=)

[Aislin]

6.Metal Gear Solid 1/2 - PSX/2 - Konami
5.Final Fantasy 7 - PSX - Squaresoft
4.Goldeneye - N64 - Rareware
3.Half-Life (and all MODS, particularly Counter-Strike, the mods really make the game.) - PC (and PS2, but that version blows) - Sierra
2.Diablo 2 (and LOD Expansion) - PC - Blizzard Entertainment
1.StarCraft (and BW Expansion) - PC - Blizzard Entertainment


Final Fantasy 7 may be the best RPG ever, and Metal Gear Solid series was amazing, but the ones above it in the list are there for their replayability.

I quit diablo 2, thank the lord, after many months of waking up early before school to get in those last couple Meph Runs, and staying up past midnight to help rush my buddy to Hell Cow level. Everyone knows that was the drug of all PC games.

I STILL play starcraft. Half-life was my First Person Shooter crack. I played that for a year straight.

Goldeneye. That was a gem. I played that for years, and years, and even now (once every like... 5 months) a friend or myself will suggest it, and we'll end up with an eight person round robin tourney of goldeneye. It's rediculous how good that game was.

Blizzard is the master of addiction, will be my final statement.

ALL of those games should be played, if you haven't played them.

[Aislin]

Elder Scrolls III and Devil May Cry are fantastic games too. Play those. NOT devil may cry 2. ONLY Devil May Cry 1, no matter how bad the story, it IS better than the second.

[senocular]

Id just like to just add one more thing... I have never felt more joy, confusion nor pleasurable mental discomfort than I have in Touch Fuzzy, get dizzy in Yoshis Island. Trippy (litterally).

That game also had the BEST_VIDEOGAME_COMMERCIAL_EVER with a fat guy eating at a resturant and then exploding (representative of the scaling techniques used in the game).

good times!

[NaliWarCow]

I know how you feel about diablo 2 aislin. I played that game religiously for about 2 years. Its amazing the joy you can get when some monster drops a few bits of data that is unique or rare. Two summers ago I played at LEAST 12 hours per day. I got a druid up to level 89 in solo halls of the dead runs. It took forever. But now its better, only takes a few days to do that :).

[SureShot]

Isnt it crazy - you get your list done, and then somone else posts something you wish you put on your list :)

I would like to add
Super Mario Kart-Super Nintendo (amazing)
and
All Tony Hawk Games!

Oh yah - and the fact that with all the New Generation of games out the majority of the Favorites are from days gone by, just shows you graphics arent everything!

[upuaut]

I like first person shooters. As far as they are concerned, I'll always be in love with Quake III for it's online speed and smoothness. HalfLife is a better game, but not online. The best of the best first person shooters that I've played though was "Rogue Spear", a game that requires real thought and skill to get through.

I am however, video game challenged. I've not owned a gaming system since 89, and the PC hardly has the range of games for it that those systems do. So alas.. I must claim that I am not a good judge of these things and leave it to you guys who are much less ignorant in this area.

:)

[Marz]

Am I the only one that thoguht GOldeneye was an extremely gay looking game?!?!?

Then again.. I was playing Tribes aroudn the time that came out probably so I was like.. let's see.. Good gfx vs piss poor gfx..

[Kitiara]

Final Fantasy VII.
Final Fantasy IX.
Final Fantasy VIII.
Final Fantasy... You get the idea? :)

In addition, I would also like to cite Xenogears, the Silent Hill series (which I soon discovered is best when not played after midnight when you're drunk) and UFO:Enemy Unknown which hooked me for hours.

Oh, and Secret of Mana.

And Weaponlord, on the SNES.

[brianmanden]

My favorites are ...


Impossible Mission (C=64)

WarCraft 2 (PC)

StarCraft BroodWars (PC)

Counter Strike (PC)


In no particular order - they are all great games ...

Ouups forgot ...

UFO Enemy unknown (thnx for the hint - Kit ) ;)

[senocular]

[pet peeve rant]

ITS BROOD WAR!

I can't believe how many people call it brood wars. Its like 60% of the players. When was there more than one war? Blizzard should have just named it brood wars to start so that everyone could get it right. :!:

[/pet peeve rant]

RESIDENT EVIL! all of them!

good call :) I've never beed so scared in a video game EVER! That first time I played and those dogs jumped out the window - I almost crapped myself!
wooooooooooo!

[Kitiara]

Nope, Silent Hill is much worse than Resident Evil. Resi relies on blood and guts and stuff to scare you, Silent Hill does it psychologiacally, which works on more levels... :evil:

[Guig0]

Hey kity, i was just talking with a friend at work, and he told me the exactly same thing... creepy huh?

