Get yourself a Gameboy Advanced. The Castlevania games, the Mario games, the zelda games, and the upcoming Metroid: Fusion! This is truely one of the best systems on the market right now, portable or not.

Definitely..

Over the last 6 months or so, my friends and I have been randomly revisiting old games. We just bought a bunch of used NES and SNES games at a nearby store. We even were able to beat Ghosts 'n Goblins, a game I had not played for 16 years (and was impossible back then).

Other games we have been playing lately, instead of modern games:

Kid Icarus
Contra 3
Street Fighter 2010 (sleeper NES game from capcom, it is NOT a fighting game)
Ninja Gaiden
Castlevania 1 & 3
Crystalis (best NES game, IMO)
Megaman 1-6
The Gaurdian Legend
Ultima: Quest of the Avatar (this one goes nearly forever)
Super Mario all-stars
Bionic Commando

There are a lot of good old games, you just have to know what to look for. In my case, I had played all of these games in the past, so I remembered what was good. And contrary to what others may say about old games, I found these totally enjoyable in the present.

For modern 2D, I recommend Marvel vs Capcom 2, an amazingly well-done 2D fighting game by capcom, such that it is still popular even after being around for nearly 3 years (and still has a tournament scene).

The Future of Tech Journalism!!!

This article is about the future of tech journalism. Notice the byline at the end? "This article is the editorial opnion of gamespy network. Sponsored by the Intel Pentium 4"

Obviously, it was a well written and insightful article. And it was about all the reasons that new games will need bigger and faster processors. And Intel paid Gamespy to write it. Interesting, not wrong.
