Since most of us here are talking about the future of gaming, why don't we take a look back at some of our favourite game over the past few years.
Now before I give my top games I want you to know I have judged my games on how much I enjoyed them at the time they were out. It is not some game versus another at the present time.
Also I am quite young so I have not played every game over the past few years, so please do not reply about what games you should be in my list, just create your own. Thank You.
1. Transport Tycoon - It was one of the first games I owned and it still holds a special place in my collection.
2. Red Alert Series - These game are always a joy to play even if you are against war.
3. Championship Manager Series - even if it is a spreadsheet game it has always been the best manager game around.
4. Hidden and Dangerous - The game speaks for itself really.
5. Rollercoaster Tycoon - That man Chris Sawyer did it again, top class game.
Now I only choose 5 PC games, feel free to reply to as much games as you wish for any type of console.

Hidden and Dangerous is a great game, I am looking forward to the sequel. RCT is great too.
The Monkey Island series are a great bunch of games, and are real good fun to play.
Grim Fandango is superb. The style and characters are unbelievable, and the noir plot is wonderful.
X Wing series. I just seem to be listing Lucasarts games.. :)
Err. Midtown Madness is my favourite racing game, Dungeon Keeper 2 is great, Unreal Tourny, Jedi Knight...
Warcraft 2 was my favourite ever strategy game. Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine is amazing (Truly amazing, the textures and work on the temples is astounding.)
Freespace 1 and 2 deserve a mention too. Deus Ex, Half Life, I could go on all day...

HI GRIX! I was going to put Midtown Madness because I love it but there was no space. To be honest I have not played Monkey Island even though I was going to buy it once. Yes I forgot about Warcraft 2 that is outstanding, actually I should have gave my top 10.
When you think real hard about it, there are hundreds of great games out there...
Come on reply to my forum I want to see what games you all like? and it is boring talking about the XBox I hate Bill Gates!
my list of great games starts with Metal Gear Solid. best game hands. no if, and or ya-buts about it.
2 Rainbow Six series
3 Grand Turismo
4 Madden 2001
and rounding out the top 5 would have to be horse racing game at the casino. where you bet on which one of the little toy horsies run around the track the fastest. It's really cool.
alas who really cares what i think?

My best games list changes on a weekly or even daily basis, depending on the mood I am in.
At the moment I still love to play Tony Hawks, even though it is not the best game in my collection. I love Half-Life and have already re-played it through, and Revolt is also a favorite of mine. The other games I play all the time are Nights on the Saturn and Soul Caliber on DC.
The problem is that some days I feel like playing a game and others I feel bored with it, but if I were to trade it in then I'd probably want to play it again the week after!

Hey! What's going on! No one has mentioned greats like Zelda, Final Fantasy, Legend of Mana etc.
My personal favourite has got to be Sega NiGHTS- the game that should have saved the saturn. I've been trying to buy a saturn with an analogue controller just for this game, but never seem to have enough money!
Other favourites are the Zelda series, Sonic (well, just look at my name!) and Gran Turismo.
So, let's start a newish topic... who do you think is the greatest games producer/creator ever? Mine's Yugi Naka (Sonic Team), but I also like Shigeru Miyamoto (Zelda/Mario/Donkey Kong) and Yu Sukuki (AM2).

The games I really like are puzzle games, shoot 'em ups, and games that I can just play again and again.
I don't have like a top ten or anything...
Zelda. Where would I be without this game. this the fist game I bought for my N64,it's sort of puzzly, and I can play it again and again. I also the Zelda thats on the Gameboy, but not on the SNES cos I had no money to buy the SNES, and my parents though I was to young for comuter games then. They know nothing!
The Sims and Sim City 3000. I love games like these. On the Sims i just get a person, and see how many ways I can kill them!
MTV Sports Snowboarding for the Playstation. I'm a fan of the Playstation, but Snowboarding is fun, I can play it again and again, there's some great music on it, and the things the people say when they fall over are absolutley hillarious.
Perfect Dark, and Goldeneye. Goldeneye is just a classic game, and it's one of the reasons I bought it. Perfect Dark is good too, better graphics, more guns, more functions for it, should be made into a movie, but is not a great a classic as Goldeneye.
Mario Kart. I firstly bought this because I drove my dad round the bend with the shooting from Goldeneye, but now I play it with friends when they come over. I can hide all my other games, and then my friends don't think I'm a freak!
