Goldeneye - N64. Great memories of late night multiplayer sessions in my room at Uni.

Metal Gear Solid
on the PS1. Awesome.

Half Life 2 on the PC. Multiplayer madness. Immense FPS fun.

I have to mention Zelda on the SNES. My first game on my first console.

Also GTA San Andreas. Nothing like jacking a bike, cruising the strip in the Miami sunset, kicking back to some 80s classics :thumleft:

Wow, this is really hard as a lot of them are so close.

I'd have to go for, in no particular order (although 1 is my no.1)

Bioshock
Gears Of War
Dead Space

But there's just so many that have really impressed me. I just feel the above have a superb mixture of gameplay, story and graphics.

ah now his s a hard one, ive played an awful lot of games, once had a bit of an addiction to it.

in third place i think would have to be "carmageddon" released in 1997. the first violent car based game to include "running people over" at the time it was seen as very contraversial and banned or cencored in many contries. The main uk release used zombies instead of people to avoid the taboo issue of running people over, however the expansion "splat pack" was allowed a short time after which included updates for the game including new vehicals, tracks and replacement pedestrians so you could now run people down....instead of the green splatting zombies.

i actually prefur "carmagedon tdr2000" as it is graphically superior but essentialy the same game except now with damage and larger levels. but as carmageddon lead the way it has to be in third place :thumleft:


second place would have to be "halflife" released in 1998, it truly was an epic when it was released, a great story line, great fluidity and challenging enough to keep you entertained.

but in first place, the best game for me has to be "need for speed 2 SE" reeased in 1997

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUEulNeD ... re=related

back before the whole 'fast and furious' themed releases of the early 2000's including "underground", "underground 2" and "carbon" which took the franchise down a dark and mass populated avenue. Back before then it was about the cars included, the driving and the sound. plus you could drive as any of the road side items that you could crash into, theres nothing quite like racing an f50 in a porta-loo!


haha ive just realised those three were from the same point in my life, i must have been 12/13 and playing far far too many games, no wonder im an IT technician now! 8-[

Just looking through other people's lists....

Syndicate on the Amiga was awesome.
Also, have to mention FA-18 Interceptor and Desert Strike. And I think another was Geoff Crammonds Formula One Grand Prix

Dead Space on the PS3 is stunning. Must dig that out and play it again.

I agree with Rusty Racing on his list there... but for top 3 for me has to be:

(1) Shadow of the Beast (Amiga) (just blew me away graphics and sound wise, bloody hard game tho!)
(2) Unreal Tournament (PC) (awesome multiplayer and you could create your own environments/maps etc)
(3) RE4 (PS2) (just loved the music/atmosphere/setting etc and some awesome boss fights!)


Notable modern games on 360:
Left 4 Dead(1&2)
Dead Space
GOW (1&2)
Bioshock

I'm also a huge fan of the now defunct Oddworld series of games.

Not many people remember it as it was at the time of PC games being on multi-floppy disks but i loved it back in the day! :mrgreen:

Also 'Sam & Max Hit The Road' and 'Full Throttle' as HERB i think as mentioned.
