My top 5 games of all time

, ,

So many to choose from, but these might be my top 5 games of all time:

  1. World of Warcraft (original, a.k.a "Vanilla" - pre-TBC)

    Best game I've ever played.

  2. Half-Life (series incl. Portal)

    Best story line ever.

  3. Diablo II (with expansion)

    Hack 'n slash!

  4. Monkey Island (series)

    Pirates. 'Nuff said.

  5. Skate (series)

    I can spend hours tweaking tricks.

What are your top 5 games?

What I love about Opera UniteWTF

2,3,4, agreed. 1,5, never played.

Team Fortress 2 would score pretty high on this kind of list for myself, and the Command & Conquer series.

lutherjw 17. June 2009, 22:43

So wrong. All of them. :D

Super Metroid for the win.

SouthernCross 17. June 2009, 22:50

Final Fantasy VII Series - Awesome storyline.

Final Fantaxy XII - Awesome battle system, awesome storyline, amazing graphics.

Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones - Amazing Pixel Art, good battle system, playable for years. P:

Grand Theft Auto 4 - Amazing graphics, laid back fun, endless things of what you can do. P:

Anima: Beyond Fantasy - Hey. Pen and paper games are awesome too. :D

ellinidata 17. June 2009, 22:52

SouthernCross 17. June 2009, 22:59

I forgot to mention Prince Of Persia and Call Of Duty 4. But that would be more than five. P:

Hahaha, I've played that too!!

I've used up to 1GB of RAM! And Opera was still alive!!

SouthernCross 18. June 2009, 01:31

My friends and I did it on our schools clients (super "thin" netbooks with a 4GB RAM server :faint:). It was still browse-a-ble after around 1,000 tabs. P:

samfresco 18. June 2009, 01:56

It is also fun to hold "Ctrl + t" and wait until the tab bar looks only as a single bar. Then, press "Ctrl + Alt + w" (I still use 9.2 keyboard) and watch how the all dissapear!!

Chas4 18. June 2009, 02:33

SouthernCross I think 1,000 tabs proves that Opera is stable

SouthernCross 18. June 2009, 02:36

Agreed! Especially on a low-end client with a low-end server. :smile:

qlue 18. June 2009, 03:31

So it's unanimous then, the best game ever is, (drum roll please)
"how many tabs can I open in the Opera Browser!"
*applause, applause*

Heck yeah! Super Mario RPG has been given too little attention.

I'll try to come up with a list later today. I have to go to work, crossing scorching deserts and blistering blizzards... Or rain, as it's commonly called.

EspenAO 18. June 2009, 06:51

There are so many games I want on that list, e.g.:

The Digg
Full Throttle
Day of the Tentacle
Sam & Max
Alex Kidd
Super Mario Bros. 3
Max Payne 2
Starcraft
Warcraft II + III
Duke Nukem 3D
Doom

And we can go on for ever and ever. But I still think my list on top contain my top 5 games of all time. :smile:

I'm not surprised at all by the Nintendo love in here. :wink:

Amnith 18. June 2009, 07:00

!SPOILERALERT!

I would rank Final Fantasy VI as one of my all time favourite games. :smile:

drlaunch 18. June 2009, 07:17

The Sims 2
Trackmania United
GTA: San Andreas
Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Galaxy

I really wanted to have Super Mario 3 on that list but these games really are too good.

Just made a post like this on my blog. I challenge the rest of you! Tag "top 5 games"

Furie 18. June 2009, 11:25

So many to choose from. awww Do I go with the hack n slash obsession of Diablo 2 or the storytelling epic of the Final Fantasys? The tactical comedy of Disgaea or the nostalgia of Day of the Tentacle? The first good platform game feeling of the Prince of Persia remakes or the tension of the Hitman series. I gotta go with game series here.

  • Star Ocean series for it's awesome combat and longevity.
  • Fallout series for just being so different from anything else out there.
  • Resident Evil series for making B-movies cool again and the awesome shoot fest that is Resi 4.
  • Knights of the Old Republic series (I'm including the Mass Effect series in this as they have similar cores) for sci-fi goodness and immense role playing replayability.
  • And number one is... Fable 2.
    There's something really relaxing about playing a game, sleeping with your wife and finding out you've gained a new STD from her, then murdering the slut in front of your kids. :happy:

bugscout 18. June 2009, 12:20

princessofdeath 19. June 2009, 15:26

I don't play much games... but probably my top 5 games would be..

1.) Left 4 Dead (and by next week or month.. it would be different. It depends on what I am playing now)
2.) Final Fantasy
3.) Super Mario P: hahahaha...
4.) Wizzards and Warriors (it's an old nintendo game)
5.) Maple Story (it's soo cute!)


I don't like games that make me dizzy of gives me motion sickness like counter strike. Augh~ sorry. If ever there was a 6, I'll add RAN online

andreabianco 20. June 2009, 00:55

Not easy at all, but here are my best 5 (not in order) :

- Fallout : best rpg I ever played.. huge, stuffed with stats, quests, great story and perfectly balanced

- Falcon 3.0 : I am not such a flight sim lover, but building my own team of buddies and flying with em in Falcon was simply amazing, especially at the time

- Imperium : an amazing strategy/political game from distant 1990 (electronic arts), coded in asm by 2 geniuses and the first game that got me addicted! :D

- Street Fighter 2 : what can I say? year after year I played it with everyone I knew and against everyone I knew and almost on every system existing (I never used the pcengine version!!) .. pure fun!

- Doom : I remember buying the shareware 1st level and trying it on a very lowend 386 -- I knew wolf3d already but Doom just blew me away, such a revolutionary game!

I could add some more, like Doom 2, Another World, Populous, Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, Daytona USA (coin op), Morrowind, Super Mario 1-2-3, Need For Speed 1&2, Tyrian, Stunts, F1GP, Alone In The Dark 1&2, F.E.A.R., Dune 2, Divine Divinity, Gothic 1, Max Payne 1, Colin McRae 1, Stalker, Flashback, Viper Racing, Mortal Kombat 1, etc etc .. basically old stuff, it's very rare I can find a recent game that captures me :frown:

Furie 20. June 2009, 10:54

Streetfighter! Homer: Doh! How could I forget the thing that kept me sane all those years?

andreabianco 20. June 2009, 11:31

:D:D:D

SouthernCross 20. June 2009, 14:47

Mortal Kombat. :D ...and chess. P:

Amnith 20. June 2009, 15:55

... Chess? Really?

SouthernCross 20. June 2009, 15:59

Yes. :rolleyes: It has nice graphics. Almost too real. :rolleyes:

princessofdeath 21. June 2009, 12:25

good old times I don't think it would be possible to repeat that now :smile:

Furie 26. June 2009, 00:07
