Silent Storm isn't even as good as X-Com, lawl.

[nace]

Man, I can`t believe that I forgot about Half-Life in my top5 some days ago.... OK, here we go:

10. Ghost Recon - PC -
Tom Claney`s masterpiece of army games. Nowadays the army games are too darn easy. In this first person shooter you play with a squad of 5-6 men (It was a long time ago, I cant remember it correctly). If you get hit-you die, or you get wounded (leg, arm etc.). The atmosphere in the game is great, the weather... When it rains in the game, you feel like it rains in your room.

9. Serious Sam - PC-
Soot, shoot, shoot.... reload. Shoot, shoot, Shoot... reload. Shoot at an army of 1000 (literally) stampedo-like aliens and kill`em all Serious Sam gets serious, and kills everything weird on his way The action is non - stop and you will upgrade yopur reflexes playing the game. It will also make you laugh a lot

8. Deep Sea Fishing -PC-
You are a fisherman on a yaht (if i spelled it correctly) and you catch, sharks and other monstrous fishes. When the bate is in the water you can look at it (inside the water) along with the fishes. There are some tiny litlle fishes, and some HUGE, I mean HUGE, great white sharks. A great game if you just want to relax... Untill a great white bites the bate. Trust me, they realy are HUGE and heavy. k:

7. Double Dragon 2 - Arcade Mashine
I was the youngest player who managed to play the game all the way with a single coin > In the end the owner of the ...errr... complex, wouldn`t let me play it anymore <_<

6. Half-Life 1.5 -PC
I don`t have to talk alot about this one. It made me loose weight, I played it day and night.

5. Crash Team Racing - Playstation
Hilarious It`s much more interesting when you play it with another player. >

4. Twisted Metal 2 - Playstation
Uffff... It`s hard to begin. I was playing with "Thumper" and I wanted to burn stuff > Again, It`s more interesting when you play it with another person (co-operative). The music was great, The levels were awesome, the storyline was fantastish...
"I AM CALIPSOOO! And I thank you for playing Twisted Metal..." Yes, I have said that before

3. Top Gear - Sega Mega (Also known as Sega Genesis)
A racing masterpiece. Great music. This is one of the first games when you get to upgrade your car. You drive around the world, and you have to finish in the top 10 to continue the championship. It brings back a lot of memories of sleapless nights , driving. The feeling is better when you drive it with someone else. Again...

2. NBA In The Zone 2 - Playstation
...Because I love this game (basketball) . It is the best basketball game ever. If you are a 90`s NBA fan this is the game for you. Shawn Kemp, Glen Rice, Dennis Rodman, Tony Kukoc, Steve Kerr, David Robinson, Scottie Pippen, reggie Miller.... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Nowadays NBA had lost it`s charm. When the Bulls era finished, so did the american basketball.

1. Silent Hill 4-The Room - PC
I had nightmares The game freaked me out, especially the apartment. Sorry, I can`t describe it - I`ll ruind it.
You realy have to see this for you`r self.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I go gaga at your #1, have you even played the other SH games?

[/b]

Each one, except for Silent Hill 3.

Why the gaga :blink:

The others were fatal as well, but this sequel impressed me the most.
The thing that differs Silent Hill 4 from every other horror - adventure game is the apartment, and the sound that the ghosts made...

[Blood-Pigggy]

Well it's just that SH 4 had almost no atmosphere, story, characters, or as much fun as the other games in the series had.

[Fawfulhasfury]

I just played Silent hill 4, and BP, your crazy. What do you mean no atmosphere? I loved what I played of the game. My only objection is that I knew what was going to happen before it did. That sort of made it less entertaining. Except in the tunnel. Seeing static in a tunnel was new to me. But then again I haven't played SH 2 or 3 yet, so.

I'm not listing this as my favorite games, as I like different games for different reasons, so in my mind instead of favorite, I'm listing what I think deserves to be the greatest games of all time.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (n64) [action]
I played this for the first time on my cousins n64. this was one of the only nintendo games he liked and the only game in this genre he liked, but I immediately loved it. I hated Ganondorf and couldn't be happier when I finally kicked his arse, so I went back and kicked his arse again 5 more times. Hardest boss for me: Bongo Bongo
Hated lvl: Water temple

2. Monkey Island series (DOS,Windows) [adventure]
The fantastic Monkey Island series has always kept me entertained and laughing throughout. My favorite of the series, #3, had an art style inspired by my favorite artist Edward Gorey.

