garro Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have just begun Zelda on the Wii and think it is fab. I actually left it in the wrapper for three months while I finished other games. I think the best game ever was Grand Theft Auto ; San Andreas (the earlier releases were great too) but also think Zelda on the N64 was superb. What do you think were the best video games ever?

thaibebop Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 GTA sucks, always has always will. Bad graphic, bad control, bad voice, bad idea. Now, I play quite a bit, no money right so no new systems, but I can speak in previous systems. There are too many too list, I think that are worth playing and are great fun. Do you have genre you prefer? I know GTA has something like an RPG element, yet many who like GTA don't like RPGs. I will say that for GTA style play that is better executed and more fun you should check out Mercenaries by Lucus Arts. Anyway tell some genres you like or other games and I can suggest some.

garro Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Sorry Thaibebob, have to disagree about GTA. I also enjoyed the 'Medal Of Honour' series and Quake.

Tywais Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 My personal choices are FPS and simulation games. Battlefield II is the only game I still play regularly with Microsoft Sim-X next. Rather looking forward to Crysis coming out later this year using the new CryEngine 2. May need to upgrade my card when it comes out due to DX10, though it is scalable to DX9. Preview here.

solo siam Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 CnC Generals:Zero Hour That would be my favourite game recently - looking back over time I enjoyed; Mario Kart, Bomberman etc... on the SUper Nintendo, ISS on the PS2 (Not Pro Evolution) and the first computer game I played and got into was Moria, its a roguelike.

garro Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Max Payne was pretty cool on the PS2 I enjoyed Ape Escape too. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Grand Turismo yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Clifton Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I really enjoyed the Quake series, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor. I can't stand RPG and strategy, FPS only. One I still play to this day is Comanche 4, flying a helicopter and going on missions. Fairly easy to learn. The missiles and explosions are quite cool. Unfortunately, the game was dropped after version 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiliwasabi Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 "Parachute" on Game & Watch. Not many could master the complex controls or not be blown away by the painted on screen graphics. I still marvel at how I managed to go left but then swiftly switch to going right to pick up those hapless parachutists in my little rowboat. It was truly a contest of skill.

I remember Alley Cat. Used to love it - though I must have been about 8 years old! Frogger - Play everytime I go to Bkk. Surprised nobody has mentioned Half Life(&Counter Strike) In other styles of game play, I liked C&C - All of 'em. Tiberium Wars, etc..Red Alert, etc.. and Generals, etc... I also have an unexplained weakness for railrood tycoon. I never had a train set as a kid. But I'm well behind on PC games these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozymandious Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Mario Kart for the SNES and 64 Zelda a Link to the past & Ochrina of Time Jak and Daxter Series Half life / Counter Strike Pilot wings MechWarrior 2 Star Craft (lost way too many hours to this one)... and apparently so has all of Korea. I'm not one for RPG's really but I did love Final Fantasy III on the SNES (I've picked it up again and am playing it on my GBA FFVI) GTA 3 was incredible when it first came out, I guess I’ve been numbed by it, Vice City and San Andreas were great too. The God of War Series is incredible for squeezing out every ounce of power out of my PS2 Original Contra for the NES Wizards and Warriors NES Always a fan of wrestling games with multi player. Particularly The SmackDown Series Donkey Kong Country Street Fighter II (before all the super duper hyper seizure inducing versions) Super Smash Bros N64 Star Fox SNES Worms Still Probably one of my all time favourites is Golden Eye for the N64 I'll have to add more to this list later.
