Video Games Worth Playing

Mario Strikers Charge, WII

Mario strikers charge is a great game, with a superb twist on soccer games with sound effects and power ups.

The game is outstanding in it’s creative level of thinking and I really enjoy ‘charging’ the ball up before shooting.

Age of Empires (Nintendo DS)

I was stuck at my inlaws recently for the weekend – but luckily had this game with me. It plays very well on the NDS and is great fun as you build your town, train your soldiers and make plans to squash the enemy.

It reminds of me of an old Atari ST game which was similar, but this of course is more involved.

I love it so much I think I’m going to get the PC version!

Gauntlet

Just an awesome game from 1984 – the first interactive-between-strangers arcade game I played.

Great fun and team game…the first of it’s kind.

Battle your way thru the levels 4 player.

Lots of button bashing and Californian voice overs.

If you missed Gauntlet in the arcade, you can download MAME for the PC and play it or a JAVA online version here.

Tetris – the daddy of all video games

Tetris is an awesome block building game. Keep building lines which can be sent to your opponent in 2 player mode.

I just can’t stress how excellent this game is – although Tetris Worlds was royally cocked up on the NDS and Gameboy…the best version is Dreamcast for sure.

The ultimate in video games – in 100 years we’ll still be playing this game.

Gran Turismo

Just awesome in every aspect. Gran Turismo 4 is a full on driving simulator. It’s as life like as you’re going to get and is used by under 16s competitive racing drivers as training tool.

Choose from many amazing cars from around the world, tune them up, change suspension settings etc.

Probably the best feature is the Nurburgring….fantastic training aid to allow you to learn the track before driving the real thing. It helped me immensely when I got on the real circuit.

Essential to play with the Playseat and steering wheel.

10/10.

Supersprint

Just an awesome little game, I still love playing it till this day.

Lots of little tracks ’scaletrix’ style await you in this driving game.

Unlike most driving games, it plays well with keyboard or joypad and is in fact harder to play with steering wheel in the arcade machine version.

Available for the Atari ST, it was a big hit back in the mid 80s, both on computer and in the arcade.

Now you can enjoy it on the MAME emulator in all it’s glory on your PC.

Get playing it’s fantastic!
