I played it for two years straight and couldn't get past that floating big headed thing and just traded it in. I'm playing Medal of Honor: Rising Sun instead.

My most loved video games to date:

• Super Mario Bros. 3
• Sonic the Hedgehog 2
• Sonic & Knuckles LOCK-ON with Sonic 3 (The first and ONLY game to have such a great feature. Amazing Nintendo hasn't done it with the Game Boy.)
• Final Fantasy VII - never finished it, but good none the less.
• Crash Bandicoot 1 & 2
• Armored Core
• Tetris
• The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - I have never seen so much life be put into a game, and despite the fact that a lot of my team mates bash the game, it is such a great game. All Zelda fans MUST play it before even bashing it.
• Metroid Prime - Just finished it, and I find it awesome that samus actually took off her helmet.

I've wasted more time with MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat back in the day than I would ever care to admit. It's just something about controlling an 85-ton bipedal robot and raining death with an alpha-strike of three particle-projection cannons (at 10fps with a 486/DX2! woot!) that satisfies the inner beast. The Marauder IIC was the best -- she was my baby.

As for worst, I don't anyone can say that he or she has played a geniunely bad game until they try one of those ultra-budget "value" titles that you often see piled up by the hundreds in giant baskets at some computer stores. Some are actually kind of good. Most are horrid. For my case, I bought Secret Service (And Some Other Inane Subtitle Here), published by Activision's Value line, a few months ago. I paid $4.88 plus tax for it. I overpaid by exactly $30.83¼ for that game. Bleh.

Lil' Lavery is correct in all respects except one and I'll take his word for Red Faction and the FF series, I don't have a PS2...or PS1. I just don't believe that Halo or Perfect Dark is that much of a stealth game...I like to be more blunt...or hollow-point I guess. A 90% minimum accuracy in PD can do that to you. My little bro owns the N64 though and he swicthed it for a Gamecube, so I don't get to play anymore *tear rolls down cheek*

Some of my favorite computer games though:
Age of Mythology
Chess for packard bell (Simple, difficult, not gawdy) (I ported it to my 'new', er, newer computer though, the packard bell only had 700 megs memory...)
Civilization III (its ok, not very customizable though)
Urban Assault (Not the commercailized version, a different game enclosed as freeware in microsoft game controller packages to test the joystick)
Alpha Centuri (program is done in notepad like UA...hmm...can we say mod?)
And Tetris...I still run that on an old Powerbook 180 (A floppy doubles its avalible memory ).

Steel Batallion for Xbox jsut has a cool controller though. Play it at a store but don't buy it. Its only a so-so game, but there's something about 3 foot pedals, 2 joysticks and close to 70 buttons including one for windshield wipers and ejecting that makes this mech game worth playing...

I never said that Halo or PD are stealth games, what I meant was that stealth games are slow pased and you cant go "rambo" in them, like you can in Halo, or PD. Metal Gear Solid 2, and Splinter Cell are stealth games. A moajority of RF isnt stealth either(especially considering your a demo expert in RF2).

[Yan Wang]

I absolutely hate Microsoft Hearts... you can't "Deal Again" like in Solitaire - you have to restart the program.

And on that note, Microsoft's Solitaire is awesome. It never ceases to amuse.

Most Loved--
Final Fantasy 6 (sold as FF3 for the SNES in America).
This is the single greatest game I've ever played. Great action. Great story. Great characters. Absolutely awesome. Better than any FF since (except FF9 came close). The music from this game sends tingles up my spine.

SW:KOTOR
I'm a hardcore, Star Wars nerd (seriously... it's sad). This game is everything I could have ever wanted from a SW RPG. Awesome. Playing it as a darkside character is more fun than I want to admit. More tingles.


Whoa...
2 RPGs. That's kinda weird.
I guess I enjoy a good story more than anything else.

John


Edit:
These are just 2 of many.
I've grown up as a gamer, and have a special place in my heart for quality time with "the nintendo". I won't try to list more, because I'd just leave more out.

It seems I stand corrected. Splinter Cell (for Xbox, love the graphics) and MGS2 are stealth games and they also rock.
I must edit my previous comments...

...Lil' Lavery is correct in all respects. end.

Yes, I remember the Nomad and the Virtual Boy. My friends had them, I was smart, I stayed away from them!

[Ryan Albright]

Loved: Counter-strike, Rollercoaster tycoon, Goldeneye (like said by Lil' Lavery, it changed the way games were played) I also like need for speed underground, Any madden football game, Nascar 2003, mario kart

I had a virtual boy i bought it for $30 bucks the best game was Warrioland (sp?) grr i need to find that i know it still works

[ElfMaster]

My favorite game of all time (so far) is Final Fantasty Tactics. I love the battle system in that game. Its one of the few RPGs that the random battles aren't horribly annoying. Silent Hill and Icco are close seconds. Icco was so pretty... SilentHill is one of the best scary games I've played. Of course System Shock II is up there.

Favorite Multiplayer Games: StarCraft, MarioKart, SmashBrothers. PerfectDark was excellent for a while.

Least Favorite: hm... The Sims. Its boring.

I had posted a while ago but forgot to put down my most loved video game. Well, the only one I ever played...I was about 7 and the only game I would play was Sonic on Sega, when that was the main video game system. I loved it because not only was it fun, but it was a time where my brother and I would stop fighting and just have fun together and play. *sigh* Good times.
