Taken from IM PLAYIN
"Welcome to the first of our retro reviews!
When we started IM PLAYIN we wanted to talk about any games we were playing at any time, whether they be old or new, and it’s still something we make sure to do all the time. But with the Vita and other such platforms providing access to a wide arrange of classics, it seems a wasted opportunity to not give these special games their own place on the site. Looking at these games there are many ways to judge how they hold up today, and I for one won’t be looking at graphics in the slightest, instead focusing on gameplay and the ability to provide me with a challenge combined with the satisfaction of the victory. At the end of the day, a game has to entertain, and old games can do that just as well as they always have."
For many, the game became the sound of the 90s – but Josh Mancell tells us how the music for PlayStation’s first mascot game originated in Kraft cheese and Kraftwerk
Brendan O’Brien, the voice actor behind the original Crash Bandicoot and several other characters featured in the classic Naughty Dog trilogy of games on PlayStation, died on March 23.
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.
I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!
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.

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.
Dead Space 3? That game only deserves to be on rock-bottom lists. In my honest opinion.
Its is very Marmite that game but to me it was only that love story nonsense that was bad, really bad.
i liked #3 the best but the first was a classic. one of the only games where you would want to kill your family member over the controller to play.
