Metagame...Games I Haven't Played!

Flower

1. Flower

I feel like a criminal for not yet playing flower. It's exactly the kind of silliness artiness I generally reward, and I'm absolutely certain the only reason I haven't played it is that it's on PSN. At such a short length, I might even tackle this title over my break.

PaRappa the Rapper

2. PaRappa the Rapper

Gosh, I wish I had a PS1. PaRappa looks like an absolute blast, and I hate the PSP. I'll probably buy a copy on Amazon sometime soon. I wish it had multiplayer, though. (The art on the card for PaRappa, by the way, is AWESOME.)

Gran Turismo

3. Gran Turismo

Okay, so playing the original Gran Turismo might be a little weird, but what if I told you I'd never played another Gran Turismo? I'll probably just start with the original and then play GT4 or 5. I know people are seriously disappointed in 5, but that's partly because it's just iterative on 4, right?

ICO

4. ICO

I have the HD collection with Colossus, and I look forward to playing both. I never actually found a copy of ICO, and Colossus always just had such a bad frame rate on the PS2 that I never got around to it. On the PS3 it runs silky smooth.

Shadow of the Colossus

5. Shadow of the Colossus

See above. I always liked it, but the improved frame rate will drive me to actually see the character arc that's been spoiled for me so many times.

Duck Hunt

6. Duck Hunt

Okay, so I've played Duck Hunt, but only for a little bit. I never had a Zapper as a kid or a copy of the game, so I played it once at a convention where both were supplied. It was all right, but my time with it is extremely limited. I think Duck Hunt is in the deck as a joke, to be honest. Time Crisis would probably be a better fit.

Super Mario Kart

7. Super Mario Kart

Again, I've played this one. I've actually played a lot of this one. But not enough where I'd feel comfortable talking about it. I'm planning to buy a copy for my SNES over the break. Until then, I'll be talking mostly about MK64 and MKDS.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

8. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Oh, man, this game is SO FRUSTRATING. As a kid, I played a lot of this one, but its crying baby absolutely ruined my experience with it. I'll go back as an older and more tolerant adult and either enjoy it way more or way less.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

9. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

Never actually played any version of Punch-Out!! Will happily pick up a cheap copy of this, either for my NES or off the amazing Wii Shop.

Nintendogs

10. Nintendogs

Never actually played Nintendogs! I don't really feel bad about that, either. I've owned Tamagotchis and played Hey You! Pikachu, and I've never really enjoyed them. That said, this one probably works a lot better than most of the others.
