The greatest games - A Personal list of Neocracker~

[NeoCracker]

Okay, this has just been to keep my first few posts looking somewhat orderly. There won't be more consecutive posts after this.

What a great way to start off...


149. Paladins Quest (SNES)
      Yeah, there is no defense for this game. Its bad. Honestly this game does pretty much nothing right. It looks dated for it’s time, the characters are badly designed, and I can say nothing good for this game.

      This is easily the worse game I’ve ever played that I still kind of like. There’s this odd charm in it’s cheesy dialogue that I can’t quite explain, and it’s horribly designed battle system still gives me a modicum of joy.

      Not much detail will go into this, but it still has this awkward place in my heart, and for the life of me I couldn’t tell you why.

148. War Gods (N64)
      Again, this is kind of a hard game to defend. As a Fighting game, War Gods didn’t really have a big roster, being beaten out by many SNES fighting games. The controls were a bit stiff, and the N64 controller was terrible for fighters, (And most things to be fully honest.)

      But there was a fun variety in it’s little cast., and a lot of the moves, mostly finishers, that were just fun to watch. You get to see a Stone Golem punt a guys head off after hammering him into the ground, a guy cut them open with a voodoo doll, or a guy knocking you onto an alter and ripping your heart out to take a bite of it.

      So yeah, I enjoyed it based solely on some pretty base and silly reasons, but I was young.

147. Totaled (XBOX)
      Yep, the only original XBox Title on my list. This game was pretty aware of what it was, stupid fun. It was a destruction derby where you smashed other cars and hoped they went boom before yours did.

      It’s pretty much as basic a set up as you can get, and honestly the controls were a bit stiff, and graphics were... Passable.

      But when played with a friend, there was a thrill in smashing the crap out of each other, and things getting totaled in bizarre and fun ways. In the games defense, I think that’s what it was going for, and it succeeded at that. But pretty much only that.

146. Lufia: Legends of Lore (GBC)
      This was kind of a hard game to place on this list to be fully honest with you. There was a lot about the game that bothered me, especially as a fan of Lufia’s 1 and 2.

      The game is clearly made to cater to the fans, with the world and story elements, but gives us nothing we actually wanted. The kept the answers of Arek the Absolute, the last major point of the Lufia Universe that needed answered, and instead gave us one more struggle against the Sinestrals.

      The problem is for a new comer to the series, there really isn’t anything about the world or story you would come in caring about, so this game seems like it wasn’t really made for anyone.

      However, the games saving grace is it’s unique battle system. a turn based RPG that utilizes 9 playable characters, and handles the large size very well, and making party position more important then in most RPG’s.

145. Enchanted Arms (PS3/360)
      You may be noticing a pattern here. That pattern being that these first five games are all kind of poopy. And you would be write. They are.

      Enchanted arms, noticeably, is a game that gets a lot of crap, and rightfully so. Probably the games two best features are the environments look pretty cool, and it didn't’ completely smurf everything up.

      The story is good in premise, but at most turns the execution is flawed. Characters are pretty stock, leaving only a couple decent characters and one that's constantly annoying.

      The Battle system is okay, and fairly unique. Essentially this is the only part that's not too bad, though the game is a bit on the easy side, so the battle system kind of wears itself out about half way through.


Trust me though, I promise the list starts getting better.
