They reached their zenith with Baldur's Gate series IMO.

This went well.
Final Fantasy games (and 90% of all jRPGs) make me think of Indiana Jones. If every fucking hero is carrying a sword, why can't someone shoot him in the fucking head before they get close?
I find all civilization games to be great in concept, but somehow awkward in execution. Except Colonization (which I love) and Alpha Centauri (one of my best games ever).
PES2 for the PlayStation. Overcomplicated mess of controls with the occasional brilliant moment. PES 6 is ace, 'to.
Championship Manager until 3. Gigantic database hidden but with such data, most people I knew still had carbon copies of their teams from game to game and from each other

Uncontrollable, piece of shit football game which everyone worshipped for no clear reason.
I remember that. Classic game
It was Sensible World of Soccer that I found uncontrollable.
Tomb Raider - Loved the first two because I was young and hadnt played games that looked or played like that before. Tomb Raider 2 in Venice was class.
GTA- Vice City was the pinnacle of the series for me. Music, cars, storyline and introduction of motorbikes
After that they were just too samey. Most recent is brilliant as a game but about half way through I just put down the controller and havent picked it up in months. Same game ad infinium.
*saying that, if they had a zoo on a newer version I'd buy for that reason alone, just to unlock the animals and watch from a safe distance as they eat everyone...nom nom nom

I got "banned" from playing serious "games" with my "gamer" mates when I used to spend all my time shooting and running at the chickens in Counter Strike....and attribute that experience with my urges to get close with "birdies" now also...ie <images....nsfw>

Splinter Cell, god that was a dissapointment.
Ich bin ein Mod
does his make up in his room
All the tomb raider games
Shit control system, shit level design, shit graphics; all they had going for them was a lass with unfeasible tits prancing about in small shorts. Even when I was a teenager I wasn't that easily impressed ffs.
This
Plus Final Fantasy games, although that hasn't stopped me being stupid and buying a fair few of them

the two best games of 2008, philistine!
I tried but on ME I got stuck on a shitty planet, and fallout I was to fussy with the stats to enjoy it, I will get onto them soon and hopefully appreciate the fuss. I enjoyed Oblivion a lot more, so I assume I'll end up enjoying fallout once I get into it properly.

Odd, those games are far more engaging and approachable than that stilted bag of Tolkeinite shite that is Oblivion. I fucking hate goblins, elves and all that reactionary race balls, and that's before I even get to the games clunky fps meleé combat.

Oh and Bioshock as well, I didn't appreciate that like everyone else did.
I dislike all the big games
I just took it back to blockbusters after playing it for about 20 minutes. Didn't like it at all. Fear 2 is pretty good though, been playing all morning

I loved just running about doing the little side missions, the whole free roaming world and scenery, like I say I SHOULD like fallout but it just hasn't clicked with me
I'm not a fan of goblins and shizzle usually either, I'm a shoot shit type of guy, so fallout should be my favourite game of all time on paper
They were fucking immense, you were walking around dungeons and it all looked like this (this is Dungeon Master in the pic, Eye... was marginally more sophisticated)
I know it doesn't look like much from that picture, but the atmosphere was something else. The lights slowly got darker and darker and you had to keep making sure you had torches. And you were reliant on magic and at the start you had to choose which characters to use from a dungeon gallery, and throughout the game the creatures would come towards you from far away and you'd first hear them before you actually saw them, christ it was scary, never seen a newer game as scary as those.
Never played 'em as didn't have a PC at the time, sadly
This makes no sense.
In Kick off 2, the ball didn't stick to the player, so you had to really faff just to get him to dribble for a second. In Sensible it was so intuitive.
