No PS2 or PS3?
I'm gonna buy the HD version soon; either with Ico or just by itself from PSN.

Like I've said a million times before, MicroProse. They made many of the greatest games of all time.
Pirates!
Civilization
Sword of the Samurai
Gunship
F-19 Stealth Fighter
F-15 Strike Eagle
Masters of Orion ][
Leisure Suit Larry 7 Love for Sail - man what an awesome game. Too bad Sierra fired Al Lowe.
Then I loved the Sim City games. I wish they would do another Sim Copter, best non-combat Flight Sim.
Baldur's Gate - easily the best D&D game ever. But the SSI Gold and Silver Box games were amazing for the time.
Then I got into Everquest then World of Warcraft
I've been playing the dog crap out of Skyrim since November.

Mostly because of the memories I have playing it allllll day, every day.

Don't leave us in suspense man, which version!?
The one with the sweet-ass graphics.
Aw shit, I might have to change mine to the greatest fighting game of all time..
BLADES OF STEEL
This is a hard question to answer...
I adore the Half-Life series, but my favorite of the bunch would probably be Half-Life 2. With Episode 2 a close second. And Opposing Force a close third.
I played and modded the hell out of Fallout 3 and I still fire it up every now and then.
Bioware's last great creations, Mass Effect 1 and 2, and Dragon Age: Origins are also high on my list. I've been playing the hell out of Mass Effect 2 lately, picked up the DLC and loved them.
Going further back, I have very fond memories of Might and Magic: World of Xeen and Quest for Glory 2: Trial by Fire, though I'll admit these memories might be tinged with nostalgia.
Finally, I really love Final Fantasy 8. *prepares his tar and feather resistant outfit*

Grand strategy games are my favorite genre, and Hearts of Iron II was, in my opinion, a jewel of the kind. As such games tend to be quite complex, making one that actually works passably without abstracting things too much can be difficult, but I think they did a fine job. It had it's flaws, but nothing so glaring as to threaten suspension of disbelief.
I haven't tried the third game of the HoI series, but I might pick it up and give it a go.

Playing sports in a world that hates and fears them! Dododododoooooooooododo.Dododododoooooooooooooooooododo.DOO-DOON!Not gonna lie, I played the shit out of both those games... however they're inferior to.....
and
Galaga. A simple arcade game that has captured my heart since the first time I've played it on the Cape May pier.
Raven, I see you disagree with my assessment that Superman 64 is the best and every other game by comparison is some sort of cesspool that is also on fire and smells bad.
Consider how true the game is to Superman's abilities. I have no doubt that if Lex Luthor were to set up a bunch of rings throughout Metropolis, Superman would easily be able to fly through all of them in less than two minutes.
Also, you get to relive some of Superman's greatest moments from the comic book. Like when he picks up an emblem that blends into the environment which allows him to use his ice breath for a limited amount of time. Then he uses his ice breath to stop tornadoes that have appeared inside a reservoir and are heading towards pedestrians who are walking around the reservoir.

Guys, I forgot.
And the best drinking game of all time:
And the best drinking game of all time:
Why Base Wars?
Fighting Robots playing baseball. But mostly a lot of time spent at my grandparents house playing it on an old Nintendo they had lying around. It was easy enough to pick up, fun to play, and combined a pretty good management system with fighting robots in baseball! How could you go wrong?
Why Link to the Past?
Aside from the gameplay and graphics which were the pinnacle of SNES development, it had the right difficulty level, the music was fantastic and introduced me to the whole Zelda franchise.
Why Civilization 2?
The best and longest played game in the Civ series, it set the ground work for what subsequent sequels could only emulate. It was the perfect balance of complexity and control.
Why Smash Bros Brawl?
The only game I've actually turned the Wii on to play for the past year or so.

Super Smash Bros orginal. The other two are still great games, but this one holds the cake. It took the idea of the crossover fighting game and made one of the most original fighting games out there.
Donkey Kong 64: Fun multiplayer, fun single player, all around fun! Also the DK rap, that's my shit.

Mario and Luigi Super Star saga. How many rpgs have you played that use button combos? Also subsequently, Paper Mario. The sequels are all-right, but not the same.
All of the mario rpg games are awesome, fun little titles that combine fun actiony elements to it.
Indeed. While Inside Bowser's story was good, I did have some....aesthetic problems. Mostly because the bros moves might as well have been bros items. Don't get me wrong, the game was still good but it still felt weird.

I bought the original Legend of Zelda at least 6 times over the years. So...that.
Luigi's Mansion is one of my favorites too. Probably the best Ghostbusters game ever made.
Mario Paint.
I can't remember exactly why I loved it so much, I just remember spending countless days clicking that shooting star on the title screen... swatting those flies dead on that one game.. Trying to make a song worth listening to and ALWAYS failing.
And especially coloring in Yoshi. Jesus, I can't tell you how many times I colored in that damned Yoshi picture.. And I have no idea why I loved every second of it! Just appealed to my artistic side I suppose.
It angers me that it's nearly impossible to find the mouse for that game without spending more than I would ever want to on such an item..

<--- My Dog's name is Yoshi.
I'm a sucker for Nintendo stuff apparently...somewhere in my house I have a game boy camera (and printer!), a gameboy player attached to my GameCube, an e-reader, and a virtual boy.
I need an anti-fry "stop taking my money!" picture.

I've got the goddamned magnifier for my gameboy still.. why the hell did I even buy that thing?? I've got the e-reader too, solely for Animal Crossing... I get around nintendo stuff and logic goes out the fucking window, I just start thinking with my dick man, I tell ya what.

I Installed an afterburner into an orange Gameboy Advance that I imported from Japan.

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. I got the DX version of this on Christmas Day. The day after Christmas I picked up the newly released Ocarina of Time, when letting my brother play OoT I was busy playing Link's Awakening on my GBC. It seemed like only Nintendo could make gameboy games packed with enough content to hold their own against a console title.
Star Control 2.
Why? Because it's the best game ever made.
Actual reason: When I was a young man a friend of mine had a PC his brother was letting him use. On this PC was this magical game called Star Control 2. Me and him played the ever loving shit out this game for an entire weekend, me staying over 2 nights in a row at his house. Then his brother took back his PC and moved away. Later I learned that there was going to be an improved version on this weird new console called the 3DO. This 3DO was going to cost a billion dollars so again I thought I would never get to play it. Well, a local comic book store had one for a while and eventually they were looking to sell it. My mom bought it for me for my birthday (I was maybe 12 or 13). With it came Star Control 2, Wing Commander 3, Off World Interceptor, Road Rash, Return Fire, Samurai Showdown, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and a host of other games. Star Control 2 was still the best game and this time it had voice.
It's still available for free online as Ur-Quan Masters. Freeware that lets you customize the music, add in the voice work and other things. It's still the best game ever made.

I met Robert Woodhead recently and will probably interact with him more in the near future. His a HUGE EvE nerd and is very involved with the meta game of it (as am I.)
