Honestly, I hope the Bourne film is closer to Alpha Protocol than Splinter Cell; I feel the social aspect of Alpha Protocol (the divergent conversation trees, the way your actions change how other characters in-game look at you) are closer to what the original Bourne books (the trilogy, not the Von Lustbader garbage) portrayed. Completely with you on that, Alpha Brotocol is massively underrated, the dialogue system works great and seeing how your actions interact with each character would work awesome with the Bourne Universe. What I want the Bourne game to borrow from is the quick and deadly action of SC: Conviction, with a few tweaks here and there. Keep John Powell/Paul Oakenfold for the soundtrack as well, The Bourne Conspiracy soundtrack ended up being better than the movie's ost.

It's almost a crime I forgot these two: N64:Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon I'll see your Pacific Rim and raise you a Giant Karoake Robot wearing sandals in a game that can only be described as "Japanese as fuck." Bomberman 64: Oh, and Bomberman 64's multiplayer had AI bots, which was a godsend as an only child living in the middle of nowhere for friends to play with. I don't technically revisit them anymore, but the number of times I rented them because "can't we just fucking buy them at this point, mum/dad???" justifies the mention.

The 64 is a really good gaming system, dare I say underrated?

good shout for Mystical Ninja, batty fucker of a game, wish I had played it more.
Link to the Past has beat most for me I think. Played the shite out of Resi 4 also, great game. Still love a good blast of F-Zero X, Super Aleste, Axely, Contra 4, UN Squadron, MK Double Dash, Wario Ware...

I'm always a sucker for a game with spontaneous giant robot boxing segments. (starts around 11:30) Video related, the game becomes Punch-Out out of nowhere. Amazing.

The 64 is a really good gaming system, dare I say underrated? Underrated? Who're the jokers that say the N64 was bad? Sure, the controller sucked, but still.

The 64 is a really good gaming system, dare I say underrated? Underrated? Who're the jokers that say the N64 was bad? Sure, the controller sucked, but still. The N64 had many hardware limitations (so much so that they needed to release an expansion midway through it's life, with a second one planned but scrapped at the last minute), and Nintendo's decision to stick with cartridges instead of upgrading to CD put a bad taste in many dev's mouths. They lost a good chunk of third party support to the Playstation because of it, and this really hurt the system's game library and overall sales. Basically, outside of about twenty or so fantastic games, most titles on the N64 were mediocre to bad. They also had almost no RPGs made for the system, something which was a staple of the SNES for many, causing people to move over to the Playstation. Devs were so burned by the experience that they didn't even come back when Nintendo put out the Gamecube, which was the most powerful console on the market at the time, and put them in the exact same position but reversed. It looks like the cycle will continue with the Wii U, as Nintendo simply cannot into 3rd party.

That's my job. Tonio and me were trying to remember the past as we seemed fit and here came George with...uggghhh... facts! It is still underrated though, those 20 or so fantastic games were that fantastic! 20 or so fantastic games on any console is still impressive.

Keep John Powell/Paul Oakenfold for the soundtrack as well, The Bourne Conspiracy soundtrack ended up being better than the movie's ost. I think the action in Blacklist is quite a bit smoother and provides an even further quick and deadly feel to it, although I think it'd be difficult to completely replicate the hand-to-hand combat style used in the Bourne movies with anything other than QTEs, because it'd be practically impossible to do that level of trapping and blocking in real-time gameplay.

Psh, not a single of its successors ever lived up to the might and awesome power of the first Contra. A difficult-as-hell game still to this day.
