My favs are the same as Stabiz's, apart from no.4. I'd say Team Fortress 2 instead

Falkirion · 01-12-09, 09:24 PM

I can't pick my top 5. 5 in no particular order.
SH4, Red Alert 2, Jedi Outcast, X-wing Alliance and Call of Duty series.

1. Thief, the Dark Shadows - Best game ever bar none. Not any one thing that could be pinned down as why. Atmosphere, the audio, the sense of dread, the patience to complete your task. Of course I played on the hardest level where you were not allowed to kill anyone.

2. Falcon 4 AF - Bar none, the best Flight simulator. Now you know what it is to fly and fight in an F-16.

3. Daggerfall - Still the best out of all of the Arena series, and much more massive than Oblivion or Morrowind, and so much more you could do too. Not to say Oblivion or Morrowind are bad, quite the contrary, just not as good would be a better way to put it.

4. Operation Flashpoint - The hours sucked up by this game.... If I could only get them back...

Jaded me for FPS type games forever.

5. Starflight - Need I say more?

Dowly · 01-12-09, 10:24 PM

Not in any order and prolly cant remember half of games that should be on the list:

- Broken Sword 1 & 2
- Close Combat series
- IL2
- Day of Defeat for Half life 1 (this is the #1 on the list)
- Fahrenheit

CaptHawkeye · 01-12-09, 10:41 PM

Operation Flashpoint
IL-2 Sturmovik
Lock On
World in Conflict
Operation Flashpoint

Syxx_Killer · 01-12-09, 10:52 PM

5. Red Alert 3 (Still in its infancy but can become something great.)

4. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (with expansions) I loved Oblivion but Morrowind sucked me into the game a lot more.

3. Company of Heroes (An odd selection for me since I never really got into it. That doesn't mean it isn't great. I enjoy it a lot when I play it.)

2. Silent Hunter IV

1. John Deere American Farmer (haha Just kidding!

)

1. Red Alert 2 (with Yuri's Revenge expansion)

Curse you for mentioning Neverwinter Nights!

I reinstalled it this past weekend and was up past 4am last night running around docks with a Rogue and a Barbarian hunting for Blood Pirates.

NWN is indeed a lovely game. In many ways it's a kindred spirit to SH3 in that The NWN community is still going strong even when NWN2 is out. Plus the mods and the Community Expansion pack have made it outstanding.

Actually... I guess it is NWN2 that I'm playing now.

Allso fidling about with NWN2 atm.

Here are my games that ate up alot of my time and made the most profound impression on me. The type of games that after years you will still get an itch to replay them in a vain attempt to recaputure the initiate rush you felt when you started playing them.

1) Baldur's gate 1 & 2 and related expansions - CRPG are my favorite genre and this remains as my favorite series I have played.
2) Master's of orion - This was one of my first 4-X games I played. Even though the sequel had more cool things the original made more of an impression on me.
3) Wing Commander III - Heart of the Tiger. Too think that space combat sim genre is totally dead now.
4) Civilization II - My Second 4-X and this game was highly additive for me. I played III and Alpha centauri but those games didn't hold my interest as long as Civ II did.
5) World of warcraft - Hate to admit this one, but this was my first MMORPG and it literally stole about two years of my life. Most addictive game I have ever experienced. I think the action/reward model would have made Ivan Pavlov proud.

If it were a top 10 I would have put the following next.

6) Harpoon - I would sit for hours on end watching the time compression tick off waiting to find and destroy that last Kilo sub to achieve total victory. Yes, I'm quite aware I have no life.
7) Aces of the Deep/Silent hunter 1, III, and IV. Basically I have always loved submarines and these games all feed my virtual passion to sneak around searching for unsuspecting prey. These games all have the same great mechanics that keep me coming back for more.
8) The Total war series, great marriage of real time tactical and turn strategic combat.
9) Deus Ex - Sure it had simple AI FPS opponents, but the storyline, characters, and atmoshpere is what made this game rock.
10) Red Baron - The first flight sim that had a career.
