My Gaming Week Version 4 (Week of 09-13-09)

This is uploaded on a Friday, because I won't be home the rest of the weekend.

Beyond Oasis (PS3 via Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection)-

I've still got the original Sega Genesis version if this game too. As far as Zelda clones go, this one is one of the best ones out there. I haven't played super far into it yet, but that's because I've been playing other games more, but if you've got a Sega Genesis, beyond Oasis is a great buy. If you've got a PS3/Xbox 360 , then Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is a must for oldschool gaming fans. It's got a ton of great Genesis games, and even a few unlockable greats like the original Arcade version of Shinobi, and Golden Axe Warrior (which is a pretty blatant Zelda rip off for the Master System that I wanted to play, but is rather pricey which takes another game I want for the MS off the list). The whole collection is easily the best retro collection on the PS3/Xbox 360.


Bioshock (PS3)-

Can you believe that aside from the demo (which took forever to download off of Xbox live, because everyone was downloading the crap out of it) I still had not played Bioshock. It was just one of those games that eluded me, but there I saw it for a mere $20 at my local Wal Mart for the PS3 version, and I decided that it was finally time to get it.

This is the main game I've been playing this week. It's awesome, and one of if not the best game this gen. If more games this gen were even the tiniest bit as open as games like Bioshock, I may actually like this gen of gaming. As of right now it's a big meh, but games like this give me hope.

I actually bought the original System Shock years ago, and have yet to successfully get it to work on my computer. The game's a pain in the butt to get to run. I also really want to get my hands on System Shock 2. I've got a free demo of it on my computer, but it's not the same as owing the whole thing.


Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (N64)-

This is still the best Turok game IMO. The others lost the feel of this game, and aren't as good IMO. Even the new Turok (which is Turok in name only) doesn't compare to this game IMO.

After playing some bot matches in Turok 3 I had the huge urge to play the original again. I forgot just how large the levels were in this game. The only thing is that I never find all the keys, so I have to redo the levels which is kinda annoying. That's usally just where I throw on the cheats, but no this time. I've actually never beaten this game without cheating.

The cheats are so fun to play around with though. This is one of those games where cheating helps improve the fun. You can either play through it seriously, or you can have a lot of fun playing around with the cheats. It gives you two ways to have a blast.


Turok: Rage Wars (N64)-

I finally ordered this one off of Amazon. It's like Quake III or Unreal Tournament where it doesn't focus on a single player campaign, but instead focuses only on multiplayer. It does have a SP campaign of sorts, but like QIII and UT it's just an extension of the MP.

So far I'm really liking this one. It beats the hell out of that turd of a bot DM that's in Turok 3. If you've got four friends, or just like bot deathmatch, Turok Rage wars on the N64 is worth a look. That is if you still have an N64.

Bioshock has great visuals and an exceptional art design, but System Shock 2's gameplay is vastly superior. To take just one example, the RPG/character development aspects of SS2 are much more complex and interesting (and requires the player to make much harder choices about what to upgrade) than the weak plasmid powerup system in BS. Also, while BioShock can sometimes get fairly creepy, it's nothing compared with the bone-chilling survival horror experience of SS2...

That's why I really want to get my hands on a copy of System Shock 2, and I want to figure out how to get my copy of the original System Shock running, because even with dosbox, it's a pain in the *** to get running.

lol thts so old and gay

the N64 turok games were the best, u can tell some of the art and design cross over to the metroid prime series.

I've just bought myself a PS2 for all my PS2 and PS1 gaming needs. Because honestly this gen's game simply cannot amuse me. The only games I bother playing through are the ones that are of series I've followed since PS1/PS2 and often they aren't too good either. Other PS3 games are mostly boring and doesn't give me the will to play all the way through.

So now I'm gonna use this new PS2 to reexperience the good times when games were challenging and fun!

Beyond Oasis, hell yeah, I love the game's soundtrack.

[RiouInsuiko]

I always thought Turok Seeds of Evil was the best for Nintendo 64, however I can understand if you had played one before that, you got a diffrent first impression of it.
