-GoldenEye
-Banjo Kazooie (hehehe)

The Bad:
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Donkey Kong 64 (why would I want to play a game for 80 hours?)

I think Half-Life is the best game ever made. If you just think of the number of mods available for it... And the original game was fun too.

Best Game EVER! Tribes 2, soon to be topped by Tribes: Vengence in the fall. Also, Virtua Tennis for the dreamcast. And JOUST!

Worst Game EVER! CS is bad cause it's so old, and people won't drop it. I also don't like RPGs, any of them really. Way too much storyline and very slow.

There's a reason why everyone still plays it, ya know! Counterstrike rocks!

Way too much storyline, and very slow? Ever played a FF game? Not slow at all. I can also tell you dont like Tolkein books, and you went straight to the movies, due to they are too slow, and are full of plot. You also prolly dont like stealth game either, because you cant go "rambo" on them....

[ZACH P.]

Games I like- PoP series (especially The Sands of Time), Half-Life, Doom(never gets old), Knights of the Old Republic(totally awesome), and Tron 2.0 (if you liked the movie, or even hated the movie, you'll love the game).

I don't play many games i dont like, but some that come to mind are the Sims series (why not just go do something physically instead of pretending to?) also gunbound.

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...

[Lil' Lavery]

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).

Fun games:
SimIsle, Roller Coaster Tycoon (1 & 2), Transport Tycoon Deluxe, SimFarm, Aerobiz, Total Annihilation, Halo, Perfect Dark, 007: Agent Under Fire, 007: Nightfire, GoldenEye, No Limits Roller Coaster Simulator, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, Twisted Metal series, Crimson Skies, Power Stone, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, DDR, Donkey Kong 64

Not-so-fun games that I have played:
Baldur's Gate, Black and White, Star Wars, Super Mario Bros. 2, Simcopter, Streets of Simcity, Caesar II, more.

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.
