Mine personally has got too be resident evil.
got hooked on them as a child when i played resident evil 1 and went into the first room on the right in the main lobby. the dogs that came flying through the window scared the shit out of me..

Probablu Ocarina of Time back on the N64, although i have got back into Diablo 2 recently since the announcement of the new game and ive remembered how awesome it is, even if the graphics are now laughable you have so much fun i hardly even notice.

Currently - COD:4, standard.

All time, too hard to say!

RE has got me hooked too.... Currently I'm stuck on Heatseeker for Wii and loving it (cheesey cut scenes though) But the game itself will bump your heart rate up a notch or two...

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, best FPS out on the PC atm.

Depends. Multiplayer with mates either super mario kart or super bomberman on the SNES. Multiplayer online probably the unreal tournament series. Single player turn based strategy the civilization series (NOT including the atrocious call to power ones). Real time strategy the Dawn of War series. single player console Resident Evil 4 on the gamecube (though the rest of the resident evil series, except perhaps Code Veronica on the Dreamcast, is shite).

If I had to pick one it would be a toss up between Super Mario Kart and Resident Evil 4 (RE4 is perhaps the most perfect single player game ever made, but Super Mario Kart is perhaps the most perfect multiplayer game ever made).

Actually i think RE 4 goes a little too far from the original story line of the RE games.. this makes me a bit sad but i hope they will redem themselves in RE 5

RE 4 is that the one with the presidents daughter?

Yea it is.

Not really arsed about the storyline, I just think it's a belting good game. The mechanics are superb, the pace is just right, the couple of interactive cutscenes (the knife fight with Krauser etc) are perfectly executed, the replayability is incredible (what with Operation Ada and the Mercenaries mini games). All told it's a blindingly good game. Which is very surprising given that you can't say any of the above for the previous RE games. They are completely unoriginal (the whole idea, down to the fixed camera angle third person perspective and the inventory system is stolen from the Alone In The Dark series), the gameplay is slow and tedious broken up by the occasional bit of frantic button bashing as you get cornered by a horde of enemies, the camera angle sucks warm shit through a straw (with most deaths coming when you get attacked by some enemy you can't see or get trapped in a corner). But hey, the story is passable Code Veronica is the best of the pre RE4 series, and that's only because the story & cutscenes flatter the otherwise dismal gameplay.


Edited to add as you can tell, I'm not a Resident Evil fan. Which is why I was so impressed with RE4.

I'm in the middle of that one right now It's pretty good, just got to the castle.... but then I got into Heatseeker and bam I'm stuck on it til I finish it...


I'd give RE4 a thumbs up vs the umbrealla chronicles... I think the latter is just not my flavor of game though action strategy through target shooting

i dont disagree with you in the gameplay bit it's a good game no doubt.. otherwise i wouldnt have completet it 4 times.. i was a bit disappointet though when there where no prices for completing it fast or without getting killed or stuff like that. like in the previous games where rewards could be found like the extra set of clothes for leon in RE 2 if you picked up no ammo until the police station then the zombie in the small passage through the park would have a key to a locker with the extra clothes

In context to the machines and their eras, my favourites would be:

Last Ninja 1&2 and Barbarian 1&2 on the Commodore 64

Speedball 2 and Dungeon Master/Chaos Strikes Back on the Amiga

Alien vs Predator on the Atari Jaguar

Doom and Final Doom on the Playstation

And on the PC (my current games platform): Dawn of War, Aliens vs Predator 2 and Commandos (the first one).

Unfortunately I broke the play cd of AvP2 taking it out of the case and my pc is too fast to run Commandos properly, even after slowing the cpu down.

Ah well, fond memories of many happy hours gaming.

Sorry podgy i felt the same.. but dont go sad now.. there are still serveral goodies at the end.. i still pays too complete the game. also gives you another char to play with.. and another story line. but i will leave you too figure out what this is

There's certain completion bonuses (on the Gamcube at least. The Greystation version is shite compared the the GC version, poorer graphics, lesser gameplay & not as many features). Once you complete it on normal you unlock hard difficulty (if I recall correctly, been a while since I played it), the Operation Ada & Mercenaries mini games, alternative clothes for your character. Then when you complete Operation Ada and get maximum stars on all 4 Mercenaries games you unlock the hand cannon & chicago typewriter in the main game (buy from weapons guy, hand cannon is pretty much one shot kill, chicago typewriter is a tomy gun with unlimited ammo)

Yea but in the others you would find bonuses for completing the game in a certain time or doing/not doing specific things throughout the game. that aint the case in RE 4. or atleast not to my knowledge so far. didnt know about the hand cannon either i must admit... but why use it when you have that big ass handgun that resempels a Desert eagle.. it kills everything easy... perfect for bosses

ive got a few, mario 64 on N64, goldeneye, football manger series, cod 4 and crysis

haha past times n machines nettle grower

mario cart, the original 'i think' on super nintendo

hours and hours of fun. top game

multi player - mario kart and pro evo (8 player pro evo cant be beaten for crazy fun)

I did like the resident evil 4 I think if its the one they remade for the wii I played it on wii and loved it not my favourite though (too scary )

I loved mario for the n64 think it was just called mario 64 (infact most marios were good in their day)

could do with a new game to get into actually seems growing weed is my new computer game and its much more productive


eta: nice one quickybricky goldeneye was a classic multiplayer too

My fave pc game is settlers, the 64 it has to be Golden eye, Ps3 so far is Call of Duty 4

Elite – c64
starglider – amiga
freelancer – pc

ufo enemy unknown – ps1
metal gear solid 4 -ps3

cod4, quake wars, battlefield 2 and cs on pc (multiplayer)

list goes on but basically these titles spring to mind..

