I was so disapointed in Tie vs. Xwing. I WANT, no, I NEED a good Star Wars space combat MP sim. Please Mr. Lucas?? You'll make money off of anything, how about this one little thing, or at least get the Homeworld engine and do a 3d combat one (Rebellion was ok, but so far behind in the combat aspect)

PS: Is that sig a Blaupunkt?

[drasnor]

I bought that game with _zero_ advance knowledge of what it was about. I was at Electronics Boutique and like, "hey, it's Square, it's got mecha." I get home, put it in my PS2, and don't leave my room for 48 hours. I had to turn down the volume while the folks were sleeping.

Xenogears is my no.1 favorite RPG. BTW, I'm hosting the Xenosaga II trailers if anyone doesn't want to wait three days to download them anywhere else:
Xenosaga II: Beyond Good and Evil Trailer 1 (DivX 5) 44.6MB (http://s88927831.onlinehome.us/Xenosaga_II_Trailer_1.avi)

Hey Worms is one awesome game. (well a couple really) I like Worms Armageddon a lot. Hilarious for friends and it has a monstrous learning curve for becoming a good roper - well worth it. A great many games never require so much skill for any part of them. It's a cool niche. Anyone else 'rope' by any chance?

[Xenogeared]

well i'm pretty sure you could guess it was my favorite game too, with my alias and avatar and all.

haha just saw the pic. My avatar is the original of that pic, just grayscaled.

Oh yeah, roping is the best! I always thought that the rope was better in the original Worms game than in the later ones though, but I thought the level of mobility the ninja rope injected into the game was great!

That grayscale was my desktop wallpaper for awhile (1024x768) :D. Have the Winamp skins too.

As far as Worms goes, I liked it a bunch, but I don't think it quite makes the "gaming binge" list. It took me a good deal of time to get the hang of the ninja rope and the SuperSheep. Mmmm... sheep.

[Mr_Bojingles]

worms was great. played it a lot at when I first started having lan parties a couple years ago.

[T-BirD]

I'll try to keep this short...my top games of all time, initially, in order of preference.

1. Quake I 3wave ctf and DM/clan arena(PC) - I've yet to find another game I'm as passionate about.

2. Sid Meier's Pirates! (C64..and also Amiga, NES, Genesis) - the only game to ever come close to sucking up as many years of my life as Quake has. ...and a SEQUEL HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED!

...and now, the pack in no major order:
Age of Empires/Kings with expansions (PC) - The second best RTS games ever, as far as I'm concerned...only trumped by:

Rise of Nations (PC) - the most FLAWLESSLY executed RTS ever! Expansion pack due out soon with even more features.

Defender of the Crown (C64, NES, GBA) - my introduction to turn-based strategy, which led to countless hours with:

KOEI games (Romance of the 3 Kingdoms, Genghis Khan, Bandit Kings of Ancient China, Nobunaga's Ambition, etc) (PC, NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2) - I've learned so much about ancient Japan, China, and Mongolia because of these...

Europa Universalis II (PC) - like KOEI games, but much more involved. Makes Civilization look like Child's play.

Super Metroid (SNES) - One of the first games I played EXCLUSIVELY until it was completed.

Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy (NES...and FF remake on PS1)

Atomic Bomberman (PC) - awesome multiplayer fun!

Die by the Sword - Ogre Hockey (in Limb from Limb expansion) (PC) - the first night this was played at the computer gaming club at Auburn University, I was in tears from laughing so hard.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto (PC) - hilarious singleplayer and great multiplayer!

No One Lives Forever 2 & Aliens vs Predator 2 (PC) - so far, my 2 favorite single player FPS games ever. (I've never finished System Shock 1, 2, or Undying)

Unreal Tournament (PC) - the closest any multiplayer fps has ever come to matching Quake 1's brilliance...but still a ways off. Instagib Morpheus is awesome tho :)

DooM 1 & 2 (PC) - cuz it was just so sweet. Also played it on SNES and 32X before getting it on the "big toy". Then I discovered mods, and consoles were nearly dead for me from 1996 to 2001.

Final Fantasy VI (SNES) - cuz I lost a ton of time to it and loved it.

