i whip out okami from the altar i've prepared for it, and slap people with its creativity and art style
Okay since you asked, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.
Yeah I know, I know, why the hell would you want such an old generic fps about an Indian shooting up dinosaurs in different dimensions? Actually that sounds quite good to me!
But anyway, yes it is a generic shooter about all the above but it was awesome in it's simplicity! They kicked you in a jungle with a bow and arrow and a knife, and you would actually go to places like abandoned ruins, caves, the some abandoned ruins and well... more caves, but it never actually seemed the same, also the enemies and guns just get increasingly bigger and more bad-ass!
What I'm trying to say, it's awesome and fun in its own unique and expertly simple way.
And that's what games are supposed to do, immerse you, make you have fun, make you marvel at the sight of the beautiful scenery. And a great and awesome game makes it so that years later you still can play it.
And that is what this game has done for me.
Btw you can download the game itself for free.

It's fun to play even in today's society of next gen games.

I defend gaming, because it keeps me sane and entertained. Those alone are enough. The game of choice Diablo 2 (wow is really hard to defend 
). There is nothing more relaxing than going home, getting a huge hammer and going on a mob killing spree after that failed test in history class, that you hate alongside with the teacher. For me history lessons have ended long time ago, but I still find it soothing to play the game. Whoever then says the game is pointless and has no real life application or skills to teach you I bring my ace in the whole. Because of Diablo 2's aggressively small inventory and large drop rate of junk to be sold, I now have no problems with ordering any limited space filled with stuff, like a fridge, a suitcase, a car's trunk and so on. Inventory management, kids, it's good for you!

so that's how we're gonna roll, eh?The Amazing Tea Alligator said:A slightly more OT "your argument is invalid".
hairy muff, I mean, fair enough, just remember, with big power comes big ...
i totally did! but i was SO upset that my victory over that argument didn't go like i had it in my head; the opposite partner group coming up a lot of attacks against my case, columbine incident, blah blah blah, the whole video games have blood sex and guns ordeal. but instead, the two guys were these big old dumb football players from pontiac (and at my school that means black, but these two guys were just dumb) they gave me the absolute WORST case, THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY!!!!Tenkage said:
at one point they talked about video games being educational, that was something I was gonna say!!! i felt robbed of all the hard work and preparation i did to win that argument! luckily, my gov teacher is so kind and totally awesome enough to ask me all the questions they didn't, for the first time in my high school's history i boomed mr. MacLeod (proved him wrong in an argument) at the end of my sentence i said "boom" and then he said ".....did you just boom me? nice!"
so yeah, i really had it out with that project, definitely got an A+ because i did all the work beacause my partner, freind of mine, i was worried that he was gonna bring up something he wanted to say; "it happens, people can get addicted to video games, i'm addited" and i kept telling him over and over that by saying that it would ruin our entire argument. lastly, we had to get a 3rd partner b/c of the odd number of students in the class, and we got the foreign exchange student from china, we trusted him to write the 5 page essay and he ripped one page worth of wikipedia and 4 pages worth of pictures of halo and PS3's. was soooooo fucking mad, but my teacher took the essay off my grade b/c of the the exchange kid's language barrier.
Assassins creed 1/2 and Prototype
sure the missions are stupid and basically the same but at a end of a long day you just wanna jump from building to building and slaughter/assassinate people or monsters 83

Jet Set Radio Future. Orgasm for the ears and for the eyes. Simple to play and yet so damn brilliant.
