    Favourite games?
    Hi All,


    Bit of a pointless thread, but I thought it could get interesting

    I was just wondering what everyone game(s) of ALL TIME is/are and why?


    Sooooo I'll start with mine:


    Metal Gear Solid/Metal Gear Solid 2 - I have never ever played a game with better storyline, and it's just EPIC! It was so ahead of its time, and I don't think many games can be compared to it. Awesome deep plot, great characters, what more could you ask!



    ( sorry if you think the thread is lame :/ )

    Hm, that's a difficult one.

    I guess I'd have to give it to Mass Effect 2. Amazing dynamic storyline, likable and fleshed out characters.

    With Crash Team Racing, BF2, and Half Life 2 coming in close seconds.

    Chrono Trigger, The Adventures of Alundra or Final Fantasy VI. I've lost count of the amount of hours I spent playing those games as a kid. Loved the gameplay and storylines in them.

    Pokemon. Urgh, even to this very day I'm still training and working my way up to be a pokemon master.

    Will probably stop when I hit 20.

    (Though I did say I would stop at 18.. lie.)

    Metroid Prime Trilogy Edition. If that's considered cheating as it is three games, specifically, the New Play Control edition of Metroid Prime.



    Metroid Prime is without a doubt the most graphically impressive game of the 6th generation. Nothing comes close to Retro Studio's fantastic art design - it's stunningly beautiful. The designs are fantastic and compelling. The music is some of the greatest of any game of all time. The Phendrana Drifts theme should be a compulsory entry on any list of Greatest Game Music, as should Magmoor Caverns. So atmospheric! The gameplay in the remastered version is buttery smooth. It easily has the best controls of any First Person Shooter to date; the level of accuracy and speed with which you can aim, and the freedom of movement Samus possesses makes everything else feel unbearably slow. The game isn't bogged down with unnecessary exposition and plot; it's pure and simple exploration and gunplay. There's not a single missed note; Metroid Prime is just in a godly tier of its own.

    What about Metroid Other M, that's amazing, the graphics are so good. But it is the only metroid I've actually played

    Fifa 2003, included the dive button

    Crash Bash (best PS1 game ever)

    Ratchet and Clank 1 - great storyline, characters and some of Clanks missions were epic, some missions scary too
    Fallout 3 (loved the storyline, characters excellent)
    Assassins Creed 2 (loved Ezio)
    Uncharted 2 (sad endind)
    Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego (LOL)
    The Sims?

    Forgot Heavy Rain! Love storyline based games and detective games, probably my favourite if I was to pick one

    Excuse the unequal pic sizes. Just the ones I snatched off Google Images. But yes I'm a huge fan of the Metal Gear franchise (I agree with the OP about the storyline), it's my favourite franchise out there, I'm looking forward to Metal Gear Rising Revengence and whatever the new MGS5 is going to be (it's going to be announced pretty soon). Been waiting for years. lol.

    But besides that I love the GTA series, not so much GTA IV too little to do compared to San Andreas, but GTA V is hopefully gonna be good since they're setting it in the San Andreas again. The rest are N64 classics, N64 was the console in my childhood days.

    Besides MGRR, MGS5, and GTA V I'm looking forward to the Tomb Raider reboot and The Last of Us.

    Other M is very good, but it's probably actually the "worst" Metroid, not that any Metroid game is bad.
