Best and worst computer games ever

    best is a diffciult one. the game I enjoyed the most was probably HL:Opposing Force or WC3 or Operation Flashpoint. The game I enjoyed least and wished I´d never bought was Delta Force:Black Hawk Down - not that it was unremittingly bad, it had several very good points, sadly all let down by its bad points. i ended up throwing it away in frustration.

    "for once, i`ll actually tell you what i was thinking; but maybe i won`t have anything to say.."

    Ooooo...forgot about that one. Crap doesn´t even begin to describe it. ---<i>&quot;Open the Pod Bay doors, Hal, and I´ll give you a cookie.&quot; </i>

    It´d be too hard for me to choose the best game I´ve played but for the worst game (that I actually owned) it´d have to be Aquanox. It came free with my graphics card at the time and was meant to show off the card´s capabilities. It´s a futuristic submarine dogfighting game, while in reality it was more like a space sim played in excruciating slow-mo with an incoherent storyline.

    best game ever?FL,seriously,i´ve never owned another game that kept me interested for years before.unreal tournaments,halo games,gtas,BFs,nothing keeps my interest like freelancers multiplayer does.the worst game ever?mario brothers 2 - it was just a clone of another game with new sprites

    Best game ever (aside from FL) would probably be Age of Empires (the original). Sad part is that I own high tech games like Battlefield 2, Half-Life 2 and Morrowind (which are all good games), but the disks sitting in the &quot;ready to play&quot; area of my desk are both Age of Empires games and Civilization II. Worst game ever in my opinion: Battlecruiser Millenium. Maybe I´m just not a space sim guy except for FL, but it didnt float well. Wanna hear a joke? Daikatana!

    Sad to say - FL is one of the best games I have ever played, but I have to couple it with a few others: X2 the Threat KOTOR KOTOR II Yeah, they are all pretty new - but I had a <i>long </i> spell without gaming - so I missed things like Freespace, WC and other series. Worst game - giving away how long ago it was since I played games.......would have to be Terminator 2. Diabolical.

    Best game? That´s not so tough, <b>Starcraft </b> Worst... Hmm... There are so many... I can´t even begin to write them all <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Yep,Starcraft.Probably the best storyline in a RTS ive ever played.Tje games been going since 97 and there just now revisiting the SC universe with StarCraft:Ghost.And SC is still getting new players,bout 6 a day (small amount)

    &quot;Battlecruiser Millenium&quot; does it even class a game? the errant spawn of Derek Smart´s ego shoorly has never actually been installed on anyone´s PC? you aren´t telling you akshuly <i>paid </i> real money for it?

    "for once, i`ll actually tell you what i was thinking; but maybe i won`t have anything to say.."

    Pay? huh? It´s called secondhand. We poor americans have a system of &quot;this game sucks, you try it out and see for yourself&quot;. Yes, actually, it was installed on someone´s computer.

    ewwwwww. did it do strange things to it? did a highly unstable man with glasses and a piece of *alien metal* and a fake degree appear on screen at any time? you do have to love Derek, well I say *love*, I mean in a *laugh uncontrollably but be glad you dont live near him* sort of way. He truly is unique in his crapness. Without him the interweb would be a erm better but less amusing place. meantime.. Daikatana? did anyone actually buy this game? it is pants by the way but it seems most people who slag it off never even played it. Aquanox? I agree, terribly disappointing - I was hoping for an improved Subwar and it wasn´t even that good. Good graphics for benchmarking though. i think there has to be a distinction between *worst games that everyone says are bad* and *games which i thought I´d like and turned out be bollox* - such as SW:Force Commander &amp; SW:Supremacy, both of which looked and sounded wonderful and were actually pants. Or the legions of sub-Doom ripoffs back in the mid-90s, or the shoddy film tie-ins such as Enter the Matrix? One fo the reasons why I dont buy many games anymore is that, most of the time, I dont feel Im getting my moneys worth. if FL had to be justified in purely monetary terms, its been a great buy. 39 notes on the day it came out, I played almost nothing else for 6 months after and I do keep going back to it. so that 39 quid span out a long ways, what else can you get for 39 quid that gives you months of entertainment? b*gger all afaik.

    "for once, i`ll actually tell you what i was thinking; but maybe i won`t have anything to say.."

    Funner isn´t a word. Best Game: Half-Life 2 (If I were to rate this, 10 out of 10.) Worst Game: Torrente [Tor-ren-tay (I would rather have George Bush crawl up my ass than play this again. -269 out of 10. And that´s being very generous.)

    Worst to me, was X2 due to the learning curve. I finally gave up and put it on the shelf to colect dust

    as for the best game I have to say morrowind. I got the game of the year edition when it first came out and I still havent started the main quest, there is just that much fun in the game, I am the same way with freelancer. As for the worst game I have to say KOTOR, it just had too many cutscenes in it and not enough freedome in it to keep my intrest. To damn liniler for my tast. Blessed Be to all those that still dream of the flight to the stars.

    When you say best game, dozens come to mind. To say the best, itd have to be Age of Empires II: The Conquerors. MS has released what, three RTS games since then, and still none of them top it. Rise of Nations comes close mind you, but AOE:TC is timeless. It is and will forever be my favorite game. Until AOE III is released. Worst game? Hands down, Star Trek: New Worlds. It came with my old video card, which has since exploded. Great graphics, but was in reality a wanna be RTS that just plain sucked. Anyone who´s played it knows.

    Its kind of a shame to see these games omitted from the ´Best Game´ list: System Shock 2 - a game that even today with it´s somewhat dated graphics, still can scare the willies out of me. To me, it was scarier than Doom 3. Deus Ex - God damn I love this game. This is the #1 on Shark´s all time favourite games list. For it´s day, using the Unreal Tournament engine, it looked pretty schwing, and the gameplay was the perfect melding of an RPG and a FPS. Voice acting in it was pretty good too, strange to see that nowadays. Total Annihilation - Best. RTS. Ever. Period. I stand by that today as i did when i first got it. There are abilities and functions in TotalA that no other RTS has ever matched. Build queues, multiple orders are slowly making a their way into current titles, but it took them, how long? TA was realeased in 1997. In 8 years, no one has put those back in... It is a shame that TA:Kingdoms sucked absolute ass, and was the cause of Cavedog´s demise. Max Payne &amp; Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne - one of the best storylines in a game ever. Beautiful to look at, to listen to, and to enjoy. Evil Genius - God damn this game is funny. Kept me entertained for ages. One of those games which are truly unique, and it is a shame the publishers wont touch stuff like this normally. Uplink - If you´ve played it, you know what i´m on about. Scorched Earth - Again, those who remember, will remember the fun had with this game. Tanks were never so much fun. For the worst? Let me run the list: Star Trek Elite Force 2 - Sorry, but this game is pants. The worst implication of a story i´ve seen in a while. It looks good, but it handles bad and the acting sucks. Predictable as hell too. Mechwarrior series - I hate these games with a passion, it´s waay too fiddly for my likes. Really only for the hardcore battletech fans. Mech Commander 2 was good though, albeit a tad short. Bart´s Nightmare (SNES) - I don´t want to remember this game. It´s just too painful. There´s a buttload of others. I just don´t want to remember them all. -:- You wanna revolution?

    Love Shark do you want to clean up your above post a little? I don´t have a problem with cursing, but GD and JMFC is where I draw the line. Not trying to sound rude/hatefull/mean by this, but please have a little more consideration for other people. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
