I have the alladin game for genisis and loved it. It was the first game I stayed up all night to play and finally beat it at 6 in the morning. I also have the tetris for gameboy and still play it. Its a shame hat those games are better than most wii games that come out today

orange box is shit the online is shit ufn for about 30 min and then had to pop in cod 4 story line was good but at times they did not tell you what the hell you had to do then leading to looking around for ever around with the grave gun hoping to find away out of the cave resitance had that same problem the game was not next gen i have seen better games on the psone anyway the ps3 suck 360 rocks and yes i have both and the online is better on 360 in every way so fan boys stop crying. and about mgs not coming for the xbox 360 well they have made mgs for xbox before so maybe they will. and the 12 year olds shouting out about their d!Ck$ you can stop that they did invent the mute button.

at first glance i thought homie_cheese said 'sex on psn'... Unrelated... Other than that I thought this was a very informative article. Thanks for increasing my brain activity.

This has probably already been said, but Aladdin doesn't belong on this list because the two games are completely different. I'm not sure how this was overlooked. Since they're two completely different games, that's like saying Donkey Kong Country was superior to Vectorman and putting it in this article.

I had some darn good times with Aladdin and Mortal Kombat on the Genesis/Mega Drive.

Duras, comparing vectorman and donkey king is nowhere near comparing two aladin games, for the SIMPLE fact that they both include Aladin, Vectorman and Donkey Kong are not the same person if im correct, no? :P
And guys, GROW UP about the 360/PS3 thing, both ahve their +'s and -'s! My friend put the PS3 in the perfect sentance yesturday, "Sony are trying to create a console ahead of its time, console's are not ready to be a multi-media hub where the family use that as a centre of entertainment."
And about the reliabilty of an Xbox, well no fanboy'ism here, but you could buy two 360's for less than a PS3, If one broke, just buy another one, get the other repaired. If you had a hard drive, just keep swapping them over. They are covered by a 3 year guarantee on all Red light failures. (and its quick service, with a maximum wait of 3 weeks!)

@homie_cheese.

Gex was brilliant. I remember that game with very fond memories. The PS1 answer to Banjo, not as good but still well entertaining. And they had the Cat from Red Dwarf doing the voice of Gex, genius.

I had a Genesis and I remember my friends who had SNESes coming over to play Mortal Kombat on my system. Unfortunately, MK and Sonic were the only two things I really had that made my SNES friends jealous.

Yes, this means Shane's gonna be on the next Talkradar. Score.

Its odd you mention the orange box thing, mine never had any problem. I never play it any more though.

Seriously, I must have some sort of magic PS3, or something, because everyone lists problems that have never occured to my console, it just makes me wonder, how much of it is true.
