hahaha. all the way back for that one. which magazine did it have the lowest ever rating for? PC Gamer i think

Morzadec

Jonah Lomu Rugby.

12 years on and it's still probably the most fun 2 player game (maybe pro evo comes close). ****e one player though.

Super Sidious

CounterStrike, bascially took up 3 years of my life playing with .dNC, was the best gaming experience of my life... and also got me free holidays!

Cant beat Resident Evil... even the thought of Resi 5 makes me feel scared...

Super Sidious

...and Pro Evo, just for the amount of hours spent and will spend playing with my mates!

TerrorFirmer

Streets of Rage
Soldier of Fortune 2
Doom
California Games (NES Version: still a damn good laugh in MP today)
Blue Shadow
Mortal Kombat
Battlefield 2
Perfect Dark
Forts
Zombies ate my neighbours
Half Life
Future Cop LAPD (MP only!)
Unreal Tournament '99
Quake II
Smash TV
Red Alert '95
Doom
Day of Defeat
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War
Advance Wars
Goldeneye
Medal of Honor
Company of Heroes
Duke Nukem 3D
Left 4 Dead*

Some of those games hold re playability and stand the test of time more then others but all sucked away hours of my life for very extended periods relative to their release dates at the very least. I'm sure I'm missing loads.

*First game for me personally that captured the frantic spirit of a zombie epidemic movie - Resident Evil is by all means a good game but I never liked it all that much despite being a huge all-things-zombie fan.

I wasn't really singling you out tbh. I just was gobsmacked that a game that basically created boards still hasn't been mentioned by anyone bar myself

Quake 2 was mentioned but that wasn't great. Quake 3 deserves a mention as I spent 5 years on that plus it had excellent netcode but for a game that revolutionized - imo - the fps genre didnt get a mention

keane2097

Possibly in order, although probably not....

FFVII
LoZ: OaT
MGS
Sonic the Hedgehog
Super Mario Bros 3

Shryke

The Half Life series.
