5 Videogames everyone should play

[velcrokidneyz]

Team Fortress 2,
Crash Bandicoot 3,
Pokemon Blue,
Psi Ops,
and finally, Just Cause 2.

I think it's well rounded and hit some great games.

''God why didnt i think of the pokeymans or CB 3. soooo fun when i was a kid. JC2 is a great one too.

 

[Dr. Win]

OoT
Half Life 1 & 2
Team Fortress 2
CoD 4
All Halos except Wars

That's my list anyway.

1. Whatever
2. interests
3. you
4. the
5. most

There are no 5 definitive games because it depends on the person. I've introduced some people through Assassin's Creed, others through Portal and Bioshock. It's literally down to the individual.

QFT.

I think to get anyone interested in anything you have to personalize.

I play/GM table top RPGs...and I'm pretty good, if I do say so myself. But if I'm going to introduce a newbie to gaming, I'm not going to run whatever game I like best on them, I'm going to take into account their preexisting interests and likes to best maximize the chances I'll hook them into gaming. So if they love scifi, I'm not going to bust about a fantasy campaign. If their favorite TV show is Deadwood, maybe I'll run them through a Western.

Same thing with comic books, films, TV shows, and computer games.

My dad isn't really the video game type. But if I were going to try to get him interested, I'd probably try:
Brothers In Arms
The Godfather
Red Dead Redemption/Gun/some Western

My mom was always interested in video games. If I wanted to get her interested in modern video games that would be easy.
She mentioned being interested in Tomb Raider...so that would be one for her.
Mass Effect (all of them)
Deus Ex
Morrowind
Silent Hill 2

Tailor to your audience.

Hmm... lets see:

- Minecraft for the limitless fun
- Fallout 3 it's a really solid game (also, let me toss in Oblivion here too)
- Halo series pretty fun stuff. dunno bout multi, but single was great!
- Delta Force series (yeah, old as dirt and probably not around anymore. but it was the granddaddy of all pc mmo FPS! awesome game... just awesome)
- GTA SA but none of the others... it was a good game, but they seemed to lose the sandboxiness after it. oh well.

(runners up: FF8, FF Tactics, Forsaken Worlds, COD, Desktop Dungeons)
