During the early 2000s the world was in love with extreme sports, and every single sport got a video game. One video game series I was quite taken with was SSX, and in 2001 a sequel was made called SSX Tricky, and I was hooked just from the first video I saw, and the hype continued with all its advertisements. Till eventually I got my hands on the game as able to play it, complete it and master it. Today I will be looking back at this now twenty-year-old game.
SSX Tricky (2001) PlayStation 2, Xbox & GameCube
The PlayStation 2 is the greatest console ever sold, and for me turns twenty this month. So let me take you on a journey with this great console.
The PlayStation 2 was released in the UK November 24, 2000, for £299 and was an immediate success. Continuing from the success of the original PlayStation, the sequel console was another runaway success, and was the console to have around the time of its release. With the console only being discontinued in 2013. And by the time I got it had already sold 20 million units!
These days games are little our own little movie experience. You can put a on a game and enjoy an experience that tells an epic story that can last for as little as six to eight hours. That’s why it doesn’t take a genius to figure out, let’s take these stories and release it to the masses as something new. Then why has it worked out too well?
I have enjoyed games on mobiles from the days of Snake on the Nokia 3310. Since those days I have enjoyed taking a friend’s phone and playing a game, trying to see if I could beat the top score. Then as phones evolved the games got more sophisticated, and new games were put on phones. With classic games being brought over for mobile play, such as Tetris. Then of course the smart phone came around and now there are games everywhere.
The PlayStation 4 the latest version of one of the bestselling video game consoles of all time. As this console is slowly beginning its decent to end of its life, I want to take a make a moment and give this console some love. I would like to do so as for as long as I’ve had it, I haven’t played many of the amazing titles within its library. With that in mind it should make today’s task quite easy and simple. I will be listing my top five PlayStation 4 games I have completed story modes.
One of the things I have grown to love about video games is the music. Playing video games in the nighties a lot the games from that generation have had such iconic music which to this day is still some of the best music I’ve heard and still listen to. Street Fighter 2 (all versions) and Mortal Kombat are prime examples from the 16 Bit Generation.
Being a gamer since the early nineties, I have played a variety of different games. From then to present I have played a fair yew and I own even more, but there has been something which has been nagging at me about games from the more recent generations. Having been through five console generations, and owning consoles from all five generations there has been something I’ve noticed. Playing something from an older generation I feel the difficulty back then is a little bit more of a challenge. Games of today aren’t all easy, but I do feel there has been a slight simplification of game play.
Paradise will be a kind of library. — Jorge Luis Borges
This is what I think when I look at my gaming library. Roughly five hundred games and I can think of no better way of spending my money. My gaming library is one of my greatest achievements as gamer. I see it more than a collection, I see it as my history in gaming. When I look at the tiles in my collected, I think back to the birthday, Christmas and special occasion gifts I had gotten. While also looking back at the games I poured countless hours into, or the times I had great fun with my friends.
