They're like flare jeans! This article is a pretty good guide to finding ways to get into retro/old school gaming without having to shell out for an old school system. But the option is there as well. Some would say games were better when they were simpler, this is a good way to see if you think so as well. What's old certainly is what's new again. There's been a huge resurgence of retro gaming as of late.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
One word - emulation!
I play all old systems on my PC and have an archive of every single game for every single system - even machine I never heard of at the time.
If you'r not completely mad for it - just grab MAME and you can play the real arcade roms from your fave machines of the past - many thousands of titles for that one emulator alone.
Seems like an interesting concept is the hardware works as advertised. I'm not a huge fan of emulators. Maybe because I already hate playing games on the PC but I feel more comfortable with a good old controller and a TV set across the room.
I just bought a NES from eBay the other day, waiting for it to be delivered.
