Spotlight PS1: First Person Shooters

One of the most frustrating things I hear coming from modern gamers is this idiotic belief that all the games on the PS1 were either overrated or crap. Seeing as I own nearly 200 games for Sony's original grey box, I know better. The problem is most people never went below the mainstream titles that the system had to offer, so when they talk about how "crappy" the PS1 is, they haven't even scratched the surface of the system's library of games which is massive, and varied. This has led me to make the decision to spotlight the various genres that the system has to offer, and show games that some of you have probably never even heard of, or played. Some of them I have yet to play as well. One of the genres most often quoted as being crap on the PS1 is the First Person Shooter genre. I know from experience that the lineup of PS1 first person shooters is extremely solid. Are there better shooters on other consoles? That's all a matter of opinion, but what ca...

My Must-Play PS2 Games

Is it really coming up on ten years? It seems just like yesterday that I was opening my brand new PS2 for Christmas 2001. It was the old fat model with Gran Turismo 3 as a pack-in game. Along with that, I also got Timesplitters which was the game I wanted most in the early PS2 lineup. Man it didn't disappoint. Not only did I get to experience the prettiest racing game at the time, but I was happily fragging away in Timesplitters without a care in the world. Who would have guessed that nine years and 272 (as of my writing this) PS2 games later, I'd still be gaming on the system as strongly as I ever did. I've got so many memories fromt he last ten years of gaming involving Sony's second system. High school, every friday night, at my friend's house with four or five guys huddled around on shiny PS2 system. My introduction to online gaming came from that same friend's house when he bought the original Socom. Lets also not forget the time it took us four hours of p...

Do you ever get tired of the over exposure some games get?

Note: I originally posted this in a topic on GamePro.com , but I decided that it was worthy enough to add to my blog It seems lately that, though there are hundreds if not thousands of games released every year, we only really hear about a small handful of them. I know that it's not realistic to expect any magazine/website to possibly cover them all. There are just too many. However, why does it seem that only a small handful of games even get any attention from the gaming media? I know that those games are more likely to get the website hits, and to sell the magazines, but am I the only one who gets so tired of hearing about these games that by the time they come out I couldn't force myself to care about them? Back in the day I was completely content on reading one page to half a page about what the premise of a game was, and then that was good enough. If it sounded interesting then I'd look into it. Today however that doesn't seem to be good enough. They've gotta ...
