You missed Urban Terror. That game might have old graphics, but the gameplay is awesome.

Great article. Damn I loved the witty nature of No One Lives Forever series. Screw FEAR, bring the old gems back.

Majora's Mask nailed the problem of water levels to me. Using the Zora mask made swimming fast and fluid, something most games don't do. I didn't think the Water Temple in OoT was that horrible, but the slow pace of switching boots and waiting to get down there bored me to death.

It looks like the latest SW games are going downhill in terms of quality. Will LucasArts ever understand that the Dark Forces/Jedi knight series still had plenty of possibilities to be explored in the future? They should think about it, the games in the series were just awesome.

Now that was predictable. I watched one video and the first thought that came to my mind was "crap".

You guys are spot on with Fable. Sheesh I felt it could be so much better than it actually was. Shame on you Molyneux.

To be honest, similarities aside Rare did a good job with Banjo games back then, the titles had a much bigger "charisma", and other details in the gameplay department that made them funnier for me.

You guys say there are still people playing San Andreas. I say there are way more trying Vice City once more. Come on... grinding your skills wasn't exactly fun in SA or anything, same for countless features such as turf wars.

To be honest, I can't believe the rape accusations against Tyson. I mean, he's famous, rich, and a former champion. Doesn't match the profile of men who rape, he can get it for free from plenty from people who would want to get benefits from it.

Dural as a girl? What the heck.

If by "EA continues to support the game" you mean "endless DLCs", you're right.

"Burn the Heretic, Kill the Mutant, Purge the Unclean", indeed Warhammer 40,000 universe adds a lot of spice to any game.

How about Rage? The mix of FPS combat and vehicle combat can be quite fun and refreshing.

Bullfrog and Dungeon Keeper - loved the witty satirical style the series had, shame on you EA for killing it! *clenched fist*

Adeline Software and Little Big adventure games, it's hard to find a title that comes close to LBA, maybe Zelda, but I really miss the unique world and all the lore fluff around it. Come one Frédérick Raynal, we need LBA3. I miss action adventure titles overall, it's like the genre is dying or something. I mean, GTA is nothing like Zelda, please stop classifying it as action adventure. It's more like open-world action.

Shadowrun was really fun, too bad the game has been canned thanks to the lack of titles plus a sub par multiplayer game that should be forgotten and whoever developed it, laughed at.

Freelancer had an accessible way of space combat controls that felt really fresh. A sequel would be nice, pretty please?

Golden Axe... aaah the good and ol' beat em' up. Is it that hard to bring the good stuff back?

Not sure we can call it dead (yet?), how about another Star Fox game? Nintendo, you're not giving any love to your Wii owners.
On that N trend, what happened to the team who created Kirby Superstar? That game was awesome. Translate it to a 3D world and you'll have a happy fanbase waiting for it.

Jedi Knight/Dark Forces series... because slashing people with a saber with directional swinging never gets old, and the force powers were quite balanced in there. Raven did a real good job with the games, but then, we get a Jedi May Cry game from Lucasarts. No thanks, I'll stick with Jedi Outcast.

Secret of Mana sequel, I mean, thanks square for killing the franchise.

I'm going to agree with hot heart and on "good or evil" choices. The world is not that black and white, there got to be more options rather than "chop off this guy's head or donate money to his ill mother".

I mean, Dungeon and Dragons got an interesting alignment system, of nine degrees. I prefer more varied choices than rather 2, not only because this feels unrealistic, but also leaves no room for possible diversity in story, plot twists, it just doesn't make us think about our actions and the following consequences. Even a kid can understand the differences in the results of your choices in Fable, for example. That's shallow.

I hope they don't screw up. PoP Sands of Time got one of the best game stories ever, it's up to him to make it live to its potential.

Road Rash? Win!

I really enjoyed how there's a whole story in Half-Life's background, I remember the Nihilanth often mentions unknown parties, and implies there's something else controlling them, as the Combine are a far superior force than what was faced in Xen. Well played, Valve.

Maybe Valve is waiting for their next engine to be complete in order to "showoff" Episode Three. Either way, there's a lot of things to be explained as pointed here so I wouldn't expect it in 2010 even.

All this L4D2 boycott is bs. I bet when they deliver a meaningful sequel, the former whiners will probably laugh at how foolish they were.
