The best party/multiplayer games that I have played through the years include Super Smash Brothers, Ready 2 Rumble, Goldeneye 007, Street Fighter II Turbo, Wave Racer 64 and Mario Kart. All these games had three things in common - great gameplay, highly addicting and highly competitive.

As others have mentioned, if you are looking to spend less than $100, used will be your best bet. A used 3DS with two games is $120 at Gamestop. Alternatively, you can buy just a used console from Amazon/Cowboom/eBay for around $95. The asking prices on Craigslist here are pretty much the same...

For me, I generally end up buying somewhere between 8-10 games on Black Friday. Typically games that I have been wanting to play but not willing to pay full price/pre-order. The downside to this is that my backlog keeps getting bigger and bigger; I am a sucker for $10 games that I may only have...

My favorite Genesis game of all time is a pretty easy choice for me - Sonic the Hedgehog 2. NBA Jam would take the runner-up spot with Mortal Kombat II in third place. For the SNES, things are a little more complicated, but ultimately, my favorite game has to be Street Fighter II Turbo. This...

I have always been a big fan of horror games. Some of my all time favorite horror games that I have played in recent years include Dead Space, FEAR, Resident Evil, Condemned, The Darkness, Five Nights at Freddy's, Saw, Dead Rising and Dead Island. My only rule is that all horror games have to be...

In my own experience it varies on a game to game basis. For some games, it is definitely cheaper to buy PC versions, whereas at other times, especially during holiday sales, their console counterparts can be cheaper. Triple A titles are generally very similarly priced upon release. Fallout 4 is...

My favorite N64 game in a landslide was Goldeneye 007. For my money, this is still the best Bond game ever released. By a wide margin. It is incredible to think that the multi-player gameplay was only added at the last minute. Goldeneye 007 brings back so many fond memories. Other favorite N64...

I would guess that Christiano Ronaldo counts as a video game character. As such, he would get my vote. He lives an incredibly fun life, plays a game for a living, is arguably the world's greatest footballer and worth an estimated £152 million. Those are four pretty good reasons to want to be...

Have you played the mobile version of Game of Thrones that was released by Telltale Games? I think this type of game lends itself better to PC than console or mobile, but as mobile games go, I found this to be pretty decent. I am almost certain that you can download the games for your PC via Steam.

Being an Arsenal fan must be incredibly frustrating. They have a lot of talent, though also a number of player that are inconsistent or oft-injured, a major problem for winning a competition like the Champions League. I also think they are too light up front to pose any real challenge. In fact...

I am in the same boat as you. FIFA is one of the very few games that I pre-order every year. The roster updates and ensuring that the leagues are up to date with the most recent promotion's and relegation's are worth the pre-order price to me. I have owned every FIFA since FIFA 97 and the...

The most recent mobile game that I bought and have become addicted to is International Cricket Captain 2015. This works surprisingly well as a mobile game. I had my doubts that a game that is this intensive and requires an extensive use of menus and sliders would be a pain free experience but lo...

That is a great point regarding no online play. This would be a negative, although hopefully this mythical desert island has wifi which would allow us to circumvent this problem. :) Offline modes would certainly keep me entertained for a while, and the fact that no two games are ever the same...

I know it didn't get the greatest of reviews, but I actually really enjoyed Spartacus Legends. Yes, it was rather bare bones but I found it to be hugely fun and rather addicting. The hit detection (and unresponsive controls) could have used some work and the storyline really needed to be...

I am also apparently one of the few that has never played a single minute of any Final Fantasy game. Most people tend to look at me as though I have two heads when I tell them that I have never played any of the games and have no interest in doing so. I guess in reality, very few people can...

I was a big fan of True Detective (more so season 1 than season 2) and think this could have the potential to be a fun murder/mystery/crime/detective game in the same vein as LA Noire, Heavy Rain and Indigo Prophecy. There is a real lack of high quality games of this genre so it could certainly...

For me, I would choose the latest iteration of FIFA. I have invested more hours in this series than any other. This decision was made even easier when taking into consideration that sports games and open-world games have great replay value which is perfect for when stranded on a Desert Island.

The one thing with EA sports games is that most of us that play them care about getting the latest player/roster update. For me, it is worth buying the newest FIFA game each year if only for the fact that the teams are updated and the leagues are correctly represented. The other thing with EA...

I typically use Youtube for music - both new and old. I also find a number of the self-help videos to be extremely useful also. It is far more convenient to watch someone install/fix/make/create something as opposed to reading instructions or using a trial and error method. Speaking of Youtube...

One thing that helps to game on a budget in this day and age is the multiple channels to buy new and used games from. Nowadays, you have so many different resources available to buy used games from whether it be Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, Gamestop, Gamefly, Craigslist, etc. The more options...
