Duke Nukem 3D Comparison (PLaystation vs Sega Saturn vs Nintendo 64)
I can't really think of any other game that appeared on all three of these systems. There are games that appeared on the PS1 and Saturn, the N64 and the Saturn, and the PS1 and the N64, but this is the only game I can think of off the top of my head that had a port to all three. Doom doesn't count, because Doom 64 was a completely different game. All footage in this vid is taken on their original consoles running original copies of each game.
Anyway, this is a video comparison of Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown on the PS1, Duke Nukem 3D on the Sega Saturn, and Duke Nukem 64 on the N64. To be honest, I wasn't a PC gamer growing up, so I have only played small bits of the PC original Duke, so I'm not an expert on which is it the most true to the PC.
As for which version is the best, well, each has it's appeal. I really can't choose.
The N64 version has coop, and split screen multiplayer which is good, and it adds new areas to some of the levels (not to mention edited redesigned areas, but that's not a big deal), but the lack of music kind of drives me crazy.
The PS1 version zips by, but has some framerate issues. It also has a remixed soundtrack, but for some reason, the sound in the game is muffled. I could be my personal copy, but it doesn't come in to loudly on my TV for some reason. The PS1 version supports link cable multiplayer.
The Saturn version looks better and has a more stable frame rate than the PS1 version, but is slowest paced version. It's the one I'm most used to on account of the fact that I've had it for years, and only just recently acquired the PS1 and N64 versions. It's missing some things in the levels as well (it isn't censored like the N64 version though), but I still really enjoy the Saturn version. Plus it has a hidden game called Deathtank Zwei which plays like a four-player Worms. FPS games weren't in huge supply on the Saturn, so that still makes Duke on of the best on the system (Quake, Alien Trilogy, and Powerslave are also good choices). The Saturn version supported netlink for multiplayer.
I know fans of each version would like to weigh in on the matter, so what's your favorite console port of Duke 3D?
NOTE: This is not the best playing you'll ever see of this game. I skipped a few secrets along the way in order to make each playthrough as similar as possible.

OMIKR
omikron-the-nomad-soul-dreamcast-3
This is part # of 3 of the opening story and gameplay of Omikron: The Nomad Soul on the Sega Dreamcast. This part shows off an action scene that mixes the FPS, and fighting game genre into this game. Granted, the FPS element is poorly played by me, because I forgot the controls, and even if I hadn't the controls are hard to get the hang of at first. This is the final vid I'm going to show, because I could go on for hours in this game if not stopped. It's a slow to start game, but from what I've played of it, it still manages to be engaging, even in the slow times.
This game is an interesting mix of adventure game with other genres thrown in for good measure. It's one that I have yet to complete, because if you quit playing for a while, then come back to it, it's extremely easy to forget what you had to do. I'll figure it out someday.
There are other similar (in some aspects) games to this out there. The most notably being on the DC itself with Shenmue. The developers of this game, Quantic Dream, later went on to develop Indigo Prophecy, and Heavy Rain.
Omikron is a unique experience with a great atmosphere that those with open minds should give a try.

ps2-underrated-gem-rumble-racing
To see me cover this game in review format among four other underrated PS2 games go here: https://youtu.be/oRXH0q_9WNU
This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.
Rumble Racing is the non Nascar lisenced sequel to Nascar Rumble on the PS1. It still maintains the thrills of it's predecessor, but throws in an extra stunt system that gives you extra boosts. It's fast, it's furious, and it's damn fun. Every PS2 owner should play this one. This is proof that EA was at one time capable of making great games.
Rumble Racing is only on the PS2

PLAYI
playing-half-life-2-on-the-original-xbox
The Xbox port of Half Life 2 was pretty ambitious, and while it doesn't always run the best, it still plays good. It is the worst-looking, worst running version of the game, but despite it's flaws, and framerate dips, it's a perfectly playable version of the game, and an impressive port.
The Xbox definitely got to flex it's muscle in a few PC ports like Half-Life 2 and Doom 3. Those two, along with Butcher Bay, and Farcry Instincts really let us see how far the system could be pushed graphically. Final gen Xbox games were close to first-gen Xbox 360 games. That's not a knock on the 360 launch game graphics, but a testament to how good final-gen Xbox games looked.
NOTE: I edited out the load times to make the footage flow better. The load times in the game aren't bad. I just didn't want to break up the flow of the footage.