I´ve never played silent hill, but i´m gonna borrow from him...any advices?

[SureShot]

I remember playing Silent Hill on the PSone with my girlfriend. She just likes to watch me play and help me with puzzles and such (I know, I know, I'm a lucky S.O.B.) and I dont remember ever being so scared, I mean - REALLY scared. The R.E. series is great and I own them all and of course they are all scary. They have that "oh no look out behind you!" or "CRASH! the window!" but Silent Hill has the "this is screwing with my mind!!!"

I will never forget hearing little kids talking and that creepy music! *shutters* Great game!

[Kitiara]

I´ve never played silent hill, but i´m gonna borrow from him...any advices? Yeah... Run. :)

Seriously, when you first get a gun, you're rubbish at aiming with it (because the character is a normal guy and not used to shooting) so shoot where you can, but if in doubt, run. It won't count against you. You'll get better, honest. Just takes practice (on his part).

Listen to your radio... If it starts crackling (a horrible noise when it's 2am and you're drunk) then you know something's around the corner and to beware.

Don't remember any of the puzzles being too difficult until a bit later on. Most of it is logical and fairly linear. Just keep your eyes open for anything.

It took me a while to complete it, but then you've got about five different endings depending on what you do in the game... :)

[mariofan]

how about these :

super mario bros 1
super mario bros 2
super mario bros 3
super mario land
super mario world
super mario 64
super mario sunshine
super mar........

you get the picture!

no honestly:
mario 64
ocarina of time
max payne
beatmania
tetris - it never ages
ico
shenmue
jet set radio
mario world - probably the only game i can continue to play all the way through, without getting bored!

oh, that damn bowser . . . . coming peach

[Guig0]

can´t wait to play that game =)

[sintax321]

There are way to man ygreat games to list the best. If i had to choose one i think it would be athis game i had for my intelavision. It was a 2 player tank game. you just moved around and shot each other untill one person reached 20 hits. That or FF1 for NES. I wasted a ton of hours on that game. With all the advaces and graphics still i come back to these as 2 of the best i ever played.

[SureShot]

OH I just rememberd!!

Super Mario RPG - what a fun game!! The only RPG (except Zelda, but it's more of an adventure I guess) that I ever really liked!

There are just too many.... hahaha :beam:

[sintax321]

ya Super mario RPG did kick ***. One of the last games ever made for the machicne.

[mariofan]

i got mario rpg rom for emulators if anybody wants / needs it

[PipeTen]

Mario Kart - N64
Mario Kart - GBA
Mario Kart - SNES

[pom]

I'd say the other way around, pipeten :)

And yeah, how could I forget about Tetris? THE best game ever for me, no doubt. And of course, I'm 100% sure I am unbeatable, just like all the people I know who play Tetris :crazy:

[2Aislin2]

Silent Hill is the scariest ****** of a game I've ever played.

Hey kit, remember your first time in the... uh... non-normal... uh... *tries to say without spoiler*, the place where fence is floor... everywhere...

....get what I mean?

that was one of the most freaky things I've ever seen/heard/etc

[SureShot]

oh my god - I remember that 2Aislin2 - that's crazy!!

That's it. I am going home and rent that game tonight :beam:

(maybe I will wait until I am done beating my URA Zelda I got with my Zelda Wind Waker Pre-Order for gamecube.... let the drooling begin ;))

[2Aislin2]

hahahahaha, I remember that too, Sureshotyou'renotbannedlikeIam.

[SureShot]

What's up? Why are you banned?

were you a bad little Aislin?

Some Kirupa Muscle had to be flexed or what?

[Marz]

I think I'm in love.. :love:

Kit loves every single game I love.. Silent Hill was a fantastic game.. Same with the second one.. helluva alot better than Resident Evil.. Final Fantasy Series is gold.. Even Mystic Quest and tactics... I still play the original Final Fantasy on my NES.. have the box and book and everything...

Then.. She said Xenogears and Secret of Mana.. I'm currently at Deus in Xenogears.. God.. That was one helluva storyline.. Don't you agree Kit?

