- DirectorDaniel VávraStarsMichael SorvinoWilliam DeMeoGeorge DiCenzoYou play a 1930s mobster as you act out your confession of your rise in the ranks of organized crime.The best story ever told in a video game. An immersive world, great characters and character development; nothing has come close to providing the same level of entertainment I had when I played and completed this game for the first time. It was like watching a great movie from beginning to end.
- StarsRay LiottaWilliam FichtnerTom SizemoreAfter being released from jail, Tommy Vercetti leaves Liberty City for Vice City, a city overrun by the mob. Now, Tommy is out to make Vice City his home.In my opinion, hands down, the best of the GTA series. Great characters, good story/missions, great soundtrack, and some good movie references.
- StarsJames McCaffreyHaviland MorrisChris PhillipsA troubled NYPD cop is framed for murder and finds himself being hunted by the police, the mob, and a ruthless corporation.A dark and gritty tale. Playable film noir at its finest.
- StarsJames McCaffreyWendy HoopesJonathan DavisThe brooding cop has left the DEA and returned to the NYPD. When his latest case ends up involving the thought-dead femme fatale Mona Sax, he finds that his journey through the night is far from over.While it's not as memorable as the original, it's still worth playing for Max Payne fans.
- DirectorMinh LeStarsJess CliffeA tactical FPS game, in which players assume the roles of members of combating teams of the governmental counter-terrorist forces, or various terrorist militants opposing them.The game that consumed many hours of my life. A staple for LAN parties, and never ending multiplayer entertainment. It's the game that has provided my with enough rage and laughter to last a lifetime.
My claim to fame was a 3-in-1 awp kill on de_dust2 in 2001. - DirectorJohn CookRobin WalkerStarsGary SchwartzGrant GoodeveNathan VetterleinNine mercenaries, two teams, guns, and hats. Welcome to Team Fortress 2, where psychopaths fight each other with shotguns, rocket launchers, pistols, baseball bats, surgical equipment, laser guns, and wear fancy hats.The most multiplayer fps fun I've had since Counter-Strike.
- DirectorGabe NewellRandy PitchfordStarsKathy LevinHarry S. RobinsMike ShapiroDr. Gordon Freeman must fight his way out of a secret research facility after a teleportation experiment goes disastrously wrong.The first fps that made me go "wow" from the first time I saw that train intro. It's the game that, in my eyes, redefined first person shooters.
- StarsYuri LowenthalJoanna WasickBarry DennenA young prince with expert fighting skills acquires the Dagger of Time, and unknowingly releases the powerful Sands of Time with it. Now he is trapped in a palace with sand creatures and must undo the unfortunate deed he has done.I really enjoyed this game. Believe it or not I played this after I finished Crysis for the first time and actually had more fun playing this. Maybe graphics aren't everything? The characters, the story, the detailed environments, the boss fights, the puzzles - they all made for a fun gaming experience. This was the original Prince of Persia brought into 3D perfectly.
Remember to get the high resolution/widescreen texture pack to improve the in-game detail a bit.
I haven't played any of the sequels to Sands of Time, except for Prince of Persia (2008), which I thought was a load of crap. - DirectorRasmus HøjengaardStarsDavid AndrioleDavid BatesonBarbara BernádA larger, more powerful agency is systematically eliminating assassins in a series of hits, who are all from Agent 47's contract killing firm, The International Contract Agency (ICA).The fourth game in the Hitman series. If you want to play a cold blooded stealth assassin then this is the game for you. It also has a good storyline to go along with it.
I recently finished Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and although the stealth mechanics and gadgets aren't as advanced as those in Splinter Cell, Hitman definitely outdoes it in the entertainment factor. I found Hitman to be more fun than CT, but both are still good games. - DirectorEdmund McMillenTommy RefenesMeat Boy goes to rescue his girlfriend Bandage Girl, who's been kidnapped by the evil Dr. Fetus.
- StarsYoung MaylayFaizon LoveYolanda 'Yo-Yo' WhittakerCarl "CJ" Johnson, a member of the Grove Street street gang, comes home after a family tragedy to find it overtaken by crime and corruption, which he must take back before things become worse.My second favourite of the GTA series. In my opinion the story, characters and missions aren't as great as the ones in Vice City, however the gameplay mechanics were improved quite a lot. It's still a lot of fun.
- DirectorJacek BrzezinskiStarsDoug CockleJacek RozenekAdam BaumanA monster slayer follows the trail of Salamandra, a criminal organization that stole dangerous alchemy formulas from his guild.
