  • And there are two honourable mentions I would like to add: Bridge as a card game is the ultimate strategy game which can be kept in a small pocket. And the ancient Go, the ultimate strategy game ever, even far beyond Chess, and even though I can not play it myself because no one near me knows it, only the concept and depth of it leaves me in awe.

  • I'm surprised people are still playing TF2! Loved that game; sadly, I stopped playing PC games when my gaming machine died, or I'd probably still be playing it. Medic all the way.

    For me, my favourite all-time games would be:
    #1: Hostile Intent. It's an indie mod for the original Half-Life engine. Basically, CoD's Hardcore Search & Destroy. FPS PvP, very little health, one life per round. Long before CoD even existed.
    #2: Counterstrike--Surfing. Forget shooting stuff. That got old. But surfing? You can surf? Sweet! Too much fun.
    #3: Final Fantasy. Any of them.
    #4: Black & White. You are God. Literally. One of the first games where you could play as good, or evil, and the world re-acted to it. Will your people pray to you out of thanks for the crops you blessed, or out of fear that you'll pick them up and throw them off a cliff? Molyneaux game, not surprisingly.
    #5: Civilization. Any of them. The Xbox version was surprisingly good. Not as good as PC, but still, well worth it.
    #6: Railroad Tycoon 1 and 2. 3 was OK. 'Railroads!' Was terrible.

    Favorite game of all time, I'm sure I've put near 1,000 hours into the game.



    Duuuuude wildly underrated game—I feel ya. I thought I was the only one :p

    1. Wild Arms (PS1) easily the best RPG I have ever come across. I'm not even a Playstation guy and this shit is nuts. Crazy difficult with a seemingly endless story, I don't know how it's not split into two discs.

    2. Super Smash Bros. I play a lot of OG, but I adore melee and brawl too, I can't pick. Haven't touched the Wii U, I know I need to.

    3. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. This was the only non PC version (I had it for gamecube) of this series. Another brilliantly under-appreciated RPG. Surely one of y'all can bond with me over this one...?

    4. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door: There is so much to do in this game and so many different ways to go about beating it. Definitely logged a ridiculous amount of hours just trekking about pounding the ground for star pieces.

    5. Animal Crossing: Wild World. Too many hours logged—it has to make my list. I am super competitive (obviously. Every one of us in this community is) but this game was a nice change of pace. Really enjoyed catching fish and watering my flowers every day :mrgreen:

    Baldur's Gate, sure; amazing RPG. Never played the GameCube version though...

  • The PC versions were great, but the something about playing it with a real controller enhanced it for me. I waited for years for the rumored sequel but it never came :( I used to go into gamestop multiple times a month to inquire about it, but to no avail.

  • 1. Nier- Gestalt. THE MOST GORGEOUS SOUND TRACK I have ever heard. Interesting characters, terribly sad FTW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUn-kezLzeY&list=PL8DDD2D047A076DC8&index=12 Shit gets real in the second playthrough. It made me feel things.

    2. Borderlands- Months where wasted on this series of games.

    3. Metro 2033- Pretty gritty post apocalyptic game. Takes place in Russia after a nuclear event. The surface is toxic but they scrap a living in the Metro system. You play the game however you want- You don't know whats ahead or whether your own choices have made the game harder.

    4. SQUEEG OF SQUEGENDS (LoL)- Pretty toxic community but gotta love it. No game is the same and each helps you learn a little more about the game. Main Support- Nami and Karma are my Bae's

    5. Spore- You make a creature and follow the little guy from the aquatic goop it come from to a galactic empire, all the while you are in control of many of the way things look. Want it to have 50 eyes? bingo. Corgi Giraffe? He's gonna conquer the galaxy.