Secret of Mana.. Stole my heart... Enough said.. hehe

but.. anyways.. yeah.. I need to find someone around here like that *lmao*

Later on :)

[Kitiara]

:blush: Awww...
Kit loves every single game I love.. Silent Hill was a fantastic game.. Same with the second one.. helluva alot better than Resident Evil.. Final Fantasy Series is gold.. Even Mystic Quest and tactics... I still play the original Final Fantasy on my NES.. have the box and book and everything... Agreed... I went out and got every single Final Fantasy game that's available on the Playstation (would you believe I even went out and bought Ehrgeiz because it had FF7 characters in it? I did.). Both the Silent Hills... Cracking games. I like the psychological aspect. It does your head in, because your imagination thinks of worse things than the game actually throws at you. You make it worse for yourself. :)
Then.. She said Xenogears and Secret of Mana.. I'm currently at Deus in Xenogears.. God.. That was one helluva storyline.. Don't you agree Kit? It was truly unbelieveable... Since Xenogears isn't available in Europe (argh!) I had to go out, get my Playstation chipped, then import a copy from America just to play it...
Secret of Mana.. Stole my heart... Enough said.. hehe Absolutely... That was the first proper RPG I ever played, and I just got hooked on it. Plus you could play it as a two player thing, so I could get a mate round and play the thing for hours.
Hey kit, remember your first time in the... uh... non-normal... uh... *tries to say without spoiler*, the place where fence is floor... everywhere... Yeah, I remember that. I kind of termed it "The Dark Side", for want of a better explanation at that point. It was like, you were in the normal town at one point then all of a sudden you were in this really nasty place. Soon as you landed there all you could think of was what was out to get you... :cyclops:

[Guig0]

you are making me jealous! :bad:

[pom]

Secret of Mana was AWESOME!! :love:

[mariofan]

what about crono trigger? that was an intelligent game!

[Kitiara]

Ah, another Secret of Mana fan!

[SureShot]

I'm with you Mario Fan, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross were good games for sure.

My Special Girl is really into RPG's, she is playing Skies of Arcadia Legends right now actually :) so I get to see em all.

[Kajinku]

1) Giants: Citizen Kabuto
2) StarCraft
3) Commandos
4) HomeWorld
5) Hitman: Codename 47

[kirupa]

Ah, how could I have forgotten Giants: Citizen of Kabuto - brilliant game with good voice/acting, nice scenery. Too bad I didn't get the cool version that comes with a GF3 gfx card set - I got the one that comes with a SB Audigy instead. Still, one of the best games I've played.

Cheers!
Kirupa :cool:

[sintax321]

Ya Secret of Mana was kick ***. I liked Secret of Evermore as well.

[Random Hero]

Kirby's Adventure (just started playing, but pretty cool), Mario 2 & 3, Zelda DX (have played 9 million times), Super Smash Brothers (N64) GO KIRBY!

[lava]

1. Super Mario Brothers 3 (NES)
2. Joust (Atari)
3. Halo (XBOX)
4. Robotech Battlecry (XBOX)

[Lynx]

...of all time?! .... *thinkin* .... I think it's win98

j/k, I cant say which one is my favorite.

NFS (1-6) - I spent more time playing it than other ones.


I was thinkin about great games and I thought they would be: MAFIA, Max Payne, WarCraft3.

[Law]

The games i enjoyed the most when i played them are not necessarily the games i would enjoy the most now. That's partly because I played them so much then and partly becayuse games are getting better. The ones I enjoyed the most when I played them probably where
Orcarina of time, Doom(the first one), and Link to the past.

[Kitiara]

I am with Eilsoe, it's got to be the Final Fantasy series.

Never before have I played games so involved. They're fantastic. The only thing that comes close is Secret Of Mana on the SNES, and that was by Squaresoft too. :)

WHAT??!! did you ever play Mario Golf? Or Perfect Dark? Or Conkers Bad Fur day? Or Excitebike? or James Bond? or Banjo Kazooi? or Shadow Man? or Mario Tennis? or.... I could go on and on :) I absolutly loved my 64!

As for my favorite game(s) of all time....

Console - Zelda LTTP, Zelda tOoT, Zelda WW and Super Mario World

PC - Sim City 4, UT, Medal of Honor (and spearhead)

[grimdeath]

well if you like rehash wich is what nitendo does with its titles then yes it has great games lmao NOT, i like originality, nice graphics nor happy mascots make a game its about gameplay

Oh i forgot to mention splatter house a very good creepy game

[Law]

i dont think zelda and mario can be beat

[SureShot]

well all of the games I mentioned above were brand new except for Excite bike and Perfect dark which was a take off of James Bond, kind of.

As for gameplay - Nintendo is the king of Gameplay (in my opinion anyway ;) ) Look at the Zelda and Mario Series of games - both unmatched in that departement...

[pom]

Hey, what's wrong with Tetris? Definitely my favorite game. Most definitely the kind of game I'd take with me on a desert island :P

[SureShot]

yah very true - it would be tough to get sick of that one... :)

[Kitiara]

Sometimes the simplest games are the best.

