Re: 492 - Condemned: Criminal Origins

Playing videogames in the mid 2000s in Germany was a somewhat patronizing hobby. Condemned was one of many other games at the time, that were confiscated due to its violence. The fact, that a game could be so violent, that it was prohibited to distribute or even mention it in Germany, made it intere...

Re: 470 - Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

Being a fan of the Crash Bandicoot series, I was pretty hyped, when I read in a german video-game magazine called "Screenfun", that Naught Dog where developing a new game for the upcoming Playstation 2. It must have been my 14th birthday in february 2002, when I finally got my PlayStation ...

Re: 456 - Pokémon (gens 1 and 2)

I remember being 9 at a birthday-party of some of my friends. All the other guests were his schoolmates and I knew none of them. But everyone was talking about Pokemon and their Gameboys, which made me feel more mature and less childish playing Crash Bandicoot in 3D on a PlayStation. But at the end ...

Re: Our next Console Special podcast recording (3.4.21) - Nintendo 64

When I was 7, I've never felt a urge to play game in 3D at the time. I found games like Pilotwings & Starwing always felt confusing & unfair, as if they were never meant for the super nintendo . The N64 launched and my best friend at the time got a grey console with Mario 64. Me being a mass...

Re: 421: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

The Uncharted-series have always been system-sellers for me. I think you can always feel how much care an dedication Naughty Dog put in their titles. Their well written dialogues, interesting characters and epic storytelling are setting raising the bar for the entire industry with every game they pu...

Re: 385: Prey (2017)

I really enjoyed the first prey for what it was: A daft shooter with a nonchalant story and some alibi-puzzle elements. I never knew if the game took itself seriously or not. Gaming in 2006 i guess. When I read they were going to release another "prey" after all, I was really looking forwa...

Re: 349: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (Biohazard 7: Resident Evil)

At first, I was very skeptic towards RE7. 1st person, no zombies, the bakers... It didn't seem like a proper Resident Evil game to me. But the again, which entry of the franchise actually did, the last 20 years? The franchise has been turned and twisted so many times, that it is very hard to describ...

Re: Special No.3 - recording December 2018: Game Boy

The GameBoy was the very first console i've ever owned. To be precise, I've had a lousy Tiger-Game-And_watch-Knock-Off with a Star Trek game, but that was as fun, as setting a timer on a digital casio-watch. Anyway... Back in '96 I desperately wanted a Super Nintendo. I didn't care for the Upcoming ...

Re: Our next Resident Evil podcast recording (13.10.18) - 341: Resident Evil 5 (Biohazard 5)

If you take Resident Evil 5 for what it is, a coop-action-shooter, it is not a bad game at all. If you expect it to be an entry of a survival-horror-franchise, it will disappointed you. As a single-player-experience, I thought it tried way to hard to be serious and lacks the charming self awareness ...

Re: 344: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Double Dash might by the worst Mario Kart for me. Okay, I haven't played 7 nor 8, but I'm sure, I prefer those over this one, since it doesn't have this awkward two-driver-mechanic. It's one of those things Nintendo did, during the GameCube-Era, where they appealed to the Hardcore-gamer and tried to...

Stanley Parable the infinite game. I remember playing Stanley Parable for 3hours straight, before realizing that the game starts all over again and doesn't tell you, that it's over. For me, Stanley Parable almost feels like a sketch or a draft of an interesting videogame. I found the gameplay in its...

Re: 336: Resident Evil 4 (Biohazard 4)

Resident Evil 4 was the first game of the franchise I've ever played. At the time I wasn't into horror games at all. They were to scary for me. So I managed to gather 4 buddies at my place to play Resident Evil 4. We would pass the controller to each other every time we felt to scared to continue. A...

I am still in love with the first BioShock game.

As I was quite disappointed by the sequel, I didn't have high expectations to BioShock Inf...

Re: Game suggestions for the podcast

Hey guys! I would love to hear your thoughts on:

Super Metroid
Condemned: Criminial Origins
Prey (the first one)

Especially "Condemned" is a way too overlooked game. Please cover it!

Re: Tetris

I remember playing this game during class. I played it that much, that "Tetris" was haunting my dreams. When I was almost asleep, I saw the squares and L-shapes and wanted to turn them, so they fitted to the stacks. Since then I was paying more attention in class.

While I've had a hard time with Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo, Mario Kart 64 felt a bit easier thanks to the improved graphics. I could a...

Since I didn't have any sort of videogame console at my home, I was only able to play videogames at my friend's house. His collection was quite representative for the Super Nintendo: Super Mario All...

Re: Until Dawn

"Until Dawn" was one of the first games I played on a current 8th gen console. Graphicswise, this game was almost a system-seller. I remember looking at the pause-screen for quite a while and turning the character's head and eyes. I thought the gameplay was descent, and I liked the Idea of...
