Ok, so 'masterpieces' is an overstatement. They are both really good though and I like them.

Goldeneye, first real time sink Perfect Dark, easily best split-screen on N64 NFS Underground 1, 2 and Most Wanted Minecraft, even though I suck at it Hitman series, so much replay value GTA series, 3 thru 4, the golden years :) Far Cry 2, its a love hate thing Test Drive Unlimited, TDU2...

Studio Ghibli is excellent, Princess Mononoke is very environmentally minded, but is a truely impressive film, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is similar, but is just amazing in the visuals (considering it is from 1984). Grave of the fireflies is possibly both the saddest and happiest...

Besides Ghost in the Shell: Texhnolyze and Serial Experiments Lain are two I always suggest to people sick of Naruto and Pokemon-type anime, simply because they are so different and thought provoking (one is about the end of the mankind and the other is about ... just watch it). Lain raised...

At the end of the day it is still just Hollywood movie in game form. Why won't anyone publish Six Days in Fallujah, a survival horror/fps with a fully destructible environment and made with the help of the people that were really there. We all keep talking about pushing the medium forward but...

On N64 the Perfect Dark cartridge decided it would erase all its save data. I had a like 32 DAYS logged in the Combat Simulator mode. I still play it every now and then but I haven't got anywhere near that now. Also, all the controllers handle like shit now and it makes playing games ALOT harder...

Perfect Dark on the 64. I have clocks WEEKS of playtime on that game. We need more games with bots and co-op.

MW2: even ignoring the single player, WHERE THE HELL IS MY DRAGUNOV BITCHES!?!?!?!?!?! Bad Company 2: wouldn't run on my pc, gave it to my brother, who had unlocked everything in less than a week. Far Cry 2: I love it but it needs mods soooo bad to fix all the bullshit choices the...

Me too, I've always believed in aliens and that movie fucked me up. Especially when mr crazy-beard Phoenix is in the closet watching the news and that alien turns to the camera. Also the foot in the crop and when it stands on the roof are freaky too. And now I'm going to be jumpy all night...

The problem is that true legends (as in something that the majority considers great for many years to come) are never realized in their time. They are always something unique that went against the grain at first, but then defined a whole new genre or style or cliche in the process. Then of...

I usually just play through on the easiest difficulty first and then bump it up once I have finished it once, that way I know what to expect, and must games don't change much between difficulties. Now I'm in uni and have a part time job and drive around alot so I don't get as much downtime as I...

Most of CoD MW2. No SDK for Far Cry 2. Unskippable cutscenes. Especially before a hard bit or boss fight. Thats just poor design guys. As is the lack of instant save and still having loading screens. This ain't the 80s, I have shit to do bitches. Realistic shooters that aren't, you...

First game ever played would've been on the school computers in primary school in the late 90's, either SimCity or some wireframe tank game on a Mac. First game I clocked was Aladdin on the Sega Mega-Drive/Genesis. I still don't know how I beat Jafar cause I haven't done it since...

These two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Atkinson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Conroy ... beaten to death with a PC keyboard. Its a little scary how quickly I came up with that answer.

One of my favourite games of all time is Ascendancy, which I now play for free with DOSBox. Also, Aliens Resurrection on PSOne and a few cool games on the Mega Drive/Genesis (like that Mech-Warriors/Battletech one). I still play these games fairly regularly because they are good games. Even...
