CC: "HD remakes seem to be all the rage these days. After the initial uproar over the lack of backwards compatibility on non-60GB PS3 models (Smug Hi-5 for those still with 60GBs!), I suppose it’s better late than never; very slowly, you’re getting the chance to play some of those 20th Century classics that blew your young, innocent mind with blocky pixels and copious amounts of lens flare..."
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
From first-person espionage thrillers to the original installments of beloved franchises, check out the greatest retro video games we recommend for anyone.
I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.
Raiden was introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2 to the ire of some fans. In this opinion article, we argue that the character didn't deserve the backlash that was received upon release.
He just wasn't interesting sadly and to have Snake in the game, even playing him for a bit then give us the old switcharoo was just bad.
Put it this way, he was so bland they had to make him a cool cyborg ninja in the 4th game.
Maybe. But his dialogue and voice acting didn't do him any good. No offense to the voice actor, he was much better in mgs4, so it's not his fault. Raiden was extremely whiny and just not interesting.
I didn't mind Raiden, in part 2. I never cared for rising but it was way more action heavy and at the time its not what I was looking for in a mgs game. I would retry it though these days
I enjoyed doing cartwheels while holding my balls on a giant warship, haha! Definitely a great character. I also enjoyed his spinoff game, it was short and simple but they did a good job putting it together.
These things are not HD remakes.
They are HD "remasters"!
The way he puts it they are changing the gameplay all together, all thats being done is a little bit of a paint job and it being released all on one blu ray.I will be getting it on day one. if he wants to play the original metal gear solid go download it of the store and stop writing pointless articles
The title just proves how stupid this post is. It should be 'a' not 'an'.
I would totally prefer a ZOE HD remake.
One report: "Yeah, you know what else could be the worst thing ever? Wasting seconds of my lie clicking that link. "
Didn't even read it. *sigh*.
