The two I remember with the most fondness are Halo and FFVIII. Somewhere banging around in there is also Alpha Centauri. I also remember playing Quake II on a modem-to-modem connection and thinking I was the smartest bastard on the planet for getting that working. How little I knew... conrad@idkfa.com (conrad) Cognitive Surplus Fri, 07 Mar 2014 18:19:50 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6120&msg_id=6130 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6120&msg_id=6129 I can't really do a "top 10." There are way, way too many ways to slice a video game for comparison. Instead, here's the list of games that, when I am murdered in 2018 by the time thieves, the person that has to go back in time with my clone will need to have Josh Prime play these games in order to produce a reasonable simulacrum: Grim Fandango (Proof) Planescape: Torment (Proof) Full Throttle (Proof) Theme Park (Proof) Half Life (Proof) Half Life 2, episodes (Proof) That takes you through about 19, and should have addressed by my love for dialog trees, subtle, wry humor, dark narratives, and my fascination with humanity in aggregate. Pray that I am ready by then. kaiden@idkfa.com (kaiden) Cognitive Surplus Fri, 07 Mar 2014 17:10:22 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6120&msg_id=6129 http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6120&msg_id=6126 Relevant.

Goldeneye was so fun, as was Super Smash Bros. Ocarina of Time (and A Link to the Past) both make me almost tear up with nostalgia when I think about them. Civilization 5 is probably the game I've put the most hours in... ever. Randomly, though, I think I liked Saints Row 2 better than any GTA I've played. Part of that might have been Michael Dorn though.

I wouldn't rank between these games, in other words, the number is just making sure i have ten. 1. Goldeneye (Rare) 2. Half Life 2 (& episodes) (Valve) 3. Portal (Valve) 4. GTA V (Rockstar) 5. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo) 6. Super Mario 64 (Nintendo) 7. Tetris (Dorodnitsyn) 8. Gran Turismo 5 (Polyphony) 9. Counterstrike (Valve) 10. The Last of Us (Naughty Dog) Other games I contemplated for this list (so, honorable mentions?): Bioshock Infinite Super Mario RPG Desert Combat (an original Battlefield 1942 mod that was bought by EA to make the rest of the games) Conker's Bad Fur Day Donkey Kong Country Medal of Honor Allied Assault GTA 4 GTA San Andreas Mark of the Ninja Super Smash Brothers Contra Command & Conquer Generals Civilization 5 kitacek@idkfa.com (kitacek) Cognitive Surplus Thu, 06 Mar 2014 17:45:31 -0900 http://idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=6120&msg_id=6120