But I never got bored of Final Fantasy. I went back to FF7 at the weekend, even though I've completed it about four times already...

[thoriphes]

my favorite FF is actually ff9, but i can pick up 7 anytime i want; story's great and gameplay is superb. i always found it to be one of the more depressing FFs, next to 6. it's probably the music and the twists in the game. plus Sephiroth's the best villain ever ;).

[Kitiara]

Sephiroth was great for a villain, couldn't agree more. The only thing that annoyed me about 7 was the lousy translation they did on occasions.

I really enjoy 9 as well, it's more light hearted and funny that some of the others. 8 was a little strange compared to 7 though...

And I've thought of another game - Rainbow Islands on the Amiga. I played that for hours. And XCom UFO : Enemy Unknown...

[thoriphes]

i barely even consider 8 to be a final fantasy since it was so tangential to the others. just because it had the name "Square" behind it, i played it. the music wasn't that bad, though, but the entire storyline needed to be changed.

[B-Dawg]

GRAND THEFT AUTO
VICE CITY

coming soon on PC!!!!!!!!!

[Kajinku]

Wow, huge question. I think the game I've played the most with was the first Sonic on the Sega MegaDrive (Genesis). I really enjoyed Commandos, StarCraft, Giants, Hitman and HomeWorld on PC. Soooo, let's saaaay... StarCraft for PC :)

I *never* played Final Fantasy. I hear from many people it's great. What is it about? It has nothing to do with the film, right? (which I saw)

system shock 2 was an incredible game...for the time. it was revolutionary because its about 10 years old. it came out the same time doom 1 did and because of that, received no fame.

[Law]

Kjainku - Final fantasy is a series of RPG games.
I'm not an expert on them but in all of them you get a main character and some others. Each character has their own weapon and you can use magic and summon things to help you.

[senocular]

Zombies Ate My Neighbors!!!

...well thats third to Zelda and Mario ;)

OK, thanks. Do you know if there are Final Fantasy games for PC? Or are they all on PlayStation? 'Cause I want to check them out to see what the fuss is all about :)

[Law]

7&8 are on the PC i don't know about the others.

[Guig0]

i know that i´ll get in to trouble but...


Final fantasy is not that great Kajinku... unless you like to waste ours in boring conversations instead of getting in to action :bad:

[Kajinku]

So, if I get this right, it's like a "Hitman - Codename 47" or an "Alice"? Well, if they talk less then in "Alice", it's OK. :)

I'll try to find the 7 or 8 second hand... see what it is. I'll post my review after that. ;)

[thoriphes]

eh, not a lot of people like spending 40+ hours on a single game. but it's just like reading a book, though only you get to interact with the story.

[Guig0]

don´t get me wrong... FF7 has a great story, and worthy of my attention, but the rest of the FF series has too much too boring talk compared to fun time.

[AnOraK]

changes with every game i play...

just now i'm kicking *** in black hawk down...

far too easy though!!!

so was the fellowship of the ring...

quake 3 was awesome in multiplayer mode...

half life + all expansion packs...now, that was a game...

[fez]

all the myst games were goodl
dink smallwood (free download www.rtsoft.com or at www.cnet.com) is hilarious. the dialogue is great.

[mariofan]

super monkey ball is a great example of what a modern game should really be...

[thoriphes]

hehe, you sure love that gamecube, don't you?

[Troll_axethrowe]

The best games EVER are:

1. FF7 (If you havn't played it, do it now)
2 Monkey island 1-3
3. counterstrike/diablo 2 (d2 gets boring after a while)

[sintax321]

The GTA series. Thats all i have to say.

Just like Animal Crossing (or something like that).

[SureShot]

Here we go again.... :(

Once you play the game - then give your opinion.

No one else has said "your game sounds stupid" or "like crap" to anyone else - so let's not start that ok. You are to post your favorites... If you agree with someone great, if you dont - dont put someone else's game down.

[Iammontoya]

Been a gamer forever.... let's see..

loderunner
lemmings
monkey island
Leisure Suit Larry (almost all)
C&C - except Tiberian Sun
Title by Sierra (cant remember the name) Manny and Meche Colomar..the guy was the grim reaper... AWESOME and funny. I'll have to think about it.
Half Life
MOHAA
Soldier of Fortune (2 only)
Deus X
System Shock 2 - AWESOME
Unreal
The incredible Machine
Worms
Splinter Cel

Im sure Im forgetting about 50 of them.

[lava]

I'd have to say that Deus X is the greatest game ever... I had lots of fun playing it.

