Favourite Games for Consoles you've played and why

[FentonCrackshell]

NES: Geez, where do I start? I'll have to go with Contra. Just remembering the times I had with that game and my late big brother. We'd play til 4 AM and then start back on it as soon as we woke up. We'd beat it about 15 times a day LOL.

Game Gear: Shinobi, because it's the only game I had on the handheld.

Game Boy: Tetris. Had that game forever as my only game because my parents wouldn't buy me a new game. Said I had too many already lol.

Sega Master System: Double Dragon. Again, times with my brother. I remember one time at the end of the game where we'd have to fight to see who gets the girl. He came up with the idea that we'd both walk off the edge, essentially giving up our own lives rather than fight a brother. Well, just before the edge that f%#ker stops and I go plunging to my death LOL. He gets the girls. For the next 20 years whenever I'd beat him at something, be it basketball, video games, billiards, etc. I'd say: "That's what your punk ass gets for making me walk off the edge!" Can't have those memories without Double Dragon.

Genesis: Altered Beast. Admittedly, I was a huge Nintendo fanboy back in the day. Only because I was a good student did I own so many non-Nintendo consoles. I owned many Genesis games but I remember how awe-Inspiro Altered Beast was when I first played it. Level 3's "Werebear" was the most badass character is ever controlled in a video game. Possibly all the way up until Kratos LOL.

SNES: Tecmo Super Bowl: Fin Edition. More time spent with big brother Dru. We'd go through the season mode over and over again. If only my Niners and his Bills were always so dominant. One thing o remember most is how his team was never able to recover onside kicks. I'd keep onside kicking and getting TDs or FGs out of it. I'd go up 40-0 before I'd give him the ball lol.

N64: Can't really remember the name of this game. Has something to do with an Ocarina of some sort LOL. Another little anecdotal report: I was in the 9th grade when this game released. Staring SG on my JV basketball team. I intentionally got detention and skipped it it order to get 3 days suspension so I'd have time to play Ocarina of Time. I binge played that game and finished it before having to return to school. I was suspended 2 basketball games and lost my starting spot but to this day I consider it a win.

PSOne (Worst... Console... Ever!): Again, was once a huge Nintendo fanboy and hated how much love PSOne was getting. Wu-Tang: Shaolin Style is my favorite PSOne game because it's the only game Id ever owned on the console. I was (and still am!) a huge Wu-Tang Clan fan and at that time in my life if it were Wu-related I had to own it.

PS2: Dark Cloud 2. This game stood as my all time favorite video game for awhile. In fact, it is what turned me into an action RPG fanatic. The weapon leveling and creating, Georama Mode, Spheda, and the awesome Ridepod. So disappointed that we've still not gotten a Dark Cloud 3.

PS3: Dragon's Dogma. And here is the game that usurped Dark Cloud 2 as my all time favorite game. And there it still sits. Oddly enough, I hates the demo to this game and almost didn't pick it up. Glad that didn't happen! The combat in Dragon's Dogma is unlike any I've seen in an RPG. It's more than just holding a single button until the target falls. No, you had to block, dodge, sneak, and sometimes run if you're overwhelmed. Not to mention your character's size and weight determines his or her inventory carrying capacity and movement speed. And using Pawns created by other players is fun. If you get stuck on a mission you can enter the rift, find a pawn who's done that mission previously, and they can direct you where to go. I'm begging for a sequel!!!

PS4: Shadow Of Mordor. Awesome game and I love the LOTR universe. It's far too short but the combat (that actually rewards for not button mashing) and gore are lovely. I love how a generic Uruk can go from random bad guy #1 to War Chief if he kills you enough times.
