The PC needs more Katamari love. Inject it and it's soundtracks right into my veins.
Started playing a few days before Kevin Conroy passed so by the end of the game it was a very bittersweet experience. Combat felt not as fluid as it did back in the day before the sequels ironed out a lot of the kinks but that atmosphere is unmatched. Scarecrows segments are right out of a Kojima game. Just as much fun as it was back in 2009 even with all the aged parts.

Ghost's last outing with the NFS franchise was a good but flawed one. A lot more positives than Payback. Loved the entire atmosphere and visuals, good customisation and like all good NFS games I was able to take my starter car (180sx) all the way to the end where it flourished into a beautiful Sileighty. The cops were fucking brutal however and I absolutely hated the drift handling
2015
There is no game series like Yakuza, It's truly something amazing and every entry has something great to add to the franchise. It's my favourite game series alongside Metal Gear. Buy the ticket and take the ride.

This, Pokemon Fire Red and Mario Kart Super Circuit are probably the GBA games I played the most as a kid. Many hours sunk into this game during holidays with my family, sadly it does not hold up great. The first half of the game is great but the latter half is padded with bottomless pits, annoying enemies and god awful bosses (looking at you X-Zone's third Robotnik fight.) Whilst I would still say it's worth a go... I do see now why I was so jealous of my friend who had Sonic Advance 3 instead.

If you're after a hidden gem try this, fun puzzles, Interesting story and setting, great characters... Really nice game to play during Winter or Christmas. Mix of Fargo and Twin Peaks
If you can source yourself a copy it's definately worth it. One of the most creative driving games out there, really nice cockpit view and animations, car selection and style in general. Criminally underrated.

A fucking amazingly presented, technically refined game. Amazing soundtrack that features a track from the legendary Hideki Naganuma of Jet Set Radio fame. If you want a really fun time you owe it to yourself to run a few sets of this with a friend.
Some people have their own set thoughts on what a Need For Speed game should give you. For me it's being able to take a starter car all the way till the final race, in my case it was a Civic... which I tacked a bunch of shit on. Whilst I wouldn't want it in most Need For Speed games but the fact you can only have one car at any given time makes you feel really attached to the car you drive.
Pros:
+ One of the best senses of speed in a racing game
+ Amazing Atmosphere and Legendary Soundtrack
+ Good Length and Replay Value
+ All time classic of the genre
Cons:
- Absolutely Unforgiving AI Rubberbanding
- In true early 2000s tuning culture most visual upgrades look horrendous and tacky
- Traffic AI can be absolutely brain dead, most noticeable in the drag races where you dont have full control of your car

Started off promising minus the awful speedcard upgrade system, over the time the handling feels worse, characters grate and the game commits multiple racing game sins. A sin that comes to mind is having a drag race with multiple sharp and windy turns more suited to a drift event.

There's a reason why I own two Jet Set Radio t-shirts, a Jet Set Radio hoodie and 2Mello's inspired album Memories of Tokyo-To on vinyl... I fucking love the whole energy, sound and visuals of this game, and have done since I was a kid.
The actual game is pretty janked and you really do have to sort of tune into the jank if you wanna beat it, but it's still really satisfying.

Decent snowboarding sandbox and quite a suprisingly entertaining mission mode.
2018
A huge love letter to the franchise and one of the most visually stunning fighting games I've ever played or seen.
2012
Probably one of the most underrated shooters ever made. Amazing voice acting all around and its got Mike Patton in it doing demonic growls and banshee screeches. I'd honestly love to see the first one get thrown up on steam one day, even if the gameplay wasn't as polished as this, hell even a third entry.
Extremely overpriced but a really competent RPG full of nice little references that hardcore fans will dial in on, always happy to see more references to the original Dragon Ball series.
