Games that get your blood pumping

[camokkid]

All of the RTS battles in Brutal Legend.

Ten minutes into each one, I think that all is lost, but then the AI player seems to have forgotten what they are doing, and I kill 'em to teeny tiny pieces.

Cookie for reference.

1 manning a tank on expert in L4D was pretty manic, wa sshaking afterward to the point tht I struggled to run to the chopper.

Also Lord of the Rings Return of the King, The Southern Gate level was awesome fun..So fun, i miss that game.

Oh and finally, the Halo music is always pretty good for getting into a game

Audiosurf
L4D2
The Original Alien vs Predator

EDIT: I'd put UPLINK in there at first though, followed by Defcon

Ragnarok Online, when I get called a noob on my maxed out character, so I kill an MvP boss with two hits just to prove the noob wrong.

Barbie AHERM! I mean Borderlands

There is no feeling like killing 3 lvl 18 beast at lvl 14!

EDIT: I was in the last round of the arena.
Damn those Alpha.. dog-things

It's a MANLY game.

I thought MW2 would get my heart moving at faster pace, but not as much as TF2. Still does it for me.

I actually tried to play TF2 on Xbox 360 the other day.

I thought there were still some people playing it.

Ah, they probably all moved to pc.

They DID all move to PC, there's no question.

Just because they say it has better gameplay.

I find the PC controls to be very unimmersive.

The precision aiming is probably better, but when I want to turn 180 degrees, I either have to be playing Left 4 Dead, or I have to pick up my mouse and move it to the other side of my desk.

Half-Life 2: The first time I played this, I screamed during the boat segment. From the time I got attacked to when I made it to home base, I was a constant stream of: "AHHH! AHHH! AHHH! AHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" When the ramps started coming up, it got even more intense.

I played that level over a 100 times, maybe more, in the 6 years or so that I own that game, and it still has that effect on me.

Borderlands at times does it too, especially when I saw 2 loot containers across a nice little arena flanked by 2 rather large dens. "Well," I thought, "I can fight a couple of Alpha Skags." Sadly I had to fight an endless friggin' stream of Alpha Skags, now that got the blood pumping. I ended up killing...15 or so? The whole arena was littered with dead Skags, I still wonder how I did it.

A difficult fight in Dragon Age: Origins does the same, I remember fighting the first Ogre during the Battle of Ostagar. You only just started playing, but damn that was intense.

Surprisingly, the Need for Speed Shift demo did that too for me. Sure I only played it a couple of times, but good gods that was one big adrenaline rush.

And of course, the many multiplayer games: Unreal Tournament (the original, screw all the weak crap of today), L4D/L4D2 (I love and hate you Expert), TF2 (front-line sniping is intense) even MW2 when I'm on an awesome killstreak.

And that's not even all the games that do that for me. Getting an adrenaline rush from a game isn't exactly rare for me.

Left 4 Dead <- Expert for campaigns and Modded versus...10 Tanks per round - 2 per spawn events
UT and UT2k4
Nexuiz <- Old school FPS
Warning Forever <- Great SHUMP
Team Fortress Classic <- Local tournies are intense

Halo 2 has my favorite soundtrack.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Most good multiplayer games.

 

[captain wow]

Most recently Modern Warfare 1, Uncharted 2, Arkham Asylum and some parts of MW2 story mode but not the multiplayer. Resident Evil 1 to 4, Quake II, Doom, Half Life, MGS series. These games get my blood pumping in a positive enjoyable kinda way. Most games get my blood up in a pointless-teeth-grinding-spittle-flying-controller-through-TV-fury-inducing unenjoyable kinda way

Warning! You will not be at a safe distance in an event that a spoiler goes off.
Yeah, but, when you're shot by Sheperd, it's kinda a buzzkill.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

If anything a game on Wii did it because I was actually moving. The though of any other type of game getting blood pumping is kinda sad to me.

Just raise sensitivity, it'll turn you more with littler movement.

Oh, and Sudden Death in TF2.

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 Terrorist hunt on Realistic. One false move you're dead.

Also if you've been stuck on that one BASTARD of a song on Rock Band for months and get past the hard part it's the greatest satisfaction known to man. I'M LOOKING AT YOU GREEN GRASS AND HIGH TIDES!

Call of Duty. Especially online. If you're not getting the adrenaline going you probably won't survive long.

Assasin's Creed 2.

GRAH!
