Nintendo 64 games




I've owned a N64 a few years ago so I will be able
to review some of these games better




Zelda: Ocarina of Time

  • This is one of the best games for N64 (apart from Super Smash Bros that also rocks)
  • You are this boy with a faery and you have to go and do missions and stuff to save the princess, you've probably heard of this game before, it's way too famous
  • You start playing as a boy and then, after going to the Temple of Time, you will be playing as an adult and going through different temples to get the medallions
  • In-game there are a lot of mini-games like finding the stones, some with catching chickens, shooting arrows while riding the horse, etc


Zelda: Majora's Mask

  • Another game of the Zelda series
  • This one is a little bit different from the rest of Zeldas because you have to play against the clock
  • There is a time limit in which you have to beat the game, otherwise, you can use a song to rewind time but you will loose part of your progress (that is what I remember from las time I played)
  • You also have to use a lot of masks for different assignments, people will also have different reactions depending on the mask that you are using at that time


Super Smash Bros

  • One of my favorite games of all times
  • You can play single player of multiplayer
  • In single player mode you will have to beat all the characters in the game and depending the difficulty you play on you will be able to unlock other characters
  • On multiplayer mode you can play with a friend against the computer or play against your friends
  • Each character has different abilities so you have to know what strategy you will be using to beat the other players
  • I would recommend this game to ANYONE


Conker's Bad Fur Day

  • This is one of the funniest games I've ever played
  • Conker is this squirrel that had a crazy night and got drunk and now needs to get home but he will find many obstacles along his way like huge poops, sunflowers with huge breasts, crazy bees, etc
  • Just watch this video and you will know what I'm talking about :P


GoldenEye 007

  • Goldeneye, has to be one of the revolutionary first person shooter games
  • Depending on the difficulty you play you will have different missions to accomplish among levels
  • You can use different gadgets and weapons like snipers, Glocks, Ak47, magnetic watches, grenades and MANY more
  • You can also unlock cheats by beating some levels under certain conditions, normally its under a time limit which sometimes can be almost impossible to achieve
  • You can also play with your friends in multiplayer mode


Mario Kart

  • One of the best kart games ever
  • You can choose a variety of characters and go either to race mode or battle mode
  • In race mode you can choose different tracks and win cups
  • Battle mode is also very fun, you have three balloons and using weapons you have to get rid of the balloons from other players, last person standing is the winner


Star Fox 64

  • First of all... something I've always wanted to know... is Slippy male or female? :S
  • You start off at Corneria and have to make you way to battle Andross, but be careful and choose your path or you can fight a false Andross ;)
  • One of the best things about this game is to win medals on different planets, you do this by killing the most amounts of enemies
  • Sometimes to make more enemies appear you have to do different things like fly under a certain bridge, shooting somewhere
  • There is multiplayer mode in which you play against your friends, you can use a tank, plane or a little guy (which you will get after getting medals on all planets)


Super Mario 64

  • Mario fans will love this game
  • Go through different levels and get stars to open doors and win this game
  • Watch this movie and you will understand how it works :)

Xbox games




---> Gaming console prior to Xbox 360

I'll be able to comment on this console a little bit more since I have it. I have to say that it is very fun to play if you know the good games. Hope this will help you get a better idea of what you're looking for.


Halo: Combat Evolved


  • I have to say that this is the BEST video game for Xbox, I would DEFINITELY recommend it
  • Has been chosen as game of the year
  • You are a soldier and you have to eliminate Covenants
  • You can play co-op missions with your friends
  • Can engage on multiplayer combat with over 25 players at a time
  • There are a wide variety of vehicles are your disposal
  • Suggestion: Play around with the Warhog, you can get to do some really nice flip tricks with it :P

Halo 2

  • Really good game but I would say that it's not as good as Halo 1
  • More vehicles, weapons, enemies for disposal and of course new maps
  • A noticeable and cool difference is that in Halo 2 you can use weapons on both hands. You can either choose to have the same weapon or different kinds to use for different enemies
  • You can also play co-op missions and engage in multiplayer combat

Ninja Gaiden

  • The coolest ninja game I've ever played
  • You can choose a variety of attack types to use with different enemies
  • This game is really addicting
  • A comment I ahve to say about this game is that it is difficult, some bosses for example are really hard to beat and you have to plan strategies of how you are going to attack them, otherwise it will be impossible to beat them
  • This ninja has spectacular abilities, including wall running, wall climbing, swinging, really cool jumps and a lot more tricks


Lego Star Wars

  • Any one that likes Star Wars will love this game (you will even like it if you hate Star Wars)
  • All characters and maps are made up of legos
  • You will play as a variety of characters including Obi Wan, Chewbaca, Princess Leyia, Yoda, etc. each with different attacks and abilities (even the force)
  • Go through a variety of missions flying on lego ships, killing lego soldiers, even destroying lego flowers to get pieces to build some bonus ships
  • This game will definitely get you cracking up in laughter

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

  • You have to think a lot for this game so if you are not in the mood for taking things slowly and calmly this game is not for you
  • You are this agent and you have to go through a variety of missions completing lots of missions
  • The object of this game is not to go and kill everyone, you have to evaluate situations and sometimes use sleeping darts, choke them and yes, of course kill them sometimes
  • You have to pass a lot of obstacles like lasers, security cams, guard dogs, guards
  • The point of missions is to not get caught, you can do this by hiding the dead guard in dark places after killing them or take put the guard dogs which can smell you


Jade Empire

  • It had amazing graphics
  • Fantastic music
  • Good replayability
  • Fantastic direction
  • The story was mad-crazy
  • If you liked Fable you will definitely like this game, they are very similar


Fable

  • You begin playing as a kid is a small town where you grew up, it is a peaceful village until something horrible happens
  • You have 3 types of attacks you can use and are upgradable in the game there is the magic, range and melee
  • Many different ways to play making amazing re-playability
  • Fantastic story, it's like reading a book only better


Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
  • You can watch the video for this game in my "Gamecube games" post
  • If you like Ninja Gaiden you will like this game, and if you don't like Ninja Gaiden you will still like this game :)
  • Prince of Persia is a puzzly-type game in which you will not only engage in combat but you will have to manage strategies to advance in the game
  • This Prince of Persia guy also has a lot of neat abilities like wall run, really cool fighting techniques, wall jumps, even slide down columns and ladders
  • Apart from that you are able to manage time, you can back it up, freeze it and even go to a totally different era
