Phoenix Network Forums

I know this is another old fashion highly extended forum topic...
But really now wqhat was the best game you ever played???
Please now argument your choice and place it inside a category like adventure, strategy etc.
Also i dont want crappy responses like i love fear because is sooo cooooool (fear was chosen here as an aleatory example i have nothing against that particular game)
Ill post my favorites in a couple of days to extend a list on all categories (hope this is not dicouraging anybody like: hmm the forum creator doesnt even post hes opinion )

I'm a big shooter fan.

Shooters:
Half-Life (and it's mods)
Half-Life 2 (and it's mods)
FEAR
Doom (it's obligatory, you can't hate doom)
Halo 2 (Halo 1 was good, but I didn't get an Xbox til after Halo 2 came out. Online Rox.)

RPGs:
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Haven't had the gaming power to play Oblivion)

Other:
Grand Theft Auto (All of them)
Hitman: Blood Money

I dunno, basicly I'm into anything with an extensive plot line with lots of different things you can exploit.

Hmmm yeah i liked the half lifes too, about doom why not? Morrowind a lot of things to do i mean A LOT . Strangely i didnt like any of the GTAs nor any of the hitmans...

Best shooter: Killzone, and overall one of the best and most attractive and addictive games ever played..
I'm also a great fan of the Fifa Football series. The latest one (2006) has much improved to the other years. Defender are much harder to beat now. You really have to play more tactical.

Grand Theft Auto ... now that is a good game ... all of them

I espically like how you can just drive around and listen to all those random radio stations. Really good way to waste time.

I`m RPG fan.

RPGs:
Ultima Online
MU Online
Diablo

Shooters:
Counter-Strike

Other:
Grand Theft Auto
Red Alert 2
Heroes 5

Yes off i also like red alert 2 and to some extent heroes 5 but have you tried the first chapters in the heroes series??

erm probably half life, although i like age of empires and civalisation type games too.

Best games I ever played are StarCraft: BroodWar, Half-Life, and WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne

Keep posting people its good to know your opinion

counterstrike ofcourse :p

and i still like the game splintercell

for the rest well all the games are good but for me a bit boring

Ok, for short the current ones:
- Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion : graphics, also the open-ended-ness of it makes it a bit immersive. It is one of the first games in which I feel I am the character I am playing.
- World of Warcraft : More or less like the above.

And for long, my all-time favorite games by genre:

FPS:
- Quake 3 Arena, note the title, its not Quake2 nor Quake4. It is the fast-pace of Quake 3 that I like, all other shooters tend to be rather slow.
- Unreal Tournament (1999 Game of the Year version). : I sincerely do not know why this is one of my favorites, it just is.

Strategy:
- Warcraft I, II, and III with their expansions. : Their plot, they were my favorites even before WoW was in the picture.
- Starcraft + Broodwars : same as above.

I don't really like strategy games, but the plot of these two made my RTS experience change to a mere orchestrator of an epic battle sequence.

RPG & MMORPG: Story, immersion, need I say more?
- Diablo I and II + Expansion
- Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
- World of Warcraft

Misc: These are just fun, more on the collective side of fun. (LAN)
- Worms Armageddon
- Tetrinet

Partially faded from memory but very good to me long time ago: These I do not remember why, but when I think of cool games, they just pop into my head.
- Doom I and II
- Halloween Harry
- Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure
- Duke Nukem
- The Incredible Machine
- Stunts 3d
- Prince of Persia I and II

Edit: Fixed some errors.

the best game i've played is Toca race driver 3!!!
someone else play it?!

Hi All..
Here playing Worm World Party in my office using LAN against my boss and also DemonStar.Just small game here...

mahard

I'm currently enjoying Age of Empires II with Expansion (strategy) and Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge (strategy). I also loved Silent Hill 2 and 3 for PC (action/puzzle), which I play primarily for the awesome puzzles. Silent Hill 4 stunk because it removed these. Morrowind (adventure) was fun up until I reinstalled Linux and Windows, and I forgot to back up my save file...
Quake 2 (fps) is also extremely fun, since it will run on just about any computer. People still play it online, too. I enjoy it more than Quake III.
