What Game Do You Think Everyone Must Play?

[Julianking93]

Self explanatory.

What game or series do you think every gamer must play in their life time?

I got the idea for this when I was PMing someone who said they have never played Zelda. I don't know how that's possible, but apparently it is.

So that's my answer. I think every gamer has to play at least one Zelda game.

My gut instinct says Portal, but I know a few minutes after posting this something else will come to mind.

I don't really think there is a game everyone should play,some like FPS and RPGs bore them litterally to tears.



I would'nt force someone who hated all music but Classical(for example) to listen to And so I watch you from a far(a great thing to have a shirt) and neither would I outside this metaphor turned advertisment.

Super Mario World, guys, you're missing the obvious. I would say the original Super Mario Bros, but world 6-3 STILL causes me to pull out my hair, and I played that first when I was like, six. Twelve years later I still can't beat it. World I do in a day. It's more accessible, I feel.

It's too hard to narrow down - I'd be tempted to say Half Life 2, but come on, who hasn't played THAT already?

So I'm going to go with Grim Fandango - the last good graphic adventure game, and one that's so terribly overlooked by many. It's also the reason I still love Tim Schafer despite Brutal Legend disappointing me beyond belief.

Wow, at least play the game before you judge the people that play it

Any Nintendo game.

If you have not played a Nintendo game then you are not a gamer. As silly as I sound I am serious.

I'm going to go with you.

Everyone must play Ocarina Of Time to be a gamer.

Well, I played it last week, but I couldn't finish it. Stupid Water Temple...

And as I said in my topic last week, I don't think there is.

 

[Patricius]

Either Zelda: OoT, Wind Waker, or maybe Sonic 3 & Knuckles. All of 'em rocked my socks.

 

[delet]

Shadow of The Colossus.

Definitely that. It's a game that you'd either love, or hate, but it's definitely worth the time.

Even Luigi's Mansion?

KOTOR. The ending alone shows what a well done character driven narrative can provide in this medium.

 

[DuplicateValue]

I haven't played Zelda. Do I have to leave the site now?

But I would say that you have to have played either Spyro or Crash Bandicoot. When they were good, that is.

 

[No_Remainders]

The Secret of Monkey Island. I will most likely refuse to speak to you if you haven't played the best game of all time.

This one.

 

[orangebandguy]

You must play my game.


You won't be allowed out the room until you complete my challenges and I shall test all of you. You know what? I'm too lazy for that.


I'd say you'd have to have played any one of: Pac Man, Super Mario Brothers or any kind of old Nintendo or retro game

 

[ae86gamer]

Pong. Its fun and easy to understand.

 

[Sassafrass]

Viva Pinata.
I demand you all play it to death if you haven't already.
