    Urrrr... [All PS2, I'm poor]

    San Andreas
    Devil May Cry 3
    Deus Ex
    Ico
    Metal Gear Solid 3

    I should probably also mention, I spent roughly one month last summer (cumulatively) playing Dragon Ball Z. I was sceptical at first when my friend showed me it but by god that crazy Japanese sh!t is addictive. I live in constant fear of a relapse and subsequent loss of another summer.

    Okay well at the minute at least(in no particular order)

    Guildwars
    Battlefield2
    Stalker:Shadow of Chernobyl
    Deus Ex
    Dawn of War

    Most disapointing game ever was Sherlock Holmes:The Awakened (Sherlock holmes with a Lovecraftian Twist. What could be bad about that?
    Everything I'm afraid)

    2. Metal Gear Solid series
    3. Tomb Raider
    4. Tekken
    5. Resident Evil

    Anyone who hasn't played God of War 1 and 2 (PS2) should go out today and buy it! You'll thank me! (cash, gifts etc are acceptable:D)

    Perhaps Mr. Curtis might like to explain his entry?
    Why would the, possibly, best entry yet into the GTA canon be considered for one of his worst games?
    Was he no good?
    Did the whole 80's/Miami Vice thing go over his head?

    Very strange indeed...

    He's just trying to cause controversy (and he has succeeded). GTA Vice City was not better than the first GTA III game. However, neither of these were better than the very first GTA game (and Im' genuinely serious). I guess I'm a retro-gamer...

    Oh gosh, an actual Top 5 of all time? I don’t think I can decide! I do have a few favourites that remain at the top of my list and the back of my subconscious even if I don’t play them that much these days. I would have to say these spring to mind (although in no particular order of preference):
    • Planescape: Torment
    • Devil May Cry (though I can’t decide between 1 and 3)
    • Half– Life
    • Resident Evil 4
    • Deus Ex

    Oh shit: I missed off Shadow of the Colossus from my list! Mind you, I did say it would prove difficult to narrow my all–time fave games to a mere 5…

    Hard to think, off the top of my head:

    Super Mario World
    Deus Ex
    GTA III
    RE4
    Burnout Paradise (I know a conversely choice but it was the first game I really got into and played to death for ages).

    Of course tomorrow I might think of 5 different choices.

    No particular order:

    Simcity 2000 (PC) - must've wasted years of my life on this
    Monkey Island 2 (PC) - best of the franchise. Loved the "Easy" and "Hard" addition
    Grim Fandango (PC) - Graphics were superb at the time, with an amazing soundtrack and great storyline.
    Mario Kart (DS) - It's just so much fun!
    Half Life (PC) - Loved it so damned much.

    very tough, but mostly from a time played perspective:

    Kick off 2 (amiga)
    Frontier: Elite 2 (amiga)
    Unreal tournament 2004 (PC)
    Street Fighter 2 (arcade)

    too many tied for 5th so I'll leave it at that ;)
