Gonna give the Beach Head Let's play a blast. Got My C64 Emulator ready.

Hmmm. It's probably easier to show new gamers what is fun to play than what NOT to play. Here are my 5 games to keep away from new gamers. E.T. -Utter tripe that nearly destroyed the Industry. Rise of the robots -Worst case of overhyped rubbish ever. Karnov -Perfect proof that even arcade games had ...

New: I'm a BIG wrestling fan but Wrestlemainia 21 on the Xbox is just downright poor. Linear storyline modes, unforgivable gamplay and bugs and glitches and a TERRIBLE online mode show this game up for what it is. Just as well that I got a PS2 with Smackdown v Raw 2007. Now THATS a wrestling game. O...

Get Ghostbusters 2 on ALL formats Retroshamed. I payed £10 for the C64 version and regret it to this very day. 3 mini games and none were really any good. PLEASE, PLEASE, get this pile of dung retroshamed.

And what about Karnov? That was crap!!!

For me it's gotta be Super Star Wars on the SNES. Took a while to get into but once you start playing as Han Solo and Chewie you start to get the Star Wars vibe going.

I copped for Superman 64 when I bought an N64 off E Bay last year. Suffice to say I played it for 5 mins then turned it off in disgust. It has never seen the light of day in my N64 cart slot ever since.

Tis a steaming pile of gaming poo!.

Hmm, I'm gonna put a couple of Ideas forward. 1. Karnov. What the bloody were Data East thinking of churning this unplayable, Uncontrolable turd of a game out into the arcades??? No wonder the home ports were utter drivel if the Coin op is anything to go by! 2.Simpsons Wrestling. This game was a tot...

Hmmm, Where do I start. Bubble Bobble Used to eat up all of my time when I was younger on the C64. More recently Pro evo soccer games, Burnout 3 takedown & Doom 3 all on X-Box have taken up TONS of my time. :P

Last game I finished was Doom 3 on Xbox. The end of game Boss was surprisingly easy to beat.

Last Sunday I bought Virtua Tennis 3, Far Cry & POP: Sands of Time for PC. All For £15.

All these tunes and no-one has mentioned the brilliant hi score input tune from Arkanoid.

If you want an example of modern end of game boss let downs, the Cyberdemon from Doom3 is patheticly easy to beat. Basically, you fight him in a doughnut shaped arena, and use the soul cube to take him out, He's realy slow so getting extra kills to top your soul cube up via the imps that come out of...

Hmmm. The Rock never did tell anyone what he was cookin.

WWF No Mercy (N64). Best wrestling game ever made. Tons of moves and match modes. Bubble Bobble (arcade) Put simply, One of THE best platformers in the history of games. Doom (PC) Hours of fun going on killing sprees and great level design. Mario Kart (SNES) This game needs NO Explanation as to why ...