- StarsFrank GorshinLiana YoungJames HarperEvil has survived. Diablo, the Lord of Terror, now seeks to free his demonic brothers. The armies of the High Heavens are forbidden to interfere with Diablo's plan.I've never been a big fan of RPGs, mainly because I suck at them, but this is the one that I've enjoyed the most. Lots of fun times were had with friends at LANs doing runs from Act I to V in a single sitting.
- StarsRichard RidingsFrances WhiteLewis MacleodQuake III is a first-person shooter focusing exclusively on multiplayer arena fighting, adding an extensive customizability of player settings.Another LAN staple. Multiplayer, finger twitching, gib splattering, death-match chaos.
There are also some great mods for this that I played more than the vanilla version. If you don't know them, then I'd say these are the best:
CPMA
Rocket Arena
Instagib
Proball (A lot of fun at LANs if you have at least 8 people).
CS and Q3A were my most played LAN games from 2000-2004. - StarsRhys DavisCallum JonesSpike RobinsonAs a young street hustler you explore the free worlds of Liberty City, Vice City and San Andreas while doing jobs and assignments.The controversial game that made mindless violence, crime, and destruction a whole lot of fun.
- DirectorKen LevineStarsKemal AmarasinghamLaura BaldwinMatt BoyntonAn agent is deployed on a mission to explore a distant planet, but instead wakes up from his cryosleep five months later only to discover that the ship's artificial intelligence has been corrupted and the humans infected by an alien race.A great game that took a back seat to Half Life's limelight. It was first person sci-fi horror at its best. It's the game that you'd play in the dark with headphones up loud and enjoy getting the crap scared out of you.
It was quite a difficult and challenging game but an extremely rewarding experience. - DirectorElijah Ilyas KadujiStarsFaye MoreyTony TaylorDrive through cities, mine and industrial areas collecting bonuses, damaging competitors' cars, or by running over pedestrians in Carmageddon.Who can forget the game that rewarded you for running over people in a car?
GOURANGA!
Cunning Stunt Bonus! - DirectorAl LoweLooking for a good time? Meet Larry. He's just turned 40, and he's still single. If you can get past the glow of his Grecian formula, you can see his hairline beginning to make a hasty retreat from his forehead. Larry's leisure suit is of the highest quality (100% manmade material, permanent press too!). He wears at least 11 gold chains and his freshly-capped teeth could blind you in a bright light. Down at the singles bar he tells the chicks, "Sure, I'm single...I got in a fight with my ol' lady and she threw me out." He doesn't tell them the "ol' lady" was his mother, or that he was 38 at the time. He's the original blind date nightmare. The kind of guy you wouldn't want your daughter to date, let alone meet. But he's also the unlikely "hero" of this animated adventure game with updated graphics from the makers of the King's Quest series. In this 1991 remake of the original 1987 game, become the loveable nerd Larry for one fabulous night. You'll dance. You'll drink. You'll gamble. And, if you play your cards right, you might even meet the girl (or girls) of your dreams. Leisure Suit Larry is a humorous, harmless endeavor for adults. The object of the game is to help Larry overcome his jerkisms and lose his "you-know-what." It's a silly, risque romp through the singles scene and a challenging adventure game that will test your street smarts and suave sophistication. So, slip into your leisure suit and venture out into "the land of the lounge lizards." We guarantee it'll be a night you will never forget.The lovable sexual deviant Larry Laffer and his leisure suit make their debut appearance looking for love in this classic adventure game.
In the world of adventure games back in the day, Lucasarts and Sierra reigned supreme. I always preferred Sierra humour than Lucasarts and Leisure Suit Larry was one of my favourites. - DirectorJim WallsYou control a regular police officer patrolling the city of Lytton, California who must perform his duties strictly by the book.Another great Sierra adventure game. What was great about this game was the way you had to follow real police procedures to succeed. If you didn't, your game would come to an abrubt, but often humorous, end... like shooting yourself in the foot in the station's locker room.
- DirectorTom HallStarsBill CapizziNathan RenichMike ReynoldsAn American P.O.W. is trying desperately to escape from the Nazi prison Wolfenstein during World War II.ACHTUNG! Gun toting Nazis and hidden treasure rooms.
You were either a Doom kid or a Wolfenstein kid, I just happened to grow up playing Wolfentstein. Good times. - DirectorJordan MechnerKeisuke YasakaIn ancient Persia, the sultan's vizier, Jaffar, seizes power. With his only obstacle to the throne being the sultan's daughter, he locks her up. In order to free her, you must escape dungeons, get to the palace tower and defeat Jaffar.The side scrolling platformer that drove you nuts trying to race against time through countless levels of a prison dungeon, jumping booby traps, drinking potions, and drawing your sword to fight turban-clad prison guards to save a princess.
