Game Maker is pretty popular, yeah, and it's pretty powerful if you use it right. Undertale was made with that game engine, for instance. It's usually recommended because it needs little to no coding, and even then you're going to use a custom language made specifically for Game Maker, which is...

Most free games aren't even worth trying. The only exceptions are MOBAs (DotA 2 and LoL), because they make profit out of skins and tournaments: basically, just because they're really popular. Some others, like Team Fortress 2, make profit out of loots, boxes and all kinds of apparel (you've...

Not properly a death scene, but seeing Wheatley (Portal 2) wander in space for eternity was sad and hilarious at the same time. I liked it, though. As far as actual deaths are concerned, though, I'll go with Undertale: If I had to name one sad death, though, I'd go with the obvious Final...

If I had to consider only their native games, I'd probably go with the GBA, but right now my answer is the 3DS, hands down. It's the first Nintendo handheld device with other functionalities than running cartridges, and, well...you can get every game from any of the previous consoles...

I'd kill for a proper action-adventure set in space. Running through galaxies, asteroid storms and constellations, planet exploration, ship management...all that stuff. A glorified (and better made) No Man's Sky, so to speak. There are many games similar to this concept, but none of them has a...

I can't afford to do that as much as I used to, I'm afraid. I can manage to stay up until 1-2 AM if I know I can sleep until later, but skipping an entire night? Nope. As for staying up until late, I've done this a few days ago for Super Metroid. It's the perfect game to play late at night, I...

Rarely, if ever. I certainly don't use them during my first playthrough, nor if I'm replaying the game for exploration purposes or to achieve different endings. I don't want to ruin the challenge. I did use cheats for GTA: San Andreas, though, of course, but that's a different case. That's more...

Well, there are plenty of unsuccessful consoles. The Sega Saturn, the Dreamcast, the first Xbox (to a certain extent) all performed pretty bad, sales-wise. However, these alleged "flops" pale in front of devices like the Virtual Boy or the Philips CD-i. The Virtual Boy is probably the most...

I'd agree if that suggestion was addressed to a younger audience, but we can safely expect parents to be 50+ years old. I don't think they could start with such complex games right away, if this is their first approach to gaming. An older cousin of mine once saw me play Skyrim, and she was...

God, Crash Team Racing, so many memories with that game. It felt like Mario Kart with a twist to me (I hated that final boss that took off two seconds earlier), it was so fun to play it with my family. Now that I think about it, Sony does lack an arcade racing series. Given how positive the...

I love adventure games. It helps that a lot of games pair the adventure genre with the action one, and that's how you get Skyrim, Zelda, The Witcher, Dark Souls and so on (with a sprinkle of RPG elements). I just love exploration, apparently. I also like point-and-click adventure games, though...

I think I might be one of the very few humans on earth to like that game. It wasn't a masterpiece, and it most likely didn't feel like a full-fledged Star Fox game, but it was a peculiar combination of genres. The multiple endings were interesting, though. My worst buy has to be Billy the...

In a certain way, yeah. I'm not a big MOBA fan, but I still gave League of Legends a shot a couple of years ago, but I really couldn't stand the community and ultimately left. I guess it's easier to notice with multiplayer-centric games like LoL , but even single-player games have their...

GIMP. As most people who use it, I can't afford Photoshop, and GIMP looked like the most promising alternative. I was surprised by how well made it was, to be fair, and I've rarely felt like I was missing out on anything. The only thing I can point out is that there are way more custom brushes...

I have mobile emulators. The touch controls are so damn uncomfortable and it's hard to get them right. I used to play them on my old phone using a Wiimote as a controller, though, and that wasn't all that bad: I managed to play through the first four Battle Network games on this setup. Anything...

I use a laptop with quite a few years on its back by now, and even then I couldn't play all of the recently released games. I guess I can play most games released until 2014 pretty consistently on low settings, provided they have good optimization, with very few exceptions later (with the...

Let me tell you the tale of Comcept. Comcept was a conceptually (heh) great company founded by Keiji Inafune, formally known as Mega Man's creator (he isn't the real creator, but most people associate Mega Man to him, so...). He left Capcom after one of his projects, Mega Man Legends 3, was...

Crash was so amazing. I haven't had the opportunity to try the N.Sane Trilogy yet, but it looks amazing (and it must be, given how great the original trilogy already was). Say what you will about it, but "unforgettable" is the adjective that fits it the most. No other games looks and feels like...

OoT is a timeless masterpiece and one of the most influential games of all time and no one can tell me otherwise. Period. Still, at the cost of sounding repetitive (how many times have I mentioned this game since I joined this forum? lol), Majora's Mask holds a special place in my heart. I like...

Ghosts 'n Goblins is pretty freaking tough. I managed to get through a good portion of its remake, Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins, but I grew weary of it after a while (I do love challenging games, but...some portions were straight up tedious). It doesn't help that a lot of the game's difficulty...
