showed us that we could have a vessel
that defeats hordes of enemies as well
as look good in the process the ship
provides you with both firepower and
those basic amenities you need
besides having your standard ship-based
needs like a sickbay a cargo bay and a
mess hall the real party is at the
cantina where you can do a little
business watch some TV or stop by on
Saturday nights catch Tosh and the
Screamers live man battle cruisers have
all this stuff inside I feel so bad
about sending groups of 20 or so to
their deaths now oh well

previous game crash and Coco Bandicoot

dr. Anne trophy and aku aku’s evil twin
Mucca Mucca i am generous while the warp

30 different levels set in ten different
historical periods whether we were
riding the length of the great wall or
fighting wizards in medieval times it
was all thanks to fists machine number
seven
timber island diddy kong racing
I’m here to help you it’s almost unheard
of for a racing game to need a hub world
but that’s what gets Diddy Kong on this
list with the help of his Genie elephant
friend Taj I challenge you to a race to
face off against the evil Visnjic you
must explore the island using different
kinds of vehicles like your standard
Kart or even an airplane you can explore
by driving or flying either to collect
balloons or just to pick the next track
you can even race Taj around the island
in some challenges so it’s best to get
to know the place pretty well
number six sanctuary Borderlands to see
the fruits of your lords this city’s
gonna ah the city that eventually got an
aerial upgrade serves as the sanctuary
for vault hunters when you were on a
planet as dangerous as Pandora and you
have to face off against alien wildlife
and the creations of the Hyperion
corporation you need a place where you
can be safe while you prepare for your
next treasure hunt this city provides
all that and more including many gun
shops bars and a clinic just remember to
try and obtain a golden key for that
special loot chest number five the tower
destiny welcome to the last safe city on
earth the only place the traveler can
still protect defending the remnants of
humanity can be exhausting so when
you’re not in mortal danger
you can always party in the tower with
your fellow Guardians
located in the dead center of the last
human city called the city the tower has
everything you need to be a deadly
killing machine whether you’re buying
weapons and armor need a new ship or
just need to brag to your friends about
your achievements it’s all done here if
none of that floats your boat
you can even start your own fun in the
tower by playing duck duck goose online
with your buddies
number four Bren tilde Slayer banjo
kazooie
gruntilda is a witch that wants to be
beautiful and to achieve this she
kidnaps banjo sister Judy
this forces Banjo and Kazooie to chase
after the witch into her dangerous lair
this one stands out because not only was
this the central area for the worlds you
had to explore but also because it was
its own challenging world in and of
itself housing many nasty creatures a
few hidden surprises and puzzle pieces
to find making matters worse is the fact
that gruntilda constantly mocks you
while you’re there number three XCOM
headquarters XCOM enemy Unknown welcome
to engineering anything they can dream
up in the research labs we can build it
here if you’re going to be defending
Earth against aliens you’re gonna need a
base of operations but technologically
advanced systems good thing you’re the
commander of the extra-terrestrial
combat unit
what do you see Delta 4 report being in
control of the headquarters not only do
you send your troops out to deal with
the alien crisis but you also must make
sure that they are prepared for the
fight this soldier will now carry a
rocket launcher in addition to a
standard weapon what appears at first to
be a boring micromanaging system soon
turns out to be one of the most
important and difficult aspects of the
game
tactical do we have an eagle of these
coordinates number two
Normandy sr2 Mass Effect 2 & 3
after the first model was destroyed by
the collectors Cerberus stepped in and
rebuilt the Normandy only better and
leather seats it’s faster than any ship
and carries enough firepower to bring
down the strongest of vessels we did
enjoy flying around in the ebon Hawk in
Star Wars The Old Republic but it didn’t
quite have everything we were looking
for like a fish tank
because when you’re not exploring the
universe it’s also nice to have a place
to jam to music get a drink or get some
sweet alien booty
chummy before we warp to our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
that thing back there is your pod
computer your inventory and access
device number one Princess Peach’s
castle Super Mario 64 hey Mario he’s
coming yours truly Princess Toadstool
peach the 3d Mario games have had some
of the most iconic hub worlds in all of
gaming

starship Mario from the galaxy games and
the Isle Delfino from sunshine but we
decided to stick with the most famous
hub world of all it features multiple
floors with secret doors passageways and
hidden stars to find although our
princess was in this castle it still
took us a long time to find her do you
