This is a good list, but it may be a bit biased given this is a forum for Valve games.

shit I gotta go back to work but the bold items are ones I have never tired, yet I do own quite a few of both the unplayed and the majority of the unbolded type!
 
Advance Wars is great. You should try it.
 
I'm so glad that Infamous is on that list, but Red Faction Guerilla isn't. :rolleyes:
 
The way I look at it, if you wouldn't still want to play it today, then it doesn't deserve a best games list. Some of these games are ancient, but they would still be fun to play, imo

So here we have Virus's list of gAmes for kids who can't read good. er,

[strike]10[/strike] 9 - Games that I would bring on a desert island

Centaur (pinball game)
Dungeon Master
Dungeon Master II
Street Fighter III - Fight For The Future
GTA Vice City
Pocket Fighter
GTR2
Archon
Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!


Wow, I'm spending a lot longer deciding than I expected. 9 games for now.
 
I kinda wish they only picked one game from a series as the master of all of them. in that case the list would be like 100 long

Nice list, Ondore.


Just curious, why would you pick Fight for the Future over Second Impact or 3rd Strike?
Click to expand...
It actually may be a mistake.

I think that I was thinking of Second Impact. Wasn't it called huge impact or something. ****. Third strike was stupidly fast. It's 33% more spam, 33% less tactics. Animation looks stupid that fast also. I don't think it makes it more exciting the way that Hyper Fighting did to SF2.

Other changes I didn't like either.

Also, note that I have not played SF4 yet. ;(

And I'd probably change my mind on 90% of that list if I really was stuck on a desert island. I'd pick a bunch of games on ship building.
 
It was called Second Impact. 3rd Strike...I wouldn't say it was less tactical, but it's a lot more "guess and win." And anyway, 3S has Makoto. It is automatically the better game. ;)
 
Bioshock #27? Blasphemy! Should not have been anywhere near 27. What about Battlefield 1942 which is probably the single best FPS multiplayer game I ever played?

Sorry, couldn't be bothered to look for another facepalm.jpg - one is pretty old and this is the only one I've never seen used, so...

2nd Impact - Giant Attack, I think was called. That was my favorite. It had Hugo (Andre 'the Giant') and the stuff on the floor would fly up in the air when he jumped. Lol, awesome.

Makoto was the girl with the daggers? We are at odds, sir.
 
Yeah, shes cool. That wasn't a good showcase of her skills. I've seen some pretty amazing moves.

I've played all 3 versions of SFIII quite a bit. Though there are some things from 3S that I prefer, on the whole, 2nd Impact is much more to my liking.

I think there was much backlash about 3rdStrike from the fans (including myself), and I personally believe it is to blame (at least partially) for the huge hiatus between SF3 and SF4.

- But who knows, you could blame it on anything. Arcades closing down, the 3D graphics like Tekken starting to really take off, consoles like the Playstation 1 ...
 
No, 3S is probably what kept SF alive. 3rd Strike was the most popular version of SF3; before that nobody cared. I remember seeing SF3 machines left untouched in arcades. Street Fighter 3, on the whole, in all its incarnations, was a financial failure. It just so happened that hardcore players stuck around with 3S long enough to discover its intricacies and keep it alive in the tournament scene. Despite that, while the game had a following in the competitive arena, it failed in the general arena and thus Capcom was reluctant to release another Street Fighter.
 
You may be right, because I've never even seen anything other than 3S in the Arcades. Personally, my main exposure to 3S was on the PS1, and I was sorely disappointed in it. In fact after my disappointing experience with SFIII 3S, I stopped playing SF altogether for many years. I wasn't sure if it was that bad or if I had just burned out, because by that time, I had been playing for about 10 years.

Only recently was I able to play the first 2 SFIII iterations (like Giant Impact), and I believe that if they would have put them on the PS1, I would have continued to play SF.

It wasn't until the Xbox came along, when I was able to play Capcom Vs. SNK 2 competitively online, that I would enjoy playing SF again. And overall, it was awesome, IMO.

So now we have SF4, again with online vs. mode, and I'm looking forward to playing it soon, once I get my new computer set up.
 
The top game of 2004 maybe, but not of "all time" imho.
 
No, its right. It should definately be at the top 5, epecially if you consider the modifications for it and it being playable on low end PC's. It is arguably the best single player FPS (next to the original). I don't think there is anything that should take its place.

I based my decision solely on core content. Excluding mods and such.
When you get right down to it, HL2's gameplay is a little shallow because of it's weak AI which makes all the difference in a FPS imo. It's the suspense and action that kept me going as well as the story.

For HL2's extremely flexible engine though, it does rank a little higher. It'll run pretty much on any PC without a hitch. So long as you don't use an Nvidia card whose drivers didn't support anti-aliasing. (Valve or Nvidia never fixed this)
 
I found HL2 (on the hardest difficulty) very challenging in some places (and therefore extremely fun).

There was some place in [something like a prison], where you set up turrets, and the helicopter blades are coming from all sides along with troops using grenades. Man that shit was a slaughterhouse. Good good times.

When you die, you jump right back in the game in mere moments to try again, allowing you to try a different way to tackle the challenge. Harder difficulties actually make quick saves 'necessary', instead of making things easy.

Personally, I'd also put it way up near the top of the list of best games ever. So I guess that can be the final game to include in my list, but not necessarily in that order.

Why on earth is Halo 2 on this list?

Also, Oblivion ranking higher than Morrowind is dissapointing.

And the fact that Modern Warfare 2 is on this list is a CRIME. The game was just barely released, in NO WAY should it make this list now, or even at all.
Click to expand...

Halo 2 Should be on the list it is one of the best Xbox game possible for graphics and gameplay.

Also MW2 shouldn't be on the list if it is just been Released.

I agree with you buddy.

Halo 2 is a crime against humanity.
 
But Halo 2 sucks, especially compared to Halo. Halo 2's level design is awful.
 
No, Halo's level design is awful. Halo 2's is just uninspired.
