...but she was so pretty.....

Landing on the planets and driving around in the MAKO took way longer then 5 minutes. And then when I would get to a "landmark" it would be some ancient artifact that I would never use..talk about a waste of time getting there....I didn't mind fighting in the MAKO, it was the driving all over the planets for basically nothing that drove me crazy.

Yeah, those missions were completely pointless.

There are a few games that define games for me. HL/CS were great in the lan comic shop and introduced online to me, but DoD was by far the game for me. I loved the ting of the m1 garand ejecting the clip

Civ was a staple for me. Civ 2 was I think best but 3 and 4 had their place. I even liked 5 although it was not as great. But again it was not until you took of to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri that I lost days in it.

RTS was not my game, although I enjoyed AOE I did not like starcraft at all. That is until Company of Heroes came along. It turned me into an RTS gamer. I am so looking forward to the new one coming out soon. I have played them all. I also love that they made a cross over to my other hobby Warhammer 40k. Great games all.

But the best. The ultimate. The game that made myself and my friends buy computers and figure out how to do online communications (waaaaaay before the internet) was Master Of Orion. #2 was the one for us. We would get together for weekly hot seat battles. Although we still played #1 on occasion. Heck I would play MoOII right now if I could. I really do wish they would make a #3 (don't make me kill you by mentioning that thing that has the name of #3 but is not.)

Metro 2033 is in the same league, but still not quite as good as BioShock.

Yeah, I'll agree with Bioshock. The setting and storyline was gripping and original, in my opinion.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Huge sandbox, great little side missions (who doesn't want to do bike races up and down mountains?) and a great variety of locations and people.

I love sandboxes so hard.

Hmm

FPS:
1. CS 1.6 - Legendary game
2. Quake 1,2,3 - Along with CS, was the beginning of the competitive FPS scene
3. Unreal Tournament 3 - super fun what with the quad jumps in custom servers
4. COD4 - Very fun game, balanced and competitive

MMORPG:
Ragnarok Online - spent too much time on this game in my younger years. Highly addictive until balance issues came into -play

Although the graphics were never really that great, but I would have to say Everquest. The god awful amount of time I spent in the game was more than I ever did for school work. Not to mention it being one of the MMORPG's that paved the way for WoW and the fact that it is still being played today.

Metal Gear Solid 4 for me. The sole reason I bought a PS3, and one of the only games I've ever had the interest in to beat more than once. Absolutely splendid experience, not just a game. Can't say enough good things about it.
