk that reward strategy and actual skill rather than being mere games of chance! Secondly, I enjoy modern games like Cards Against Humanity that facilitate having...

For me, the answer to this question is an effective tie between: 1) The final battles with Dr. Wiley at the ends of Mega Man 7 and Mega Man 8! (There's a reason as to why Wiley has such a wicked grin in those battles! Come to think of it, the final fight with Dr. Wiley in Mega Man II was...
