This or That: Game Edition

[Axm]

Vectorman

Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry

[Bluecast]

Devil May Cry the real Dante then yeah over modern NG? Then ya.



Strider or Shinobi

[Sonikku]

Shinobi. He did beat up Batman, Spiderman, the Terminator, AND Godzilla after all.

Maximo or Ghouls n' Ghosts

[Axm]

Maximo

Skies of Arcadia or Grandia 2

[OL]

Skies. Grandia 2 just never really grabbed me in the 8-10 hours I played of it, while Skies had me right from the start (even though I still haven't beaten it). Maybe it's just a thematic thing. I loves me some pirates and blue skies.

Acquire chanbara games:
Way of the Samurai of Tenchu?

[SaM_4000]

Tenchu, without a doubt. I am a big fan of the Tenchu series. Rikimaru was my first avatar here I believe, it was an awesome avatar too...

Shadowrun on Genesis or Shadowrun on SNES?

[OL]

^^Ha, I was thinking of posting "Shadowrun vs Shadowrun" myself last night.
I'd say SNES, because it feels a little more expansive. The social aspects feel more prominent in it, a bit like a PC RPG (which is really beneficial for something like the Shadowrun universe), while the Genesis one just feels like a 16-bit actioner with more dialogue than usual. That's not necessarily a bad thing of course, but the Genny version just feels a little less-impressive because of it.

Early Enix SNES games:
Soul Blazer or Actraiser?

[Axm]

You guus and your obscure/retro games, I fucking swear...

[OL]

Does it need to be Uncharted vs Call of Duty each time? I'm actually trying to gloss over the more obscure games, but with the videogame medium in general, it's a little difficult. Let's be honest: most games end up as being obscure eventually. That's just the nature of the medium. If you don't become an icon, you become obscure.

...I still wouldn't be able to play if it was UC v CoD...

Actraiser, I love me some sim with action RPG platforming.

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened or The Testament of Sherlock Holmes

[Who Really Cares?]

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes

Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon

[QWERTY]

You guus and your obscure/retro games, I fucking swear...

Innit!

Mario Galaxy or Mario Sunshine (there is a right answer btw)

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes

Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon

Lost Odyssey, easy. I love both games but LO is the fuckin shit

Max Payne 1 or Dead to Rights 1

[Who Really Cares?]

Max Payne 1 but damn you for putting those 2 together!

Mass Effect or Knights of the old Republic
