I went ahead and did the old combining more than one game in a franchise on one place, cause I felt like it. (;
1. Baldur's Gate II (PC)
PC role-playing awesomeness! I could go on and on about what's so great about this game, interesting characters, engaging plot, incredible play-time and all that. But when you start playing it at eight p.m and the next time you check the clock it's 5 a.m, you know you have a winner!
2. Zelda ALTTP(SNES), LA(GB), OOT(N64), WW(GC), TP(WII)
I've always been a huge fan of the Zelda series and call me fanboy but I don't know which one I'd prefer. So I'm just gonna go with those 5.
3. MGS/MGS3 (PS/PC) and (PS2)
Solid Snake is just cool, that's kind of half of the game. Other than that, sneaking around for a change instead of just gunning everybody down was a nice change. The plot was exciting (especially if you knew the story from the older games) and had some nice twists in it.
TS for GameCube was pretty nice, it had some really cool cinematics, but I didn't like the removal of accents from the support team and overall, the voice-acting just wasn't as good. The MSG2 engine kind of made the game to easy as well, even on the harder difficulties.
MSG3 was on a similar level of awsome as MGS and I really enjoyed the outdoors sneaking and the camofluage gameplay was fun. Some incredible moments in this game, it's just what I expect from a MGS game, grand.
4. Civ 4
The second was great, the third pretty good and the fourth is the best! Build a civilization and and compete with others. It's strategy on a grand scale and a game I've never gotten tired of. Isn't to demanding on hardware either so it's great for the laptop on trips.
5. Not too sure about this one tbh. My mate and I have been trying to beat Super Probetector (Contra 3 in the US)for the SNES on hard without dying once, so right now I guess I could put that one there, it's an awsome game as well, hard but fun as hell with a mate.
I have to ask though, seriously, what's so great about Halo? I played through the first one, and fair enough it was an okay game. Cool weapons, fun to blow up enemies an' all that. But it wasn't spectacular. I started playing the second one but I got so bored with it, to me it feels like it's trying to stand out in some way, but it's just so mundane and unexciting.
Reminds me of the old C&C Renegade, and if you haven't played it, trust me, it's not a good thing.
