This was one of the most underrated FPS' of all time in my opinion. I was really excited to see and play the Episodes game years later, but the project screwed up I guess.

And of course the gorgeous Bianca Beauchamp could not be forgotten for posing as Elexis Sinclaire, Blade's arch nemesis.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention the original Doom.

For anyone who had already been into gaming, especially like me from the days when Zork was an amazing breakthrough in gaming, Doom represented one of the very very few true game-changers in gaming history. The graphics, the gameplay, the story line, all of it came together in a way that I can confidently say no game ever had before, and no game has truly equaled since. I spent many a night staying up way too late playing this game on my IBM 486-66 after hours of homework in college. In a darkened room with the sound turned on (most computers at that time didn't have proper speakers, let alone sound cards or anything like that, Doom pulled off the eerie sounds on the old tinny transistor radio speaker) I found it completely immersing. It helped that I had a 19" monitor (huge at the time) to enjoy it on, and then the LAN games and actually playing over a modem thanks to one very hardware and tech savvy friend, actually playing with my friends in the earliest version of MMORP you could really play.

Wow, just awesome, simply awesome.

1-Everquest
2-Demon souls series
3-Mario series
4-Zelda Ocarrina of Time
5-Elder Scrolls Series

Honorable Mentions - The Witcher, Warcraft 3, DaOC, Goldeneye n64, Mariocart n64, LOTRO

I can't believe nobody else mentioned Everquest. I worked for six months right out of high school for Sony and took calls regarding EQ. I had never played an online game and thought people who did were teh nerd. However, it was part of our job to play and know the game inside and out, so I played. I got hooked, obviously, and played the same character for almost ten years, and an alt for almost five. I was a top 10 Shadow Knight in the world, (Sony had actual Rankings posted on their site) as GAY as that sounds. I sold my account for $1,200.00, which was bitter sweet -- I miss that game.

Did anyone ever play Champions of Norath? That's the most fun I've had playing a rpg action multiplayer game sinve diablo II

Attempted. Hated it.

I agree with this, x2.

Other than EQ, I really haven't played many games. Got into WoW for a year or two, but maxed the level in a few months and got tired of killing n00bs like Vinyl all the time. I got a Sega Genesis when I was like 12 (the only gaming console my parents ever bought for us) and really loved Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, and Sonic.

Got hooked on Halo 2 when I lived with my in-laws while we built a house. Bought an xbox just for playing that game; never owned another xbox game and haven't plugged it in since I moved away from bigb's neighborhood.

Overall, I'm not much of a gamer.

When I was super young, I use to stay up late with my dad and just watch him play Doom. Probably some of the best father/son bonding time we had.

Halo 2 was the ultimate online console game. The way they had the ranking system setup made it very addicting.

I have now put about 250 hours into Skyrim and still have quite a bit left to do. Haven't loved a game this much since Ocarina of Time.

 

[addictionary]

I have Skyrim waiting for me with all the cool mods loaded (no sex mode used except for the nude skins. I like boobs) but have zero time and energy to play.

How hard does that suck?

Whenever I don't have enough time to do something, I just use my regularly scheduled date night with my wife to do it.

Haha, I could shoot date night in the face. How is it that the night that is supposed to bring us closer is almost always overrun with frustration and fighting?

You just haven't learned how to keep your woman in line. And the secret is making sure you put it all in perspective for her.

Here listen to this, it should help.
