I wonder why topics about Sowore and his presidential ambition are not making front page, just wondering. . .

It wasn't until I saw people, YOUTHS, young vibrant thinking men actually talk down Sowore's presidential aspirations that I knew that Nigerians don't know what they want and most of them just came to dance to the music of Election Games.
The number one problem in Nigeria is not even corruption, it's the absence of Check and Balance due to the unnecessary size of the government. Atiku and Buhari don't even talk about it at all, whereas Sowore's campaign clearly mentioned this but no. They keep looking for foolish excuses to not support him. I don't even understand Nigerians o.

#10: Spec Ops: The Line
In an industry where current military shooters are normally observed as a bunch of straight activity set pieces, with an objective to stop psychological oppressors cause they're not American, Spec Ops at first glance appeared as yet another non specific shooter endeavoring to capitalize on Call of Duty's fame.

More terrible still, the game's dispatch trailer and past sections that took after a similar equation just fortified that affiliation. But when the game turned out goodness how wrong we were, what we go rather was an aggravating top to bottom investigate madness when the line to unmistakable great and terrible was distorted to the point, that in your craving to be a legend, you wind up turning into a beast.
OMG i absolutely enjoyed this game, it started as a generic 3rd person shooter, but soon developed into a very immersive story driven action packed game...i really didn'nt expect the ending tho cheesy

#2: Metroid Prime
Gamers may recognize what they need, but they don't generally comprehend what's best for them.

A valid example: "Metroid Prime." After the enormity of "Super Metroid" and different titles in the acclaimed side-looking over arrangement, fans were horrified to take in this new enterprise would be a first-individual shooter.

The way that a then obscure Amercian engineer was helming the game didn't look good either. How wrong we were. Environmental, chilling, and disconnecting, "Metroid Prime" separated itself as one of the establishment's most including sections and put Retro Studios on the guide. Perhaps history may rehash itself with Metroid Prime Federation Force? It wouldn't amaze us that is without a doubt.

DUDE. I'm currently playing Metroids on Wii right now.
i downloaded Metroids 1, Metroids 2 , Metroids 3 and Metroids: the other M.
i swear this game is awesome

#5: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Discuss judging a game in light of appearance alone. There was a gigantic clamor when individuals saw that "Zelda" would go the cel-shaded course.

The way that prior tech demos proposed a darker, more practical approach just made this turnaround all the more baffling. When gamers really popped "Wind Waker" into their GameCube, however, they understood regardless it encapsulated all that we adore about "Zelda" with unparalleled enterprise, areas, and legend.

In addition, in the wake of moving beyond the expressive change, you'll see this is really a standout amongst the most delightful looking games and still looks obviously better than some other 3D Zelda game to date.



I'm not so sure about the Wind Waker.
i have got legend of Zelda: Ocania of time, Majora's Mask, twilight Princess, Wind Waker and Skyward Sword. hope to get the one on switch soon.
Wind Waker is good even with the cartoon-ish look but far better than Majora's Mask. forcing myself to finish it.

#6: GoldenEye 007
Another Video Game on the list that was based on a movie, Golden eye astounding situation where each on occasion, we get a movie game that triumphs against the chances.

"GoldenEye" wound up being one of these uncommon exemptions, which is particularly astonishing thinking of it as turned out two years late. However, gamers stay enraptured by this present game's magnificent interest to this date, as it advanced the FPS genre with idealize gameplay, rich level plan and a multiplayer part that was shockingly included at last. That is the reason you clutched your old N64 and still play in your apartment today.


ohh!i miss the days of goldeneye. my brother will invite his friends while i also invited mine to duel on the four player battle mode.hmmm, those days...

#4: The Sims
It isn't surprising that people raised brows in the wake of finding out about "The Sims."

Although everybody was arguing for another "SimCity," we rather got a game where you basically simply play house.

Going from building an entire city to living in a rural area seemed like the greatest advance in reverse one could take. "The Sims" was relatively revolutionary, in any case, as gamers ended up immersed by their virtual second lives. It exhibited exactly how put we can move toward becoming in a video game world, regardless of whether that world is a basic family unit.
Here is the best game ever.
The Game I'll never trade for anything...
From Sims 1(2000), Sims 2(2004), Sims 3(2009), Sims 4 (2014) to every other Sims Game (Sims Freeplay, Sims Mobile) every single one has been a Hit.
This is a game everyone should play.

Isn't the Super Metroid one of them? I was a little child when this game dropped and of course it didn't seem a fail to me, but for a lot of other people which were older than me seemed to not like this game from the beginning. Then it became a very popular game. There are people which are playing it even now. I downloaded it also a few weeks ago as a friend of mine sent me the ROM to it. It amazed me that this game is alive even today. He was like: "Do you want to travel back in time?". And I was like: "Yeah! Sure", thinking that he's joking. And then he sent me the Super Metroid ROM. He was damn right, I am time-traveling every evening when I play it.
