Think it would be interesting to find out what everyones favourite games are! Maybe keep it to top three favourites? And give a short reason why..
Might start off a few rows! :)
Mine are:
1. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES)
This has to be number one because ive played it through
about 100 times, even to this day! Its so magical, its the one
i will always remember it from my early days! Compelling Story
too. Just a wonderful game.2. Blade Runner (PC)
Not many have played this but it was a real gem. Point and
click adventure, dark, moody, crime game. Was first game i
played with multiple endings, intuitive design and and excellent
sense of doing your own thing to achieve your goals.
Great Gameplay. Fantastic Game. Could nearly be first.3. Tough One This! Silent Hill 1
I think so anyway! Just because it scared the crap outta me!
Nah, it was a great game with some really intuitive features.
Lovely setting and a creepy story. I loved the twist at the end!
Gameplay was a little ropey but didnt mar the game as a
whole. Hmmm.. Metal gear was also great!!! :)Thats me anyway!

Netris
Tetris is really good. 2 player tetris is even better. Add to it the scoring system I wrote and games at any time of the day, and you have a winner.Quake
My first computer game addiction. Poorly balanced as a game, it still had some of the most developed tactical play of any game ever. Also, gameplay “features” meant that players could continue to master aspects of the game no matter how good they got, and could continue to use what they had learned to win matches.Counterstrike
Cos I’m a groupie, and its a good game.Dave
-
1) Baldurs Gate. Hard Core D&D with loads of Depth and character customisation
2) Half-life multiplayer mode. Get to kill your friends.
3) Championship Manager. So absorbing have been playing it for almost 6 years now and love it still.
(Started Morrowind recently and seems very good free roaming game).

In no particular order….
Team Fortress Classic – Its got so much depth and never gets old. We will always play this game. Forever. Medics attack!
Zelda: Ocarina of Time – Beautiful. Amazingly designed. Play, study, save the girl, complete, love.
Super Mario 64 – Justified the blind faith I put in Nintendo.
Tempest 2000 – Trippy blasting fun.
Zelda – A link to the Past – Holy s***, what alien race helped construct this masterpiece???
hmm, they all seem old :p

Fav games of the mo (first to come to head)
Halo (xbox): i live in a house with 6 other student and 3 xboxs and 4/5 copies of halo (not pirate copys) and a hub and about 15 controlers ( 6 of which r broken :p , halo gives people bad temper )…..
Rez(DC): Simply, I love this game!
after reading other posts:
Blade Runner (PC): my fav movie, great game!
Championship Manager: i don’t even really watch football anymore, great games. (not for much longer as the developer has switch publisher (from eidos to sega europe) but eidos won the rights to the Name Championship Manager, but not the databases or engine
-
I really loved that blade runner game, never heard of anyone else ever having played it though!

one thing about Blade runner, when you were chaseing the jamaican in the house, if u shot him before he got to the roof, there was nothing u could do after, no more clues or leads. was that a bug or did i miss something?
btw offtopic
my GF tried to get Blade runner DVD for my birthday, but could not find it. during her search she when to virgin,
she said: “Do u Blade runner on DVD?”
guy at store said ” let me check the computer”
guy at store said “err no we don’t…. but we have blade 2!
:confused: -
Deus Ex One of the most breadthtaking games ever crafted. This game took me a good two months to finish completely, and then I went back and did it all over again, pure gameplay. BTW I’ve just started playing the sequel, Invisible War and it is damn good, looks uber sweet on the Xbox too.
Half Life I’m not even going to justify this one. Astonishingly good level design, satisfying weapons, and truely terrifying AI. Splendid.
Unreal Tournament (The original, although the sequels are rather good too). No game has sat on my hard drive for so long. This is the game that keeps on giving, a massive mod community keeps it fresh, and the bot AI is very scary at the ‘Godlike’ level.

The Soul Calibur series:
Simply the best beat’em up ever, massive depth and the option to become truly great at a game. 100’s of hours spent master Nightmare and Mitsurugi, I doubt it’ll ever be bettered.
Halo:
One of the most magical games I’ve ever played, stunning soundtrack and masterful level design. Must have played through on legendary ten times now and regulary play Co-Op with my brother. Halo is one of the best games ever, no doubt about it.
Oricana of Time:
Two words: “Hyrule Field”

Yes of course, How could I have forgotten Halo, man that was stupid of me. Multiplayer Halo on the PC is absolutely unbeatable, and I include Counter Strike in that comparisson! Uber good.
-
Am I the only person to be totally under-awed by Halo??
-
Nope ;)
-
Never did anything for me either..
No, that wasnt a bug in Blade runner, i tried to do it a different way so many times!!
Was an absolute gem of a game though..
Lost my copy and i cant find it anywhere anymore. Virgin stopped publishing it, i think..
-
if i remember there is about 8-10 different ending to blade runner.
i only got 3 ending, the join them excaping, kill them excaping, my dog got blown up!
-
Halo wasn’t ground-breaking to be sure, but it did have excellent level design (for the most part – some of the Library levels were incredibly tedious and difficult to navigate at times), first class production values and some nice balancing via the weapon carrying restriction… apart from that it’s just another first person shooter imho
-
Id agree.. Just another fps.
In Blade Runner, i think i only got 3 endings aswell.. Played it through so many times!
I loved the whole idea of being able to scan around photos you took in the police station, to find clues etc.
And where you had to run tests on subjects, you had to look for changes in their pupil shape to determine if they were human or not.Very intuitive design, would love to see an updated 3d version, but that aint gonna happen..
Oh well. :(

[/quote:089d3ee7e1]That depends… for someone like me who is more old school oriented, they all look recent :D

Hi all just thought I would add a few more games into the mix.
This is my current top ten of games which I have played and felt at the time were a big advance in gameplay or refreshed a stale games market.
BTW: The games are in no particular order just listed as they fell out of my head ;)
1) Counter Strike (PC – online)
2) Rainbow Six (PC)
3) Ridge Racer (PS1)
4) Tomb Raider (PS1)
5) Monkey Ball (NGC)
6) Lady Sia (GBA)
7) Wario Ware, Inc: Mega Microgames (GBA)
8) Super Mario world (SNES)
9) Pro Evolution Soccer 2 (PS2)
10) Double Dragon (Arcade)Call Of Duty and Max payne are also favs but I tried to keep the list to 10 :D
Got to agree with the other posts about Blade runner, westwood studios did a great job, the art was assume.
-
I want to add “Advance Wars” (GBA),”Virtua Racing” (arcade), Sega Rally (arcade) and Rez (DC).
I’m sure I am forgetting stuff even still.

I could never get into Final Fantasy as it felt like you were turning the pages of a 7 year olds picture book. So linear and restrictive.
Must get a copy of Halo (PC) and see what all talk is about.

When Donkey Kong Country came out on the Snes by Rare i felt the Snes hit its prime with that title and gave the console an extra life line in the face of the new consoles (playstation, saturn). Stunning graphics, great arcade gameplay, loads of bonus rooms & of course featuring the whole Kong family. Out of the 3 Country games, the first was the best even if it was abit easy but you could play it over & over again still discovering new secrets.

Have to mention Doom 64 for some reason aswell, loved that game when it came out, oh and a new one, PainKiller on the PC, savage soundtrack and mad gameplay, frantic killing.
-
Have to dissagree with doom64. I bought it looking forward to a great game and was wholly dissapointed as was I with Quake 64.
My 3 (current) faves would have to be:
-
[*]Quake 3: Arena
[*]Command and Conquer Generals
[*]Halo
