Cool Favorite video games.

What are your favorite games?

Not that I really am into video games much these days, I'm too old and have better thing to do but....

Just a list in no particular order.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of time (just a great adventure basically, so well put together).



GTA Vice City (awesome cool 80's vibe, the best GTA game).



Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butchers Bay (great atmosphere and dark vibe).



ICO (unique and awesome).



Metroid Prime (very unique and great atmosphere when it first came out).



Super Metroid (played this for ages on the SNES, great atmosphere again).



COD (the first two games were a breath of fresh air and had epic WW2 confrontations. "Into the fascist lair!").



Resident Evil 4 (just great).



Prince of Persai (the 3D re-imagining was especially fresh when it came out).

Final Fantasy 7. Loved this game in the 90's and played it for hours on end.

The first 2 or 3 Tomb Raider games - there was the obvious attraction but the depth and plot of these games at the time was excellent.

Lego Star Wars - It's great fun playing 2 player with my 7 year old

Some great games listed here - and have spent (wasted ) many hours on most of them! I'd add:

Elite - wish someone would do a modern multi-player version of it!

Sensible Soccer

Settlers

Total Annihilation

Red Dead Redemption

Best 'modern' game is Halo on the XBox but retro I would have to say the arcade version of Streetfighter

Metal gear solid 1 ( what a game)
Streets of rage
Tomb raider
FF VII ( spent hours ,possibly days in it)

There's two schools of thought:
1 - Yes.
2 - No as David Braben didn't write it.

It will be interesting if Braben ever gets around to writing the game rather than writing about it.

Never really got into that stuff. I find Jap RPG stuff a little soulless, which is why I liked Zelda stuff.

I'm playing Mass Effect 2 ATM which is an RPG of sorts.

Zelda ocarina of time is a top game, still got a copy laying about somewhere and agree the experience was more enjoyable than ff7.

Not played much in recent years, but back in the days of the PS1 I enjoyed Metal Gear Solid enormously. Silent Hill was brilliant too, along with maybe Dino Crisis.

When I update my Mac I will definitely be getting the COD games.

Colin McRae Rally 5, TOCA3, Grid, and I am just about to get into F1 2010. Once I can find out how to set it up which is not very well explained, but it is looking pretty promising.

I was slightly addicted to video games from about 8 years old onwards starting with a Binatone thing that you played pong and motorcycle games on.

So probably in order:

Space Invaders (VCS)
Combat (VCS)
Star Raiders (Atari 800)
Shamus (Atari 800)
Miner 2049r (Atari 800)
International Karate (Atari -- slightly cheating as contract programmed this version)
Monty on the Run (C64)
Way of the Exploding Fist (C64)
GoldenEye (N64)
Mario Kart (N64)

<Long gap -- girls happened >

Ridge Racer (PS)
Virtua Fighter (Saturn)
Doom (PC)
Duke Nukem 3D (PC)
Unreal Tournamount
Quake (PC)
Postal 2 (PC)

And I've forgotten the rest.
