I remember running around Lara's mention quite a bit in Tomb Raider 2. Other than that, I feel the series has got stale.

It has to be the original Resident Evil on PS1. Capcom nailed it first time with excellent gloomy atmosphere and music; The Spencer Mansion is truly unforgettable. Honorable mention goes to Eternal Darkness.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it (I'm looking at you, Mega Drive II).

I am possibly in a minority here, but I find myself skipping the homebrew pages. If something catches my eye I would read it, but I don't really take the time to look over every game as it really doesn't interest me that much. I really like the inclusion of Conversion Capers on game features. Genera...

For me, Goldeneye. Really the first console FPS that I enjoyed. Multiplayer was truely fantastic and still holds up today.

My mate owned F-Zero, and I can remember the scenery outside of some tracks looking like a pixelated mess. It was only recently I found out that this mess was supposed to be a city. Still, really good game but a little too repetitive.

I am pretty sure it was Fantasy World Dizzy. I had the original Dizzy on a crash tape. Virgin Megastores used to stock codemasters ZX tapes, and that is where I picked up my first (non-pirated) single ZX game on cassette.

Picked this up in Easons today. Seems to have a lot of content from the past year's Retro Gamer monthly mag. I understand that this is the nature of these bookazines but being a subscriber only for the last 16 months or so, I was hoping for older content from past mags. Still a great bookazine thoug...

My most recent Mega Drive games bundle was a nice bargain for £5. Managed to get Quackshot, Eternal Champions, Castle of Illusion, Mortal Kombat 2 and Chiki Chiki boys. Noice.

Sonic The Hedgehog's transition into 3D games. Painful.

The music! And completing later levels thinking "there must have been an easier method than this!"

I too think the cover is great. One of my favourites actually!

Nice amount of content here that I'm looking forward to digging into. Sonic R has always interested me for some strange reason, and the Making of Resident Evil Remake looks great. Good job!

I collect, although not as much as I used to. With ebay and online trading sites, it can be quite addictive hunting down games and receiving them in the post. I found though that I was buying for the sake of buying, I wasn't playing these games I was purchasing. I like retro box art and that is some...

Keeping the core gameplay and adding some spice can work. HD upgrades are nice, and a remixed soundtrack can be welcoming (see Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix). On the flipside, some remakes are not so great (see Flashback) due to trying to hard, or taking away the nostalgia factor with going overbo...

It will be unpopular here, but Battlefield 3. I was never really into FPS at all, but found Battlefield's levelling-up system to be addictive. Also, the game is accessible for us FPS amateurs, with room to become great. Don't hate the player....
