What Game Do You Think Everyone Must Play?

[Dommyboy]

The Game itself.

 

[ti11man21]

flower, most definitely.

 

[Mondzo]

Then i must say "DoTT" (Day of the Tentacle)

Dont know how many hours i spent on it long ago.

Edit: And Discworld ofc rincewind ftw!

 

[SeaCalMaster]

I'm a bit shocked that no one has nominated Earthbound yet. Few games are as much of a trip as that one.

 

[sylekage]

Sh. Don't say anything. I would have to say halo. Just to see where the series started and why the X-box is so huge now. And I'll agree with everyone else when I say Zelda.

 

[BENZOOKA]

None,since games of choice are based on opinions.

This ain't no communist world.I kid,i kid.

Agreed

 

[Brad Shepard]

I would say FF8, for the story alone, but non JRPG, i will have to say the new Darksiders, im playing it right now and its frecking awesome!

 

[L-J-F]

Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45.

Nothing comes close.

 

[Dark Knifer]

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.

That sounds perfectly resonable, as long as it's a proper nintendo game and not wii sports or something.

 

[whycantibelinus]

I would say Deus Ex, it's complicated but can be played many, many, many ways and the story is freaking awesome.

 

[SomebodyNowhere]

I'd say something in an actual arcade like a cabinet version of Donkey Kong, Centepede, Pacman or one of the many other arcade classics.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

Ocarina of Time.

Goldeneye.

The original Super Mario Brothers.

Only after playing these three games can you be considered a true gamer.

 

[whycantibelinus]

Jet Set Radio Future. Enough posting and go play it NOW!

That game is fucking WACKY dude.

 

[Fappy]

I'm going to go with you.

Everyone must play Ocarina Of Time to be a gamer.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I played the N64 Zelda game...wasn't that good.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

I think everyone at some point must play Abe's Oddysee.

 

[MurderousToaster]

The game of "Please stop making favourite game threads (No matter how disguised)".

That and Half-Life.

 

[Kanlic]

Resident Evil 4 is near perfect, it combines RPG elements with high tension 3rd person shooting, not to mention the story itself was a pretty compelling experience

 

[MetallicaRulez0]

I'll go ahead and say Panzer Dragoon on the old Sega Saturn. Probably the best rail shooter of all time, and ENDLESSLY entertaining.

 

[Blank Verse]

Pong.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I must admit I feel like less of a gamer as I have never played a Zelda game.

My nomination goes to the Half-Life series though. Although Half-Life is by no means beyond critisism I think it shows just what the medium of games can accomplish in both storytelling and emmersion.

I agree; even if you don't like FPS's, (if you're like chick or something, come on, who doesn't like fps's?) try Half-Life. oh, and Portal.

EDIT: and Psychonauts.
