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?

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.

Joel Lutherlutherjw Wednesday, June 17, 2009 10:43:25 PM

So wrong. All of them. bigsmile

Super Metroid for the win.

Andrew Nguyenandrewnguyen Wednesday, June 17, 2009 10:50:31 PM

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. bigsmile

Hahaha, I've played that too!!

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

Andrew Nguyenandrewnguyen Thursday, June 18, 2009 1:31:42 AM

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

S a msamfresco Thursday, June 18, 2009 1:56:26 AM

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!!

Charles SchlossChas4 Thursday, June 18, 2009 2:33:28 AM

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

Andrew Nguyenandrewnguyen Thursday, June 18, 2009 2:36:01 AM

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

Mad Scientist (عادل)qlue Thursday, June 18, 2009 3:31:27 AM

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.

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

The Digg
Full Throttle
Day of the Tentacle

Robert Jacobsenrobertj Thursday, June 18, 2009 7:00:09 AM

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

Dark FurieFurie Thursday, June 18, 2009 11:25:20 AM

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

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

Andrea A. Biancoandreabianco Saturday, June 20, 2009 12:55:17 AM

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! bigsmile

- 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 sad

Dark FurieFurie Saturday, June 20, 2009 10:54:27 AM

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

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