Final Fantasy IV Easytype

The definitive English introduction to character driven JRPGs.

This was the first English translated character driven Final Fantasy game to hit North America's shores (as Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy before it were based about generically created characters). It set the standar... Read Full Review

Tetrisphere

Completely unappreciated at first glance, but just as good (if not better) as the original Tetris.

I remember dropping by a friends place one night with some other people when he had picked this title up (but showed little interest in it). All I can remember is picking up the controller and being instantly hooked. M... Read Full Review

Super Mario Kart

A great game for everyone.

Mario Kart was something unseen at the time and was pulled off great by Nintendo (considering it's just taking their lead Mario characters and throwing them on a race track). What really made this game such a success ... Read Full Review

Street Fighter II

Without this, fighting games wouldn't be what they are today.

Street Fighter II set the standard with regards to 2D fighters. It was a hit at the arcades, but even more so on the home console market. This was the first "killer app" game for the SNES and rightly so. It opened up ... Read Full Review

Final Fantasy VI

Set the standard for todays RPGs.

Final Fantasy III is arguably the best RPG of the SNES/Genesis generation (the other to be argued over is Chrono Trigger). It built upon Final Fantasy II (which actually set most of the standards in RPGs we see today) b... Read Full Review

Half-Life 2

Better than I expected!

Ever since first playing Trespasser, I've been enthralled with seeing great physics in my games. It adds that element of realism that I often find missing. On this, Half-Life 2 delivers hands-down. What I didn't kn... Read Full Review

Mega Man Zero 3

They finally got the balance right!

I've played through all the titles in the Zero series, this is definitely the one to get. The difficulty level is finally brought down to a reasonable level. The story is also the best they're done so far (tying up man... Read Full Review

Fallout

If I had one RPG to take with me to a desert island....

I'm not even certain how to begin this review. Fallout is easily one of the best games I've ever played in my lifetime. It's not just a game but an entire world that you can become completely absorbed into. I'll ski... Read Full Review

Darklight Conflict

A total sleeper hit of it's day.

I picked up the Darklight Conflict right when it came out for a mere $20. Money well spent. Overall it's your standard space sim, with a good solid storyline, great ship designs and a powerful graphics engine (which ... Read Full Review

Dark Age of Camelot: Shrouded Isles

Much fun had, but it looses it's charm over time.

I played Dark Age back when it first came out, and I'll admit, I have not touched the game since the many expansions began to come out. So I'm sure others will point out that some things have changed since then. My p... Read Full Review

Contra Spirits

If you want to try Contra, this is the one to try first.

Of all the Contra series, this is definitely the best (at least, so far). With improved graphics over it's NES predecessors, excellent sound/music and improved gameplay, it was a total sure-fire hit. It's a given tha... Read Full Review

Fable

Gamespot's review didn't do this game justice.

I can honestly say this is the single best game I've played in the last two years. Not since Grand Theft Auto 3: Vice City has an experience like this come along. Everything about this game just *screams* polish. To... Read Full Review

Contra

139 votes and not a single review yet for this classic title! This was the port of the arcade game of the same name for the NES. It was another instant classic for Konami (much like Castlevania). Very open controls (m... Read Full Review
