If you could not tell already, as a kid I was very deeply in love with my Gameboy Advanced. I used to play that thing for hours on end and enjoy every minute of it. Star Wars: The New Droid Army is a game that was gifted to me on my birthday by my best friend at the time. From the day I got it, I played it all the time and beat it on various difficulty settings multiple times. 

The gameplay was fairly fun and the bosses could be challenging at times, but the game really wasn't super hard. It was also fairly short seeing as there are only 11 levels to beat, and there was no unlockable content. Due to these things and the fact that you had to stand still to revive your energy, the game got fairly bad reviews. All that being said I didn't look at reviews when I was a kid, and I loved the game for a very long time. I probably was just obsessed with Star Wars to be totally truthful. (still ammmm)

So if you are looking for a star wars game, you could get this one. I enjoyed it when I was like 10. 

If you haven't played this game, then shame on you. There we go, end of story. 

The gameplay was actually really fun and great for an NES title, it was a definite babysitter for my brother and I when we were growing up. The game is all PVE and all you get to fight are bosses. Every single boss character in the game takes a certain strategy and their own fun personality, and it is fun to play as the green gloved underdog as you try to beat Mike Tyson. To make the game even more cool, the referee is clearly Mario and your trainer is clearly overweight. 

This is one of those games that are required to have been played for your existence to be accounted for. Only spies and cutthroats have failed to play it. 

Mortal Kombat  is considered one of the best, and most revolutionary fighters OF ALL TIME!! It was a true gem in the gaming world because at the time of it's creation, there were only Street Fighter and it's clones. The gameplay was considered brutal and it was a game your parents were disgusted to watch (the best kind). This was the origin of one of the largest fighting game series in history, but is as fun to play as any of it's children.

As I am sure you are aware, this game is a side scrolling fighter that is completely PVP and PVC. Most of the characters play very similar and in Scorpion/Sub Zero/Reptile's case look similar. Everyone's moves are essentially the same with few exceptions, that is of course counting out Mortal Kombat's famous fatalities. Fatalities are finishers you can do to a downed opponent to brutally kill them. These are often times funny and very gory (Sub Zero's fatality is ripping out someone's spine by grabbing their skull), and leave you feeling great that you nailed the button combination once you have achieved it. 

Overall the game is just fun. Simple awesome fun. I know that it has definitely been the star of some of my parties. 

Watch out Edward, keep your eyes peeled Jacob, because here come Django: An undead monster hunter and star of Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand. This game is actually very pretty and well made in spite of being a GBA title. The story is amazing too. 

You start the game in a world that has been almost completely overrun by evil forces and undead minions. There are no people to be found anywhere and the atmosphere is dark and dreary. Upon coming to terms with being essentially the last truly living and breathing being on earth, you meet a sunflower named Master Ortenko. This sunflower bestows upon you a weapon called the Gun Del Sol. This gun shoots concentrated blasts of sunlight among other things, and has the ability to initially stun and eventually kill enemies. To make the gun (and game) even cooler, you charge your gun with a solar sensor on your game card. Yeah, how many other games use a freaking solar sensor? The game has a dungeon or temple system if you will where there is a large area with many floors and a boss at the end. Upon beating the boss you must drag him out of the castle and purify him using the Pile Driver. Don't let go of your defeated boss though, he will run back to the boss room and force you to challenge him again. 

Overall this game is a total win and worth finding and playing. I played this game so much one summer that I ended up having a sunburn on the tip of my nose, my knee caps, and my wrists and thumbs. Totally addicting. 

Well well well, it is time to look into the life of me as a child. What was I playing? Mega Man OF COURSE! I've always been a huge fan of the blue net warrior. From his side scrolling days to his more recent titles, huge fan. The game I have personally enjoyed the most is definitely Megaman Battle Network 5: Team Colonel. To start things off, Colonel looks extremely intense. Like, he is a huge brutal version of Protoman. He wields a sword which attacks up close, and from a distance (think sonic booms.). When you initially start the game, you are taught how to battle, a crisis happens, and you have to find your first boss (Colonel). When you first find him you are really freaking excited to see the guy because he looks like a total beast, but then you have to fight him. Being your first boss he is fairly easy to beat, you may take approximately 20 damage at the most (noobs Read More…
