Oh no! Is your favorite console in the dreaded trash tier??? Have no fear, this is purely subjective! I'm only one man with a strictly limited amount of time, and the fact that I was able to conjure up 285 video games about which I have reasonably informed opinions is a minor miracle in and of itself. I have my own biases due to personal tastes and my place in history, and that definitely shows up here. These consoles are mostly average to good consoles, mind you, I just haven't had enough time to touch their libraries in the slightest. To qualify here, you had to score between 1 and 14 points. In order of most-least trashy.
Reminder-good games get 1 point, excellent games get 5 points, and perfect/iconic games get 10 points.
Atari 2600 (0 points):
The trashiest of the trash tier. I can't come up with a single game I enjoy for this console, and my library that I own for this beautiful piece of trash is simply a copy of Pac-Man, a dreadful port of an incredible game. See "Arcade".
Sega Master System (1 points):
Good Games:
Phantasy Star
This is the only Master System game I've ever played, and I played a port due to the fact that I don't have a console, so I'm breaking my rules a bit here.
Saturn (1 point):
Good Games:
Nights into Dreams
Nights into Dreams is fun! Umm...
Dreamcast (0 points):
I actually play my Dreamcast a bit, but it's mostly to play the immaculate port of Marvel v. Capcom 2, which doesn't count under my rules. I really need to get into this console more. I'm bumping it above Master System and Saturn because I play it more.
PSP (6 points):
Good games:
Hot Shots Golf Open Tee 2
Excellent games:
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
I actually really like my PSP, but I use it a lot to play PS1 classics on, and there really are only two original PSP games that I would classify as good or excellent. I also don't have the best collection. I think this one could climb higher, given more time to explore the library.
Xbox (11 points):
Good games:
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (I might upgrade this if I get a chance to play it more, but I'm comfortable here for now)
Excellent games:
Halo
Halo 2
It hurts to put this one above the PSP, but I really did have tons of fun playing Halo and Halo 2 with my friends at parties. I'll just have to deal with my rigidly inflexible rules.
Wii (14 points):
Good games:
Wii Play
Tiger Woods Golf
Mario Kart Wii
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Excellent games:
Xenoblade Chronicles
Wii Sports
I like the Wii! The Wii is also trash, with a few bright spots here and there. I still need to run more Super Mario Galaxy, but I'm confident it would get slotted in here somewhere.
That's it for the trash tier! Check back in tomorrow for the next tier, and again, I apologize if your favorite was relegated to my trash.
