I have no idea if this has already been posted - I scrolled through all of the pages and couldn't find one. Somebody please notify me if there is.

Having recently played and completed Halo 2 on legendary, I realised why I had enjoyed playing it before, and I also noticed different aspects I hadn't considered before. The campaign storyline was wonderful, and the layouts and landscapes were really very well-fitting and original and fitted the game incredibly well. I've also become a bit of a music/soundtrack critic in a way, but the soundtrack for the game was fantastic - it fitted with the surroundings very effectively, and the sounds and harmonies were beautiful.

So yeah. Post your fave game.

Metal Gear Solid.

PS.

I have a couple, and I don't feel like choosing, so here's a splat:

Starcraft, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Metal Gear Solid, Ico, Team Fortress 2, and Deus Ex.

Edit: And Tomba!

Oh my god... I almost made this topic yesterday, but I ran out of time ;______________;

Anyway...

I really like the old Battlezone games. The first one was sweet when it first came out, and the second one has some cool extra features. I'm also a fan of the Age of Empires series... I have every one, including expansions, and the Age of Mythologies game and expansion too... I like computer games.

EDIT: there are some nice Battlezone II screenshots here, for those who don't know what it is :P

I know for a fact that you like MGS and TF2. So I wonder what the bold meant! :)

Ico and ALTTP hold extra special places in my retro-gaming heart. I should mention Shadow Of the Colossus also, both Ico and that have an atmosphere that's so unique. The isolation and ominous foreboding they evoke is unlike anything I've ever experienced in a game.

Beautiful art, too.

http://nmaps.net/user/toasters · Postby **toasters** » 2010.03.24 (22:35)

Knights of the old Republic too! Can't believe I forgot KOTOR, love that game.

Postby **otters~1** » 2010.03.24 (22:55)

...N? Come on.

Others include TF2, Link's Awakening (<3), Shadow of the Colossus, which gets loads of love here at Metanet :D, the classic Pokemon (first two gens), first two versions of SSB, SW Battlefront, Portal, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask.

I've enjoyed to some extent nearly every Star Wars game ever made, and most of the Mario franchise. Zelda's my all-time fave, though.

http://www.nmaps.net/user/Yahoozy · Postby **yahoozy** » 2010.03.24 (23:02)

Possible order: Mother 3, Okami, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Team Fortress 2, Yoshi's Island, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

N![/cliche answer]

So yeah, I'm a pretty casual and relatively uncultured gamer. My faves are Pokemon Silver, Super Smash Bros. (any of the three), Mario Kart (64 and Double Dash!!), and Kirby (Nightmare in Dreamland, Amazing Mirror, Superstar, Avalanche). I own an NES, and enjoy a good round of Super Mario Bros. 3 or something every now and then, but yeah, I'm boring. What else is new?

http://nmaps.net/user/T3chno · Postby **T3chno** » 2010.03.24 (23:41)

Team Fortress 2
Ratchet & Clank (PS2 series)
Jak & Daxter (First 3)
Sly Cooper (PS2 series)
Kingdom Hearts
Pokemon Blue / Gold

EDIT: How could I forget Unreal Tournament?!?! (As well as UT2k4)

In no specific order: Fallout 3, Bioshock, CoD:WaW, Assassin's Creed 2, Civilization Revolution, Condemned: Criminal Origins(scary as hell)

FO3 is a great game. I'm re-installing it on my Steam as I type! :D

Fallout 3 and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory would have to be my top two favorites.
TF2 is also up there, as is Portal. And I just played through Assassin's Creed again (beat it maybe half an hour ago).
Deus Ex is pretty bitchin', but I wouldn't call it one of my favorites unless I see it remade using a modern engine. I'm a little bit too spoiled to enjoy a first-person shooter unless it meets a gradually rising standard of realism.

Man, I'm playing through Chaos Theory right now and if it holds up it'll be added to my list. Just completed the Penthouse level, game is awesome so far and has one of the best soundtracks I've heard in a long time.

Anyone have opinion on the sequels?

I really thought it held up through the end of the game. Obviously, you come across increasingly challenging areas, but escaping or doing well in a tense situation adds to the fun, if you ask me.
Although I will say that if you're trying to take the stealthy, 100% all the way through approach, Seoul will fuck you. Best just get through it in the most effective manner possible, even if it includes killing bitches, and then perfect your way of 100%-ing it later. I recommend going with the Assault loadout (the only level into which I wouldn't go with Stealth) and just using your sniper attachment on all of those pesky UAV's. Besides, frag grenades are always useful for dealing with tanks, and flashbangs can be lifesavers in the right circumstances.

Now that you've rekindled my interest in the game -- how do you prefer to take out Hugo Lacerda?

Which part?

If you mean the final bit, I believe I knocked out his guards with a Sticky Cam and lured him out with a whistle. I loved that level.

I thought as much. :(

The new one looks like it might be fun, but it's a completely different game. I just wish the online components of CT were more active, I remember having a blast with Pandora Tomorrow on my Xbox live account.

Yeah, I mean the actual task of killing Lacerda. For some reason, that's one part of the game I'm interested the most in hearing other people's approaches to.
See, I've always chilled out in the kitchen until he walked out and started getting drinks. Then I walked him all the way down the steps down the hall while I talked to him, and left his corpse in that musty, dark area at the bottom, where it seems no one ever goes. I left all of his guards alive and totally oblivious, since they weren't the target.
But every now and again when I replay that level, I like chucking in a flashbang, whipping around the corner, putting three into his heart, and vanishing before anyone gets their senses back. Simply tossing in a frag and wandering away is always fun, too.

Oh, shit, and I just remembered that I had two ambitious games saved before I did an OS reinstall. One was trying to 100% everything on Expert (in which I was successful up to the final fucking encounter in Seoul and got stuck), and another where I was committed to 100% knife kills on everything I saw (except tanks, of course, which simply got a frag... though the gunners were not an exception to the knifing).
Anyway, have fun with the game. And because I like talking, feel free to ask me for help if you get stuck or are curious about something, because I've played that game way too many times.

In no particular order...

NHL 94

Castlevania (NES)

Megaman 1, 2, X, X3

Super Mario World, SMB1-3, SSB, SSBM

Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening, Ocarina of Time.

http://nmaps.net/user/nevershine · Postby **nevershine** » 2010.03.25 (16:42)

Supreme Commander, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (always up for a game, I own with MK :) ), Classic Poké and some other stuff. Chaos Theory is also a great example. Oh, and I'm very impatient for Starcraft 2, part 1 was fantastic.

Postby **Pikman** » 2010.03.26 (23:00)

Pokemon HeartGold, Odin Sphere, Okami, both Golden Sun games on GBA, and Galaga '88 make up my top five.

Counting the Golden Sun saga as a single game, though. Hardware limitations ripped apart what could have been an amazing single-cartridge adventure.

http://nmaps.net/user/PALEMOON · Postby **PALEMOON** » 2010.03.27 (04:57)

N
BlazBlue
Guilty Gear
Final Fantasy 9

those are my top four. Yahoozy mentioned Mother 3 which is also fantastic <3