nfl-2k2-ps2-vs-dreamcast-comparison
NOTE: My replacement computer isn't that good, so there may be some framerate stuttering, and visual glitches in this vid that aren't there in the original games. Also, I don't play sports games, so forgive my newby playing, and play calling.
This is a comparison of Visual concept's third generation Dreamcast football offering versus their first generation PS2 football offering (which from what I've read was developed in only six months time for the PS2).
I'm going to be doing more of these comparisons between PS2 and Dreamcast games here soon just for the fun of it. I find oldschool comparisons to be more interesting than modern ones, because the debates were just more interesting, and more fun. I remember being on the Gamefaqs message forums when the DC vs PS2 graphical debates were in full swing (do the names Drsmoo, and Fozzyfan ring a bell to anyone else?), and they are more fun to make. Plus I've been getting into debates on some of my vids recently that bring back old memories. It's all for fun, but it is interesting to the different versions of the games. I say overall, the PS2 has better graphics, and was a lot more powerful, however, that doesn't mean it did everything better than the DC (Mainly textures). Though I love the great detailed textures on the DC, the PS2 murders it in every other aspect this side of maybe 2D fighting games. If we're talking polygons, lighting, particles, reflections, and everything else, IMO (and it's OK to have a differing opinion) the PS2 was by far better.
I'm going to compare all the ports I own for both systems, and to the DC's credit, it usually has the better looking version, but I'm also going to be comparing similar games that came out around the same time in each system's life, so I won't go past the 2002 offerings on the PS2 (so no God of War). This is all just for fun, so don't get angry. I know how heated these debates can get.
As for this comparison, this is the same developer working with each system, and though I like the bright color pallet in the DC version, the PS2 version looks the best, and that's even when it comes to the textures which is the odd part. I'm using S-video to make the comparison via the VGA box on the DC, and an S-video cord on the PS2.

SAMPL
sample-this-timeshift-(pc)
I just picked up the PC version of this game, despite already owning the Xbox 360 version. Outside of a message about outdated shaders being used, it runs just fine on my desktop with my 750 ti. I haven't checked to see if there are any patches for this game out there as of yet.
I've always really liked this game. I liked it enough to plop $20 on it to buy the PC version off of Steam. Timeshift mixes elements of Half Life 2, and F.E.A.R. into a very lengthy first person shooter game. It's been over a decade since I played through this one, probably not since I first showed footage of the 360 version in 2010: https://youtu.be/_UHOO9DZsqY but I have always really liked this game, despite it's nonsensical story telling. The story is fragmented, and just doesn't make any sense, but the long campaign, solid gameplay overshadows it's fragmented story.
Here is what I wrote for the footage I showed for the Xbox 360 version:
"Timeshift is a FPS that follows more of the feel of Half-Life than Halo, and that gives you the ability to alter the flow of time.
The story follows...Well, I'm not actually sure what's going on in the majority of the story in this game, and story based gamers will be sorely disappointed. They have story elements, but you'll be scratching your head over them throughout most of the game. This may seem like a big loss to some of you, and will turn you off to this game, but even with a weak story, the game is still fun to play.
As much as I like the story in some FPS games, it all just comes down to there are enemies shooting the hell out of you, so shoot the hell out of them back. It's fun gameplay that's the true motivator in gaming anyways, and from a gameplay standpoint, Timeshift is very solid.
The single player mode is lengthy, has good action, and the time shifting abilities feel like more than a gimmick. Sure, there are some scripted gimmicky events that force you to use them, but aside from those, they become a part of how you play the game. Slow down time in the heat of battle to give yourself the upper hand against your opponents, or pause time to let your health refill. Get a grenade stickied to you? Rewind time to right before it was thrown and move out of the way.
The only flaw in the time abilities is that there's only one button that controls the time abilities, and most of the time the game automatically switches to the one it deems as the most important one to use at the time. You can switch between them yourself as well, but it feels a little clunky. It's sometimes helpful when the game chooses for you, but other times it causes you to choose slow when you want to pause, and vice versa. Overall, it usually works pretty well.
The biggest complaint I've read about this game is that fact that you've seen it all be

This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.
Klonoa 2 is the sequel to the PS1 original Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. It's a super addictive, and fun 2.5D platformer that, while it doesn't do anything new, is refined as games of this type get. You've seen everything this game has to offer before, but Klonoa 2 holds on to the best elements of the genre. This is a must play for fans of 2D platformers.

DRIV3
driv3r-xbox-free-ride-gameplay
This is just some quick gameplay of the Take-a-Ride mode in Driv3r (or would that be Driver 3) on the Xbox. I'm playing on the Miami map of the game.
I only just recently got this one, so I can't really comment on it. I played it a little with a friend back when it first came out, but overall haven't played it enough. I do remember that it does a few things better then GTA in some areas. Mainly in the area of dual stick aiming which took GTA a bit too long to adopt IMO.

TIMES
timesplitters-future-perfect-ps2
This is part 1 of a gameplay vid of the single player mode in the third and final Timesplitters game Timesplitters: Future perfect.
TSFP goes a slightly different route than the first two in the Single player and feels more like a story based FPS game then the old more objective based style of the first two. There are still objectives, but it's definitely more story driven this time around.
Other than that, I can't speak more highly of the Timesplitters series. They are probably my favorite FPS series of last gen, and one of my favorite of all time. There are some things they changed in Future Perfect that they changed from the previous two in when it comes to guns, but overall, the sheer amount of unlockables and features in TS2, TSFP, and to a lesser extent, the original is insane.
People may like their achievements and trophies in their modern games, but if you completed a Timesplitters game 100%, life gives you a trophy. No seriously, it's in the mail.
