I just want more 3D Platformers on PS4. I'm kinda worn out when it comes to FPS games though the BO3 Beta did re-energize me a little.

DragonDDark3188d ago

We have Activision to thank for the difficult part.

Crash Bandicoot was one of my first gameplay experiences, and he'll always stay awesome.

1996 Voted as ‘Best Year in Gaming’ by UK Public

Have you ever wondered what the best year in gaming was? Well wonder no more! The British public have had their say, and voted for 1996.

Limitedtimestruggle625d ago

I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!

Dfooster625d ago

Yeah that is a good choice. Great times

Snakeeater25625d ago

Lol Nintendo 64 … talk about a shitty year for gaming

Old McGroin625d ago

The N64 was amazing at the time, how old are you, 12?

CobraKai625d ago

Mario 64, Mario Kart, WaveRace. They’re prolly too young to appreciate em. My kids love the N64.

Terry_B624d ago

No..1996 was not a good start for the N64. The system had a lousy start in comparison to the SNES, Playstation and probably even the Sega Saturn.

CobraKai625d ago

So…. Nevermind the first time Resident Evil or Tomb Raider was released, a damn near arcade perfect port of Tekken 2, Quake, Wipeout, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario RPG, Nights, Panzer Dragoon Zwei? It’s shitty cuz the old N64 is it?

More of a 97 person myself.
FF7, Symphony of the Night, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Dynasty Warriors, Diablo, Fallout, Tomb Raider 2, Mega Man Legends, GoldenEye, Turok, Wing Commander Prophecy, Star Fox 64, Einhander, Tobal 2, Bushido Blade, Colony Wars, Ultima Online. Was a great year to start working at Funcoland.

You beat me to it. I loved both years, but 97 was one of my favorite years ever.

Marcello625d ago

2013 was a good year too. Dead Space 3, The Last of Us, GTA5, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Tomb Raider reboot, Bioshock Infinite, Batman: Arkham Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Grid 2 & more.

Limitedtimestruggle624d ago

Dead Space 3? That game only deserves to be on rock-bottom lists. In my honest opinion.

Marcello624d ago

Its is very Marmite that game but to me it was only that love story nonsense that was bad, really bad.
