Old games I still want to play

Games that are from the last console generation and back that I never played, and still kinda want to.
 
I expect a lot of these wont retain the same magic that made them great originally. I can always hope for the best though.

List items

  • ***I played and beat this game. It was awesome.*** Of course the Endurance Run is what sparked my interest in this game. Vinny seems to like it, so I want to try it. This is the PSP version, I realize that. It's just that I would rather play this updated version than have to track down an older PS2 version. Should be essentially the same game.

  • This looks interesting. Thanks to Jeff for linking to it in his Platinum Games article.

  • I am deeply saddened at my lack of... well, PLAYING this game. I love the Zelda series, what is wrong with me?

  • I actually own this game and am yet to play it. I hear it's pretty good, yo.

  • I have played about... 5 minutes of this game. It was good so far. A lot like Oblivion which is a definite plus. Need to get on this one quick as it seemed a bit aged even in only 5 minutes time when I played it last.

  • I hear good things. Very good things. :P

  • I, for some reason, have a thing for arty games. This looks right up my ally.

  • I think I heard Ryan talk about this at one point. It sounded really cool. I hope I can still find this somewhere.

  • The quick look of this had me really interested. I like ambitious games, even if they don't quite live up to their potential.

  • I definitely want to go back and check these first Fallout games out. Both 1 and 2 seem to be universally loved so I thought I should probably start with the original.

  • Ever since I heard Brad rave about this on the GOTY 2008 podcast, I have been very interested. I want to see what all the fuss was about.

  • Some people say this is their favorite game of all time. They're probably a little crazy, but I still really want to check it out.

  • That's right, I never played Viewtiful Joe. I'm not entirely sure that it's my cup of tea, but I've always felt the need to at least try it. Hopefully I can sometime soon.

  • I already have Shadow of the Colossus on this list, but I want to play this as well. From what I hear it's a little less action-oriented, but that's no big deal. I really want to see for myself why these games are so loved.

  • Scary games can be fun. A GB user recommended this, but sadly I don't remember who it was. Thanks though, mystery user!

  • Thanks to RVonE for recommending this! Must play it! Exclamation points!(!)

I always wanted to play Eternal Darkness, but never just never got around to it. Maybe one day I will.

Yeah, it seems pretty alright. Who knows how it will hold up after so many years though.

I used to have P.N. 03. and kinda regret selling it.
 
While it felt like it needed a few more months of polish, the overall look of the game was pretty sweet. I really dug the stark, clinical feel of the levels.

Metal Gear Solid did not age well. Anyone who tells you otherwise is wearing nostalgia goggles. Twin Snakes on the Gamecube re-energizes it enough to be playable, if you are willing to put up with the horrible voice acting and dialogue. 
 
As someone who dislikes JRPGs with very few exceptions, I would highly suggest Tales of Symphonia. I only ever played the first disc (it was lent to me by a friend who had lost the second CD), but I played it all the way to the end of that disc, which is about 20 hours more playtime than I usually spend on a JRPG before getting bored. I've been told by a friend who is a Tales enthusiast that Abyss was even better.
 
Viewtiful Joe was magic, simple as that. Get it and its even-better sequel, VJ2 as soon as you can. The art style mixed with the excellent combo-based combat and the hilarious dialogue and premise are so perfectly blended that both games are truly greater than the sums of their parts.
