"A Diamond Jubilee, then. Whilst it will all probably boil down to a performance of ‘She’s Like The Wind’ (or something) from Coldplay (or someone) on the Thames, the extra time off work afforded by the whole affair is a thoroughly golden opportunity. To explore the alternatives.
Regardless of your feelings on the monarchy, they very rarely crop up in electronic entertainment form. Largely, we feel, because we’ve got our own set of royals. Here’s a top five breakdown of who we feel should be sat in the big white building at the top of Constitution Hill"
Katamari Damacy is a real joy of a game that feels a lot more optimistically about us than some of us might realize.
NAnan nanana nanaaaaa Katamari Damachiiiii
Man, I love this game! still have my PS2 version :)
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!
Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!
I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.
I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
Lets roll up into an all time PS2 classic with our Retro Review of Katamari Damacy!