[SureShot]

This is great. I have a good number of friends who play video games all the time and for the most part we all like the same kind of games - sure we all have our favorities but on the whole we're pretty much in agreement.

Then I come here and look at the amount of different games that everyone else likes and it's just crazy. Games that I havent even heard of are peoples favorites and that just makes me want to go out and find them and at least try them once. I mean if they are someone's favorite game they have to be pretty good...

I love these threads.

[twilight]

1) final fantasy 3/6 (SNES!!!)

2)chrono trigger (SNES)

A good story line beats good graphics anyday

3)CS

soooo addictive

ummm i prefer good gameplay over graphics or story, if its not fun or interesting its no good IMHO, its outrageous i dont understand why people think great graphics means its a great game, i dont want to start a console war but i get this alot from co workers they have a xbox and say man psx2 sucks cause its inferior in the graphics department or the specs i honestly could care less about the graphics hell why do you think the game boy is still around??? it has fun games to play not great graphics good games and the portability thats why the game boy is a success and will continue to be until some other company comes in and gets a better handheld and all the games the game boy has and then some

[thoriphes]

i don't care what anyone says about graphics. i would choose gameplay over gfx any day. i still love playing classic games even today.

[mariofan]

i like to remember the old days of gaming - but every time i go back for more - the same games i used to love and worship dont actually feel that special no more - they are too easy, they are too predictable and mostly they are full of lots of bug (why did we put up with this). Apart from true classics that never die or age, most old games should just be fondly remembered, not replayed.......

just me thinking.... oh ****, i better go have a blast on elite......

:m:

[Iammontoya]

now that you mention that..

I forgot three.. (of all time.. right?)

Leather Goddesses of Phobos
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Zork


How's that for going back in time.

FYI.. I finished all of those games (no cheats). I tried to go back and I just did not have the patience anymore. We are spoiled!

hehhe

[Rockstar]

oh oh.. i forgot.. suikoden I,II,III
huh?? of all time? suikoden I

[Stanley]

Anybody of you ever owned a commodere 64 ?
Maniac Mansion (lukasfilm) was the game at that time that made me lose many hours of sleep...

It didn't matter if the graphics were totally crappy.
Even today, good graphics alone will NEVER save a bad storyline.

S.

re-edit: hey twilight! You already said that last part... missed it the first time. So: indeed !

[Iammontoya]

Commodore 64? I had a Commodore VIC 20, a C64, 128.... ah.. the joy!

Oh.. while Im in memory lane.. three more games came to mind.

Full Throttle... awesome, awesome. They're coming out with Part II!

Grim Fandango... Another great one no one has heard about. If you like Monkey Island, get the last two I just mentioned.

Team Fortress. Without TF there would be no counterstrike. They are finally coming out with TF2... Hope it's good.

And Im sure I could go on, and on, and on..

[Lunar_4u]

Has neone ever player shining force, landstalker or mean bean machine on the genesis/megadrive, those were some classic games. Mean bean machine was really fun i thought!!!

:beam:

[mariofan]

mean bean machine is on the sonic mega collection for the gamecube!!!! check it out!!!

iammontoya - i had a c64 - the old one styled just like a vic 20 yeah it rocked! (and the games were rather easy to copy.....)

does anybody remember IK+ (international karate)

[Lunar_4u]

cool its a real good game, hence the re-release on gamecube prob :D, i been tempted to get a gamecube cause marios, zelda etc rock, but feel weary after the n64 just went dead and i only ever found a few quality games on it (Zelda,Goldeneye, Mario, mario cart,banjo kazooie) dunno if i missed any, they were good games but i needed more of em lol :P i get through lots of games :D

Oh and ik+ was amazing :D especially the ball rebounding bonus level, they got really fast

[mariofan]

you could press a button on ik+ and the oponents pants fell down!! that was really funny at the time!

dude - get a cube, you will not be dissapointed....

[Stanley]

International Karate rocked !

And what about some other early generation games on PC

LHX attack chopper
Chuck Yeagers Air Combat

I was hooked on action / flight sims those days

S

[Law]

one of the main reason for me wanting to get a gameboy adavnce is to get a link to the past. Me and my friend got quite far then(because of a dodgy old snes) our game got deleted. But we still persisted and started again and got farther. I left the game at another freins house one time and it mysteriously disappeared, so i have still to this day never completed the game.

[mariofan]

i completed it this week! but ive still to get a few items...

[Law]

i need to get a gba sp. do you know of any uk shops that are doing good deals mariofan

[mariofan]

i got mine on import - but go to game, you can get one with zelda for £110.00
i got a silver one but its scratched allready (but the black and blue ones wont scratch, cos they are not painted....)

