Best video game, oh its on like donkey kong

All games serve one purpose, to challenge and to entertain; some are just a lot more successful than others. When it came to writing about the best game I ever played, I had difficulty. I sat here in front of my computer thinking can I really narrow it down. Probably not but you can’t kill me for trying.

One of my favorites is Resident Evil 4. It was my runner up. I know it doesn’t measure up to Legend of Zelda or Call of Duty but those games will be up for discussion on a later post. Believe it or not I think RE4 is the most intense, terrifying and adrenaline pumping game I played on my Playstation. The fact that the the camera is focused behind Leon in his search of the presidents daughter, makes it super easy to see what is going on. See you later weird angels. That sense of fear and panic that builds up when you run into a bunch of zombies is addicting. I mean you do have plenty of weapons to choose from in order to kill them but these zombies are no longer slow and stupid. In this version they dodge attacks, they’re quicker and able to communicate with one another, fancy I suppose. 

Not as fancy as my man Donkey Kong and his partner in crime Diddy Kong though.

 I absolutely love the Donkey Kong Country 2 game. You must think I’m crazy calling this the best game I ever played but it definitely is. There is no other game, (except maybe Mario Brothers occasionally) that I can play repeatedly and enjoy it as much every time. It is a great game in every aspect. Let me explain why. First of all the hypnotizing music for every level is superb. EVERY level, and that’s rare. As you progress you explore various locations from a pirate ship, to a carnival and a beehive. Donkey and Diddy have more moves and a custom pistol/gun. You can’t go wrong with a crazy monkey that swims, swings from vine to vine or launches out of barrels all to recover his banana horde. He rides a mine cart, if that’s not fun I don’t know what is. Unfortunately I haven’t had time to play it but when I do, I have this thing where every time the cart has to jump, I make an upward movement with my controller, I suppose I think I can make it go higher or something. Yeah I know, I probably look like I have a muscle spasm while I’m doing it. No matter how I look, Ill always go back for more.
