Day 13 - Best Nintendo 64 Game

Best N64 game? This one is hard...


There are so many good ones, but for me, I have to go with Mario Kart 64.


There are some stiff competition for best N64 game (i.e. GoldenEye, Ocarina of Time, Pokemon Snap), but the addictive and fun multiplayer of Mario Kart make it top everything else, IMO.

Day 12 - Favourite Action Game

Favourite action game? There have been so many, how can I choose?


I'm gonna go with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, before the CoD franchise sold out and remade the same game over and over, just adding a new title to it.


The game was fantastic, with a single player campaign that was fun and entertaining, and challenging (the Sniper level was awesome, and how many times I tried the Airplane level on Legendary to get that achievement! It had to be over 250+ times, haha), and multiplayer that you had to experience. Believe it or not, this was the first Call of Duty game I ever played, and, having played the others in the franchise, nothing can rival this game, at least not yet the way they're publishing CoD games.

Day 11 - Best PC Game

Hmmm.... best PC game?


Haven't really been a fan of PC games since playing NHL 97 on MS Dos back in the day. But have recently got back into them, and I gotta say that Team Fortress 2 takes the cake for me.


All the classes you play as are really fun and collecting stuff is just a really fun experience. And of course, listening to crazy people talk online is really funny, haha.

Day 10 - Best Xbox Game

Best Xbox game? I'm gonna say two, as they are completely different but they both come to mind with the original Xbox for me.


Halo: Combat Evolved and MVP Baseball 2005. They couldn't be more different, but two of the best games on the Xbox.


Halo is just a great game that re-invigorated the FPS genre with a great story and cool hero. I'm still scared during the Guilty Spark part... haha.
MVP Baseball 2005 is known as the greatest baseball game ever created. It did so much at the time, while baseball games today are just doing what it did 5-6 years ago now. Being a big sports games fan, its one of the best I have ever played.

Day 09 - Best Playstation 2 Game

Hmmm... best PS2 game? Never actually owned one, so I am already at a disadvantage... haha


But I know what I'm gonna go with, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.


To me, it is still the best GTA game. Took what GTA 3 had and brought the series to a new level.

Day 07 - Best Playstation Game

Best PS1 game? Difficult choice, but I can think of the best...

Official cover art for Metal Gear Solid for the North American PlayStation

Good old Metal Gear Solid just revolutionized the stealth genre of videogames, creating an unparalleled and creative story and innovative gameplay.

I remember taking turns playing this game with my brother when I was younger, remembering how hard the first opening scene was. Looking back, it was so easy but at the time it was one of the most difficult games I had ever played. Snake?.... Snake???.... SNAKE!!??? hahaha

Day 06 - A Game From Your Childhood

A game from my childhood? Ahh, there are sooo many! I'm gonna cheat and do two games.

Genesis Games - NBA Jam Genesis Genesis Games - Olympic Gold Barcelona 92 Genesis

I'm gonna go with NBA Jam and Olympic Gold, both on the Sega Genesis.

NBA Jam GEN Screenshot 4 Olympic Gold Genesis Screenshot 2

I have soo many childhood memories of countless battles between my brother and I in these two games, haha. There is no beating my brother in the 100 m sprint in Olympic Gold, he owns the world record, haha, but I put up a fight in NBA Jam. HE'S ON FIRE!

Day 05 - Best Mega Drive/Genesis Game

Best Sega Genesis game?



There are a lot of good ones, but Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is, in my opinion, the best for the Genesis.


No saves, later levels are hard as hell, and just a classic character on an epic adventure. Its Sonic, need I say more?



BTW, whenever I walk into a casino, I expect this music to be playing, haha.

Day 04 - Favourite Adventure Game

Favourite adventure game? Hmmmm....

Spyro-year of the dragon.png

Gonna have to go with Spyro: Year of the Dragon for the Playstation, the best of the 'Spyro the Dragon' franchise, and final Spyro game made by developer Insomniac.


This little purple dragon brings back fond memories for me and countless hours spent into trying to find all those dragon eggs, some of which are ridiculously hard to get (I'm looking at you, Turtle Chef!!) A great game, too bad that Insomniac stopped making Spyro games...

Day 03 - Best Super Nintendo Game

Best Super Nintendo Game? This one is really easy...


Donkey Kong Country!


IMO, the best graphics on the SNES, one of the greatest characters of all time and one of the most challenging and fun games that I have ever played.

- - - Side Note:
Wasn't having the greatest of days and when I get home, this guy is sitting on my desk. One of the most unsuspected gifts of my life! Turned my day around! =D