[Law]

the trouble is they're almost as much as a game cube. you can get gamecubes now for £100

[mariofan]

i know but you cant take them everywhere with you... and the advance is really a super nes!!!!!

[Law]

I might have to get both.

[mariofan]

can anybody remember the game - the secret diary of adrian mole... it was based on the book of the same title... really bizarre

[Law]

i read the book but i can't imagine a game of it.

[mariofan]

it was a text based game and you had to choose what he would do at certain points, this then effected the rest of the story... like i said, it was really bizarre...

[kirupa]

Wow - I just played Zelda: Link to the Past again a few days ago, and I'm addicted to that game yet again. I'm almost done with the last castle in the dark world....again :)

I found out that Ether/Hammer is a great combination on any non-magic unit. Ether freezes them and Hammer shatters them leaving behind a magic potion almost all the time. A great way to beat the Ice kingdom and any other castle with a lot of units that need to be destroyed.

Cheers!
Kirupa :alien:

[SureShot]

K - I had no idea!!! :)

I remember when I found out that if you sprinkle magic on those round red things that fly around they turn to faires I was the happiest kid on the block :)

I can remember sitting down and playing Zelda Link to the Past in one day - from begining to end. I loved that game so much.

[kirupa]

Hehe yeah - I found that out a while ago - always great. You know the small rotating set of four stars that follow you and turn you into a bunny for a few seconds? Well, if you sprinkle magic dust on them while they are standing stationery, you get a fairy from them as well.

Also, instead of throwing bombs on conveyor belts and timing the explosions just right on the last tower, simply create a block using the Cane of Somaria (I think that's how it is spelled). Once the block has been created, throw it on the conveyor belt and press Y once the block has reached the orb. The block, as you may know, explodes into four fireballs that head off in all four directions - setting of the orbs that alternate the blue/red ground hindrances :)

Gah - the game is so fun that I am taking time away from homework to write about it hehe. There is just something about the game, the music, the colors, the story, the quest, and the people that is just so fascinating even 10 years after I first played it. So many fond memories associated with that game =)

Cheers!
Kirupa :cyclops:

[SureShot]

my god - I had no idea about the block thing - great work :)

hahaha, arent video games great. This is why Zelda Link to the Past is in my top 3 games of all time....

Tails was ok in sonic 2 i guess, but he really annoyed me. The advantage of tails was that my sister could control him whilst i did the actual playing of the game. It kept her quiet and happy. Nowadays she just sits around watching MTV all day*. The only time she moves out of the chair it seems is to either goto school or to get food. All kids that age seem to be like that now. I weep for her generation.:*(

*(i may have spent a lot of my youth on computers, but at least i was being constuctive! and i went outside.....sometimes)

[RussianBeer]

umm... Best games kinda hard..

1. Close Combat 3-5. < by far... Must be the most realistic real
time strategy game, where how fast you click wont matter if u win or not.
2. Day Of Defeat. <- Great First person shooter..
3. Rogue Spear <Good tactical FPS
4. Baldur's gate II < My favorite RPG, with loads of quests and stuff to do.
5. Half-Life < The Best FPS storyline..
6. Counter Strike <stupid people make it #6
7. Final Fantasy 7 maybe even (2 & 3) <blows the rest of the Final Fantasies out of the water!
8. Ceasar III < Great city builder sim
9. Natural Selection < One of the best Mods for halflife.. its: Star craft + Aliens Vs. Preditor = Natural selctions
10. Ghost Recon.

I loved the character. I did the same thing with my brother... he was Tails, just jumping around, and I was Sonic, trying to save the world... or animals, whatever.
Knuckles is cool too. I like his hair... or whatever that is.
Tell your sister to do some sports or something. ;)

Here's an article I found today on IGN: http://top100.ign.com/1-10.html

Looks like my favorite, Zelda, makes it twice in the Top 10 spot =) Only if Mega Man X would have made that list hehe.

Cheers!
Kirupa :P

[TheOrangeOne]

I have just spent most of the past week playing the new ZELDA. This game absolutly rocks!I have completed once already and yet i cannot seem to stop playing it. So many side quests, so much treasure, so many mini games, so much unstoppable FUN!

Thankyou Nintendo, i pledge allegiance to you eternally.

:link: the orange one :link:

[SureShot]

K man - that's a great list eh? I am a member of IGN (an insider they like to call us) so I have been checking this out for the last 2 weeks. I think they did a really good job on the list and some of them I have totally forgot about, so it was refreshing to see some of the titles again.

One thing that's too bad about these lists is there is always going to be games left off the list that others think are very worthy....

