Best video games

What have been your favorite games?

Arcade Types- Foresaken, Quake2, and Unreal Torurnament

Driving Simulators- Grand Prix Legends- very dated, but still tons of free tracks of just about everything. In second place would be NFS Porche Unlimited(not really a true sim though).
The new GTR2 looks exceptional.

Flight Simulators- IL2 series definitly. In second was IAF but it was pretty buggy.

FPS- Operation Flashpoint Resistance definitly. The first to combind massive non-linear environments, 1-shot kills, interactive vehicles, and tons of free mods. The Rainbow6 and Ghost Recons were fun but quickly got boring.
The next version of OFP is called Armed Assault is is in the process of being released. A screenshot :

I'm an D&D hack-n-slash dungeon-crawl kind of guy, myself. I actually got my wife into it.

I have to ask what that picture is, though. I've never seen anything so realistic. It for a PC?

I really like the SOCOM games on the Sony PSP. It has a real time headset feature and I really like to ba able to walk out into the kitchen to get a Mt. Dew without having to set my M16-A2 down.

I'll second Grand Prix Legends. Like you say it might be old, but it will keep you busy for ever. It took me months to get even remotely close to a 10 minute lap of the 'Ring.

RTS: Homeworld (1 and 2) hands down.

Flt Sim: Jane's WWII - excellent modeling, as you would expect from Jane's. Also like the Boeing 314 Sim.

Do you have SOCOM fireteam Bravo on the PSP? I am saving up for the sequel right now. I play almost every night from 8-11PM. I need help…Hi, my name is Shawn, and I am a virtual Navy Seal…

The best FPS I have played is Halflife 2. Better than Doom 3 and Quake 4. I would also say the Far Cry comes in a close second.

I bought an XBOX 360 about 2 months ago. So far I have:

Madden 07 (pretty good football game, haven't tried online yet)
Tiger Woods 07 (I actually play this one the most, of course I am a golf nut too though)
Gears of War (I just bought this one last week. The graphics on a HDTV are friggin amazing...I like the multiplayer although I must say I am a little disappointed.)


PC Favorite: Probably the original Call of Duty or the original Command and Conquer. Geez, I spent a lot of sleepless night playing C&C...

I am thinking about buying Call of Duty 3 for the XBOX 360, but I have seen some stuff on the net that says it is a pretty buggy game at this point. Prolly hold off and play Gears of War for a while.

I'm waiting for a really good driving game to come out for 360, haven't seen too much yet. There is also a college basketball game coming out in a couple weeks that looks promising.

I've got to say...I had fun last year playing the new Zelda and Metroid games.

Yes, I know I am stuck in 1985.
