In this order:

1) Final Fantasy 7
2) Metal Gear Solid (All of them including crappy 8 bit original)
3) X3 + Expansions
4) SH3 + GWX
5) SimCity 3 (Rush Hour etc)

TBH, anything that takes along time to complete and has unique re-playability will make it to my list. These farking 8-10 hrs to complete games these days are naf and starting to P me off.

In no particular order:
Neverwinter Nights
Knights of the Old Republic
(I don't like what Obsidian did with those two franchises. NWN2 WAS better in alot of ways but I never finished it due to what I considered to be some rather ridiculous puzzles they threw into the game. KOTOR2 was obviously incomplete when it was released.).
Freelancer
Shogun:Total War
Combat Mission:Barborrosa to Berlin

Ack...posted two different lists...forgot I already done one...I'm old...mind is deteriorating rapidly...lmao

I'll have to put all my top 5 on the same spot, simply because they were the so different and yet, the best:

Tycoon Transport Deluxe: need I say more? :rock:
Flight Unlimited2: I have no clue how much I played that sim. San Francisco was like my virtual home. I knew every bit of that map and every dial on every plane. + You could land on 30m wide skyscrapers. And i DID. :smug:
Morrowind: Best story about gods, ever to be put into a game. Oh and the player was a god, so...:sunny:
Silent Hunter 3: In my current mod configuration, ofc. Simply for that thrill you get when the framerate drops and a convoy is close. You know ships will get sunk that day. You never know if you'll be among them. :arrgh!:
Final Fantasy 9: For being more japanese than Final Fantasy 7. And for showing how cute things can become serious and depressing. /%insert proper smiley here%/

This is not a fair list for us older gamers. We have all been exposed to 5 x to 10 x the games the younger gamers have. So we should get to pick 10. :O:

We are also jaded from this fact. This means our opinion should count more too since we can back it up with video game wisdom for playing everything under the sun!

-S

Sounds fair to me! :woot:

And FF7 now available on PSN, for just $15.00.

I know what I'll be doing this weekend.:D
The twists in the story were just fantastic.

MGS coming soon too, I believe.:yeah:

Hehe! I already had it on my PSP. *cough* MGS too.:D Currently replaying FF7, just left Midgar @ Lvl 30. LOL

These 2 titles will easily make up for the pap PS1 games they have re-released so far.

Are you guys down there getting Vidzone on Thursday? Looks to be an excellent free application with just over 4000 tunes for release day.

MGS should be June 18th.

Someone explain me what was so great about FF7?? I mean, it was great, but not THAT great. :hmmm:

Or maybe it was the Popeye type models that kinda drove me away from it after first playtrough... to FF8. :O:

Blasphemy!

Better question is what isn't great about FF7. :roll:

(geek alert)
With most games when a character dies, you just kinda go "serves you right", not what I thought when Sephiroth "dispatched" Aeris. Few games moved me as much as FF7. Still the best game ever, as far as I'm concerned. :yep:

Hehe, I kinda knew I'd get something like this as a response. :O:

PS. FF8 is better than FF7. End of story. :D

Don't make me climb in there and smack you.:stare:

Next you'll try to tell me that MGS1 was not the best MGS ever.

Edit - Nothing wrong with this for a PS1 game that's really old. (PS. My PSP is not CFW right?!?!)

FF7 is better because you're fighting Shinra; Sticking it to the man! :arrgh!:

Seriously though, FF7 was my introduction to the series. Wasted hundreds of hours on that game. Not a kid anymore and don't have that kind of time to waste anymore either, it will always hold that magical spot for me.

Gah, I wish I could run FF7 on this Vista comp properly...

1.) EA Sports NHL series (may not be my favorite per se, but has most hours played 1000x over).

2.) IL-2 (first and PB/AEP/PB etc etc to 1946)

3.) rFactor

4.) SHIII

5.) Rome: Total War

:D
