    How do you rank city of heroes/villians above wow? A game where they charge you full price twice. City of villians should have been a patch or at the very most a cheap exapnsion pack but to go and charge full price again is a joke. Wow is a superior game.

    Jesus, they're really dragging it out to the max this year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    jebus. only 5 of those games are in my collection this year :/
    i really need to get back into gaming again (damn job!)

    44 Kirby: Canvas Curse Excellent game but a bit easy
    43 The Warriors want
    42 Killer 7 Have it but kind of got pushed to the side. Will have to give it another go
    41 Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow Brilliant game. Best vania since SotN
    40 Trackmania Sunrise
    39 Ridge Racer Played it. Found it too easy and repetitive. Launch game overrating tbh

    37 Advance Wars: Dual Strike Want it
    36 Call of Duty 2
    35 Soul Calibur III
    34 Everybody's Golf

    32 Boiling Point
    31 Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance want
    30 Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
    29 The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventure had great fun with this although its a pain to set up for coop play
    28 SWAT 4
    27 Burnout Revenge Have but haven't played it. The last 4 races in Burnout 3 annoyed me immensely and csan't play burnout for awhile
    26 WarioWare Twisted brilliant ancd even more so because I can play it since I broke my wrist
    25 Pro Evolution Soccer 5 great sports game. one of the few I'd give the time of day to
    24 Guild Wars
    23 Meteos like heroine for your DS
    22 The Movies
    21 Nintendogs haven't given it enough time to really rate it
    20 Brothers In Arms: Earned in Blood only got this an hour ago in the sales
    19 Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones see above
    18 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney another great broken wrist game. loving it atm
    17 FEAR loved it. best PC game this year for me
    16 Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan very curious about this
    15 Lumines played a bit of it. not as good as meteos but still a fantastic puzzle game
    14 Mario & Luigi: Lost in Time have but have to finish first game
    13 World of Warcraft i like my life the way it is
    12 Battlefield 2 had some great co-op games of this
    11 We Love Katamari I also love katamari. Buy it
    10 City of Heroes/Villains
    9 Fahrenheit still have to finish it. thought it was great
    8 Zoo Keeper
    7 Mario Kart DS great racing game. pity about the N64 tracks
    6 Civilization 4

    My only big problems with the list are 3 omissions that I doubt will bein the top 5 are Devil May Cry 3, Viewtiful Joe 2 and DoD: Source.

    Predictions for top 5:
    Resi 4 ftw
    Shadow of the colossus (could be no.1 though)
    and God of War will be in there somewhere

    Can't think what else could get in there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    is this the top 50 for 2005 or ever?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,510 ✭✭✭sprinkles


    for 2005.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    5 Ninja Gaiden
    4 God of War
    3 Pscyonauts
    2 Sotc
    1 Res 4


    My guess as those the only really good games not in the list that i can think off.

    Not true, I was sent a CD code by NC Soft for a CoV Game cos I have a CoH account (which wasn't even active) plus you only pay the 1 monthly fee for both games.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,653 ✭✭✭steviec

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Eurogamer top 50 - 5 to 2

    5 God of War
    4 Darwinia
    3 Shadow of the Colossus
    2 Resident Evil 4

    bet nobody expected to see Darwinia in there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭madrab


    wow i thought they would have had sotc as no.1


    darwinia is pretty cool so ill allow it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,836 ✭✭✭Vokes


    Wow! Resi4 NOT #1 :eek:

    Im guessing then either DMC3, MGS3 or DragonQuest maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    ill put a teenner on it NOT being mgs3.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,407 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I put my money on it being none of the 3. I'd say 1 of the eurogamer team have actually played dragon quest VIII although it is fantastic. MGS3 got a bit of a mauling by eurogamer but still got a decent score. Theres loads of flaws with it but it's still great. The Eurogamer team are also mostly dreadful at games and probably didn't quite 'get' DMC3. Also they prefer GoW over it. Can't for the life of me think what it could be. Nothing else on the consoles comes close to Resi 4. Theres nothing better on the PSP and DS than Lumines and Meteos/Mario Kart. All it could be is a PC game I missed (maybe psychonauts) or they are going to plug an average british/independent game like they did with the awful Battle Engine Aquila. It could be San Andreas for PC but it really doesn't deserve to be on the list.

