I’m not sure why, but all of a sudden I’m way into last gen games. It started three weeks ago when I literally dusted off my old Xbox, PS2, and Game cube. I would like to say that my recent interest in last gen gaming is due to the fact that I am currently broke and I’m not able to buy new video games, but that is not actually the case. The fact of the matter is that I’ve kind of woken up to the fact that old games are still good games, and it some cases they are truly great games.
So what am I playing right now? Well last week I picked up a copy of Resident Evil 4 for PS2. It’s been said that RE4 is the scariest game of all time, it’s also been called one of the greatest games of all time. I’ve heard people say, don’t play this game late at night in the dark. So yeah, I’ve been playing it late at night in the dark, and yeah it is a pretty creepy game. The only other game that I’ve ever played that I consider somewhat scary is Doom 3. As a matter of fact I’m currently playing Doom 3 aswell. The other PS2 game that I bought last week with RE4 was Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence. Seeing as how I don’t have a PS3, I needed to get my Metal Gear fix from somewhere.
While sifting through my personal collection of last gen games I was surprised at how many awesome games I have, but have hardly ever played. This is my list of shame-
Ratchet and Clank: Up your arsenal. An awesome game, why the hell am I not playing it right now?
Prince of Persia/Sands of Time. I think I played this game for less than a half hour
God of War. One of the greatest games of all time, and I never got past the first boss
GTA San Andreas. Left off somewhere in the middle of the game. so much gang violence, so little time
GTA Vice City. I’m not even sure where I left off in this game
Legend of Zelda/The Wind Waker. Umm, it’s a good game, but I may eBay this one soon.
Mario Sunshine. See Above
Star Was Knights of the Old Republic. This was my first attempt at playing an RPG, lets just say that the force was not with me.
Ninja Gaiden. Great game, boss fights are hard as hell, broke at least one controller playing this back in the day
SSX3. Pure fun, I just bought Amped 3 for 360 the other day. It’s got nothing on SSX3
ESPN NFL2K5. The legend, the classic, oh what could have been, but the EA fascist death star bought the NFL license and subsequently ruined video game football.
MVP 2005. A baseball classic, nuff said.
NBA Street 2. The only NBA street game that is worth a shit. This game has the music, the announcer, the gameplay, and most of all this game has “Stretch”. I reminisce over this game, and trouble T Roy.

hey I agree. Older games are better. I dont have a PS2 or Xbox, but my friend does, and I’ve played them: there great games. The Gamecube is a real good game, and Im even trying to get Nintendo to get it back up and running, since the damned Wii ruined it. I don’t wanna advertise on your blog so I won’t give a URL to the petition.
