Favorate games?

[N D Hill]

I notice that we have our share of book, music and movie threads so this to me seems like the next logical step. Personally, I consider video games to be very artistically centered, especially now when story, mood, mechanics and visuals are becoming so integral with the advancement of technology.

My favorates are as follows. (This is actually a pretty accurate order too)

The Marathon Trilogy (infinity being my favorate)
Metroid Prime
Super Metroid
The Mortal Kombat series
Turok 2: seeds of evil
The Lord of the Rings film based games
Soul Calibur II
Myth 1 and 2
Deus Ex
Riven
Myst III: Exile
Legend of Zelda: Ocrina of Time
Rogue Leader
starcraft
Turok Evolution
Timesplitters 2

xbox is definatly the best console, gamecube has the best games, and the ps2... well its has a lot of games but if they are on all platforms they are better on gc or xbox

[Jebus]

I think Devil May Cry and Guilty Gear X-2 are the best games now. Without all the classics ofcourse. So the Ps2 is the way to go for me.

[Diesel]

What's your WC3 solo level on bnet ladder, Groover McNab?

[Groover McNab]

I almost never play 1v1. Just 2v2 with random people. Not very good though :D
Back to level 10 from 12 :(

[Lee Perhaps?]

i play wc3 on b.net!



games you must play IMMEDIATELY if you haven't played them before (and even if you have):

fallout 1&2 (PC)
castlevania: symphony of the night (PS)
warcraft 3 (PC)
einhander (PS)
metal gear solid 2 (PS2)
vice city (PS2)
final fantasy tactics (PS)

make sure u dont get any of these confused with their disappointing spin-offs and sequels, such as fallout tactics/brotherhood of steel, any other castlevania game, or final fantasy tactics advance.


i've heard a lot of good stuff about ikaruga, and i like shooters , but i can't find it anywhere... it could definitely replace einhander though if i ever play it...

[Aerythes]

Groover McNab> I was level 13 back in the days when I was young, but I was never really a good team player. :p
Perhaps we can play sometime, maybe with Lee too for a 3v3 heh.

[Groover McNab]

Well my bnet handle is "groovermcnab" so if you see me on bnet, just msg me if you feel like playing.

LEGEND OF ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME

[jelanen]

Top favorites:

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - that game is so awesome. I am not a Star Wars fan by any means (I haven't seen 4-6 =B) but the story, game design, everything is just amazing. It is my favorite game of these new eye-candy game generation.

Crono Triggers - One of the Best RPGs ever. It might be all pixles but it still great. Characters are memoriable, 15 different endings, lots of sidequest, and the plot sometimes hurts your head it is so intense.

Illusions of Gaia - It was a surprise at how good the graphics and the story in this SNES game was. It was the only game that ever made me cry. *smirk* Why it makes the list. I could never play it again due to one sad scene but it was one of the best.

Warcraft series- Orcs verse humans! and then some. What's better then that?

Starcraft - best stragedy game ever. Even if I was playing it on my slow 100 mhz 64 mb ram machine. I am surprise it ran it!

Unreal Tournment (I like the original best) - I used to dislike shooter games. I couldn't judge until I played one though. So, I bought a bargain version of Unreal Tournment for 10 bucks and I was hooked. Blood, big guns, and being cursed out! What's more fun then that?!? ;)

Devil's May Cry - Classic. Dante's hot too.

Unfinished favorite games:

FFX- I haven't beaten it yet. I am at the end and just need to level up to take on the end boss. I am too lazy to level up. Awesome story, gameplay. I love it.

Planescape Torment- Probably as good if not better then Star Wars: Knights of the Republic. However, due to not having beaten the game I won't be able to know until I do. ;)
