Because I felt like creating one.
What just sticks with you?
Published on June 6, 2009 By Kitkun In PC Gaming

Over the years, some games just stick out from the crowd. Not because of a great story or innovative gameplay, but just because they have this certain style that nothing else does.  My question is this: Which games would you pick?

My choices:

The Legend of Zelda series: Dueling Skeletons, traveling underwater temples, or fighting from horseback, these games never cease to feel like an epic journey.

Okami: Unique art, gameplay, music and more, this game is one of the very few I was sad to finish simply because I wanted to keep going.

The first two Command and Conquer games: Oh, come on. These games have more style in their installation than most games in their entirety. From the FMV and CG cutscenes, to the in-game art, voices, and varied units, to the awesome soundtrack, everything just fits in these games. To a lesser extant, the next three also had great style.

Deus Ex.
Every day, before I go to sleep, I say a small prayer that Deus Ex will have a real remake and that the atrocity that was Invisible War will be deemed decidingly non-canon.

Amen.

Well, they are supposed to be making Deus Ex 3 but it was announced ages ago and there've been no news about it since.

Alpha Protocol is also coming out soon, and while it's not Deus Ex, the  style is similar and hopefully it'll be fun.

I don't have that high hopes for Deus Ex 3, unless they suddently pull a 180 and agrees with me that Invisible War was a huge stinkin' wad of poop.

And Alpha Protocol.. blech. Console dumbing down was much of the reason Invisible War failed to begin with - much more so than the asinine plot and nonsensical storyline progression.

Homeworlds all, Deus Ex, Half Life all, Age of Empires II, Rise of Nations oh ya good times, Eve Online (PVP HECK YA!) and Team Fortress 2.

 

You can google Deus Ex 3 and get the website(my bookmark is gone) and you can get more info on it... Ya my gut feeling its will suck again.... god damn it...

Actually Alpha Protocol SOUNDS good at the moment, but who knows..and D3 is SUPPOSED to be 180 degree turn from Invis War.  We can only hope.

Mechwarrior 1 ,2 and 3

 

Sid Meier's Pirates

Myth: The Fallen Lords

Oh hell yeah, but i liked the sequel and prequel as well. Just loved that style of RTS.

Final Fantasy 7

Warcraft 1-2-3 (screw WoW)

Civilization 2

Battle Toads and Double Dragon

to name a few.

Although some great game popped up, I'm surprised only one of the following popped:

Master of Magic aka MoM

Master of Orion 2

Betrayal at Krondor (note- it's a lot better than Return to Krondor, its followup)

Star Control  aka Starcon

Star Control 2 aka Starcon2 (note- If you wish to touch starcon 3, do it BEFORE you touch the other two, else you will cry blood)

Goblins 3 aka Gob3

Monkey island series

Although there are a lot more games, I found these games to be great, spaciel and better than most of their imitations.

I have yet to encounter a game from the last 5 years that I have liked more than WoW, and we already heard people's opinion about it.

It's not really immaturity, at least not in the normal sense of the word. It's just that different people grew up with different things and thus have different standards for comparison. You list CoD4, Super Smash Bros., Final Fantasy 10 and mention Pokemon as "everyone was into it at one stage".

To me that's just madness. And even then, there should only be about a 3 year difference between us ('86 here).

I'll second MechWarrior 2. 2 really stands out the most for me. 1 was amazing from the gameplay perspective (no game since had you actually managing a dropship with fuel, weight limits, and pretty much a sandbox merc game where you could also negotiate contracts) but it wasn't very "stylish".

Portal

Star Control 2

Master of Orion 2

Master of Magic

Majesty

Dominion 3

Space Ops

Gysh

Civ2

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

 

Etc. etc.