    I don't think so considering the superior SC3 already got a mention.

    Don't think GTA:LCS will get in either. definitely the worst of the 3D GTA's and alsodidn't suit the handheld format.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,894 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    never mind.

    i think it will b dragon quest or else theyll put resi 4 in twice.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,592 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    I can't see past Resi 4 for number 1, quite surprised it didn't get it. It won't go to the xbox port of Half-Life 2, will it?

    Darwinia's inclusion smacks a bit of obligatory left-field entry. It's a decent game , but I honestly don't think it can compare to a lot of other games on that list.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    i say they just put half life 2 in for a laugh.. suppose it did go to xbox this year though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    5 God of War
    4 Darwinia
    3 Shadow of the Colossus [Have it but havent played-pending ICO completion]
    2 Resident Evil 4[Have it, too scary to play]
    1 Street Fighter 3 [Play it everyday] ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,653 ✭✭✭steviec


    *Drumroll*

    No.1:
    Psychonauts!



    Funnily enough, of the top 5 the only two I've played are the 'obscure' ones, Darwinia and Psychonauts. Didn't like darwinia at all to be honest, maybe I didn't give it enough time.

    I couldn't find a bad thing to say about Psychonauts, and yet I never completed it. It just got consumed by my WoW addiction.... I really must try and go back to it some time. It did seem to do just about everything perfectly.

    Out of the other 3, I haven't played God of War because I just have this image of you walking from level to level hitting things, it seems beyond cliched no matter how polished it is. I'm probably wrong but *shrug*

    I have resi 4 sitting next to my PS2, my uncle bought it and played it religiously till he completed it, I watched occasionally and never had the urge to play either, I've never liked Resi for some reason.

    SOTC I really want though, when it comes out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,272 ✭✭✭i_am_dogboy


    Well deserves it, it's good to see originality and humour getting credit. I think darwinia is in it's right place in the top 5 too, it's awkward to get used to but it's hugely charming and the presentation is excellent-not to mention that the little green stick men have more character than most actual characters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    You really need to get playing GoW and RE4 steviec.

    There is much more to GoW than hitting things, but even that is great fun and RE4 is nothing like any other Resi game. I haven't heard of someone yet who doesn't adore RE4 after playing through it.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Havent played Darwinia but the others deserve to be there, Psyco as pimped here by those who got it from US at the time is worthy of a top 3 inclusion but better than Res4? I doubt it psyco is thw pinnacle of 3d platformer it takes everything good from Mario and Banjo and Guywood and makes them better and of course keeps the damn camera that kills you. But its still an amazing game.

    But res4 is i thought was better as its a more straight line linear game, psyco after the 1st 3 levels becomes a simple platformer with a great funny stroy, res turns into a pulsating action game.

    All great games tho cept Darwinia never played that. And is there still no Xbox only game there? Or am i blind?



    kdjac


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,407 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Nope no xbox only game. None deserved it either. It was a terrible year for the box. Strangers Wrath was probably the best and that didn't deserve to be in the list.

    Well now you have! I didn't get the buzz at all. What's so special about it?

    Granted I didn't play it for all that long, but if a game doesn't grip you in the first hour then why you should you bother?

    edit: Whoops, after playing THROUGH it. Oh, okay. Still, if a game doesn't grip you in the first hour then why bother?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,407 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Because it might get better. Frankly anyone I've shown it to or has played it thought that the bit at the start when you are trapped in the village with the villagers and the chainsaw guy after you was one of the coolest videogame moments ever. After that the quality of the game was just as consistently brilliant the whole way through with lots of surprises. I don't know what games you are playing that leaves you unimpressed with Resi 4 but please tell me what they are. Resi 4 is the best game I have played in a very long time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Looking at this list, and release dates on play.com, February's looking like a bit of a pileup! We Love Katamari on the 3rd, Psychonauts a week later, and Shadow of the Colossus on the 24th! Bye bye college!
