Top ten Video/computer games

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

So seeing as the ps3 vs 360 turned into a what's the best game ever thread , here's your chance to post your favorites

Mine in no particular order are...

(1)Vandal Hearts ps1  (2) Metal gear solid 1 ps1 (3) Zelda Link to the past Snes (4) Super Metroid snes (5) Granturismo 4 ps2 (wish there were some realistic bike games ) (6) sky oddesy ps2 (7) MGS snake eater ( Dawn of War pc (9) pilot wing snes (10) Final fantasy 7 ps2.

So what about you guys

[Anthony]

I don't know if I can name 10, but here are some standouts:

-Resident Evil 2 (PC)
     Scary, well paced game with great weapons and atmosphere.  Running out of ammo was ALWAYS a concern, so taking out zombies with a pistol even in the final stages of the game was the norm if you went crazy with the shotgun on a bigger monster.

-Deus Ex (PC) 
     Weird story, but somehow made for a great RPG FPS game.  The locations were "real world" and you basically got free reign over lots of areas.  Some really tense moments like when you're talking to your brother in his apartment and all of a sudden guys bust down the door and you have to take off out the window...I was like 

-Command & Conquer:Generals (Zero Hour) (PC)
     One of the best RTS interfaces ever...really simple and fast to use and learn.  The three armies are balanced really well, and the maps are great.

-Half Life (PC)
     Like Resident Evil 2 and Deus Ex combined...with better graphics.  I recently played through this game again and it's one of my favorites.  But like a lot of fans say, those alien world levels were really boring, as was the final boss. 

-Battlefield 2 (PC)
     I got this game a few weeks ago and it's really in depth...my computer can't run it to it's full potential, but I set all the graphics to their max and it's like a movie.  The online gameplay is great if you're into strategy...land, air, sea, indoors, outdoors...it's crazy. 

-Call of Duty:United Offensive (PC)
     I played this game online for a really long time...another great strategy war game, although not as insanely in depth as Battlefield 2. 

-Commandos (PC)
     You might have seen this one; a WWII game from a birds eye view.  Stealth is key.  A really fun and frustrating game to play, but you feel REALLY good when things go right and your men escape

-Warcraft II (PC)
     The first RTS I really got into...for it's time it was amazing.

-The Thing (PS2)
     The one and olny game I own for my PS2.  It's set in I think 1986; 4 years after the events of John Carpenters The Thing.  If you've seen the movie you'll love the game...exploring the blown up ruins of the base, going to the Norwegan outpost, having Things break through doors out of nowhere, having you fellow teammates who are 3' away from you transform...


I'm sure there are like 5 more that I can think of, but I'll probably add on later.

3.  Super Paper Mario (Wii)

[prime77]

1. Metal Gear Solid (PS)
2. Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)
3. Double Dragon 2 (NES)
4. Bases Loaded (NES)
5. Age of Empires 2 (PC)
6. F1 Career Challenge (PS)
7. Metal of Honor  (PS)
8. Mike Tysons Punch out (NES)
9. Zelda link to the Past (SNES)
10. Mega Man 3 (NES)

You can tell that a wasted a lot of time as a kid playing Nintendo 

[Grant Lamontagne]

I'm obviously way out of touch since I don;t see many of my choices on anyone's list, but here goes, again in no particular order.

Unreal Tournament (PC)
Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC)
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds (PC)
StarCraft (PC)
Carmageddon (PC)
Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now (PC)
Grand Theft Auto (PC)
Crimson Skies (PC)
Bionic Commando (NES)

I know that's only 9, but those are the games I have played the most.  After playing Carmageddon, all other racing games seem pathetic... and flight sims for the most part these days seem boring since it's all realistic military combat where you launch a missile at a target 100 miles away and don't even see the explosion.  Crimson Skies at least lets you see the person you are shooting at.

Just about all of these, except Bionic Commando, which was my favorite NES game (and glad to see someone else liked it too!) are much better when played online or in a LAN game with friends.  I have found that playing these games with friends beats the living hell out of playing any of them by yourself, and I think that's the biggest attraction to PC games for me.

How could I have forgotten wolfenstien , both the original and the update were awesome games

[Splat]

Oh yeah. I must have spent literally countless hours all night playing "Spear of Destiny." Same can be said of Ultima IV. Those were the days I could stay up all night and work the next day. Now I'd be drooling all over my dashboard come 8am!

My favorite Unreal skin is this one, but since it's an add on I usually stick to the woman for multiplayer games.  There's also a black one, which I prefer, but it doesn't look as good in a screen shot!

This is Kouryuu, the Techno Dragon.

That's last one looks cool, kinda like a chaos prince

[Grant Lamontagne]

I'll try to get a decent screen shot of the black one.  Those gold panels are actually in constant motion, as if there was a fire burning in each one of them.  It's really cool.

Def

[Grant Lamontagne]

Here's the Kouryuu-B, just before I killed him.  Because I hesitated to get the screen shot, he managed to get a shot at me, which offended me so much I punished him mercilessly with my Flak Cannon.

Here's a tip- if any of you ever play DeathMatch with me, guard the Flak Cannons because once I grab one, I'm unstoppable!

Sound's like a welsh mining company to me

[Grant Lamontagne]

The story of the Unreal Tournament starts off with the Liandri Deep Space Mining Company.  Miners start strongman competitions to alleviate boredom, and they eventually develop into the no holds (or weapons) barred tournament that you play when you get the game.  This happens over about 100 years or so, and Liandri gets out of deep space mining and into tournament promotion.

While looking on YouTube for the story, I found this:



I couldn't find the backstory though...

Def

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

So I wasn't miles of about mining then , bloody good guess if you as me

[Grant Lamontagne]

I also just noticed that the new version is due out this month...

Gonna wet myself now!

I remember my brother loving that game, I played him a few time's and he utterly destroyed me every time , but then I reckon my bro's part cyborg anyway ( he has a natural affinity for technosourcery that I find worrying )

[Grant Lamontagne]

I used to hate the original version, but friends of mine always wanted to play it.  I think when we'd play together they were sick of me mopping the floor with them when playing RTS games, and Unreal was their way of getting me back.  Well, after a few weeks of getting my arse handed to me (we'd get together and have a LAN party every Sunday) I decided that was it.  I did nothing but play Unreal for the next week straight, didn't tell anyone what I was doing, then when Sunday rolled around again, it was time to open up a few cans from my private stock of Whoopass!  I wasn't the best, but I was significantly better than I was, and I pretty well came in second most times we played.

After that, all we played were team games, where we were all allies!

A few months later I played against a couple of friends- they were on one team, I was on the other.  It was three on three- they had two humans and a 'bot (computer) and I had me and two 'bots.

I still won!

Then we discovered UT 2004, which gave us vehicles.  No more did we have to just shoot eachother, now we could run each other over and annihilate each other with large scale explosives...  Hot diggety!

Now it looks like there are even more vehicles, bigger maps and better weapons.  What more could I want?

Def

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

So we probably won't see you on here for a few weeks when it arrives then

[Grant Lamontagne]

Naw, I only play those games a bit at a time- half an hour here, an hour there.  Unless I have friends with the game, then I can play for hours at a time.

It's not as much fun playing with faceless people online though- you don't sit around with them afterwards and laugh about it!

Def

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

We really should set up and online game on here sometime

[665ae]

I think that would be fun... the question though is what game do we play?  Which game do most of us have?
