10 FAVORITE GAMES OF ALL TIME (in no particular order)
-
Goldeneye
by Rare — Nintendo 64
-
Widely regarded as one of the best games for the N64, this first person shooter
combined excellent controls, weapons, graphics, sound, and music, into one of
the finest multiplayer and single-player games before or since. This is what
got me into first-person shooters, so I might be a bit biased, but everything
was executed almost without flaw.
-
Command and Conquer (Series)
by Westwood Studios — PC
-
An excellent story line, excellent characters, and excellent weaponry makes
this one of my favorite Real-Time Strategy games; it's a pity EA killed
Westwood. Even if the controls aren't as well done as with Blizzard games, I've
always preferred the C&C series. Again, possibly colored by it being what
got me into RTSs.
-
Need for Speed
2 - Underground by
EA Games — PC
-
Cheaply experience the fun of street racing without any of those annoying side
effects, like arrest and death.
-
Unreal Tournament by
Epic — PC
-
This was my first PC FPS; its frenetic gameplay and nifty weapons make this a
challenging game to master.
-
Star Wars Rebellion
by LucasArts — PC
-
A thoroughly underappreciated game, perhaps because of its very steep learning
curve, Rebellion put you in control of the Alliance or Empire in order to
eradicate the other. Controlling your fleet to battle fleets of enemy ships is
always enjoyable.
-
Half Life/2 by
Valve — PC
-
Half-Life 1: Revolutionary; gripping story, decent graphics for its time.
-
Half-Life 2: Amazing graphics, solid gameplay, even if the story was subpar.
-
Counter-Strike by
Valve — PC
-
Your basic multiplayer FPS but without the ability to play Rambo. Not nearly as
intricate as Tom Clancy type games though.
-
Max Payne by
Remedy Entertainment — PC
-
The Matrix meets first-person shooters.
-
Hitman: Codename 47 by
IO Interactive — PC
-
An almost thoroughly open-ended game; you can eliminate your target by
attempting to assault his stronghold, or you can do it all stealth-like.
Sprawling missions, but unfortunately no way to save in the middle of them.
This game required real skill and patience to complete, you couldn't just
quick-load until you beat a certain part—you die, you start the (often
enormous) level all over again.
-
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
by Splash Damage — PC
-
A more arcade-like Counter-Strike, and without the rampant cheating. Besides,
you could be a covert ops and take your enemy's uniform, then sneak up on and
kill the enemy team.
