Street Fighter II for Arcade/SNES

Aliens Vs Predator 1 (Haven't even finished 2 yet, let alone the remake)

CoD 1 & 2. (Dunno about the rest, as ain't played 'em properly yet)

GTA1! Yes, the 2D graphics one. Gameplay was good, and it was nice and simple, pick up and play, what can I say?

Oh and a special mention to the graphics on EF 2000 for MS DOS. The graphics were the absolute mutt's nuts for the time. You can't imagine!

I miss my 3DFX card... :lol:

To revise my list, I would like to include KillZone as the best PS2 game. I got a hang of the controls, and then I kicked General Adams bum.

What about Timesplitters2? That was quite good indeed.

I haven't played Timesplitters 2, or 1 for that matter either, so I wouldn't know. What is Timesplitters 2 like?

My current favourites include:

Civ2--the game that spawned the phrase, "Civ widow." Holy &$*&, it's 5 a.m. already?!?
Assassin's Creed 2
Oblivion

I came to FF late (with FF XII), but I have just purchased FF XIII, and am waiting to rip off the plastic.

I enjoyed Dragon Age: Origins, but I feel that it's a poor cousin to Oblivion.

Cool, I played CIV II but mostly got not very far due to patience issues (or TIME issues!) I did it this time once when stoned and did very well at it. But yeah, it was a "holy xxxx it's 5am already" moment, indeed.

I still have the backup for the save game somewhere... I should run a virtual win98 to install it again, haha! 256-colours FTW!

While I could let my icon speak for itself, for those who don't speak Bioware, it's:

Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect
<reserved for Mass Effect 3>
<reserved for inevitable Dragon Age sequel>

After that it gets hazy... :roll:

I'm also very fond of Rock Band and Call Of Duty...

The original Xcom/UFO enemy unknown (european name) Is still a pretty damn awesome game even though its been over a quarter of a century after its release.

But consider the fact that Oblivion is an open-ended RPG and Dragon Age is a story driven RPG. It's unfair to compare them both against each other.

For me however, in regards to the best game? Half-Life.

I find this a difficult question to answer because most of the games I'm drawn to tend to be mediocre rather than innovative. Also, video games cover a vast range of genres and require very different skills; an arcade shoot-em-up requires quick reflexes while an RPG is more about problem solving. I have decided to nominate three games:

Sonic the Hedgehog -- this is the one that really opened up video games for me; has everything; graphics, sound, playability; took platform gaming to a new level.

Championship Manager -- once you've played this, it's impossible to take other football management sims seriously.

Grand Theft Auto -- added a new level of realism to driving/shoot-em-up/action games; made it possible to totally immerse yourself in such a game; an RPG for dummies.

It's fair to say that Championship manager led the way in the late 90's through to the mid 2000's, but now there is only one soccer management sim for me Football manager, an increased level of realism and a huge database.

Championship Manager is the same game as Football Manager untill CM5. Only Sports Interactive had to change the name after they parted way with Eidos and SEGA became the publisher. Eidos kept the name Championship Manager and SI went with Football Manager. But yeah, I don't know how many hours I could of spent outside when I was playing Championship/Football Manager.

YES!!

Anyway.. I read the thread and saw a lot that I wouldnt' have thought to put. So I hope I remember them all.

The Sims 2&3, Civilization IV (never played the others), The King's Quest Series (especially VI), I do like Guildwars and Dungeons and Dragons Online (though I complained about it in the other thread

)

Basically all the Harvest Moon games I've played.

Baten Kaitos for the gamecube was amazing. Such a long story line that I felt you never lost just because a puzzle took a long time. I have personally never finished it :oops:

but I have watched both my sisters play through it. Makes for some good TV.

And also all 3 Paper Mario games.

And Pokémon.
