As a fan of RPGs, Shining Force II meets all expectations for any fans of games like these. You’re not required to play the first two games either, which is a real bonus since Shining Force I is a somewhat downer. One of the very few games I’ve played that was given a 10/10 (100%).
There is nothing original about this game, and, on top of that, it’s full of spoiled brats and annoying adults on the online servers. The developers have a tainted history of stealing other content, putting it in this game, and claiming it as their own. The fandom is toxic, and like I already said, nothing about this game is original.
For people who enjoy animals, or casual video games like those farming ones, then Viva Piñata is just for you. This endless farming game offers challenge and uniqueness. Although the game is semi-incomplete, it’s sequel, Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, finishes what was lost from the previous installment if this game didn’t meet your expectations. Overall, this one remains one of my favorite video games of…
Just like it’s prequel, this game is absolutely the worst in the series thus far. This game feels exactly the same compared to the original, and is just as repetitive, the only difference is replace all the characters with Shadow, one of the most boring, but yet fan-favorite, characters of the franchise. Overall, a useless addition to the main storyline, and serves little-to-no purpose whatsoever. The only reason…

Jet Set Radio's Dreamcast version (or the original version) is much the same as compared to the newer 2012 Xbox 360 version. Jet Set Radio is remarked as my favorite video game of all-time for its art style, character designs, and worthy music. The only major differences in this and the Xbox 360 version is that this one has less graffiti to choose from and doesn’t contain the bonus content.
Space Channel 5 on the PS2 is very similar to its Dreamcast counterpart. It is basically a remaster for the PS2 consoles and offers the same content as its original Dreamcast version. Space Channel 5 is a must-play on either the Dreamcast or PS2 consoles.
The GBA version of Space Channel 5 brings classic gameplay and still holds fresh compared to its console versions. The plot is pretty much the same, and the controls can very rarely be unresponsive. I am a fan of the “new” style as it reminds me of a classic arcade game, and that’s how the GBA would be.
Space Channel 5 currently ranks number 5 on my Favorite Video Games of All-Time for its amazing gameplay, groovy music, and stylish characters. Basically whenever Pudding shows up on screen that’s when the best parts of the game are revealed. Every character is cute and fashioned in their own way, but the leading ladies, Ulala, and Pudding, deserve their own awards. Ulala is by far one of my favorite female…
It’s a shame that this game is exclusive to the Xbox consoles, but this remake of the original 2000 success was another hit, although they should have just made a sequel instead of a remake two years later. Jet Set Radio Future features speed, likeable music, and loveable characters.
ChuChu Rocket! is one of the very few puzzle video games that actually work, and Sega practically made this puzzle game stand out from the rest. It features some of the cutest characters in video games, and because of the games success, it’s characters cameo in several other Sega-related media.
This game honestly feels like SEGA trying to push the Sonic the Hedgehog series in everyone’s face instead of focusing on some of their other gorgeous and well-developed series. SEGA needs to admit that Sonic is a dying franchise and has lost its potential in 2011, with Sonic Generations being its last good Sonic game (excluding Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed). This game ultimately and unintentionally admitted…
SpongeBob‘s Truth or Square is a video game that you will want to play if you’re a fan of the original show. It is packed with references, and includes some fun levels to play, while also being original and unique. I also love it’s variety of mini games of which you can play, which can be unlocked after certain points. And have I not mentioned those references?
Jet Set Radio is ranked among one of my favorite console video games of all time, mainly because of its timeless graphics, the style, and the music. But what makes me love the game the most are the stylish and unique characters - each appealing to the player in their own unique way. The character styles, such as Beat and Gum's, are absolutely original and are recognized as some of my favorite video game character…
A close tie with Mario Kart 8, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed serves as my all-time favorite racing game. The character roster is excellent with a wide-variety of Sega fan-favorites that don’t disappoint, filled with references from various Sega titles.