Mafia (PC): The acting, gameplay, story, and fully realized city just left my jaw on the floor! I hope in the upcoming sequel pedestrians are more talkative and you can enter more buildings, but still...WOW! Being able to park your car in Chinatown's main square, walking to the nearest tram terminal and hitching a ride cross town and watching the city just live around you is amazing.

I'm sure I left out a few, but this list is getting lengthy. I'd like to add another potential tho:

Beyond Good & Evil (PC, PS2, GC, XBox) - This charming game tells a great story through superb voice acting. The gameplay's not too complicated, but I highly recommend it! ...especially since it doesn't seem to be doing too well at retail despite tons of critical praise :( :( :( Another nail in the coffin for innovative games I guess.

---------
An aside:

Thanks for the links to Xenosaga II trailers, drasnor! I've been trying to find these from a non-registration required site :( Any clue when it might come out? I just finished Episode I...loved it for the story and can't wait for more, but the gameplay started getting a little tedious.

[KingFish]

My fav games, in no particular order:

Battlefield 1942 with Desert Combat (all time favorite)
Ghost Recon
Doom
Simcity 4
Age of Empires series with expansions
Colonization (blast from the past)

I like the army shooter types of games for first person shooter types and real time strategy games is simcity/age of empires.

I´ve found this download site for old SimCity Classic game:
SPAM City We Need Your Money! :Pwned: [EDITED by Leonardo]

Not quite:

We're sorry but because of increasing service maintaining costs we had to introduce paid subscription to our service. We offer 2 simple plans - either pay only $4 to use our download service without any limitations for 1 day, or for $6 you get unlimited downloads for the whole month! We hope this measure is sufferable for you - it costs you almost nothing and it really saves our site. If you really can't afford it, then we are very sorry, but there is no other way if we want to keep our site up. Thank you.

Fallout 3 edges out Oblivion, for replay-ability

[Cliff_Forster]

So many great games! Keep in mind, I am 34 so I will base my opinion on what the game provided me when I first discovered it.

#1 - Half Life 2 - PC (it re defined the single player shooter experience)
#2 - Galaga - Arcade (I discovered it when I was seven and never stoped playing)
#3 - Legend of Zelda - NES (It more or less invented the console adventure genre)
#4 - Unreal Tournament - PC (mindless fragging, Yes!!, I still visit Deck 16)
#5 - Call of Duty 2 - PC (I still remember the first time I poped a smoke grenade)
#6 - Tekken 3 - Arcade (Home figters are fine, but Tekken 3 in a busy arcade, bliss)
#7 - Burnout 3 - Xbox - (Racing for the common man, Crashing is fun!!!)
#8 - Castlevania Symphony of the Night - PSone (CV but adds depth, replay value)
#9 - Resident Evil 4 - Gamecube (Zombie Horde + improved controls and graphics!)
#10 - Mario Kart Wii - Wii (An old favorite done even better on wii)
#11 - Portal - PC (Now you know the cake is a lie)
#12 - Super Metroid - SNES - (Castlevania SOTN borrowed heavily from this classic)
#13 - New Super Mario Bros. - DS - (The DS version is the difinitve 2D platformer)
#14 - Street Fighter IV - PC - (SF II Alpha + updated visuals = win)
#15 - Mega Man 2 - NES - (Using Gamefaq's for the boss order is cheating!)

Get OpenTTD here (http://www.openttd.org/en/download-stable). It's a GNU version of the opening it up a lot and adding some great features.

Though you'll still need the original data files to play. Might check here (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Transport-Tycoon-Replay-Deluxe-PC/dp/B00005LDJB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1253840510&sr=8-1) to purchase the original game. It's obviously very easy to find on abandonware sites via google..but I'll leave that up to you(and would never advocate it in this forum for fear of Thrax's wrath)

[GooD]

For its time, a very old game is my favorite of all time : Lords of the realms 2. I even played this game again last year and still having a great time with it. Maybe thats just me, but it's the Best medieval STR i've ever played. It was simple but complex at the same time :P Old time memories :)

I also love almost every game that comes from Bioware : Baldurs gates 2 is a gold classic. Never Winter Nights was a blast too.

Otherwise Max Payne on PC was unbelievable too :)

I play A LOT of games, but few are listed in my "hall of fame" :P

Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas was something too, they made a HUGE open world on the very performance limited PS2, i was impressed.
