#295 - Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (X360)
Ok so the first time I've played the latest Sands of Time entry which is actually a prequel to Warrior Within, was on my PC. It was a horrendous experience with the controls but then later I played it on my X360 and it was a much more enjoyable experience except that its a complete clone of the first 3 and fails to deliver anything more.
#294 - Adventure Island II (NES)
Ok so anyone who's played the original and then played this would know how much of an improvement the sequel is over the original. First the unfair and downright impossible to beat (without cheating) difficulty is gone. Heck I would go on to say Adventure Island 1 is impossible to beat (w/o cheating) because the game is designed in a way where enemies are gonna get you no matter what and platforming requires perfect landing and even that isn't enough most of the time. Adventure Island II is still quite difficult for the average gamer but is much much MUCH more forgiving. The best thing about this game is the set of dinosaurs you can ride. Each having their own ability and use. One of the best platforming games on the NES for sure.
#293 - Warioware Twisted! (GBA)
I bought this game because I read someone's Top something GBA games of all time and it was first on the list. The reviews are good and I'd say it did live up to a lot of them. The game is one of its kind I'd give it that. But without any sort of seriousness it is far from being the best GBA game around.
#292 - Super Castlevania IV (SNES)
Konami should have named this game Super Castlevania because this game is only a remake or rather a reimagining of the original Castlevania. Well that's about where the similarities end though. The stages are totally remade with a LOT of new ones. What makes Super Castlevania better than Castlevania is the controls and the newly gained abilities of Simon Belmont.
#291 - Castlevania: Bloodlines (Sega Genesis)
It is difficult separating Bloodlines and Castlevania IV in terms of rank because I think I like them equally as much. I'd give the higher rank to Bloodlines because it is its own game and not a remake or a re imagining. People say Bloodlines is too short. Well I beg to differ. Even though there are only a few levels. They are LONG. And you get to play as two characters who have totally different moves in beautifully designed levels.
