Metal Gear Solid on the PS one! What a Classic!! If you haven't played this you haven't played at all! Metal gear Solid is brilliant stuff. Of course graphics are better now but the plot was incredable. I've never seem a better storyline in a game. Oh lets not forget what happens when you die.... "SNAAAAAAAAAAKEE!?"
I love MGS and I'll always give it a perfect score. 10/10
Final Fantasy 7 and 8. Love them both to death. Once you know what your doing with materia on 7 Diamond Weapon is not as much fun. Omega weapon on FF8 though! Not to be messed about with.
Halo 2 - Put it on legendary... just put it on. Get a mate round and be prepared to spend 6 hours on the first level. 3 on one bit! Brilliant stuff and 4 player is top stuff (Nothing beats golden eye for the N64 though!!!). Has the ability for 16 player deathmatches.... it just has to be done!
9/10

This game is amazing, and easily the best RPG of 2005. It's not released in English yet, so you guys won't see it until '06. I've been playing the import and loving every minute of it. Even if you hated Tales games in the past, you can't hate this. This the first game in a very long time where the story and characters have affected me so much. I know some people who actually cried at a certain point in the game. The graphics are beautiful, the music is extremely well done, and the battles are classic Tales real-time fighting, what can I say.
Right now I am totally hooked on Far Cry Instincts I'd rate it right up there with Halo which is at the top of my list for FPS. I'm about half way through and it has a nice single player campaign. You may want to set it on hard though or it might be too easy. Excellent replay value too as you can go back and select levels you've completed and enjoy them again and find alternate routes and ways to eliminate your foes.
I just finished Burnout Revenge which was great but not as fun as Takedown. The tracks are interesting and the ramps are what it's all about! It was just a bit too short IMO and what's up with the 10 takedown limit on multiplayer roadrage?? I can't believe they didn't fix that from the last one and make it adjustable.
Other than that I will always go back and play both Halo games, Mercenaries, Rainbow Six, and Burnout Takedown.
Halo 2 - Put it on legendary... just put it on. Get a mate round and be prepared to spend 6 hours on the first level.
Go solo from start to finish on Legendary... it's a challenge but it makes the game much more fun

Final Fantasy 6 - 11/10
I mention this game because as soon as I can, I'm going right back into it on emulator as soon as I can. It's my all time favorite, but after recently discovering that the ending changes depending on who is in your party, I can't resist one more ride, even if it will be with cheats to speed up results.
Besides that, there is not a single aspect that I think doesn't shine with this game, it is what I compare all RPG's to, even FF7, because everything was done right.
I may have to pick up Far Cry Instincts since it's supposed to be improved in many ways over the PC version. Plus, my PC needs a new video card. I still can't play Far Cry smoothly on it.
I just hate playing FPS games with a console controller.
This game is really a lot of fun. I know, it might not be the best game for xbox. evar. for you guys, but it is for me. I really like the music in it. I really hope Fable 2 doesn't cliche the music as was the case with Halo-to-Halo 2.
Well, I hope it doesn't follow any of the ways of Halo-to-Halo 2. How disappointing. I know they made it simply for xbox Live, but still...
Also...
Final Fantasy VIII > All other Final Fantasys thus far.
Omega Weapon was easy for me.
=\
A lame waste of Heros, too.
Ultima Weapon was much harder simply because I was at an earlier level when I fought it. It sucks when your people with Revive and Recover die by its one-hit kill. Defend doesn't even block it. It sucks.
PS. I cannot figure out what Ultimacia says at the end of her speech. I try and try to keep her speaking, but I always end up killing her after she says "And..." and nothing else.
If someone with Final Fantasy VIII can try and figure out what she says, I'd be really curious to know.
Thanks!

Not even the K-Mart Blue Light internet with the banner across the screen that didn't quite go away when starcraft loaded could ruin my gaming experience. I was thrilled as I accompanied Jim Raynor on all sorts of adventures in the Tarsaronis Sector. There are so many aspects to the game that make it amazing. The campaign was brilliant, the regular multiplayer was well balanced and designed, UMS maps were ghetto but so much fun, money maps weren't anywhere near balanced but the progression, amazing. After a couple years I went from the standard 'toss turtling carrier noob to having all sorts of crazy strategies to beat 'toss turtling carrier noobs. And minimaps, insane, fast paced, and just so much fun. 64x64 map (about the size of a medium-large town for people who know RTS but not SC) with 8 players. Even now, nearly a decade later, I still get back on Starcraft and kick it with Micro Spiral. 11/10
Well said. When i first tried those micro maps i couldn't stand them...i mean, how can i build 12 centers and nuke silo's to wipe out my enemies? Nonetheless, i started seeing the light and enjoy micro maps immensely. Although, I haven't played in ages, just look up my stats (nick is gloco). I've been around for a while
I still would love (or die) to play a good 3v3 game for an hour...or two. Those were the best, just a constant battle of the ages...mass hydras vs mass gol's vs mass tanks vs. mass goons...you get the idea...
Warcraft 2 got me into pc gaming and i have a lot of good memories of playing 2 hrs+ before we would call a truce and just end the damn match because we were at a stand still. Still, using those death knights juiced up on speed and shield and using that rotting spell to wipe out someone's army was a load of fun. Lots of defensive planning went into winning which made war2 online a bundle of joy to play. Mass ogres with bloodlust and some dk's were sweet. Even nuttier was the fact that you had to have like 24 barracks to keep up since you could only queue up one build at a time. Or using townhalls (upgraded to castles) to act as buffers so the enemies couldn't walk right in and devestate the money trail.
Or even worse, when you would get backstabbed...i used to win some of those when i got backstabbed. Felt great to wipe the floor with idiots like that.
