    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    Anybody knowledgeable about PS1-era fighting games? I have no clue of the name, but my most distinctive memory was playing a wyvern-type creature and spamming an attack where I'd fly up and spew flame. So little to work with, and my Giant Bomb search has proved fruitless :/

    Poll: Do you trust user reviews?

    I think you're overgeneralising. Yes, there are a lot of pretty underwhelming reviews people post, but I don't find it that hard to find decent ones. Obviously, at the end of a day, a review is going to boil down to an opinion, but a fair reviewer should be able to justify their opinions with...

    Poll: Top 11 most underrated games I?ve ever played

    I've argued for quite a while that the 6th generation got by far the best dose of Star Wars games ever. Lego Star Wars and the Battlefront series are probably the most famous, but even lesser-known examples like Bounty Hunter are fun. I've definitely got more pleasure out of the games than the...

    Poll: Top 11 most underrated games I?ve ever played

    Far as I know, Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (you might know it as Sheep Raider) has never been re-released in any official form. If I had reason to believe otherwise, I'd tell you to buy it and support the creators of such a wonderful experience, but I sadly don't think that's the case. Shame. I...

    Poll: Top 11 most underrated games I?ve ever played

    Great to hear. And I don't mind you skipping the Second Sight segment, since it's my belief that once you decide you're going to play or see something, you should avoid learning anything else about it. Going in blind is always the best way, from my experience. I do recall now that Second Sight...

    Poll: Top 11 most underrated games I?ve ever played

    Top 11 most underrated games I?ve ever played Prologue Yes, I?m doing one of these. After the?questionable?results of my attempt at listing my top ten most OVERrated games, I realised it would make a lot of sense to list their opposites as well. After all, I?m a generally positive sorta...

    Poll: Obligatory list of my favourite games of 2011

    ***DISCLAIMER*** This little list was originally posted to my blog. It was made with that audience in mind and so there's a bit of assumed knowledge here and there. Bear that in mind. And in case it wasn't obvious enough, any list like this is merely the author's opinion and I'll never claim...

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    Very true. I do remind you that I'm not particularly pleased with the product of my labour, but I was just really trying to say that some people claim to have found some worth in it. Fragmented, rambling and over-opinionated though it may be, at least a few have found enough about it interesting...

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    Fair enough. And it's certainly true that we've all been repeating ourselves in this thread. Kind of wish I could move on with my life and onto better pieces of writing. Thanks for meaning well, all the same.

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    A whole bunch of small flaws can form a big problem, I think you'll agree. Obviously, the entire list is my own opinion, as made clear several times, but you're right that this fact alone doesn't make it immune to criticism. Even so, I felt that the problems mentioned added up to significantly...

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    Valid points as ever, but I still think you're looking a bit too deeply into it. For one thing, I didn't find the piece terribly easy; as stated before, I'm much more used to writing positively, so such an epic rant was actually difficult in places. Despite my misgivings, some folk have said...

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    Well, seems like common decency to answer questions. Plus most folk I've talked to seem to accept that I'm not the frothing-at-the-mouth fanboy they might have assumed I was from the original post. Not to mention all the advice I've received during this whole affair. A very profitable exercise...

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    Hooray. I can be fast to assume the worst of people, as evidenced during this whole incident. Still, at least it allowed for a pleasant surprise. Next time I post here, I'll have a bit more faith in folk and only bring the Death Star to bear if driven to it. I'm a changed man and all that :D

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    I don't dwell on BioShock's story a whole lot, but there probably are considerable gaps I've never paid enough attention to notice. I was too busy wishing the RPG elements were less superfluous, but you know all about my opinions on the game by now. Rockstar are definitely hit-and-miss, but...

    Poll: Top 10 most overrated games I?ve ever played *WALL OF TEXT AHOY!*

    A number of folk said the list's size made my more appropriate for a blog than a forum, so I thought to add the explanation of its origin and a link to my blog. I'd hoped the forum's rules on links had been relaxed over the years, but apparently not. That's what the flag was about, not some...
