These days you'd be hard pressed to find a list of must-have titles for the newer consoles, but back in the 90's we had it all. From orange marsupials to fireball-throwing combatants and fully polygonal plumbers - it was a pretty special decade. One that's been referenced recently thanks to the HD remastering of ancient fart-happy classic Abe's Odyssey - now named 'New n' Tasty'. The game itself has remained fairly similar mechanically, but has had a full redux in terms of graphics and animation, expertly bringing to life the core feel of the game for a new generation. But what if you don't want a shiny version of something that was just oh-so exquisitely perfect the first time round? Certain older titles are just as easily revisited in 2014 precisely because of their primitive sound effects, blocky-as-hell graphics and hilarious animation. Back when we were all growing up we didn't care about frame-rates or resolutions, we were too busy trying to block off half the TV screen with a wedge of cardboard to slay our best mates at Mario Kart. So how about we forget about all the 4K TVs, the voice-controlled next-generation wannabe-God machines and the games that take decades to come out - it's better to remember a simpler time, with a set of titles that have effectively weaponised nostalgic charm to gargantuan effect.
11. Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear To The Rescue
Now some of you may cry out that the first great Toy Story game was 1996's Toy Story Activity Center (and you'd be right, chronologically at least), but as for a third person action-adventure that put us directly in the purple boots of the coolest Space Ranger there ever was? It's right here. Let's not forget, following the release of both Toy Story movies Buzz Lightyear was simultaneously the most sought-after toy that xmas, and the coolest character on the planet everywhere else. Although your action figure could most likely say a handful of phrases and have some tiny wings pop out his back, it was in the game that we got to live out our Lightyear-embodying fantasies in full. With every gadget seen in the movie easily accessible as well as Buzz's natural ability to flip and spin his way through levels and a fully voiced cast where 90% of the characters were the same as their movie counterparts - this remains one of the greatest movie tie-ins of all time.
