4. Star Fox 64
Sometimes when you are looking for a great game to replay you want something short and instantly satisfying. Given that Star Fox 64 is an action game that can be completed in about an hour, it might be the perfect candidate. This third-person rail shooter is all about precise movement, grabbing power-ups, and dispatching enemies as quickly as possible. With a boss battle at the end of every mission, Star Fox 64 offers epic moments at a rapid fire pace. Exceptional performance in one level may take you on a different path through the galaxy, so be sure to play until you’ve seen every planet and taken down every boss. No matter what way you take you will always come face to face with Andross in the final showdown. If you really want a challenge, try to get the medal on each stage. If you still have an N64, there is a good chance you have this game as well, but the 3DS version of the game is just as good (probably even better!).
Fantastic list and write-ups Sam. I find myself coming back to most of these as well. My personal list would include Super Castlevania IV as well (score another for the SNES!) Like you said, “sadly, there isn’t enough time to replay everything.” Happy Gaming!
Never feel bad about telling people to play Ocarina of Time =) Dawn of Sorrow gave me a chuckle, because every time I see the box art of that game, it makes me think of Konami’s re-release of it. The cover for the re-release was… an image of the original box. Hahaha. That game is freaking awesome, though. All three of the DS Castlevania’s are out of this world. Wonderful list.
