n the world of gaming, there are few surprises. That’s okay though. As gamers, we don’t mind if a game isn’t completely original. But then, if games were always trying to blow our minds with new ideas, we would never know what titles we can trust to give us what we want. Every so often though, something comes along that has to be played to be understood. These games stood out a mile from the crowd, and redefined the way in which gamers looked at gaming. Below are a few examples. If you haven’t played them, buy them. If you are a student like me (or you just don’t have any money), and you can’t afford them, then find some games voucher codes (or books voucher codes, if you can find a book shop that sells games) on the internet somewhere to score some money off! There is no excuse for missing out on these classics.

Here’s the list:

Street Fighter
Not the original “punch the other guy until he falls down” game, but the first one to suggest that the world’s greatest martial artists were all very angry with each other, and had super powers. It formed a massive franchise and was the template for Tekken. Enough said.

Doom
Simply the most groundbreaking first person shooter ever made. It’s still fun and scary today, despite the aged graphics. It set the tone for games like Quake, and even Halo, so it deserves some respect.
