#25 - Street Fighter EX2 Plus
Released: 1999
Genre: Fighting
Rating: ****1/4 stars
Best Moment: Getting your ass handed to you by Bison II - he's nearly indestructible!
Street Fighter isn't my natural fighting game but it's one that I have played over the years. I do prefer Tekken and even Mortal Kombat, but the SF games are tremendous too. I never did play Street Fighter 3, instead I played Street Fighter EX2 Plus. It's a spinoff of the main SF games and for some reason I just loved playing this. I loved playing as Sagat, he was always my go-to character, where as back in the original Street Fighter II days I was always Ryu. I love the Super Combos you can do in the SFEX2+ game, and for me that's what makes this game stand out well against the many, MANY other SF games. But also, going against the secret Bison II boss is an awesome moment, even if it's ridiculously hard to even give him a good fight, nevermind actually beating him! Apparently you can unlock him in SFEX3, although I never did play that entry in the series. Anyway, if you're looking for a good Street Fighter game on the original Playstation, in my opinion, this is the best.

My Top 50 Favourite Playstation 1 Games: #32

If you missed #33 click here.

#32 - Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Released: 1997
Genre: Platform
Rating: **** stars
Best Moment: "Hello. Hello! Follow me. Okay! *farts* Teeheee. Stop it. Okay!"
Let's be honest here,  it's not the game play that most people remember about this game, but the brilliant communication options that are available that people talk about. Why? Because this game was HARD. It's very funny, and it has the pretty damn innovative GameSpeak communication scenario built into the gameplay, but this game is so so difficult. If this game was a little bit easier, it'd be considered an actual genuine classic. But because of the fact that it was so difficult, it became a cult classic instead. Still, it's a fine game, with some really good graphics, a surprisingly dark story and some great humour. I've not played the Remaster that came out a few years ago, but apparently that's awesome too, if you wanted to play a refreshed version of it.
