My all-time favorite game was Tachyon: the Fringe space combat game with open flying environments, good boss fights and Most importantly Bruce Campbell voicing the hero http://www.giantbomb.com/tachyon-the-fringe/61-16616/

Looks like an improved version of Tie Fighter. If that is the case I might very well want to try it. Tie Fighter is my favourite flight game, but mostly because I haven't tried any decent flight games. They are not exactly popular these days.

+1 for Tie Fighter, Starcraft, Quake (now on Android!)

I also loved X-wing, SMB, Zelda, Castlevania, Resident Evil

Thing that made 'em great was that they had replay-ability. You could beat the game and it would still be fun to go and play them again. And again.

I lost a whole year in uni due to Quake (bless you, Id software)

for space sims, nothing beats Colony Wars (1 and 2) on the ps1


branching mission paths depending on beating or failing certain missions, i think over 10 endings for each game. that's replayability for you.

Half-Life 2 is my favorite fps, the Gravity Gun is awesome and controlling an always replenished squad of ant-lions using them to clear rooms is too much fun. Only which the gravity gun worked on the mobs. For RTS, personal favorite was C&C- easy, clean interface, fun, replayable. Multiplayer FPS is easily COD:MW2 MMORPG WoW- Vanilla was great, Bc decent, wrath OK, Cata will be awesome.

Serious Sam and State of emergency get a honorable mentions for pure mindless carnage



I absolutely loved Half Life 2, I only played it because I bought the orange box pack with a bunch of games all in one. I was surprised, It was put together really well, I especially liked it when you were in dark tunnels and had to use a flashlight knowing around any corner there could be something scary.

Zelda Ocarina of Time (I never played but people say it's the best game they've played. Can anyone confirm this?)

And of course, Goldeneye. Goldeneye was awesome.

... has gotta be "prey", a fps about a native american sucked into space by aliens. wild graphics, solid story, and just plain trippy. check it out.


Did you have freeze ups where it crashes on the, "Ascent," level? I can't get past 2nd round of shooting the flying bad guys in the large room after entering the 2 small rooms in the rear. Awesome game ran smoothly until this.

I just got Fallout: New Vegas and I can say confidently that it's the greatest game ever. It makes Fallout 3 look like Pitfall.

I'm not even a big video game player, but I got it on Monday and have ignored everything else since then.

how does it make fallout 3 look like pitfall? seems like it's pretty much more of the same....the same being a lot of fun, though.
