5. The Thing

I wanted to love it, but I'll be damned if it wasn't bugged 5 ways to Sunday.

The triggers which automatically turned your men into Things despite testing them mere instants before hand made me simply leave them outside in the cold to die, or blow their heads off.

in no order:

C&C Red Alert 1

Total Annihilation

Heroes of Might and Magic II

Duke Nukem 3D

Carmageddon + Splat Pack

I can't believe some people here putting stuff like Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect 2 as BEST games of ALL time. Not trying to pick on specific people, it's just a general observation.

I've only really started properly playing games since 2001-ish. OFP was literally my first PC game. And in all honesty, since 2001, the 5 non-BIS games I listed have been the ones that have had the biggest impact on me, and I don't think it's possible to say that any of them weren't special in some way.

Half-Life 2 was special because of many factors, namely how cinematic it was and its impressive physics engine for the time. Mass Effect 2 is special because of how it has essentially mastered the technique of story-telling in a video game (in my opinion). Batman: Arkham Asylum is special because it's the only good Batman game since the SNES one, and it's actually very good at that. Spider-Man 2 was special because it, along with GTA 3, introduced the world to a 3D open-ended "playground" environment, and mastered the way to control a character such as Spider-Man in such an environment. Finally, I think Call of Duty 4 was special because of both its storyline (albeit short) and, of course, its multiplayer which I still play to this day. It's a shame what's happened to the brand since it, though.

I forgot to put in my top 5 'Links Championship Edition' - the golf sim. I've consistently kept a version of Links on my HD since 1997 (or thereabouts). Courses are still being produced - some really beautiful work, both to look at and play. It's tended to be my first install after the OS on new computer builds.

I have a 4 CD Version of 1998 or 1999 I believe.

Battlefield 1942 (Still play it)

Joint Operations (Great, semi-realistic FPS with huge maps and support for 150 players)

finally some more people mention WiC :)

WiC has got to be my favorite RTS. I've also been involved with the Modern Warfare mod, those guys are essentially bringing ArmA-style realism into WiC.

I've also been working on my own mod, called Red Storm Rising.

[/shameless advertising]

I wish we could have named more than 5 games, there are a few more which I love but didn't include.

Can you use the mod in the SP campaign?

Not right now, but you can use it on Skirmish against bots and there is official dedicated server support for it.

I remember having an alpha build where you had T-90s in one of the campaign missions so perhaps that might be planned for a later time. I've been out of touch with the rest of the Dev team, spending most of my time playing ARMA. :yay:

1. Mafia (PC version)

EDIT: I just wanted to add that Mafia has as much to do with Mafia 2 as CWC has to do with Dragon Rising or Red River.

My brother has the Mafia 2 demo, I must admit I never played Mafia 1, however Mafia 2 doesn't look all that bad. Except that they completely overdid bloom effects and now 12PM looks like shit.

And I am glad to see some other Joint Ops fans here. Too bad that game died an early death, it had serious potential.
