I see Starcraft is getting a lot of votes. I've always preferred it to Warcraft, as it seems others do also. Infact, I've misplaced my copy of Warcraft III.

Yeah, to heck with Xbox and PS. Bring me Gauntlet, Tron, and Punch-Out in a good old-fashioned arcade (do they even have those anymore?)

I'll see some video games in those AMC movie stadiums that are as big as the Rose Bowl. Other than that, I don't see video arcades anymore. Better part of my teenage years were spent chain feeding quarters (or tokens) into a Zaxxon machine. That and Asteroids were my favorite. I remember getting a high enough score to input my initials, but always opted for YYZ. I'm sure every Rush fan did that, though.

It's almost impossible to pick 5 favourite games, but these are the games that I probably got the most game play out of:

Age of Empires II
Carmageddon
Rome: Total War
Timesplitters Future Perfect
Unreal Tournament

I've always had a soft spot for heavily plot based games, of which my favourites are:

Resident Evil Remake/1, 2, 3 and Code Veronica
Silent Hill 1,2 and 3
Metal Gear Solid
Max Payne 2
Baldur's Gate

You'll laugh at me, but...

1. Quake 3 Arena Big%20smile

2. Red Alert 2
3. Call of Duty

I never played any CounterStrike since I saw Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down, but it was a top game for me back then.

1) Final Fantasy X
2) Zelda Ocarina of Time
3/4) Knights of the Old Republic (1 / 2)
5) Kingdom Hearts
5) Final Fantasy XII
5) Fable

There are so many games I Played when I was much younger that I don't remember now, and there are so many that look amazing that I don't have money to buy, so my 5 is a very limited view.

(Selling KOTOR was one of the worst moves I ever made...I want to replay it so badly lately!)
