    FF VII for me, blew me away at the time, 30+ hr games were rare back then also


  • Registered Users Posts: 262 ✭✭Awful_Bliss


    The Championship Manager/Football Manager series is sorely missing from that list. That's my favourite game.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer


    Where in the name of Dog is the Battlefield 2 option?

    I refuse to vote until my concerns are rectified. :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭stateofflux


    Fallout 3

    Ecco the Dolphin hands down. It influenced me so much that I actually now am a dolphin and I do dolphin things.

    Popular doesn't mean the best.

    For me it depends on what I feel like on the day. I consider Super Metroid to be the most perfectly made videogame of all time, so well made and yet so much to discover on repeat visits. However the game I enjoyed the most was Mother 3 on the GBA.

    Poll is bad

    Popular =/= good.

    You left out Shin Migemy(sp.?), Demons/Dark Souls, GoW(the 360 and PS3 franchises), a few Final Fantasies, Catherine, Fallout, RDR, Orange Box.

    In order

    Pokemon heartgold
    Pokemon black
    Mario galaxy 2
    The metroid prime trilogy
    Resistance 3
    Half life 2
    Chrono trigger
    Uncharted 2

    Vague order. If I had to pick one, it'd be one of the pokemons.


  • Registered Users Posts: 402 ✭✭the14thwarrior


    duke nukem was the original and best!! and he didn't make your list. lucky he's not around to see this poll

    You keep using that word, "popular"..
    What does popular have to do with good?

    EDIT: Fallout 3 is good(couldn't remember all games on list when replying).

    Half Life
    System Shock 2
    Thief
    Deus Ex
    Donkey Kong Country
    Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind

    In fairness, I helped the OP with the list. With no definitive way to pick a list of 25, we took 6 "Top 100 Games of All Time" lists and went with the 24 games that appeared most frequently. If your favourite games are not there, sorry, but it seemed the fairest, least subjective way of picking the options. Although Halo Combat Evolved and Splinter Cell were not on the original list that I saw..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭tommy2bad


    Of the list I went with HL2 but so many games missing that 'other' doesn't cover it.
    Stalker, Turrican, Alien breed, Kick Off, Res Evil, Boulderdash ....

    Hard to pick one, but you know what HL2 actually is the best game ever. If I were to recommend a game to someone who didn't have a clue about games HL2 would teach them everything and hook them for life.

    I'm not looking for my favourite games to be there.
    I'm looking for a list of good games to be there.

    Cherry picking from a list of the 100 "best" games of all time smacks of lazy.
