SoulCalibur 2 One of the best fighting games of the generation if not THE best. SoulCalibur 2 was a deceptively deep fighting game that was also a quiver in the arrow of gamers who were deeply invested in the "console wars" of the era. It gave the GameCube a much needed win, but it was much more than that and it's a great snapshot of the state of gaming in 2003. 128 Bits is a part of The Irrelevant Podcast Network Want us to talk about a game or have a comment/suggestion?

Ace Combat 4 One of the most complete and deceptively deep games of the era, from the storyline to the music, to the myth building.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of the most unique video games ever and one of the best for PS2. It's ONLY boss battles, that's it.

It's a beautiful experience. 128 Bits is a part of The Irrelevant Podcast Network Twitter:@irrelevantpods Support 128 Bits by donating to their Tip Jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/128-bits
