100 Sega Genesis / Super Nes Games This is a vid of 50 Sega Genesis, and 50 Snes games as played on their original consoles, and taken footage of via a video capture card. I've been neglecting my retro systems lately, so some of the games on here aren't that great (I don't have another Snes game to switch off with The Flintstones which was a game I got for free otherwise believe me, I would), but I only have 50 games for the Snes, and 60+ for the Genesis (not including the Sega Genesis Collection on the PS2, and Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection on the PS3 which I own both of). I've been neglecting them, because it's a lot easier an more convenient to focus more on my newer systems who still have games in the stores, but seeing as I've hit around 260 PS2 games, I think it's time to finally focus on collecting for my retro systems who's collections are lacking. I missed out on a lot of games back in the day, because I was relatively poor, and could only afford so much, and by the time I was old enough to start buying my own games, most 8-bit, and 16-bit games had already disappeared from the store shelves. However, I'm now going to try and fix this as much as possible, and I'm not going to buy any new games for a long time. Instead of the usual "Where's this game or that game?" and "Your collection sucks" comments, I'd appreciate it more if you guys would instead give me some suggestions for my collections for both systems. I know a lot of the obvious ones that I missed, and need to get (Like Contra 3, and Road Rash 3), but I'm also interested in seeing suggestions for games that don't get a lot of attention that I may have overlooked from that era of gaming. ============================ ============================ Anyways, on to the text, I honestly don't have a favorite of these two systems. I love both the Genesis and Snes equally. I know that countless top 10 console lists by the mainstream gaming media will always put the Snes on top (The Genesis was always treated like the red headed step child of the two, but the Turbografx 16 was treated like the red headed step child's red headed step child), but I honestly can't say that one clearly beats the other in my mind. Maybe in some areas, like Snes wins in RPGs, but Genesis wins in beat 'em ups (Streets of Rage beats all others), but overall, both systems are equally great IMO. I'm sure you guys can choose a favorite, but I can't. Both had such a huge impact on my childhood, due to me owning both (got the Genesis for Xmas '93, and later had to buy the Snes with my bro by saving up chore, and birthday money collectively) at the time. They're both equally awesome systems. NOTE: I also made a vid with some game music, but I'm not sure if the music fits. It's really hard trying to s ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT7Raty8KMI

This is just some poorly played footage of the first level in the original Socom on the PS2. I was really craving some tactical shooter action lately, so I popped in the original Socom. I haven't played the fourth one, but I'm willing to bet that it is just another SoCall of Duty clone that no one bought, nor gives a damn about. I'll get it eventually, but am in no rush to play it. People knocked the single player mode in the original Socom, but I really enjoyed it. Sure there are A.I. problems, but I like the fact that you have the choice to go at each level trying to be 100% stealthy, and completing them 100%, or if you really wanted to, you could rambo them. They left you with a choice of how serious you wanted to attack each mission, which I enjoyed, because I rarely have the patience for unforgiving objectives. Just accomplish the main ones if you want, and don't worry about the secondary ones unless you want to. To me it gave it just enough blend of arcadey tactical shooting like Counterstrike, and the hardcore tactics of the original Rainbow Six (not to be confused with the Vegas series which is like diet tactical shooting, or call of duty which is like the coke zero of tactical shooters which is why it's just called a modern shooter, not tactical). ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHh8unVNUtA

This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2. This is another one that won't be for everyone. Project Eden is a puzzle over action focused third person squad based shooter. In the game each character has their own special unique abilities that you'll need to take advantage of in order progress through the game. Project Eden isn't completely and totally devoid of action sequences, but that's not the game's main focus. There is plenty of action in the later levels for those itching to get some, but it's getting to those levels that will be the problem for those gamers who aren't willing to tough it out. This game is not easy. iI's definitely one for those who like to think a lot with their games, but I'd expect no less from the people who brought us Tomb Raider. It does not hold your hand like most games of today. It expects you to be able to figure everything out on your own, and that's why many people will probably pass on this one. It even has some fun multiplayer modes to play around in as well. Project Eden is also available on the PC. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9uMmjLY-1s

People sometimes ask me what the greatest PS1 game ever made is, and if I had to choose one, I'd say it is hands-down Barbie Race & Ride. Forget metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Resident Evil, and any other games people name in the running, Barbie Race & Ride is a riveting thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. The game weaves an intricate plot of deception, and deceit. You are take the reigns (pun intended) of Barbie who is charged with the task of exploring a massive world via horseback. You think Ocarina of Time did it better, then think again. Each level is in Barbie Race & Ride is masterfully designed and accents the core gameplay well. Shigeru Miyamoto needs to take notes on design elements of BR&R. intricately weaved into the levels are hidden areas to explore, and mini games to play. You's think the constant interruptions to the main quest to explore said areas (usually involving looking at sea turtles, or some other animal), or to play the mini games (some as riveting as finding a pearl in a clam shell) would be a distraction, but they are done so well that the constant interruptions to your quest are welcome, because you're constantly surprised on what the designers, and Barbie will throw your way. The racing elements in the game are tense due to the masterfully programmed AI, and will leave you sweating, and possibly make you crap your pants (I know i pinched one off just playing this footage), and the control is tight, and superbly responsive. The graphics in the game push the PS1 beyond it's limits, and even put to shame games like Supreme Warrior, and Night rap. The vivid worlds are so lifelike, you'll swear you can feel the sea breeze running through Barbie's hair. If you thought the graphics in Final Fantasy VII, and Metal Gear Solid were the best the PS1 had to offer, I urge you to think again. Bottom Line: Barbie Race & Ride is no only the greatest PS1 game ever made, it's possibly the greatest game of all time. If you have a PS1 this needs to be in your collection, hell, even if you don't have a PS1, you need to buy one to play this game. It really is that good. Forget halo, Forget Call of Duty, and forget any other game ever made, Barbie Race & Ride beats them all (the only thing close is Sesame Street: Elmo's Letter Adventure). NOTE: This is another one I got in a massive Ebay lot of games, and will probably never be able to resell it. Oddly enough this game was developed by the company that ported Soldier of Fortune to the Dreamcast. I'm not sure how you go from Barbie to the insane Gore-fest that is SoF. Granted, games like Barbie Race & Ride do promote obscene violence. NOTE NUMBER 2: This is a joke, this game is actually pretty annoying and ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMvdKVp6Al0
