The Versus (Samus Aran vs. Mega Man)

So who wins the showdown of stylish armor, discombobulated pasts, and arm-mounted weapons of mass destruction?

The Retro (Mega Man Legends)

What year was the most recent game you played made in? 2009? 2004? Try 1998. I recently picked up one of my favorite games for the Playstation this January. Why, when I have Dead Space in my current gaming queue would I play a game that's 13 years old? Because, it's awesome. 

These days it seems that retro is making a comeback, especially with virtual consoles and digital downloads of PSOne games, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64 and more. No matter how good the graphics get, how good the gameplay gets, and how well written the stories are, there's plenty of good times packed in the nostalgia of those dusty cartridges and discs. Of course, there are definitely drawbacks to playing your favorite old games: the load times, the fact that every character looks like Pokémon Porygon, the ridiculous dialogue including poor synching, and the lack of controls. Still, every once and a while we blow on those cartridges like harmonicas and wipe those discs down like waxing a car, just to get that feeling back once more. This is my tale of dealing with one of those games: Mega Man Legends.
