WC: "No time was more magical for gamers than the 90s, it was a time when games were still a little wobbly on their feet as technology fought to catch up with the grand ideas of developers. Today, graphical fidelity is astounding, but it’s not astounding enough to make us forget those early years where every new world was filled with exciting discoveries that we would go on to cherish for the rest of our lives.
Games have a unique and powerful trick up their sleeves when it comes to connecting with an audience in a way that film, television or books simply cannot. This being the fact that the player does not simply observe a world and its story – they become a part of the world and a central figure in the story. Video games afford the player levels of freedom and interaction not possible in other mediums, and so they often find themselves on a fast-track to the deepest places in our hearts, like cats and fireworks… or Shigeru Miyamoto."
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.
What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.
A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.
IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.
Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.
But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.
But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.
Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

🧛🔥🔥 🔥
No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.
I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.
Alot of these I have thankfully in my memories with the exception of the games that showed up that I never owned.
Favorites being the Mosquito ride, and the Butler haha Great times.
I've experienced all those with the exception of 14, 13, 9, 8 & 5.
really? "click next to continue reading" i wonder how many clicks and ad revenue they miss out on simply beacuse of greed, and one click not being enough.
this list brings some awesome memories back.
I like the title. i feel privilidged having been part of the gaming's golden years.
