Games come and go, but what about those that leave their mark on history? Goozernation takes a step back and looks at such games as Halo, Goldeneye, Shenmue, Call of Duty 4, as well as a few others and asks what made these games memorable and what are their legacies? Why are these games considered to be before their time?

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.
It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.
Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."
Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.
On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.
Replies(1)The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games
You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.
Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.
Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.
Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
Bungie has fully settled the Destiny 2 Red War copyright lawsuit with writer Matthew Martineau, ending a year-long legal fight.
Halo CE is where gaming all started for me...
I def agree with MGS1 aka MGS before it went from kickass to batshit crazy. Also, Halo CE changed the shooter genre forever and ushered in competetive play.
I think what HALO did was it showed a co op world for console gaming on an entire new level and it so happened to have solid graphics and a strong story
and of course HALO 2 is the reason console online gaming became a success
I think there is only one thing really that made these games stand out "big time"
Innovation. 'Nuff said.
DEUS EX
Half-Life 1
Mario 64
Goldeneye
MGS
Perfect Dark- N64 could barley run this game with or without the expansion pack. It had Co-op and even a Counter-Op mode.
Metal Gear Solid 1
Star fox 1
Edit- The article is wrong when it says halo had online. It wasnt online until halo 2. Halo 1 made system link and Co-op campaign popular.
