Discuss: Retro Games in a Modern World

Looking back at the games I played growing up and the games I play now, there is a night and day difference. It seems that modern games are so much easier and all people really care about is how good the graphics are. Have you plugged your old NES into your big screen TV? The graphics suck, but the games are still epic.

CONSOLE WARS!

 
Any console fanboy with logos plastered to their game cases, cars, t-shirts or trapper keepers will spend roughly 90% of their free time telling the rest of the world why their video game platform is so much better than yours. (Actually, that's the definition of fanboy). But which consoles really were the best at the time? Which consoles were overlooked because they were caught inbetween "generations" of video game consoles? Ultimately, which console has withstood the test of time to be the very best (or worst)? Stealing an over-used journalism technique, let's make some lists! (I'm setting my fanboy phasers to "stun" for the rest of this column).

REVIEW: Follow the Leader -Lemmings (1991)

As a new video gamer during the George H. W. Bush administration, I really can only recall a few games that stuck with me from that time through the next Bush presidency and beyond. I was still working on a vocabulary that was bigger than crying and monosyllabic nonsense, but it took only a few years into my life to pick up a controller and know what to do with it. Not to kill the suspense, but this is one of those games.
 

DOUBLE REVIEW: Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure (1994)

What's this? A double review?

Two of our staff members decided to do a review on Boogerman. 

What do they think about this grossly rude game? Let's find out!

REVIEW: Crashin' has Never Felt so Good: Castle Crashers (2008)

How many independently developed games have you played and actually liked? Most of them are too short and just don't deliver like the big dogs. However, that is not the case with Castle Crashers. Rescue the princess and fight your friends for her kiss. Man, I don't think I've ever had this much fun with a downloadable game on the Xbox.
