Cinemawares Defender of the crown was a classic through the "birth" of modern computer- and videogaming. This remake upholds all the great values of the original. Lead a strategic campaign to free medieval britain from the norman dominance. Build an army, conquer fortresses and secure the support of saxon leaders (also Robin Hood). Lead strategic army battles and castle sieges, play interactive action-stages when attending tournaments and raiding castles. Become defender of the crown.
This was the game my parents bought me for playing my PlayStation2 form the first time. At first I found it amazing and after 18 years, I still consider it a hidden gem in games history. It is an remake from a game originally launched for DOS and ir has also an GBA version, but the 2003 PC/Console version is definitely the best one. The graphics are a bit outdated, but intermediate for its time. The gameplay is the highlight of this game due its diversity. You can raid charriots by arrow, raid castles and retrieving treasure, join joust competitions, attack lords in their territories to claim them (preparing your strategy and armies) and invade castles with catapults. Oh, almost forgot: The way you play alters the story and the end of the game. It is a game that deserves to be played and replayed.

Pokémon Stadium
Pokémon StadiumIn the game's Stadium Mode, one player competes in 80 different battles, divided into four tournaments. Beat the Stadium Mode and you're in for a bonus battle against the ultimate Pokémon warrior, Mewtwo, as well as a secret mode that gives you 80 brand-new, and devilishly tough battles. There is virtually no way you can beat the secret mode without having trained your own, elite Pokémon. One to four players compete against each other or the computer in a no-holds-barred battle with customizable rules. You can select rental Pokémon for these battles -- but that makes them much too predictable since their selection of techniques isn't determined by the trainer. You can also select quick and easy versus and random battles.

Pokémon White Version
Pokémon White VersionPokémon White Version and Pokémon Black Version are the primary paired versions of Generation V. Black and White follow the trends set up by previous games in the series. Two player characters (one male and one female) travel a new region, Unova, on their Pokémon journeys. This region is inhabited by various Pokémon, and unlike before, none of those available prior to Generation V can be obtained before completing the main story by defeating Team Plasma. The games' names were revealed on the official Japanese Pokémon website on April 9, 2010, and scans from the subsequent issue of the magazine leaked the following day, April 10. Pokémon Black and White are followed in 2012 by two sequels, Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, which are set two years after the events of Black and White. Black 2 and White 2 are the second and final paired versions of Generation V.

Pokémon LeafGreen
Pokémon LeafGreenPokémon LeafGreen Version and Pokémon FireRed Version are a pair of core series Generation III games that are set in the Kanto region. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004. As the first remakes in the Pokémon franchise, the games revisit the original pair of Pokémon games, Pokémon Red and Green Versions, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games. The Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for Game Link Cables when trading between the two games (and later Pokémon Emerald Version). In later copies, it was sold separately. FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the Game Boy Advance, only behind Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions. They also received Nintendo's Player's Choice awards.
