The sequel to the first Crash Bandicoot. This game features more than 30 varied levels from a jungle to a space base. As an improved version of the first title, players looking for a great 3D platformers for their PlayStation should look no further than Crash Bandicoot 2. Recommended.

Best part of this game: they give a reason why you're starting off with nothing from Legends 1. That isn't to say the rest of the game is bad; it's just that most games forget this little tidbit, detracting from games' continuity. As for the rest, the game moves at a fairly quick pace, going from island ...

Personally This is the Final Fantasy that I enjoyed the most on the Playstation 1. You might ask why and argue that it doesnt hold a candle to the Likes of 7 or 8, and I can understand why you would say that. Nevertheless, It is only a opinion. Alright, down to the good stuff! Story: 4/5 The only ...

Pokemon Yellow was the third pokemon game (not counting the japanese Green version) to be released on gameboy/gameboy color. It was mostly similar to red and blue, but it featured colors, and lots of references to the pokemon anime. The first thing you'll notice if you've played blue or red, is that ...

MegaMan X4 is the fourth game in the MegaMan X series (as obviously implied) and the first to be natively developed for the PSX. The game is just as fun to play as it's three predecessors and includes several new elements to the gameplay. The most major of these enhancements, besides the better graphics ...

Even though this is the worst Legend of Zelda game ever its still pretty good. the puzzles are classic Zelda, the enemies are well placed, and the bosses/mini-bosses are fun. A lot of stuff was taken from Mario games but it was fun to kill goombas with a boomerang and grab a Yoshi doll from the claw ...

This is where it all started. Most of Link's famous items originated with this title, evolved from this title, or were inspired by this title. Almost all of the franchise elements came from here. Think Zelda like we know today only a little less linear. You could go to almost any dungeon that didn't ...

There are many reasons Guardian Heroes can be considered to be more than just your average side-scrolling brawlers. The stylish spritework. An eclectic soundtrack. A non-linear storyline.

Mario and the gang are having a kart race. The rules are simple: complete five laps of the track, and you get more points the more people you're faster than. But then there are things such as bananas and turtle shells that you can pick up use to screw up the others.

Sonic 3 and Knuckles. To most people this is the greatest Sonic game of all time. If you are a fan Sonic then you will love this game. Even if you have never played sonic you can still enjoy this work of art. The graphics are some of the best that the genesis can offer. The music is video game perfection. ...
