Your favorite games and Why?

I've never really played a game I didn't like. I think I just have really low standards, or I get really really lucky.
Except Runescape. I played it for a little bit, and I fail to see how anyone could possibly play that repetitive worthless game. Some of the quests were pretty fun, but everything else about it sucked.

Some games I liked:
Worms:Armageddon : This game is absolutely fabulous. I just wish I had some gamer friends to play it with.

Freedom Force: This was pure gold. Aghaghagh... drool

Fallout: Obviously.

Sam and Max hit the road: Really funny

X-com: I just found it recently. It's better than some of the recent games I've played. Goes to show that time doesn't necessarily bring innovation.

Starcraft: This is what i spent most of my time on when i was age 14/15. On occasion my obsession with this game would culminate, trapping me within the Koprulu sector for 14 hours straight until a rising headache would draw me back to reality.

Counterstrike would be my second best liked game at this point in time. Why? Just because i enjoy the formula.

No, you can't have peverted thoughts in her presence. If you have erotic fantasies involving her bottom she'll be disgusted by you before you even said hello. Look at Raynor, he did the same and she corrected him for it.

Fallouts 1&2 obviously, Grand Theft Auto 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice City (I'm a grand theft auto junkie, and they're probably my favorite games after Fallout), Arcanum, Wasteland, Planescape: Torment, Half-Life (mostly due to They Hunger

)

I like The Sims...I got into making skins for a while, and I thought it was cool to lock my roommate in a closet and let her die.

I also really like Descent (1 and 2)....Played them over the net against my friends constantly for about a year.

Best FPS was Duke Nukem 3D, though...I still play that bad-ass game...Can't wait for Duke Nukem Forever to come out (if it ever does).

Oh yeah, The Sims, forgot about that. I only liked it up till the first expansion pack, which kinda ruined things. I used to make really crasey modern houses in that game.

-HOMM series (stopped after the third installment though, 4th was a bit too different to my liking)
-Civilisation I, II, III and the Call to Power derivants (because I want to rule the world. Moehahahaha *evil laugh*)
-Fallout for obvious reasons
-Anything Dune, I' m fairly addicted to the Spice I guess
-No one lives Forever 2, one of the most hilarious shooters I' ve ever known

I forgot to mention D00M. That game was intriguing as well. It used to be my daily dosis of excessive violence. But hey, who really bothers to care when you're just hurting hordes of evil MONNSTOORZ.

Fallout 1+2, Max Payne, Morrowind (only because it's non-linear), gta:vc, rise of nations (mabye) and operation flashpoint.

What I'd really like would be something like a steven segal game where you can just go round a city and blow up shit then have cheesy dialouge with someone. It'd have to be pretty non-linear and have memorable sections, but otherwise I'm not too bothered about much else.

Elaborate on your selection. Just summaries doesnt make much of an interesting thread.

Thor Kaufman · Post by **Thor Kaufman** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 10:15 pm

ja1 bcuz it got cool style, atmosphere, interaction between them fancy mercenaries, funny speech files for some part, weapons, it's non-linear, AI is rather good
well :x

for JA2 this all pretty much applies, too
though it got better graphics, some other funky stuff
and there are some great mods out, too

both are an experience in themselves so to speak ?

ah yeah the ja2 demo rox, too

everyone should know why Starcraft / BW rule, no ? so it pretty much speaks for itself

same for Fallout

System Shock 2 - An underappreciated masterpiece (go figure, it's from Looking Glass); fuses RPG and FPS into one coherent, enjoyable experience, which is an achievement in itself. And if you want to be scared shitless, literally afraid to continue playing, pick this one up, play it at night, and wear headphones. Your mind will be scarred forever, and you'll never look at spiders the same way again.

SSX Tricky - Just ridiculously fun. I can't wait to get SSX 3.

Grand Theft Auto Vice City - My pick for best. Game. Ever. There's just so much to love about it: the scope, the gameplay variety, the atmosphere, and loads more.
