It's usually the first thing I play when I fire up MAME. It's still great.

Any of the gaming regulars from the other place won't be surprised by my choices here, but I'll list them all anyway...

Ninja Gaiden - The most perfect game ever created IMO. Action, graphics, style, and a huge amount of skill needed to be great at it. Incredible bosses, numerous enemies which constantly force you to change your tactics, a multitude of weaponry and magic make it a game that demands to be completed. Still in the top 300 in the world at it as well

Resident Evil 4 - Simply amazing game that ties as my favourite game on the Gamecube. Great storyline, great action, memorable bosses, and a control scheme that's better than any RE game before it. Now, if they can figure out a way to make him move and shoot at the same time, it'll be damn near perfect.

Eternal Darkness - The only game I've ever played through 3 times in a row, just so I could get the true ending. The insanity features in the game are very unique and very cool, it's worth playing it just for that. Also, taking control of a different character in each level, but seeing how each level integrates with others is very cool and keeps the game fresh.

Mafia - The best PC game ever made. A storyline without equal IMO, and voice acting that's on par with many films, plus the fantastic action segments make this great. Only the poor driving sequences between missions mark it down slightly.

God of War - PS2's answer to Ninja Gaiden (at least in terms of action), and it comes pretty damn close to being as good at it. Graphically as good as any PS2 game (and a lot of Xbox games), the action is pretty much nonstop with only a few small puzzle segments breaking up the pace. Naked boobies at the start as well! \o/

Close but didn't quite make it.....

Deux Ex, PES, Champ/Football Manager, Civ series, MGS series, GTA series, TES: Oblivion.

What's scary is I could have easily named your top 5 games Davey

Davey_Pitch · 11-09-2006, 20:13

Hehehe

If Oblivion maintains it's playability as it has done then I think it may well push God of War out of the top 5 and jump in, even 300 hours into it I'm still really enjoying it and finding new things

300 hours?! You could play Final Fanasty Dave

Oh dear, some legendary games haven't been mentioned here...

Dune 2 - What can I say? I still love this game despite its awkward controls for today.

Z - The best. The absolute best. Then again I'll probably say this again in this post so it probably isn't saying much.

UFO: Enemy Unknown - The only turn based strategy game I truly enjoyed, and with good reason.

Deus Ex - I know this one has been put forward before, but I honestly can't get enough of this one either.

Original War - No one seems to like this game, or to have even heard of it. I adore it. It is the definition of 'underrated'. It forced you to think about what you were doing and a dead man actually mattered.

Even me spending ages messing around in FF7 only racks up 100hrsish

I've yet to really get into Oblivion but I think it's because I've barely touched it so it hadn't 'caught' me yet. I'll get round to it one day. Still got a strange feeling I'd prefer it on the 360 too.

Console:

Mario World - the first game I was ever hopelessly addicted to.

Stunt Racer FX - I sunk countless hours into this game, loved every minute of it.

Unirally - The quirkiest game I've ever played! Had more character and charm than any game I have played since, and I really mean that.

PC:

Half Life - made me really pull my finger out and nag for a PC. I bought it before the PC was even built, in the end. This leads to:

Team Fortress Classic - the only game I've really ploughed a lot of online time into. I used to play this game all day every day for months. Awesome. Best net MP game ever.

Oblivion - I love this thing. It's just fun, I can do what I want.

Stan_Lite · 12-09-2006, 04:18

I've never done much gaming in the past and have recently started having a go so my list will be short.

Sonic 2 (Sega Megadrive) - was the first game I really played properly and is, to date, the only game I've ever completed without cheating (I can't believe I spent so many hours making a blue hedgehog run around picking up gold rings

).

Unreal II (PC) - I enjoyed playing this and did finish it but in God mode (just to see what the ending was like) I will have to play it properly sometime.
Unreal tournament (G.O.T.Y edition and 2004) (PC) - both very enjoyable and my current favourites.
Warcraft III (PC) - the first game I started playing when I took this up recently. I stopped it as I wanted to play some FPS games to improve my hand-eye co-ordination but will get back to it someday.

That's about it. If we have another thread like this in 10 years time, I may have more to add but for now, that's my gaming experience so far.
