favourite single player game/campaign

[suhlEap]

Oh damn I'm going to have to say Halo. Though specifically I mean the first one so it doesn't really help in the search for a new game.

For 360 itself I'll go with Mass Effect (though I'm hoping that'll be left in the dust as soon as Dragon Age: Origins comes out).

is the campaign in halo 3 any good cos i heard it's a bit of a letdown on the whole.

I probably wouldn't get it if you're after story, after the first game it can get a bit convoluted, but the actual gameplay is completely solid and incredibly fun. Especially if you like playing co-op.

i do like playing co-op, only recently played through gears 2 with my girlfriend's brother and i do find it fun to go through stories with someone else so i'll put that in the maybe pile so to speak.

Bioshock although quite short. Oblivion and Fallout 3 were amazing they were long and had a lot to do even after completion

 

[Baby Tea]

Baldur's Gate series

Absolutely this.
But those who know me know that isn't a surprise. Great games.

Bioshock has to be my favorite storyline so far, purely because of the fact that it can really drag me in.

Final Fantasy. All of them (besides 7 that is)

Why besides 7?

And thats just asking for a flame war btw.

System Shock 2. I love that game so much, when I'd finished it I got that same feeling I get when I finish a great book. It was over, and I wouldn't be going back. For a while...

Also, ICO. I know it's virtually plotless, but it was such a wonderful world to be in.

Mass Effect - the level of immersion is ridiculous, you grow attached to the characters and care for them, the game pulls you in and doesn't let go, not to mention the gameplay itself keeps you on your toes all the time, you never know, what's going to happen next.

GTA IV - pretty much the same thing, except you get annoying calls from your cousin.

Call of Duty 4 - never let's up, constant action and variety of missions. You sympathize with the characters and want to see what happens next. Too bad it's pretty short.

 

[ae86gamer]

Unchartedrake's Fortune
Bully
Mass Effect
Zone of the Enders
All of the MGS games.

Well in that case I highly recommend it. I'm a sucker for co-op and it really doesnt get any better than the Halo games.

Because I just didn't like it. All the people that worship 7 can go to hell it wasn't a hallowed piece of holy plastic it was a step into unknown territory for FF.
Something about it just wasn't right. I was bored after 5 hours whereas in all of them except the first one, I needed to have done absolutely everything to get bored (still haven't got that 100% on X-2, haven't the time to look for dresspheres)

OK fair enough. I liked all of the final fantasy games so far. I've only played up to 10 though I didn't play X-2 because I heard from a friend it was crap and I never played 11 because I think it was online. The ones i've played are great though. 7 Will always be my favourate one though because it's the one that got me into the franchise

Psychonauts, I love double fine productions

 

[partfluff]

Ico.

Shadow of the Colossus.

Two amazing must-get adventures for the PS2.

X-2...bad??? That is a load of rubbish. No one liked it because it was too girly. I, however, looked past the large amount of females in the main story and found what was an engaging, fantastically told story and one hell of a fluid combat system. X-2's combat system was my favorite next to VIII. It was quick, clean, no-one was fixed to one spot which was nice, fafing around in the menus meant you would get shafted by the fiends you were fighting and, of course, I still had my lovely sweet random battles....*reminisces*

Squeenix bring back random fighting...please...?

Spoiler

Not to mention those two songs have stayed with me for life. Play it or look up on youtube Real Emotion (2.30 ish) and 1000 words (4 mins) the game ones are better than the extended ones and believe me when I say that those songs inspired me to keep going in life

Hmm miight be tempted to break out the old ps2 and give it a play when I get the time and buy the game

 

[squballs1234]

Either Majora's Mask for N64 or Ocarina of Time for N64

 

[Craig FTW]

Kingdom Hearts. I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee KH1 and 2.

 

[Otterpoet]

Deus Ex and System Shock 2... pure, unadulterated genius

 

[Ariosona]

I'd say it was split between Ratchet and Clank 2, Jak and Daxter 1 or Jak and Daxter 3.

I just feel a desperate urge to love them games till i die.
