What Games Remind You Of The Holidays?

Jerry from BagoGames says, "The holidays are now upon us and it’s finally the time when a whole bunch of new games out… all at once. Not only is this a time for gamers to pad their shelves for the upcoming year, but for a majority of gamers there is also more spare time than normal to enjoy some extra […]

Twisted Metal, the original. The Twisted Metal "10th Anniversary" contest took place in LA during 24th Dec 2005. There a lot of Xmas trees and decorations around some of the city levels. Even the music has a twisted Xmas ring to it like this one https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Merry Christmas, Let’s Look At the Die Hard Games

Did the games make people want to say "Yippie ki yay?" Not exactly.

Die Hard Trilogy on the PS1 is the GOAT DH game.

It was also kinda crazy to think it had 3 entirely different types of game in it. Driving, third person shooter and a rail / light gun shooter.

Becuzisaid516d ago

Truly an incredible game, against all odds. DH1 got pretty reprove toward the end, but the other 2 we're short enough to keep the fun up.

Snookies12516d ago

Absolutely, the Die Hard Trilogy was a must-own title for PS1 back in the day! Had so much fun with it, and I wasn't even a really big Die Hard movie fan back then.

Eidolon516d ago

Was watching some gameplay, games look like a blast. Don't think you have to even have heard of Die Hard to enjoy them. I mean, what's being a fan going to help besides the initial purchase.. movie games hardly have much correlation to the source material, design choices are usually all over the place.

RetroCaptainSteve514d ago

It was a quintessential release. Which is why it boggles me how the sequel fell apart so quickly.

I had the Scorpion light gun for this game. It was awesome. Loved all 3 back in the day.

HeliosHex516d ago

For me die hard trilogy was the best one. They should actually do another one in memory of Bruce Willis. Sad what happened to him.

AirRevenant515d ago

They skipped the old PC game where Caps Lock turned on God mode. We played that a ton.

Oblivion's Creepiest Quest Still Freaks Me Out

From The Gamer: "The first time I played Oblivion, I found the village of Hackdirt completely by accident. I was aimlessly wandering the forests south of Chorrol and stumbled upon a scattering of dingy-looking houses, overgrown and surrounded by the charred remains of buildings razed by some great inferno. I talked to the locals and the vibe was immediately off. Usually the townsfolk you meet in Oblivion are chatty, friendly sorts, eager to spill juicy rumours or give you directions. But it was obvious that the creepy residents of Hackdirt did not want me, or anyone else, hanging around.

It wasn't until much later, after picking up a quest called A Shadow Over Hackdirt, that the grim truth about this place revealed itself. When you first arrive in Chorrol, a friendly Argonian named Dar-Ma approaches you. She welcomes you to the town, and you're given the option to either rudely tell her to mind her own business or be friendly back to her. Return to Chorrol a few in-game days after this encounter and a new rumour will be flying around about Dar-Ma's mysterious disappearance, leading you to a store owned by her mother called Northern Goods and Trade."

I don't know if this opinion article will get a lot of clicks but kudos on making one with some effort behind it.

You know what REALLY haunts me to this day?... How bad the gameplay was in Oblivion.

mkis007730d ago

A Playstation studios calibur remake of Oblivion and New Vegas would be a dream come true.

generic-user-name730d ago

The quests of Oblivion were leaps and bounds more interesting than those of Skyrim, my biggest disappointment with that game. A lot of Oblivion's stories felt like they were really well thought out and impactful. If they ever remake it (not Skyblivion, that mod will already be 10 years too old by the time it comes out) to modern standards then sign me up for a Game Pass sub.

The Rotten Core of Bethesda RPGs

Systems are tweaked here and there, level-up systems are overhauled, some have romance options and some don’t, but calling something a Bethesda RPG would likely give someone all the information about a game that they could really need. This wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing; after all, the same could be said about the SoulsBorne games. The problem is that the core that these games are built around simply isn’t very good.
