Topic: Best games ev0r

Strategy TB:
Strategy RTS:

FPS(also including third person and top down):

Role playing game:

Simulator:


I could make subcategories till there is no tomorrow but there would not be any overview then. So I wish we can hold it at this unless I am forgetting something. And just because there is a new fps doesnt mean it is the best one around

mine:

Strategy TB: Rome total war realism mod
Strategy RTS: Age of empires 2, World in conflict coming in second.

FPS(also including third person and top down): COD4

Role playing game: none

Simulator: Sim city rush hour(yep i'm taking sims really broad here tongue)

Not many people know this, but I own the first radio in Springfield. Not much on the air then, just Edison reciting the alphabet over and over. "A" he'd say; then "B." "C" would usually follow...

Re: Best games ev0r

I would have medieval 2 with tb strategy but i'm much more facinated with ancient times and 18 century. so thats where it scores point with me even tho medival has much better fight scenes tongue.

Re: Best games ev0r

Well, between M:TW and MII:TW, I would chose the original... for its originality.  MII:TW is different to the original, but not enough to justify chosing it over the one that spawned the franchise - anyone can write a sequel, but not everyone has that initial idea that is good enough to lead to (an equally good) sequel.

Re: Best games ev0r

I'm way off topic here; but me and my bro just got done playing AoE II.  Greatest computer game I own, still.  Simple, but still complicated enough to make it fun.

Re: Best games ev0r

Strategy TB: IC?
Strategy RTS: Red Alert (The original), followed closely by Dune2 (its a bitch to play though).
FPS(also including third person and top down): Tribes, Counter Strike: Source

Role playing game: none (Maybe Runescape? Though i didn't play that much. Just killed cows and cook things...lol). Also does the original space quest count?

Simulator: SimTower

Oh and this is going by the amount of time i've actually played the game and still enjoyed it.

How about other genres? Like point-and-click adventure games? yikes. That would be a tough one - a toss up between the various Quest series, Sam and Max: Hit the road, and Day of the tentacle. And then what about puzzle games? or card/board games...

Re: Best games ev0r

Same here too actually. Thats what makes a game good.

i believe adventure games could fall under roleplay, its a pretty general term.

Re: Best games ev0r

Red Alert 2/3 are both pretty good too, but they just aren't the same as the originals...which were...original!

Same with most types of games these days.
