I've only played streets of rage 2 out of those, so I guess I'll vote for that lol

I cant believe it was 11 years since it came out.

Fishing, catching chickens, going back in time, riding a horse etc.

Make that 11

I never liked Zelda OOT anywhere near as much as many other people did, but I can still understand why it could be number one. However, I do believe it has been surpassed at least once for sure, and that's by Half-Life which has still to this day got the best story and adventure in a FPS, amazing design and progression, sounds, music, and the AI had personality.

Doom was THE game I played back in the day. Could only be one winner for me.

Doom is surely the most timeless of the lot on there. I still return to it now and again, brilliant stuff. Then again, I don't like beat-em-ups (so SoR2 is out) and I don't think the other two are as genre-defining as Doom. Hence, Doom.

I don't get why people cite Half Life as having a fantastic story as there barely was one. A summation follows:

Experiment opens tear in dimension
Baddies come through
You are asked to help close tear
Government tries to cover up accident
You fire rocket into tear which fails
You go into dimension to close tear yourself

The end.

There must be more to it than i'm noticing or something as i've played it through 4/5 times now. No character development, no plot twists and barely any dialogue. Half Life 2 was far better if you included the expansions as it actually had a plot with interesting characters.

+ ravensholme was terrifying.

I have a hankering after Doom again. Must try and find an install (I had the original floppy disk version but they're probably well past their 'use by' date).

It's available on the Xbox Live Arcade too Mark

400 points iirc.
Not the same as on the PC of course, but very convenient!

The story was amazing because you felt you were in it rather than watching it. Amazing.

Ooh, thanks for the Arcade tip Haly. Just played through the demo. Not convinced by the control system (prefer the PC) but worth £3? Probably.
