I am about to try the original Sid Meier's Colonization, what are your thoughts on it? and other older strategy games you like? My absolutely favorite is Master of Orion 2

Colonization was generally a pretty miserable experience for most of the people involved but I don't care to moralize about these things.

The multiplayer for this game was so underrated. It's one of the few games that I really feel sad that I'll never experience again.

The main rifle feels amazing, as does the skeleton gun and the rotary cannon.

theres no single player game I play every year. if you love a game that much, you should give it more space in between play throughs to keep it as magical as possible. I did probably my 7/8th playthrough of ffvii this year, and while it was still enjoyable Im worried the magic is running dry. might have to wait like ten more years before I go back.

>Jeu d’action fort simple, Super Mario Bros se distingue du lot grâce à trois éléments la simplicité, la richesse de l'univers dans lequel on évolue et la qualité de réalisation Contrairement à beaucoup, ce jeu est trèsfacile à utiliser car le nombre d’actions est limité au strict nécessaire. Outre les dépla cements vers la droite et la gauche, le joueur ne peut que sauter. Pour se débarrasser de ses ennemis on bondit et les voici écrasés

>Pour obtenir des points de Bonus, de l'argent ou bien des éléments nécessaires à la réussite du jeu, on saute et on tapStfe la tête les briques renfermant telle ou merveille. Et c'est là que réside le secret
de ce jeu : simple d’apparence, il regorge de trucs divers. Ainsi, pour sauter plus haut, on peut récupérer une sorte de champignon
afin de grandir.

>Dernier point : la réalisation. Animation précise et douce, graphismes soignés et bande sonore de qualité répondent à l'appel.

It's refreshing to see a review treat SMB just like any other game. Like I said, Nintendo had no status in 1987 in Europe.

And here's the other review from OP. The low score is because it ranked only 4 in Gameplay due to how simple and arcade like it was, but the text remarks that's one of its strengths since it's instantly easy to understand and gets addicting fast.

I would recommend all the PS2 DW and SW games really, except DW6S and arguably DW2.

5 is the only one I enjoyed, honestly, but I enjoyed it a lot and I go back to it regularly. My problem with 4 was the duels; they're tedious and annoying. And I can't remember if it was 3 or 4, but in one of them you get knocked off your steed too easily.

lightgun and rail shooters are pretty much the non-gay versions of shmups

How the hell did Retro Studios make such an incredible game on their first fucking try? Metroid Prime is such a fucking joy to play, the shooting is just fun, the world is incredibly designed and packed with secrets, the pacing is great, the graphics are among the very best of the generation, the music is incredible, everything about it is a masterpiece. I don't even like other Metroid games, just these first two Prime games they're just that good. Shame about 3 and 4.