[kirupa]

I guess the list doesn't include many recent games such as WarCraft III. Yet, Metroid Prime is there....

Cheers!
Kirupa :P

[SureShot]

Yah good point Kirupa - I dont think Zelda Wind Waker was in there either...

I guess we will have to wait for another 2 years when they do it again... :)

[SureShot]

you know what, I dont think Mario Bros 3 was on the list.... that's a travisty. That was one of the best games ever! It introduced so many new things... not to mention it had the biggest marketing campaign ever - "The Wizard" Movie :)

[Digitalosophy]

What vids to you guys play?

Imma Medal Of honor kinda guy

[SureShot]

One of these posts again eh... ? :)


I am just now back into Zelda Wind Waker and loving every single solitary min of it - I am so hooked it's not even funny. I finally have some free time from work and Link is taking up every second :)

I also really enjoy NBA Street 2, Rayman 3 (on sale for dirt cheap and it's a fantastic game - go get it if you like Platformers that are absolutly amazing and full of crazy art and colours, it's like a permenant Acid trip! hahah)

Digital - merged your thread with a thread done previously =) WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne right now for me.

[SureShot]

Dipi - nope, it's for all systems... I have it for GameCube cause all my buddies have one. I would suggest getting it for Xbox if you can though... I think it has a bit better visuals and quicker saves. Either way though - on IGN all 3 games got a 9.4... it's a fantatastic game.

7) Advance Wars (GBA)
8) Civilization series (PC)

I would like Street Fighter more if I was any good at it!

There are many more games I like loads, but these ones are particularly memorable.

[SureShot]

Yoshi's Island is one I never tried, yet I have read in many different places that it's considered the best 2d platformer ever. I should really give it a try.

[Mik3]

CounterStrike
Day of Defeat
The Getaway
The James Bond games for consoles

[Digitalosophy]

ahh but what about

In addition to my choices on pages 2 and 3, I want to add Devil May Cry, Silent Hill 3 and Final Fantasy X. :) All three fantastic games, for various reasons. :)

I'm also going to have to get Final Fantasy X-2 when it comes out, because I'm Squaresoft's *****. :P

First off - you called it the "trashcube", not very nice. Second you said Metroid Prime "sucks", again not very nice and Third - you havent played Zelda Wind Waker... unforgivable.


:)

[reverendflash]

I can't believe people take this kind of thing seriously...

people actually pay $60 to own a game that goes into a $200 machine that does nothing else? and don't give me the "it's a Cd/DVD player also" routine... a DVD player costs under $80... then if you want more memory, or a better controller...

and then they argue over which game is better...

<b>GREAT TASTE!

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[NaliWarCow]

Well rev, that's why i play games on pc. I spent the same money for my pc that you spent for yours to work on. Plus, since I would have a pc even if i didn't play games, I don't see it as wasting money.

Then think about the value of games. A good game can easily give you 100 hours of fun for $30-50. A movie gives you about 2 hours of fun for $5. So it seems like a very good value IMO.

[reverendflash]

I don't use my PC for gaming, simply because if I break it, I can't work. It's just too valuable to risk.

and I'm not surprised at the $$$ spent... it's the fact that people actually argue about this...

Personally, I buy older games, for an older system that work just fine, the graphics may be slightly chunkier than others, but they work just fine for me and my friends. If we spend a total of 2 hours a week playing video games, it is a week where there was absolutely nothing else to do...

real life social interaction is so much more fun than video games... IMO

thats what backups are for rev to save your precious games in case they break ;) and incase you dont know the xbox is very hackable it even runs linux and office among other windows apps its really a multi-media machine you can use it as a divx player on which you can save movie on its internal HD and take it with you and watch movies among other kewl stuff so its really a low budget c if you see where im heading rev :beam:

[kh3mical]

I cant believe many people (if not any) have not said perfect dark, That has to be the best game on N64 that has ever come out!

Also, Alot of people say D2, Starcraft. If they want they can join Clan K3mical (battle.net only), Just go to www.k3mical.cjb.net , sign up and whenever ur online u can go to channel:Op K3mical, and organize a game or just chat!

hackable is fine for someone else. I realize xbox can do a lot of other things... it is, however, still a game machine, everything else it does is extra, and usually not up to specs of the machine that is designed for that...

;)


also, if I can't work, I can't make any money to buy games!

if my computer breaks, it is not a situation where I can just restore my work. If it breaks, I <b>don't</b> work. Chances are, if it breaks, it isn't simply a restore issue....

