Games I recommend
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2003 5:58 pm
Now that I'm working at a video game store, I can recommend all sorts of games!
For you GCN owners, I strongly recommend you look into either renting or buying "Viewtiful Joe." It's only on GCN, so you xBox people are out of luck. It's without a doubt the only game I've played with that much style. The visual effects are outstanding. The game is like a 2D platformer, but with much more style. It's really hard to explain it, so you need to go and rent it.
Another good game that you should look into is "The Simpsons: Hit and Run" for all three systems. It's literally the Simpson's meets Grand Theft Auto. There's tons of new dialog for the game, plus tons of little elements that Simpson's fans would pick up on in an instant. One of my favorites are a set of billboards that say "Now leaving area code '939'" and "Welcome to area code '636'." The cars range from Marge's Canyonaro to Cletus' pickup, to the Honor Roller, to even Grampa's Willys Jeep. It's just an awesomely fun game, and I would recommend it to anybody who likes the Simpsons, GTA, or both.
"CastlevaniaL Lament of Innocence" stands up to the Castlevania linneage. I haven't played it yet, but from what I've heard, it's great.
That's about it. I'll keep up to see what I can find out about new stuff.
