Haven't played games in years.

But Nintendo wise I was addicted to "Mike Tyson's Punchout". I detested Bald Bull. In the rematch I smashed him up goooood.

Thanks. I can't play the new versions of wrestling since then. Too complicated.

Awesome list for you. If the government would just pay me $20,000/yr for the rest of my life, I could sit at home and do nothing but play video games.

lol same here

You could actually return kicks for TD's (if you knew how to do it, not just holding "X" the whole time, you gotta set that shit up). The running game was a straight fucking Sim. Great, great game, even with all the contact recognition and super cpu problems.

Then, the next years version they change it so you can't return kicks again. I fucking hated Madden... wait what? Madden for PS2 was like a lot like a woman.

Some great games already named. I'll name only my very favorites.

Left 4 Dead 2 (Versus)
Pokemon Blue on GB (and I never even liked pokemon...)
Mario Tennis 64 (perhaps the best 1 v 1 versus game I have ever played)
Madden on PS2 (the new madden's are garbage)
Contra

Prime...did you like L4D2 over L4D? I thought the matchmaking just fell off on the second one. David and I couldn't get anyone to play against us in L4D2.

It's a real-time strategy game. They made one for the N64 but I just didn't like it quite as much. The storyline intrigued me more than anything in the game. Also, the fact that you could finish with about 30 different endings made the game interesting. The difficult part, though, was maintaining a certain reputation. It was very easy to simply use your best units to constantly fight instead of showing "mercy" to the enemy. There was a reputation meter that was very difficult to keep at its highest level.

Eternal Darkness was fantastic because of its use of a "sanity" meter. It was probably the most inventive game I've ever played but I won't say much else in case you do play because the surprise of the game is what made it so good.

Ogre Battle definitely is not for everyone. You'll know quickly whether or not you enjoy the game. You might want to pick up some sort of guide to help you learn more quickly how the game works. I think most people give up on it because it is pretty complex. I completely understand that this type of game is not everyone's cup of tea, though.

I've been in kind of a lull lately with games. I really haven't played PC games since Command & Conquer and Red Alert. It's been a LONG time. I'm about to pick up Batman: Arkham Asylum and finally play that. I had been playing Halo: Reach and Borderlands. Next on my list is Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Bayonetta, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet and Fable III to name a few. I saw that you had listed MK 9 for the PS3. Is it worth picking up?

Yeah I haven't played any PC games in a while, the few i've gotten i didn't like and quit almost right away. Looking forward to Diablo 3 though.

Yeah its a decent game, I'm not sure how good it is, its the first fighter game I've played seriously... The thing is, you have to have friends who want to play it and play it seriously... the 1 player mode is pretty much garbage, and so is online play IMO (lag realllly kills the game)...
