2006 Game list Options

[AC9breaker]

So 2007 is finally here and I just realized, we never made our top 2006 games list.
Here's my list.


5. Zelda Twilight Princess
I actually haven't played it but I know its going to be awesome. Would have probably been one had I played it.


4. PSU
What can I say, I loves my PSU.


3. Final Fantasy III
Obviously I never played the original FF3, but for some reason this game brings back alot of feelings of Nostalgia. Touch screen makes it all the more enjoyable for me.


2. Okami
Such an Awesome game, too bad it didn't get the recognition it deserved. really magical, enchanting and charming. I play this game and I'm literally transported to another world. This game is really a Zelda game, made for PS2.



1. Gears of War
I've said this before and I'll say it again. Any game that keeps me activly playing for 6 hours is a winner. Everytime I made a headshot I just had to stick my tongue out to see if the blood would land on it and I could taste alien brain.


*Honorable mentions
Metriod Prime Hunters
Elite Beat Agents
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade

Great topic AC9!
Alot of the games Iplayed this past year weren't so much new, as new to me. So, here is my list. In no particular order (other than what came streaming out of my head).

1. Legend o' Zelda - The Minish Cap
I really loved this game. First off, I loved the fact that it was on the GBA and I could play it anywhere at anytime. Bad TV show that my wife wants to watch? No probs... Hanging out at the coffee shop while the wife studies? No probs... Convenience aside, the game itself also rocked! Moving from normal sized to tiny, Minish sized basically doubled the size of the game. Hack, slash, collect, search, adventure... everything you'd want.

2. Shadow of the Colosus
Wow. This game actually took me away. Transported me. Made me care. Also, I have never been so angry at a video game in my life. The size of the land... the size of the Colossi... epic and awesome. Remember hiding in those caves while the Colossus thunders above you? Seeing his face try to peer down into the hole where you are hiding, he actually looked pissed off that some little nit was bothering him only to get seriously pissed off when he realized that you were stabbing him in the face! Then, just as in Ico, the game takes a wicked turn and everything you're fighting for comes in question. Did you win? Did you do the right thing? ...

3. Half Life 2
Yeah, yeah... I know. But I really liked this FPS. The difficulty wasn't insane so even I could finish it. Plus, I am a huge sci-fi dork and this one had everything I like going on, the near-future - not 10,000 years from now, but maybe 50... 20 even?, the dirty-tech stuff - the giant parts built "Dog" comes to mind, the crazy "overlord" - well... he was just a regular guy, but he was crazy with power!, the humanoid enemies - I prefer my bad guys to look like they could make and use the weapons that they are using. Claws and tenticles can't create a shotgun and they sure as hell can't aim and fire one, and the giant monolithic structure that destroys all in it's path. Not to mention those headcrabs. Boom! Fun times! Put all that together and I'll play.

4. Legend o' Zelda - Four Swords Adventure
See? What did I tell you? I'm talking about the game for the GCN. I loved this game! It was actually fun! Games = fun! I enjoyed everything about it. Hell, I even got stuck on a puzzle or two. I'll admit it! hehe... Whatever, I really liked this game.

I'm having trouble coming up with a 5th game. I'm at work and so I can't remember what games I have. I'll write my 5th one later.

I told you my games wouldn't be new!

Biggest Dissapointment
PSU
Yeah... I said it. Maybe it was because I played the original to death, but I don't think so. Slow progress, Partner Machinery B.S., tiered areas (I just want to fight a dragon but I have to fight my way thru the level before it), weapon selection scaled down, etc. It's still a fun game, but I'm not sure if I like it because of my past with PSO or did my previous experience with PSO hurt this game?
