5. S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl
Wow, this game was great; it was so simple but let you do pretty much anything you wanted to, anyone could be killed and you could shift around with factions doing mercenary work for whoever you wanted. The amount of side quests was staggering and allowed for hours of gameplay. The only thing missing was vehicles but with a mod that's easily fixed. The story was well thought out and the different endings were great.
4. The Hitman series:
#1 was a slight dissapointment gameplay wise, the story intrigued me though so I bought #2 and this was a massive leap from the first one; not perfect but still a half decent game. #3 didn't progress from #2 very much (compared to the jump from 1-2) but included a few neat little things that made the game much more enjoyable. Blood Money was again a huge leap from the 3rd and was a very good game.
3. Command & Conquer (while under Westwood)
Red Alert = great, Tiberian Sun= great, Renegade = not so great but still fun, Red Alert 2 = amazing, Tiberium Wars = not bad, Red Alert 3 = Epic Fail.
Red Alert 2 was my favourite game for years and Tiberian Sun had such a wow factor and was one of the best games back in its day. EA raped Red Alert and have ruined my 3rd favourite game series.
2. Knights of the Old Republic
This just revolutionized the RPG with the new karma system and the Auroura engine was just great and at first I thought it would be boring just telling your character to attack then just watching them do all the action; how wrong I was; There wasn't a moment of dullness after I had left Dantooine, the story was great, the combat system was great, all the NPC dialogue had been voiced and nearly all the party members were great (Mission, Zalbaar, T3 = fail)
1.Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
I looovveeee(d) this game, it was free, there were many mods for variety, there were so many maps and always new ones coming out (as the majority were player made) playing with clan mates was fun and guaranteed it would always be fun; there would be plenty of laughs and there was never a dull moment. It will take a very amazing game to knock this off the top spot. 5 years of good games, so many funny moments and new friends I got out of this game, and all for free. Unfortunatly as its an internet multiplayer game it died as they all eventually do; the clan that used to have 100+ members is now down to about 10, it all went down hill after the clan leader decided he wanted to get a life xD
Honourable mentions:
Company of Heroes
Empire Earth (this very nearly replaced Stalker, I played this game for a few years before it finally became too old and EE 2 was pathetic)
CoD series (which they are now bashing too death, CoD 5 was poor...)
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (This was epic, don't deny it)
Biggest dissapointments:
Red Alert 3 of course, WTF were they thinking? Firing bears out of cannons is seen in a circus not in a war.
Soul Reaver 2, wow they screwed up Soul Reaver didn't they? They threw away the barren wasteland, the zombies, the vampires, the great story and the "OMFG let's kill Kain for attempting to kill me" and threw in some time travelling crap and Kain is suddenly a friend and some rubbish about Raziel killing himself to be absorbed into a sword to bring it into uber power mode to kill a giant squid that was originally your ally?
Sonic series, way to screw up sonic; he went to being the coolest video game character to being a joke when they introduced all these new sucky characters, Big the Cat who has a pet frog (called Froggy of course), some pink hedgehog that wants to rape Sonic and one for the emos, a black and red version of Sonic called Shadow. Now Robotnik is called 'Eggman' and Sonic lives on earth amongst humans and originally came from space or some rubbish like that.
Metal Gear Solid: *sobs* Metal Gear Solid on the PS was incredible, MGS 2 good but not as good; by MGS 3 I'm thinking their starting to ruin it a bit. Now I havn't played MGS4 and I'm scared too, it could kill my love for MGS entirely I would rather just remember it as the jewel that was MGS1 and never play #4.
And recent dissapointments: Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Spore and Stalker Clear Sky.
Most anticipated:
Final Fantasy XIII, thank god their going back to their roots; no crummy MMORPG or introducing Disney characters. This should be the best Final Fantasy since #7. I pray that they pull it off and I will be the happiest gamer ever.
Most overrated: Halo, Kindgom hearts, the Wii and any game on the Wii, Zelda, Mario, GTA, Gears of War and WoW. Dear god, how anybody can like some of those games in that list is beyond me, I won't say speifically which ones but I will say that I like Halo; I just don't love it and I do think it's overrated.
