wat the-

I maintain this is valid. I still love the game, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't look that great these days, some of the levels feel a lot smaller, and the camera, dear God the camera...

I disagree, I think Mario 64 holds up very well, and the chunky graphics are in its favour.

Can I just shock you? I like Mario 64 despite what I just said. I think it has aged better than Sunshine

Top 5 times I've been driven to gaming rage

1. Running out of air underwater in Sonic
2. Dying for the hundredth time trying to beat the last boss in Gears of War
3. Any of the many completely luck based levels in Super Monkey Ball 2
4. Trying to play GTA 5 online as a noob and being blown up multiple times in seconds
5. People that throw the boxes of their games away

I haven't played Sunshine in ages so this might well be true.

6. The tutorial in Driver.

Only Balladeer's sister was ever known to have completed it, but then she accidentally deleted the save file every single time.

I think I did it on something like the ninth attempt.

Top 5 questionable things I've done in games

1. Taking random women off the streets and stowing them in the boot of my car - Sleeping Dogs

2. Kicking folk in the nuts and beating them with a purple dildo whilst in the nude - Saints Row The Third

3. Using the 'pump' emote way too often in multiplayer - Uncharted 2

4. Recharging my beam katana - No More Heroes

5. Throwing food items (and sometimes bricks) into the backs of people's heads - GTA IV

Top 5 Games of 2017, the Best Year for Games Ever:

1. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2. Super Mario Odyssey
3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2
4. Metroid: Samuel (cheers autocorrect) Returns
5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Cheeky Wii U port at the end (nice to have a working battle mode though) but otherwise, what an absolutely stonking year for Nintendo. And I haven't mentioned ARMS, or Splatoon 2, or the Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga remake (still really good!), or WarioWare Gold... Just phenomenal.

Four first person shooters and one wii game sums up circa 2007 pretty well!

Pretty reductive to call all those games first person shooters!

At least I didn't put Modern Warfare in there... :dread:

They are in first person and you shoot things, what more do you want
