Wait, did they cover Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl or is it just the same song name?

Yes. It's not a bad cover but Neil Young's is still better.

Day 15 - Worst Soundtrack

Madden 16. Hands down. Yeah, HeavyDirtySoul and that song by "The Wknd" are good songs, but first off, why "I Can't Feel My Face" is on a sports video game soundtrack, I don't know, and the soundtrack is so small overall (as long as you don't include the NFL Films music, which is all I let it play now) that you end up hearing the same songs 20 million times (add in that there's clearly songs not on the soundtrack that play before kickoff of each game and it's really all just confusing and poorly planned, it seems).

MLB used to have amazing soundtracks. This year's isn't bad, but it's not great either.

[Crewe]

I never liked most cuts on MLB, although I do like some, but I always end up removing 80% of them from the playlist. Im just not cool anymore

[TheNorm]

Yikes, looks like I've got some catching up to do.

Day 10 - Worst Game You Ever Played

Other than Mike Ditka Football which Crewe already mentioned? NHL Stanley Cup on the SNES. I really liked my SNES during the time I had it but they just couldn't get hockey right like it was on the Genesis. This one spun around so much I got dizzy playing it...turned it off and returned it right back to the Blockbuster I rented it from.

Day 11 - Favorite Indie Game

Shadowrun on the Genesis had me hooked for weeks. RPG that takes place in the future with a bunch of magic and tech elements. Lucky to own it again now; just need to get the battery in the cartridge replaced (...planning on doing that with Super Tecmo Bowl and a couple other old cartridges I have).

Day 12 - Favorite Movie Tie-in Game

Aladdin on the Genesis. Both this game and Lion King were great on the Genesis, and just a blast to play. Maybe I'm confused on the whole tie-in thing but Crewe I thought for sure you'd go with Warriors here.

Day 13 - Favorite Licensed TV Show Game

Thought about going old school again, but then realized I just played South Park: The Fractured But Whole a few short months ago. If you're familiar with the show and enjoy it, you'll love this. The humor is the same as the show with something to offend everyone, and while it is an RPG it's pretty easy to pick up what you need to do quickly. First game in awhile where I had a hard time putting the controller down. Also just reminded me I owe tider a review for this lol...whoops.

Day 14 - Favorite VideoGame Soundtrack

GTA: Vice City had a bunch of 80's nostalgia and the soundtrack was perfect for it...barely edges out the soundtrack of NBA Street Vol. 2 for me.

Day 15 - Worst Soundtrack

Most of the NHL games more than likely, but whichever one had "Warriors of Time" gets the edge for being the worst.

[BojackHorsefella]

Oh man, Aladdin. Dang, what a perfect choice.

And you know what, I didn't even think about Warriors. Although maybe he didn't use it because he used it for value game.

Day 14 - Favorite Video Game Soundtrack

I know you expect a lot of GTA's but San Andreas had an awesome soundtrack .... the early 90's

Burnout paradise was a close 2nd.

Day 15 - Worst Soundtrack

Pick a recent EA soundtrack LOL

Ah man, how could I have forgotten that so soon?? Im just so used to not having much to contribute to this thread I just sorta opted out I guess lol
Definitely Warriors. Definitely ;-)

Day 16 - Most Innovative Game

There are games that try new things (Looking at you, "Portal") and introduce really cool gameplay elements (Hello, "Braid") that feel like they're playing in a different field than your typical platformers or action-adventures. So what's a game you've played that you feel like it was innovative (and it doesn't just have to be because of gameplay controls/elements, it could just be that you thought the story was extremely innovative and hadn't seen something like that done in games before. It's your answer!)

For me, and this may seem silly considering the two great examples I provided up top, but I'm going to go with Wayne Gretzky hockey for the Wii. I don't know if any of you had it, for some reason it didn't last long because it stopped appearing on shelves, but man was this a fun way to play hockey and with a friend too.

It came with two hockey stick attachments, where the nunchuck sat up top and the Wiimote was towards the bottom. You held it like a real stick, and since it was mostly motion controlled, you used the stick to shoot and check (typically, this would turn into actual checking happening in the room).

You moved your guy with the joystick on the nunchuck still and you still hit B to pass, I think, but shooting was all about actually shooting with the stick.

So much fun.

[Crewe]

Ill suggest MGS, thats the 2005 edition I think?
This was one of the first I recall delving into the cinematic experience on that scale. Well, first on a home game system. I remember Dragon's Lair arcade game in the mid 80's that was all the rage.
I think not too long after Uncharted came on the scene and took over, but yea, Metal Gear Solid is my choice here.

Metal Gear Solid is 98, I think. On the Playstation, anyway.

2005, maybe you're thinking MGS4 for the PS3?

[Crewe]

yea thats probably it, you know the one I meant ;-)

Day 15 - Worst Soundtrack

I'm just going general here and saying any sports game. One or two good tracks, but majority of them I find are dull.


Day 16 - Most Innovative Game

Little Big Planet. I loved this game spent easily over 500 hours with it. LBP2 & LBP3 were not as good still decent but the first one was the best.
