Summer Game Challenge 2013 - Begin when ready!

X4 is so good.

I've heard so. It's actually the only one I haven't even tried. I played half of 5, and tried out 6 (it suuuucks).

2 is my favorite one so far, but maybe replaying 5 to completion and playing 4 will change my mind

Bah, be a real man. Play X7 and X8.

Honestly, I'd rather play Sonic 06

Ooh...very well. I see you understand pain.

i've gotten used to being abusde by Sonic over the years. With Megaman we might have fallen into a routine, but at least he never hurt me...till then....

I've decided to finally tackle Super Metroid for the first time this summer after picking it up a few months ago. I've heard nothing but good things and that it's quite the challenging game, so I'm interested to see how it is.

Here's a once again updated list of games you people are playing/suggesting that shouldn't qualify:

-Beats of Rage
-Psychic World
-all of Ack's list except 7th Saga, Donkey Kong Country, and Pilotwings (I guess). I think the RPGs selected are mostly "also ran" for the genre/generation/console
-Onimusha 2
-Terranigma (this is kinda like Ack's middling RPGs, in my mind)
-Mischief Makers ("cult" classic ≠, classic)
-Witcher 2 (a lost "classic" of 2012!)
-Siren (see "Mischief Makers" above)
-Dynamite Deca (more cult classic than classic)
-Silent Hill Shattered Memories (no Silent Hill games after 2 should count, even a "reimagining")
-Ys Origins - it is hard to think of this as a classic just yet as it is fairly new.
-Gemini Rue - no, too new and too niche
-Tales of Eternia - a He-Man game! oh, no...a "Tales" game. Are any of these considered classics? this one had pretty mediocre reviews...
-Sonic Pocket Adventure - not a "classic" Sonic game by any stretch. NGPC is shit.
-Technoclash - this is a very mediocre and boring RPG with almost zero later influence. scrap it.
-Skyward Sword (too new, mixed reception - wait for the inevitable Wii U version)
-Golden Sun Dark Dawn - far too new, mixed reviews
-RE Revelations (overpraised, too new, not a classic or likely to be one)
-----new additions-------
Black (a decent shooter, sure - not really a "classic" by any stretch)
Area 51 (my god no)
Dark Souls (waaaay to new)
Target Earth (not a very high regarded shmup iirc)
Drakan: The Dragon's Gate (cult classic at best. middling reviews)
Chili Con Carnage (wut)
Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 (too niche, barely even a "cult classic")
Back to the Future (too new, largely seen as shitty)
Stacking (too new, largely seen as meh)

[noiseredux]

have you finalized your list yet, Dave? Looking forward to crapping on it.

Ok bitch, first off, I changed my list.

And second off, Silent Hill 3 should count. Not 4. Not Homecoming. Not Downpour. But 3? The game sold well, scored high, continued and wrapped up the plot of the first game, and still managed to evoke the psychological horror that made it famous while including a memorable cast of monsters and locales. I'd say it is a classic of the survival horror genre, and the last point where I would say the series was well and truly great.

But fuck Eternal Champions!
