This is pretty much why I stopped playing computer games, when I finally accepted that I never play past 40% of most of them.

Black is fucking solid. I struggled incredibly badly with that game. The only level I really enjoyed was the sniper one where you can hide in the long grass.

Which brings me onto the next question: What are everybody's favourite games of all time?

I think we've had this before, but I would have to make like a top 5-ish for this...

Final Fantasy VII (Playstation)
Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
Goldeneye 007 (Nintendo 64)
Metal Gear Solid (PC)
Half Life 2 (PC)
Street Fighter 2: Turbo (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)
Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
Baldur's Gate 2 (PC)

My favourite game in the arcade (may not be that one in the pick but it look like that)

Apparently ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus are getting remade/remastered/rewhatevered next year. I guess I will have to get a PS3 afterall. =(

Indeed. ICO goes for a few pennies now. Incredible game.

Hmh, that's all I can think of at the moment, there's plenty more. That's not even me going fully retro.

What about Chrono Cross or Breath of Fire 4?

Chrono Cross was okay, but not as great as Chrono Trigger, same with BOF4.

And what about Final Fantasy VII, which is probably the best game ever made.

It was my first RPG but I don't think it's as great as everyone heralds it as. Mostly nostalgia goggles I think. It's not bad, and it's not mediocre either. But compared to the storytelling and general gameplay of the others I mentioned it's just not as good.

Plus Sephiroth is nothing compared to Kefka, who actually succeeded in destroying the world and building a crazy mad wizards tower to rule over it.



Mad Wizard Clowns > Leather Wearing Anime Dicks with overcompensating swords.

I'm sorry, did you say something has a better story line than FF7 Tom? You are clearly mad.

Yes. 4, 6 (7 is basically a recycled 6 anyway, even the gameplay), 8 and 9 all have better storylines. Plus Cloud is a horrible unlikeable protagonist, Barrett is a stereotypical black guy and Vincent is a gothfag.

The entire cast of 6 is better, It has a feral wolf boy, a noble samurai, a rogue ninja, a king who has a chainsaw, a goddamn yeti, Locke and loads more.

You clearly like talking bollocks.

No. I've played a lot of games, I devoted my childhood and most of my teenage life to them. 7 is good, but it's just not as good as the rest of the series.

8 & 9 are good but 7 is better, it has better side quests/games. I don't care about storylines and either skip through the story or go and make coffee to miss it.

I really really dislike underhanded tactics and skullduggery entering into the world of games development (One of the reasons I stopped my degree short because of this)

Read if you care about Activision Blizzard (Owners of World of Warcraft, Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk's and a host of other big brand names) and their CEO Bobby Kotick's plans that have gone ahead and how they treat their employees.

Beat RDR last night. The ending and the events leading up to it are brutal.

The best game ever is Deus Ex.

The perfect game would have the depth of Deus Ex and the breadth Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