3. Clive Barker's Undying (Windows) [FPS]
Extremely fun, extremely scary, and extremely atmospheric. The monsters were incredibly inventive, and the levels dark and evil. Mixed with fantastic enemy AI, you can't go wrong with this FPS. Plus, the main character wheres boots!

4. Super Mario brothers series (every Nintendo platform) [adventure, action, platform, RPG]
This speaks for itself.

5. Secret of Mana 3 (DS, SNES) [RPG]
A large cast of playable characters, large sets of storylines interweaving into a larger overarching storyline.
It doesn't get much better than that. Plus an extremely hard difficulty. I've never actually been able to finish this game.

6. Silent Hill series (Playstation, Playstation 2, Windows) [adventure]
Scariest games on the face of the earth. I've never actually jumped in a game before. I've been slowly scared in games bit by bit, especially in these of course, but this was the first game to make me jump. From the sirens after a boss battle to the shaky headed freaks you find throughout, I can't say a game is scarier than these. Especially when you can't find a map.

7. Full throttle (Windows) [adventure]
Not my favorite adventure game, but probably one of the best Lucasarts ever made. The storyline is quite funny at first, but gets darker as the game progresses. It makes you feel like your playing a pg-13 rated cartoon. Honorable mention to my favorite voice actress, Pat Musick, a veteran of Don Bluth films who brought a hilarious personality to Miranda the reporter. That made the game for me.

8. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (XBOX, PC) [adventure, FPS]
all right, some might say, argh, how can he pick that. Well its true, the latter half of the game isn't all that great. Since we've pretty much been there seen that. But the first one fourth of the game is amazing beyond belief. How the stage is set and you slowly start to realize this town ain't letting you leave. the characters are wonderfully portrayed in a more faithful manner than I've ever seen before. The levels are grungy and perfectly portray the dingyness of the port town of Innsmouth. Together with an incredible story, wonderful voice acting, and inventive levels and enemies, I just couldn't put the game down. It's only cons are the facts that it didn't set the stage for more than a normal sneak and shoot sort of game, leaving its wonderfully built adventure game elements for more buggy and uninventive gameplay. All in all, a VERY underrated game.

9. Fallout
Though I couldn't enjoy this game myself just due to the fact I found it boring as heck, it has been hailed as wonderful and inventive by the many people who have played it more than me. So I have to give this one an honorable mention, even if I can't say I found it that honorable.

10. American McGee's Alice
Another underrated game in my opinion. the characters, levels, bosses, and storyline are all A+ in my opinion. But the gameplay itself is normal platforming, which is something McGee could've really rememdied with more inventive ideas. I can't say I didn't enjoy this game though, because I REALLY did. So there ya go.

Honorable mentions:

ADOM
Resident Evil series especially 4
Duke Nukem
Doom 1 and 2
Clock Tower

Come on piggy, SH4 has a nice story there, and it was somewhat connected with SH2...
Do you remember the article of Walter Sullivan in SH2? In the Newspaper?

A brave litlle kid is traumatisised (if I spelled it correctly) by the olders in his lonesome world, and it becomes what it becomes.... It`s a sad story... It shows how closely love and hate are related...

That`s a fine story...
Not to mention the tunnel and everything.

But the apartment... Your first impression is that this is your safe-house. That you`ll be safe there. Than litlle by litlle.............you are not safe anymore. It`s art.

It's just that when you play SH2 and 3 it's like taking a huge step downward, it forsakes the massive atmosphere, bizarre twisting plotlines and dual layered characters for a simpler action focused game, and the apartment is kinda spooky at first, but it just gets to be gimmicky, and the different areas aren't as well designed or interesting.

Besides, some of the things like the stupid ghosts you have to fight are just ridiculous.

Why?
The ghost thing was a good idea I think...

Instead of the cliche-zombies, there were ghosts, who made some noises like they were crying....

It`s a matter of taste.

[Blood-Pigggy]

The ghosts themselves were fine, but the game was a lot like Alice, it had nice elements, but they fall flat, if you just look at things closely, it kinda looks like they were trying to much.

And the ghosts were just dumb because some of them were nearly impossible to pin.
