Your Favorite Games

from Sins Forums
Well guys, we have a brand spankin' new forum here, time to start kicking off discussions eh! I'd like to start out this new forum by asking a simple question, whats your favorite game(s)? I don't just mean computer games, this could extend to sports, console games or even board games!

I'll start off, in "real life" I'm a crew athlete, meaning I row boats, which barely qualifies as a game, but I love it anyway. I also play ice hockey and roller hockey and love that too. Of the two, hockey gives more bruising, but it doesn't rip up my hands as much as crew :\

Homeworld was perhaps my all time favorite computer game. Its innovative 3d environment, superb graphics, amazing music/sfx, brilliant strategy/tactic mix and of course, the story all made this game a real winner. Other great games (IMO) for computer of course are: Halo, BF2 and Starcraft.

Chrono Trigger was my favorite console game ever, it was simply amazing....


Lets go guys, lets see what brought you to SINS!

Galactive Civ I was an outstanding game that kept my attention for several years. GCII has not captured my attention as much yet, mainly because I keep running into game killing bugs that make you throw the game away after sometimes a week of play. Hopefully Sins will be fully debugged when released.

Fairly simple really. There have only been two games in my life worth years of replaying. Homeworld and Gothic. In fact I was talking with a dev for a popular RTS series about the failings in his game, especially single player campaign. I told him to play the Gothic series to learn how a story should be told and played out within a game, giving you total immersion. Then I told him to play original Homeworld so he could see how a story can truly drive RTS play. And I told him to LISTEN to the sounds, music etc.

After he took my advice and played them both, he was stunned at how good something can be.

They say the first step to becoming a good author is to read everything you can get your hands on. The first step to becoming a good game developer is probably to play everything you can get your hands on.

If you make a game in a vacuum, you may not realize that other people out there have upped the ante. Then you make a mediocre product, and wonder what went wrong.

but then again, hermatizing brings with it originality, and god knows the game industry needs originality.
