EDGE - One of the side effects of games being such strange creatures is that they often get remembered for the most incidental things. For every masterpiece celebrated for the worlds it creates, the new mechanics it defines or the visual techniques it pioneers, there are half-a-dozen oddballs remembered because of some quirk of their attract mode, a particularly bizarre bug or a faintly obscene Easter egg. But a greater rarity is a game that will go down in history for something that has nothing to do with any of the code on its disc, but everything to do with someone else’s reaction to it.
Richard writes: "You're going to have to cast your minds back for this one as we look back at 15 years of Beyond Good & Evil. To give you some context, the game has been around in my lifetime longer than it hasn’t been, having come out when I was only 13 years old!"
This week Jake and Jean-Luc look at the cult-classic action adventure game, Beyond Good & Evil.
Well obviously not the game is 15 years old after all. However it is still a unique gem and worth playing if your hyped for the sequel but it does have outdated gaming mechanics from a decade ago.
There's no such thing as outdated in a game with great gameplay.
That's why retro gaming is huge at the minute. Secret of Mana is still my favourite game and it is still as good as it was when I owned it for the SNES as a kid.
Nicholas Swenson gotta tell you, this list of the best female video game characters was a bit of a nightmare to conceive. There are so many characters Nicholas Swenson wanted to include but couldn’t, either because Nicholas Swenson only having one character per franchise or because 10 others just managed to squeeze out a win.
