In the 12th episode of Impossible Gaming, Tristan of The Unheard Nerd picks up the king of frustrating video games: Siver Surfer on the NES. All the while him and Chadley discuss The Possessor, the looped soundtrack, rubber duckies and more!
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "On August 14, 1995, exactly 24 years ago to the day, the original NES was discontinued in the west, bringing an end to an almost ten year period of dominance for the 8-bit console in North America. Over that period of time we saw the birth of some of the most beloved video game franchises ever, many of which are still going strong today, ensuring a legacy for the console that stands near unrivalled in the industry.
Of course, a significant part of that enduring legacy is the music from those games, composed by many of the most talented composers to ever work on video games. For many people it was the NES that introduced them to exceptionally talented composers such as Koji Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu, David Wise, Koichi Sugiyama, and many others. What follows are just some of the countless amazing themes the NES gave us over its lifespan, some of which might be completely new to many of you."

We are at it again, with some new lists about some older games that have some particularly memorable music. All of these titles are PlayStation 2 and older, so we have some solid variety for you this week.
Bomberman Fantasy Race (PS1) - Bomber Circuit
If you're anywhere below the age of 15, you may have a hard time placing your finger on the classic and nostalgic status of Bomberman; but slightly older gamers will attest, the Bomberman games were always the highlight of living room gaming parties. Fantasy Race on the original PlayStation is one of the lesser known Bomberman spin-off titles, but it's nothing short of madly entertaining and exciting. A fireworks of color, the game brims with alacrity and effulgence and the soundtrack is one of the best on the console.
Laura of GAMElitist.com - "It’s the first decision you make when you load up a new title, and arguably an element of gaming which differentiates the men from the boys. Whichever one you choose will affect your entire experience; but, perhaps more importantly (not really, but whatever), it will most definitely alter your reputation amongst other gamers."
Hardest if available (some games lock it till after you complete the game once), mainly due to most games these days being so insanely easy.
Killzone 2 is the only game that I've played in recent years that elite difficulty definitely meant elite :)
The hardest difficulty, so I don't need to do it again.
For example, I'll do CoD on VEteran so I don't need to re-do it for the trophies and can jump straight online.
Normal/default and work my way up. If it's a game that I'm really only playing for the story I don't see a reason to boost the difficulty.
I never play a game on easy any more. I say to myself 'what's the point?'and play normal.Not to sound egotistical or anything but I have been playing games way to long to play on easy for any reason.
