Other Games I Think Are Rad

I'll admit, I haven't played this game that much. In fact, I barely played it at all, maybe an hour total. That said, what little I played, I absolutely fell in love with. The damnedest thing is trying to get this thing to run on a modern PC without crashing. If there is a game that deserves to get an HD Remake, THIS is THAT game. It borders on criminal that it hasn't happened so far. It might not have been the most popular game, but you will be sorely pressed to find anyone who will speak ill of it.

A faithful PC rendition of the AD&D 2nd Edition Campaign setting of Birthright. Fantastically deep and challenging.

I've gone back and forth over whether or not to agree with IGN's assessment that this game is "Like Skyrim with guns."
At the moment, I'm inclined to agree. You're given a huge open sandbox world to explore, plenty of upgrades to acquire through leveling up and completing tasks & objectives. In short, there is a whole slew of things to do that end up making the main story quests seem a lot less urgent. This seems like kind of a shame, because I'm finding the story to be more and more enjoyable the further I progress, which is the opposite of how I felt about Skyrim's story.

A game that I haven't ever beaten, and may very well not ever beat. The enemy numbers grow at an exponential rate. Still, it's a unique game that takes place 50% of the time underwater. Gotta stop those aliens from taking over the earth, by any means necessary.

One of the funnest Legend of Zelda titles there is to play. I won't talk about the cel-shaded graphics much, you either love them or you hate them. That said, this is probably the best use of cel-shading I've ever seen in a game. This is the first Legend of Zelda game where I felt like Link had an actual, distinct personality.

With the gaming market stuffed to the gills with games touting their realism, or seeming to be Hollywood-inspired gritty shooters, it was a great relief to find Bulletstorm. This is just an awesomely fun, over-the-top, ridiculous, and fast-paced arcade-y shooter.



It might be that I have a soft-spot in my heart for protagonists who are kind of morons (in the vein of Ash from Army of Darkness), but the Hero of this game really struck a chord with me.

All of the games made by the Oddworld Inhabitants have a bizarre charm to them, and this one is no different. Functionally, this game is a first-person shooter. And while that is a genre that is absolutely overloaded with a glut of games, I don't think there's any game on the market quite like this one.

I hate to say it, but if you've played one Elder Scrolls game, you've played them all. This is a solid entry for the series though. Remarkable for having both the best and worst DLC's ever made. The Shivering Isles and Horse Armor. I'll let you guess which one is best.

“This is more DOOM. Not much has changed from the first game. New Super Shotgun, larger levels, and twice the number of Boss demons, with some Bosses from the game appearing as common enemies in later levels. Also, I love the box art for both games. And their soundtracks.”

A remarkably solid RPG starring the king of platforming games. Plenty of interesting characters and easter eggs, with lots of wonderful humor.

"My opinion of this game seems to vacillate quite a bit. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through it. I'm unsure how to rate it in regards to other Legend of Zelda games in particular. It tends to borrow quite heavily from Ocarina of Time, which isn't too terrible, considering that OoT was an absolutely incredible game in it's own right. It does seem to be a rather dark game, not in that it's particularly "mature," but more in that it's actually visually rather dark. I feel this helps lend some originality, giving the game it's own tone.

A shameingly fun first person shooter. The story is one of revenge. Pretty simple, you want to get back at the people who beat the fuck out of you and left you for dead. The soundtrack by Cypress Hill, helps get you into a "gangsta" state of mind.

“A beautiful and ambitious game for the SNES. Kind of a standard saving-the-world affair, but with a fairly unique twist. Basically, evil powers have kidnapped just about everyone and everything, and you have to set things right. It was fascinating and rewarding to see that your actions in the combat areas could have a profound effect upon the non-combat Hub areas, as you set the world aright.”

The first mildly educational game I played. It did make me think that the Civil War was ridiculously fun, however.

"The best Evil Dead game ever made. Now granted, that isn't exactly saying much considering every other Evil Dead game is a steaming pile of shit, but this one is actually fun to play, and you really feel like you're stepping into the misfortunate shoes of one Ashley "Ash" Williams. Good, Bad, you're the guy with the gun."

"Lord British knows how to make a good game, that's for sure. Even though he's been essentially remaking the same game for decades, I feel this is the best iteration thus far. This game if pretty heavy on the RPG side of adventure."

Yet another Lord British game. A classic of early era RPG's. Not much to say. Gotta save the world, and only your party of virtuous heroes can do the job.

Interesting in the fact that originally this game wasn't intended to be a Mario game at all. It shows because this game has almost nothing in common with the first Super Mario Bros game. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the bizarro journey through the Subcon world. Princess Toadstool is easily the best character, btw.

Interesting note, take a close look at the box art. Do the two heroes look at least a little bit familiar? Their names were removed for the US release of this game, but the two heroes are Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. Yup, are you really surprised that Guerrilla War is about the Cuban Revolution?

"Forget everything you know about Contra. This game may as well not even have Contra in the title. You're not fighting endless hordes of aliens, you're fighting human terrorists. Still, the action is fast-paced, relentless, and challenging."
