games to try before you die

HE'S ON FIRE! BOOM SHAKA LAKA! JAMS IT IN! Sound familiar? Even if you are not a fan of sports games. NBA JAM was amazing, and still holds up insanely well. How could you forget 2 on 2 basketball with some of the greats like Scottie Pippin, Larry Bird, and Bill Clinton! Wait....huh?

If you haven't figured it out yet, I am quite the fan of the Mega Man Series. Each one of them is awesome (the older ones that is). Like Mega Man X, the "X" series just seemed to be getting better and better. Super Nintendo was a platform that required perfection in it's games, which you don't see in games today. For another standard in platforming, look no further than Mega Man X2. Read

When you first cracked your new Super Nintendo system back in 1991, you were super excited for the greatness that is 16-bit! What is a bit? I have no clue, but the more the better! We were playing the original Super Mario Bros. like it was going out of style on our NES', but then SNES arrived, Mario had to improve...and came out the greatest Mario title ever to be released (IMO)!

Mini golf is a pretty fun game. It has been forever since I have gone to a mini-golf course. Getting around the damn spinning windmill is always a biotch. You know what would amp up mini-golf though? Tornadoes, Spiky dudes, spinning floors, etc! You might not find these on your typical courses, but you will find them in Kirby's Dream Course.

What is there to say about Star Wars, it is one of the biggest phenomenon's of all time! Who doesn't like Star Wars? Well, I suppose not everyone likes Star Wars, but you are crazy if you don't. Star Wars has graced game consoles since game consoles have existed, mostly based off of the movies. Then this game came around and proved that you didn't always have to follow the movies.

Before there was the super popular Facebook game of Farmville....there was a similar game (but way better) on home consoles named Harvest Moon. Yea, I know...it does sound like a very boring game in today's standards. I mean come on...HARVEST MOON?!? That doesn't sound fun at all! Wrong you are!

The question of the century should be, "Who hasn't played Tetris?" Tetris is the most popular puzzle game of all time. With games at the time like Super Mario Bros. where you were saving the princess, everyone got on board the puzzle craze that is Tetris. Started in the late 80's and the craze continues today.

If you grew up in the late 80's and 90's, you know who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are. Pizza addicted turtles that happen to be ninjas. Man, cartoons were so much better in the 90's! Even though they still exist today, they are not as "rad" as they were. With their popularity, also came a Nintendo game. No...not the first one...the second one....kicked ass!

Well, it's Halloween today, so I think it is a perfect day to do some horror video gaming! What could fit better than the game that perfected the 'survival horror' genre. Zombies right now are all the rage, and that rage began in gaming with Resident Evil.

Since it is Halloween time, I better inform you about a terrifying game. This game here, will scare the living crap out of you man. Many games have attempted to scare you, such as Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark, Night Trap, etc. They did a pretty good job at it, but nothing is quite as terrifying as Silent Hill.

The 'Blue Dude With 'Tude' was in his prime back in the 90's! It was a constant battle on who was the better mascot. Mario or Sonic? Here in America, we loved Sonic! He was fast, cool, and had attitude (everything in the 90's was about attitude...don't ask me, it's just how it was). Sonic The Hedgehog 2 was a typical pack-in game that came with your Genesis, and for many, was the first Genesis gam

There is a lot of 'Shovelware' on Nintendo Wii. Games like Game Party, Chicken Blaster, etc. Wii's game library is about 89% crap. There is however, a few diamonds in the rough when it comes to Nintendo's motion based console. After years of fan demand, to have this game brought over from Japan, we got our wish. Our efforts were definitely rewarded with this game.
