GVN Opinion: Mega Man 4 - Best of the classic blue bomber series.



Minor Spoiler Warning. Some story elements are revealed.

The Mega Man franchise has pretty much hit a brick wall after the release of the Mega Man 10.  Capcom has pretty much regulated Mega Man as a guest characters for other games and saw fit to cancel a sequel to Legends series.  Keiji Inafune, Mega Man's creator, has left Capcom and is set to release his new Mega Man-esque game, Mighty No. 9.  These are dark times for the blue bomber whom Capcom has pretty much shelved at this point.  Mega Man has become nothing more than a nostalgia piece that gets pulled out once in awhile to make the fans happy.

Sony Playstation 20th Anniversary top 20 games - Part 4


Here we are. The home stretch. The final 5 games of my top 20 favorite Playstation games.  I hope you enjoyed reading this list and maybe got you interested in a couple of games you never heard of.  The Playstation was a wonderful little machine that managed to outlast the Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 and eventually blow them away.  Sony had the drive and the right people in place to make the system successful and defeat their opponents handily.  It was also the first console to sell over 100 million units which is an incredibly feat for its time.  Happy 20th Anniversary to the Sony Playstation.  Now let's finish this countdown.

Sony Playstation 20th Anniversary top 20 games - Part 2

My list has started off strong. Let's keep going and maybe you'll see something that will surprise you.  I actually don't own a ton of PSX games, but I own enough and have played more via renting or borrowing, allowing me to pick out my favorites.  Trust me when I say it was hard for me to pick certain titles over one another.

Sony Playstation 20th Anniversary top 20 games - Part 1

Low and behold at the system that turned a would be contender into a juggernaut of the video gaming world.  Once originally supposed to be an CD add-on for the Super Nintendo, that quickly changed as Nintendo dropped Sony for a separate system from Philips. An insulted and hurt Sony quickly turned things around and beat Nintendo and pretty much everyone else for the next 20 years for Console dominance.

As I had posted years ago for the 10th Anniversary, I never owned a Playstation growing up during its run. But that hasn't stopped me from buying some of the great games that came out for it and playing them.  Over the next four days I will be presenting my top 20 favorite Sony Playstation games.
