[Adrenaline]

I did not even know IGN had one of these. I have played most of the games listed, solid choices.

I scanned the list and it looked like more console titles on there than PC titles. That is why I posted it here.

Anyways, I thought the list would provide some people here with a small insight to games that are good and may want to try out.

You missed Contra.

Oh, Grim Fandango, you make me want to assemble a Pentium-class computer to play you again.

Doom, Half Life, Prince of Persia, and Sid Meier's Pirates! were all released on console as well.

Ya know, there's quote a few Lucas Arts games on that list, most of which I never got to play.

Contra was an original console game though. The others were not.

Yeah, that was the point on my bolding. Metal Gear Solid had a PC version, I think Resident Evil might have as well. I'm fairly sure Sonic, Space Invaders, Ms. Pac-Man, Tetris, and even Street Fighter have PC versions as well.

Sonic defenitely does because I have it.

Good list

Contra is definitely an amazing game. I hope Rainbow Six Vegas 2 makes it into that list one day. Those are the only 2 games my Dad has ever played, good times.

 

[gar655]

Huh! No System Shock? The list is incomplete then and therefore of no use.

Still one of my faves. It actually does run on Vista. 64-bit to boot.

They missed a few, but that's a great list.

AFAIK, this is a continuing feature. They add new games every so often. It's far from complete.

I really should play System Shock 2. I had never even heard of it when it came out. Not sure why, I played Thief, and they were made by the same company. Should probably also pick up BG or BG 2. I lot of the other's I've played.

Yeah I'm fairly certain its an ongoing thing. I think its a great idea, less pointless arguing than the "greatest _______ games" lists.
