Did you actually name a game in there? :confused:


Oh, and Myst sucks. Plus it sounds more like an opinion question from a noob instead of looking at sales numbers.

there u go, highlighted for people with reading disability :p candenza is the codename for arcade release.
a good review.
btw, ciel does NOT kick ass, more like gets her ass handed to herself around here; what we see instead is a huge rivalry between my nero/kohaku and another dude's shiki. FIY, he won some kind of tekken 4 state championship and seems to like this game A LOT.

EDIT : oops, the review is for the original. lets just say re.act is better in amost every ways. much better voice acting, faster game play and many bug fixes.

only $24 :D

I love it when people say the best game ever is something that came out 4 days ago.

If you count games that aren't out yet...

There's a good chance a lot of people will consider HL2 or WoW the best depending on what genre they like.

Maybe for you who weren't in the Beta :p

Open Beta's starting soon anyways.

No I'm not clueless, I've played it in the first Stress Test. Just doesn't seem right to say a game that's still in beta is the best. Granted I did really like it in the stress test.

I know open beta is coming probably within 2 weeks tops. Good grades may be a distant memory! Heh...

A lot. Return to castle wolfenstein, battlefield 1942, simcity 4 .... and 50 others.
my personal favorite games are the shooters with amazing multiplayer action. 64 player servers ... yumm

Fun wise I'd have to say "Grand Theft Auto:Vice City for PC"
FPS'er wise the "Unreal Tournament series" with Far Cry right next to them
Racing wise Need For Speed: Underground

Those are the only types of games I play. But I still have to say Vice City is the best all around PC game. Its just fun.

I was more addicted to the Command and Conquer series more than anything else.


And I think Max Payne 2 was the best first shooter for a single player.

I still think CS is pretty sweet... for how old it is. I've been playing CS:Source as of late and it rocks too. I can't wait for more content for it though ( Maps, skins etc). I also enjoyed Desert Combat, I was VERY addicted to this for awhile. UT2004 rocks too.

In your opinion yeah but not in most though. I'm mainly going by playing online not single player. I think single player kinda blows in the UT series. Curious which FPS'er you thinks best?
