Interesting that they ranked Phantom Hourglass as number 1, nowadays it is considered one of the worst Zelda games... And I don't agree at all.
Wow these games are a choice with the only Pokemon game being Black and white.
I remember this era and more importantly, game journalism from this era. This is what people thought others bought the DS for. Zelda the newest pokemon, and some license rubbish (why is Lego rockband here).
That said there are some real bangers here from Chrono trigger and the world ends with you. Plus some games that would eventually turn into cult classic. Still needs more starfy
People were expecting cartoony Orange Star vs Black Hole with all their favorite COs pal'n around. Instead they were hit with post-apocalyptic, war-torn hellscape that right out of the gate focuses on the brutal realities of war.
It's a great game, but I can see why it wasn't well received.
