I've been on a nostalgia binge lately, playing many of the games I was lucky enough to play as a child and I somehow landed on Duke Nukem: Zero Hour.
I have memories of this game, but they're faded and not particularly fond. Honestly, it's a decent game. Nothing revolutionary like Duke 3D, but still a solid and mostly faithful entry in the series. I like the level design and time travel storyline. The controls are dated and laughable, but still serviceable. I have quite a soft spot for "edgy" '90s humor and there's quite a bit of that and humorous pop culture references.
Yup, I was mostly a Nintendo kid growing up and loved my GBCs, GBAs, and DSs, but the PSP was the perfect handheld. Truly a magnificent piece of hardware. Its value proposition hasn’t been beat until the Steam Deck. It hit at that perfect moment when technology and the Internet intersected into the mainstream and were affordable.
A fantastic gaming machine, but also functional for general computing, not to mention that it was a great media player. I remember browsing the Internet frequently, watching movies, using it as an mp3 player, emulating my favorite classic Nintendo games. The homebrew scene was insanely vibrant. I certainly don’t miss the Memory Stick format though. I’m glad that died.
S tier hardware.
