  • Registered Users Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    Top ten in my life thus far..

    1. Doom 1-2
    -- for being the first games I played online, and just for kicking ass in general.

    2. Quake 1-3
    -- for creating the online 'scene'. And also for kicking ass.

    3. Civilization 1-3
    -- you get to rule the world. this amuses me.

    4. Zelda: Link To The Past
    -- an (almost?) perfect game.

    5. Metroid Prime
    -- for showing it was possible.

    6. Mario 3
    -- everybody loves mario 3.

    And less impact but I thought they were great..

    Mafia
    Morrowind
    Half Life
    Deus Ex.

    Not in any particular order

    1) Final Fantasy VII (Ps1) - Truely a magnificent and well constructed game, the characters, monsters, locations, story etc where all brilliantly done and well thought out and it was a joy to complete this game

    2) Half-Life (PC) - A Fine FPS shooter with brilliant level design, and it got meintroduced into online gaming with Team Fortress Classic

    3) X-com Apocalypse (PC) - A Game of such depth and playability that no matter how old it is it can still be as good as any new released game out there!

    4) Might&Magic 6 & 7 (PC) - both games are Fun and enjoyable RPG's and these kept me playing for a good while

    5) Thief 1,2 & 3 (PC) - One of my favourite Genre's of gaming is stealth, and when mixed with an FPS perspective you have a unique game that became Thief and the sequels only improved what the original had created

    6) DOOM Ultimate, 2, Final (Saturn&PC) - BRILLIANT! enough said :D

    7) Street Fighter & King of Fighters series (SNES,Megadrive,Dreamcast,Saturn & Ps2) - The First fighting games that i played and became one of my favourite genre's of gaming

    8) Resident Evil 1, 2 & 4 (Ps1 & Gamecube) - Shate my pants playing these and brilliant action games

    9) Call of Duty (PC) - The Most realistic World War II FPS game i have ever played, you can tell alot of effort went into this!

    10) Hero Quest (Commodore 64) - One of the first games i ever played and obviously remains to be one of my top 10 games.

    Why do I feel compelled to reply:

    1) Panzer Dragoon Saga: Utterly fantastic RPG. Great story with a killer twist and the greatest soundtrack ever recorded.
    2) Suikoden 2: Excellent RPG. Epic storyline (and length) that is as good as any work of literature, then again it is based heavily on one of china's greatest pieces of literature. The returning characters sweeten the deal.
    3) Final Fantasy VII: I adore this game. Great fun and excellent storyline.
    4) Super Metroid: Absolute perfection in cartridge form. Excellent fun. The hugely atmospheric soundtrack is worth a mention.
    5) Final Fantasy X: Great RPG with probably the best battle system ever. Great story as well.
    6) Grandia: Another great RPG. Relies more on fantastic characters than story.
    7) Zelda Link to the Past: I think it's better than OoT. It's zelda need I say more.
    8) Gunstar Heroes: By far the best game on the Mega Drive. There is no better action game.
    9) Radiant Silvergun: The best shmup ever. An absolute joy to play
    10) Super Mario Kart: You can stick Gran Turismo and Forza up your arse. This is the best racing game ever.
    11) Castlevania Symphony of the Night: Just like Super Metroid but just not as much fun.
    12) Metroid Prime: With the price of the Gamecube at the moment if you don't own this game you are an idiot.
    13) Zelda OoT: It's going to get mentioned a lot in this thread.
    14) Doom 2: Doom, but infinitely better. Looks naff now but is still as much fun to play as it was in 1995(i think). Nothing beats the co-op mode
    15) Half-Life: I still think no other FPS game since Doom has been as innovative or as consistently brilliant as Half-Life (including the sequel). The deathmatch is also an absolute cracker.
    16) Super Mario World: I prefer it to mario 3. The best platform game ever.
    17) Final Fantasy VI: Excellent story. Also Kefka is by far the most evil character ever in a videogame.
    18) Resident Evil 4: I haven't played an action game in ages that was as consistently brilliant as Resi 4. Fan-bloody-tastic.
    19) Final Fantasy Tactics (playstation 1 game, not the GBA mockery): Absolutley rock hard but very rewarding. Spoiled a bit by 2 stupidly silly hard levels.
    20) Panzer Dragoon Orta: Beautiful to behold and play. Fantastic story that perfectly complments panzer dragoon saga. Play them back to back and prepare to choke back the tears.

    Even with 20 I have to leave a lot out :(

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    Hmmm...

    In no particular order

    Street Fighter Alpha 2 (PS) - The most enjoyable fighter I've ever played. I'd say SF2CE but..well...this is better.

    Ultima 7: The Black Gate (PC) - One of the first games I played, the sense of scale and attention to detail was literally hard to believe. The most interactive environment I have ever encountered in a game, even so to this day.

    Resident Evil 4 (GC) - Consistently superb jaw-droppingly good action game. Not a bad scene or dull moment from start to finish. The only thing wrong with this game is that is had to end.

    Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GC) - Incredibly immersive RPG which just keeps getting better and better. With beautiful graphics and music too.

    Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn (PC) - The best rpg ever. Epic.

    Half Life (PC) - Excellently crafted game with deeply involving gameplay and plot, superb level design and wonderful AI. And that's just the single player. The best fps ever.

    Worms 2 (PC) - The best multiplayer game ever. Endless hours/days/months/years of fun.

    Silent Hill (PS) - Superbly made and presented psychological horror. the best use or sound in any game I can think of.

    Civilization 2 (PC) - An amazingly addictive, complex and original game. Has consumed whole summers in what seemed like days.

    Metal Gear Solid (PS) - Truly unique landmark game with outstanding character and plot development. An huge cinematic experience with outstanding immersive and original gameplay.

    And a special mention to Tekken 2, Devil May cry and GTA: SA