If it were that simple, then why don't you spend the extra bux to make your car 4 wheel drive and a rock climber. I mean you can use it to drive to work during the week, and if it breaks, all you have to do is fix it so you can get to work on Monday... right?

[TheOrangeOne]

mario? pfff! I dont understand. Sega had a cool supersonic blue hedghog that kicked an evil doctors *** in each game. Nintendo had a short fat italian plumber who spent his time eating magic mushrooms. Please go read this ----> http://www.rahindeed.com/reviews/games/sonic.html

[asphaltcowboy]

of course sonic was good.. no doubt, but there were some other really brilliant games on the mega drive.. in fact.. it is probably my favourite console of all time.. I always much preferred it to my friends snes..

and yes, sonic is so much better than mario (character-wise :))

EDIT: Orange, you spelt Robotnik wrong ;)

[Kajinku]

I agree! De Genesis / MegaDrive is the best cosole ever! EVER! I still don't get why the DreamCast didn't get the attention it diserved.

Orange, you evil Sonic maniac! ;)

[asphaltcowboy]

yeah, Dreamcast was the most underrated console ever.. it had so many great games.. it's a shame it didnt survive.. with the right support it could have been amazing.. I can't understand it.. what a waste :-\

[Kajinku]

I'm thinking of buying one with a couple of games. They are so cheap now!

[TheOrangeOne]

it did get some attention, but the playstaion already had an established market. Before the days of 32 bit consoles, computer gaming was still pretty elite and considered for kids. Since the 32 bit "next generation" revolution consoles have found their ways into the living rooms and computer gaming is now considered a major part of the entertainment industry - some would say it is greater than movie making!.

Sony pushed the envelope and injected the home console into the home lifestyle market. They created games for more mature gamers and thus establshed their own market niche for quite some time. Consequently sony playstation is the most trusted brand as it is the one that most people are already familier with. (Ask your grandma about dreamcast and she wont have a clue, but mention playstion and she will know you mean!)

Because of this, the dreamcast flopped. People already trusted sony and didn't want to chance it on another console. Add to that the fact that PS2 was backwards compatible and thus alreaady had an established game base of well over 500 titles. The dreamcast was great, and i still play mine quite a lot, it just had know chance against the marketing might of sony.

[asphaltcowboy]

eBay is the way forward :) I did consider it.. but I can't afford one.. even at their current price ;)

[TheOrangeOne]

another thing i have noticed since i bought a dreamcast a month ago. - Shenmue is not as good as i remember!

[Kajinku]

the console. the games. the price. :love:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3535840882&category=4305

[TheOrangeOne]

ummm. my firwall blocked the site. what price is it? Does it have 'power stone'?

[Kajinku]

Your work blocked Ebay? I wonder why... ;)

I don't know if the games are super duper:



The games are, Fur Fighters, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 & 2, Ready to Rumble Boxing, Sonic Adventure, Outrigger, Army Men Sarges Heros,Toy Commander, Sonic Shuffle,Saga Sports World Series Baseball 2K1, and Time Stalkers.

I'm not a big fan of the titles so far, except for the Sonic ones. Boxing? Ew. Skating? Yuk. Baseball? Pfff... boring.
It's a black DreamCast (Sega Sports). $100.

If you guys are after older consoles, try Computer Exchange. :) They've got a whole load of traded in games and consoles and stuff, even more obscure things like the Sega Saturn. :P

There's one in Bromley, I get a lot of stuff from there. :)

oh! computer exchange! they had cool comic strips for their adverts! Black dreamcast? wow, never knew they existed. The next game i getting for my DC is shenmue two. Im disapointed playing the first one again, but i still wanna see the second one :)

did you know shenmue was originally for the saturn?

DC has been the best console IMHO it had the most innovative games and revolutionary graphics heck the best fighting game of all time is on the DC only SOUL CALIBUR everything else is just a game, they also introduced the virtual memory cards as well as internet gaming any1 here played Phantasy Star Online??? or any sports game?? heck it was awesome and a new experience to low end users that cannot buy a pc. All in all DC if not the best its was the most innovative console in history IMHO heck xbox just added a HD and took advantage of all the help they gave SEGA in the creation of the DC thus MS making the xbox.

And asphalt shadow dancer is one of the best shinobi games ever, the PS2 version of shinobi is great as well i suggest you check it ut if you havent, im looking forward to ninja gaiden on xbox if its as great as i hope it will be im gonna purchase a xbox just to play that game :beam:

I noticed Shinobi on ps2.. it does look mightily cool.. but i dont own a ps2.. and I dont want to esp :) so I'll have to dream about shinobi instead

:love:

I have shinobi, it is a cool game, but Tenchu blows it out of the water!
