Ummm....Pass.

Good. All they have now is Turn 10, Twisted Pixel, and 343 Industries. I know they have more studios, but Rare is ass, Epic isn't even theirs, Lionhead has lost all of their lead talent, and pretty much all Kinect games are garbage, save for a few.

Go for games like Uniracers, Mortal Kombat 2, Super Metroid, Rock N' Roll Racing, Super Mario World, F-Zero, Aladdin, Firepower 2000, and Super Smash T.V.

Be wary of RPG's (unless those are your thing) because they cost way too much, and they are very archaic. Personally, I love Phantasy Star II. Best 16-bit RPG imo, but I don't want to play it again. The grinding and the difficulty of those older RPG's are ridiculous by today's standards.

I feel the biggest thing about Mortal Kombat, and most fighting games really, they require a lot from people. I had always played the SNES versions of MK before I bought MK9 for the 360. At first glance, the game is just sexy and is fun to play. The game is awesome, but the elements surrounding it SUCK. Story mode was way too hard even on Very Easy (I played Normal to the first Shao Kahn fight with Liu Kang), as the fights against Shao Kahn are just ridiculous unless you use a character that has a projectile.

Also the online situation was just, and still is, broken and just shitty. For beginners who are just trying to get a feel for the game, most go to the Beginner's only room. But lo and behold, guess who else is in that room? Yeah. People who know what they are doing, to say the least. You don't have to accept invites, but its still tiresome. And all the disconnecting from matches...... it's just not worth it.

I love Mortal Kombat 9, but it's hard to like if you can't appreciate that those factors aren't part of the game. Just like anything else, you get what you put in. I don't think those new to MK will put in anything to be honest, except maybe a different game disk.

FEZ was an awesome game.

Which one do you mean? Tides of Time was the second in the series. But whichever one it is, they are both are hard as hell. The second one made you do those weird ass rings underwater like the pseudo-3D mode in the Sonic 2 co-op. Not only was it sickening, but if you fucked up too many times, you had to start over. That was infuriating. Ecco is still an awesome series on the Genesis; and a part of me always considered Ecco as Sega's answer to Metroid because they both had those feelings of claustrophobia and isolation .

1. Super Hang On
2. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
3. Streets of Rage 2
4. Phantasy Star II
5. Sub-terrania

Dead Island was awesome. But I also really liked when they played the Atari 2600 games and the Saturn stuff.

Play the Uncharted series (really cliched but production values are astounding), Demon's Souls, Wipeout HD, God of War III, LittleBigPlanet, and Infamous.

I just found WWF No Mercy for 10$. It was one of my most frequent rentals as a child, this game is sweet.

Follow my example!

You kinda overpaid.......

But games you should get, I would say Blast Corps, WWF No Mercy, Extreme G, Star Fox 64, and Banjo Kazooie. If you can play Conker somehow I would go for it, but it's really expensive.
