Why is this game good?
Will any other game ever beat your favourite?

All of the games have been one of the best on that console and to be honest there's not much to falt about them. The first Zelda game for the NES brilliant puzzles, rock hard. Nothing to falt, and all the others for the nes were the same.
The SNES version was massive with two huge worlds with about 12 temples (Roughly), tons af ace items, mini-games and even when you'd finished it you'd keep defeating the final boss (If you ever did complete it).
The four Game boy Zelda games. The first one (Links awakening). May not have been in colour but rock hard puzzles in it. The second (Links awakening DX). Full colour version of the original with an extra doungen (Spelt rong) that would take ages to complete. The two new Zelda games for the GBC, i haven't played them but they both look like classics.
The two N64 versions, and deffinetly the best so far. The ocarina of time took me a year to complete and i still havn't done all the mini-games, but i do have a cow in my house!! The second Zelda, Majora's mask. I still havn't completed it (Mainly because my expansion pak broke and can't get a hold of one) classic, rock hard puzzles.
Finaly the future of gaming, Zelda GC. Nintendo have thought of something totally new and original. Looks more like a cartoon than all the other Zelda games.
Yep, deffinetly Zelda.

Extensive multiplayer, great single player, and ooooh the graphics!
It's sequel on the GC
Review of PDark:
This game has a great storyline - DataDyne is a computer aided technology business, is popular with the people and is well established.
But recently, a security breach allowed an insider to reveal DataDynes corrupt plans of evil. This forces the government to use secret agent Joanna Dark to infiltrate, and ultimately destroy the minds behind these evil plans.
And the good thing is, you are not told their actual plans outright.
You find information regarding this as you work through the game
The game has great after and before mission cut scenes. These have been rendered brilliantly by the geniuses at Rare. They reveal DataDyne’s evil plans, and give you an insight into the next level/mission.
A lot of thought has gone into what people want from an ace shoot ‘em up - one of these things is guns. PDark has a whole host of weapons, each having a secondary
function. There is an assault rifle with grenade attachment, hunting knife which doubles up as a poison tipped throwing knife. On a special level you play as an alien, and get a phycosis gun, which allows you to make bad guys fight for you.
Aside from actual guns, you have ECM mines, which knock out security cameras, a nifty on-arm laser, the farsight which allows you to shoot through walls, the night
vision, infra red and x-ray goggles, the spy fly, which is a minute video footage device, and the threat detector, which tells you where ammo, weapons and enemies
are.
There is the single player mode, and the co-operative, which sees two players fighting together throught the single missions
There is also the ace multiplayer, which has all of these modes:
*Capture the breifcase - find a hidden briefcase, but you can’t shoot while holding it!
The longer you hold it the more points you get.
* king of the hill - Find the hill. Stop other players from capturing your base on the
hill.
* free for all - outright deathmatch.
* you can have sims, which can help you, and you can give different orders, and AI
players that play against you.
* The complex and temple levels are back. But now you can fall through the hole in
temple!
You get to ride vehicles. Joanna rides a hover bike AND CAN STILL USE BOTH
HANDS ON GUNS!!!!!
The guards are super intelligent. If one alone is getting whipped, he will call for backup. They dive out of the way of bullets. Unlike in GoldenEye, they take cover.
Some lay flat, camouflaged with their sniper rifles. And some of the wimps even surrender. One cool thing is if you wing a guard on the leg, he will run away, leaving a trail of blood. Then he will bleed to death.
The graphics are stunning ( well, it’s Rare)
The sounds are great.
Have I said enough? Thought so!

Just think yourself lucky you don't live in Germany.
Blood has to be made green, and people have to become robots, and it still gets an 18!
