ff7 is my second ever game but yes, HL is still better

<top 5

1: Half-life
2: Final Fantasy 7
3: Shenmue
4: Counter-Strike
5: Metal Gear Solid?

somewhere in there should be the original populous on master system :roll:

5) Half Life rocked my world, it was the first FPS game I'd played that actually had a good story line. Couple that with fantastic graphics and a excellent difficulty curve and you get Half Life. Still, IMHO, the best one-player FPS.

4) On the good old Amiga 500+, Dune II was genre defining. Build your tanks, roll them in, kill everything (as long as you chose Harkonnen). 'Nuff said.

3) Perhaps part of the reason I put Bloody Roar II (for the PSX) in my list is because I am 2001 British Champion at it :) However it's a top fighting game which makes Tekken look simplistic. A proper fighters game where winning actually took skill rather than random button mashing (60+ combo's can be done by entering each move in individually) and blocking was much more than holding 'Away'. Top, top game.

2) For top multi player fun, I have to cop out and say Counter Strike. It's simple, amazingly simple, you just do the same thing over and over again, but God, is it fun.

1) Very unoriginally, Final Fantasy VII is still my favourite game of all time. It was almost perfect in every way, and had so many hidden bits and sub games that it lasts forever. FF8 had better graphics and nine was nearly as good, but FF7 still remains, for me and many other people, the best game ever created.

Oh, and I think SSX Tricky on the PS2 deserves a mention for it's soundtrack.
TRICKY TRICKY TRICKY! =]

FF8 was rubbish, i bought it the day it came out £50 (around $80-$90) special edition, got all-sorts of stuff in the box, played it and hated it, FF has never been the same since 7

thank god for snes emulation (play 6 its awesome)

and btw, latest rumours are the original HL is being remade with state-of-the-art graphics

and HL2 currentlly looks like the greatest game ever made

and another genre defining game >> Command and Conquer, brought RTS to the masses, i s'pose you could argue warcraft 2 but that sucked in comparison, mind you i play lots of WC3

Er, Dune II was out before C&C, wasn't it?

yeah but DUNE 2 never got the commercial attention C&C did

True, but it was still a huge game, especially for Amiga people. And (IMHO) it was better than C&C, too.

Sydicate on the Amiga deserves a mention also, just for being great.

Quick aside: You've spelt 'business' wrong on the front page of the website in your sig.

C&C sucked ass
Dune II wasn t bad

Half-Life as a game was good.. BUT the real thing was CS (of course)
And i rented shenmue 2 (cuz i m an rpg fanatic :twisted: ) but guess what... first 15 min bored me to death but i juste payed 6$ for it.. i won't let go that easily..
Got me hoocked for bout 6 hours.. then.. (i had to go sleep to work) i came back and.. bah i lost track of what i did..and humm overall it wasn t very fun..
Now I always was a fan of FF series (but i don t own ps2 :/) and ff3 on snes was the best in my opinion ff7 was good looking when came out.. but the "fun" of it didn t equals half what ff3 gave me..
praise the old games..
(old game to praise also : Double dragons and Contra... did we ever get tired of theses games.. )

humm to continue :)

talking about games? 8O

the best FPS is SOF2, first one i ever played, i like real weapons, not made up ones.

i thought UT2004 would be cool, got a demo, it sucked...that was waste of time for me :/

MGS2....the best game ever, FF8 is 2nd, and i agree with with mark about shunmue on dreamcast, it was good, but DC sucks ass atm lol, the problem with shunmue is that is tooo long lol, by the time u get to half way, you forgot why you are there :P.

last game i brought was jet lee's rise to honour...nice game, but matrix (the game) has done it better.

waiting for MSG3..the snake eater now, dont know what it'll be out :/.

I can definitely see the "coolness" in the mod. It obviously took quite a bit of time and money to put together. But I doubt I could work with a case mod like that.