For me, nothing has bettered the GTA serious, for the diversity it offered in a single game and how much ground it broke, it kept me and many friends amused for thousands of hours ovber the years, i used to play pretty much every game that came out but tbh ive not really enjoyed anything for a few years now, they really bore me as im getting old(im 28 ) had a 360 sat under my telly for over a year now and i can count the amount of times ive used it on one hand.

Top shout by Boojum Mario Kart and Bomberman would defo make my top 5, along with maybe Pro Evo and Chukky Egg.

I have to play multiplayer games, I can't play single player, dunno why - Just hate them... mainly because AI is to easy for my 1337 skillzorz

Mario Kart 64 (on all consoles, they're just so much fun!) Golden Eye on the N64. Counter Strike, Starcraft, Warcraft III (all games made by Blizzard basically) Command & Conquer red alert. Battlefield 2142

well I'msort of a noob when it comes to games. Have played Halo 1 & 2, have doom 3 on me Mac and played pong in bars as a kid (and later at home).

RE 4 sounds good tho! I just may have to get the 360 (although I hate microsoft). I really want to play Halo 3! I hope RE4 is on that platform.

I also want to get playstation 3 since it also has a bluray player.

Here's a blast from the past that I thought was a belting good game, both in terms of gameplay and in terms of the whole look/feel of the game (in fact I think in terms of the design/look/feel/style of the game few have come close) - Jet Set Radio on the Dreamcast. I'd love to see a new gen version of that on one of the latest consoles. Powerstone & Powerstone2 on the DC were blinding multiplayer games too. It was a much maligned console but it had some damn fine games.

Wise move randal, xbox360 is half way through its life cycle although the ps3 is only just opening up to games programers also.. the bluray player on the ps3 is a win for sure..

yea, I hate the idea of buying the 360 for one lousy game but i have so much fun with halo. Getting baked and driving a warthog is soooooo much fun!

If you're considering buying a PS3 just bear in mind it uses a STUPID amount of electricity. It'll probably cost you more to play on your PS3 than it costs you to run your entire grow room. And your central heating.

so if the leccy people come around I'll just show them my (empty) PS3.

oldboy, freelancer was great, loved it.





my fav would be counterstrike closely followed by half life 1 deathmatch... the fastest fps game ever.. very skillful too, real seat of your pants gaming... check a few youtube vids!

I'm relieved when I turn it off to hear the sweet low volume of two 8 inch fans and 4 desktop ones blowing quietly in comparison, the word Boeing springs to mind.

Still, I guess the one bonus the PS3 has over the Xbox360 is that at least the PS3 doesn't get so hot that it melts the solder on the board so that the graphics chip falls off

My fav pc games are broken sword 2, commandos series and the worms games.

N64 - Goldeneye all the way!

Playstation has to be metal gear solid 2

360 - GTA 4 is probably the game i wanted to play for the longest and it didnt dissapoint. Other favs are condemned 1 and 2, ghost recon's and gears of war.

Aint gonna bother with GTA, well bored of those games.

I thought that Assasins Creed was bastard boring, Kane & Lynch L O L one of the worst games ever , Medal Of Honour : Airbourne was ok but plays like a bag of shit compared to COD 4, Pro Evo was utterly crap.

They're the only games I've played so far, gonna check out Metal Gear Solid soon, wanna get an NHL game coz I like 'em (even though I've never watched a game of Ice Hockey in me life) the mega drive ones where shit 'ot.

I quite like snooker/pool games aswell.

My PS2 became a DVD player after about a year of playing it - mainly using my PS3 to transfer films onto, saves burning them onto discs, very handy.

Not much of a gamer but i did play the X games space sims by Egosoft only they removed the cockpits from ships which kinda spoiled the fun so i don't play anymore.

If your a looking for a break from FPS they are worth checking out.

I see a lot of peps mention the GTA 4 game.. I was expecting a lot from this game but too be honest i was SO bored with it.. played it for about 5 hours and then i felt everything that could be done had been done. i personally think that GTA 4 was a GIANT leap back from GTA san andreas. in terms of stuff you could do to make the game last longer than just the original story line. Haircut, body, clothing, gangs and so on.. you cant even fly a plane ffs... but that is just my appinion...

Definitely have more brain cells to spare than me!

i was wondering who would be the first to mention a boardgame... now i got the answer but still...

Hey all

My assessment of the greystation3 & xbox 398572 (hey, it makes as much sense as 360) so far is..... Nice graphics, WHERE'S THE FUCKING GAMEPLAY ?
