Pick 5

[KillerGremlin]

Warcraft 2, for it's time, was a pretty big step for the RTS genre. I played a lot of Warcraft 2, I thought it was a pretty sweet game.

But then there was Starcraft...
And, honestly, I can't see how people didn't convert from Warcraft to Starcraft.

Warcraft/WC2 might be credited more, in terms of gameplay it took more steps for the RTS genre. Starcraft and Warcraft 3 offer some new features, but they are mostly just super-refined, near-perfect, games.

Warcraft 3 has that RPG element to it, and it's kind of focused on micro management. I think a lot of it is just preference though. For instance, I've always preferred Warcraft and Starcraft to Command & Conquer. And even within that series, Starcraft was always my game of choice. Warcraft 2 is a lot of fun though. You get some pretty big sea battles going, and there are some cool units/spells. Warcraft 3 is so much prettier and has more stuff though.

And then there was Age of Empires...which I've always considered a sim-strategy game.

But yeah, I think it's just an individual preference thing.


Edit: Who needs strategy.

1. Tetris - Face it, you can never be done with tetris, and its so addicting

2. Warcraft 3 - I can agree with everyone here

3. Guild Wars - Already clocked in hundreds of hours to that game, and I'm still loving it. There is a lot to do and the developers really try to keep the game fresh and challenging for everyone. Its great.

4. Half Life 2 - I love that game, it is so immersive, and it comes with Counter Strike, so you can't beat that!

5. Zelda OoT - So good, so fun. Even after some new games come out, I still think longingly of that very first moment in 3D Hyrule.

Hmm, probably:

1. Chrono Trigger - I never get tired of playing this one. And 12 endings? Sign me up.

2. Jet Set Radio Future - I know it's not as good as Jet Grind Radio, but there's a lot more to do.

3. Tetris DS. Man there's a lot to do in that game.

4. Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Maybe I'll figure it out one of these days. That, and I can make unlimited maps.

5. Skies of Arcadia. Because everyone loves pirates.

Crap I forgot about Skies of Arcadia....

I might have to make a substitution.

[DarkMaster]

Skies of Arcadia, as long as it's the GameCube version. The random battles in the Dream Cast game made me go insane, and that was back when I was younger and had a lot more tolerance for video games.

****, I forgot about jsrf.
I'd take jsrf instead of Battlefield 2, easily. Any day.

[Ginkasa]

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Are you retarded? Its the goshdarn Ocarina of Time!

2. The Legend of Zelda: Marjora's Mask
- I can switch between the two.

3. Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic
- Its a fun game.

4. Star Wars - Kinghts of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
- Its a sequel to a fun game. And its fun, too.

5. Eternal Darkness
- Just because I always eventually want to play it again. Always.
