Mucu from GamesOnSmash.com gives a rundown of the final day of E3 2010. In addition to Portal 2 and Move, he discusses why he believes the 3DS is not solely going to be a massive product for the video game market. Rather, it’s going to be a massive product the entire tech market. This changes everything.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Jack writes: "Yet again browsing the latest offers in the Steam Spring Sale has led us to track down the very best. In terms of price to quality, we don’t think that it gets much better than this. Portal 2 is now less than a dollar, and if you haven’t got it already, now is the time to pick it up."
Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
That's sweet, I've been thinking about building a modest pc to play some oldies
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.
But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?
A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.
But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.
- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).
Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.
Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.
I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
I don't think I would trust this kid to get my order right at McD's. Why am I suppose to think he is some sort of gaming authority?
I doubt he is old enough to have played on the PS1. He vast experience must give him great insight to the future of gaming.
owned!
Mucu these comments scream jealousy because you were at E3 getting hands-on, while they were at home only able to form hateful opinions to post on N4G.
3DS is great but 3D tech that doesn't need glasses still has a long way to go. The 3DS requires you to view it from a certain angle which won't work for household TVs since they're viewed from many different angles. Not just horizontal angles but vertical too since some people have their TVs below eye level and some above when sat down.
It seems to work amazingly well in a hand-held device so I'll probably get one.
Do you like DS games better than PSP games?
Why?
Im really interested to find out.
Im 32 by the way.
Mucudadada,
You can do all the research in a classroom but you still dont know whats up unless you lived it. Thats like being a world war 2 history buff and preaching to a world war 2 vet how it used to be on the battlefield.
Thats not a opinon. Thats a fact. Fact is youre young. Youve got something sticky on the Back of youre head.
3DS? We dont expect you to aprreciate the progression of gaming because you didnt live the atari 2600 or arcades era. You just heard about it understand?
There is a skill level we respect that comes from decades of experience. Im not hating on the nintendo DS because its Fun. Im surprised at the excitement for what is generally a christmas, birthday present for small children.
& YEs IM JEALOUS You Went TO E3.
Ha HA Ha! Have Fun and Good Luck!
