    http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=57489

    10 - SingStar (Sony/Studio London, PS2)
    9 - Burnout 3: Takedown (EA/Criterion, PS2/Xbox)
    8 - Halo 2 (Microsoft/Bungie, Xbox)
    7 - Rome: Total War (Activision/Creative Assembly, PC)
    6 - Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (Konami, PS2/Xbox/PC)
    5 - Metroid Prime: Echoes (Nintendo/Retro Studios, Cube)
    4 - Ninja Gaiden (Microsoft/Tecmo, Xbox)
    3 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Rockstar North, PS2)
    2 - The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay (Vivendi/Starbreeze/Tigon, Xbox/PC)

    As i buy most if not all my games by Egs reviews interesting i have 8 of the games there with the lack of an Xbox making the 2 i dont have have (altho Ninja Gaiden be my reason to get one)

    Dunno about Riddick have it on PC good game but not better than GTA or D3 but other wise good solid list (yes i have singstar and its really good or so the kids tell me)

    not having a ps2 or 'cube gives me 4 games - 3 xbox and HL2 for the pc.


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

    10 - SingStar (Sony/Studio London, PS2) Yup, great for drunken parties
    9 - Burnout 3: Takedown (EA/Criterion, PS2/Xbox) Absolute class, and we haven't even done much on Live
    8 - Halo 2 (Microsoft/Bungie, Xbox) Enjoyed the single player but the multiplayer improvements are where it's at
    7 - Rome: Total War (Activision/Creative Assembly, PC) Not yet but I plan on getting it
    6 - Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (Konami, PS2/Xbox/PC) Played a little of it but was impressed
    5 - Metroid Prime: Echoes (Nintendo/Retro Studios, Cube) Must.. get.. GC
    4 - Ninja Gaiden (Microsoft/Tecmo, Xbox) Too bloody hard
    3 - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Rockstar North, PS2) Waiting for PC version as I enjoyed Vice City so much
    2 - The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay The game famous for being better than the license it came from, haven't played it yet but heard great things.
    (Vivendi/Starbreeze/Tigon, Xbox/PC)
    1 - Half-Life 2 (Vivendi/Valve, PC) Bang on, best FPS I've ever played bar none


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,762 ✭✭✭WizZard


    Have HL2, Halo 2, Rome: Total War.
    Don't have a PS2... yet ;)


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


    6/10 and planning on getting burnout 3.

    Don't ever insult ninja gaiden.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,152 ✭✭✭sound_wave


    4 of em, Prime, Halo 2, Pro Evo 4, GTA:SA

    might get ninja gaiden only €30 in game at the moment i think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Five and half. Got Burnout 3, Halo 2, PES4, GTA:SA, Chronicles of Riddick. Had Ninja Gaiden but lent it to a thieving bastard before I had a chance to play it properly, might get it again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭IamtheKing


    1

    All I've got is a Gamecube so I missed out on everything else..... :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,894 ✭✭✭Mr. Fancypants


    7. Havent got a PS2 and havent picked up Riddick yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    The Chronicles of Riddick??
    who could this be at number 2
    it took me about 6 hours to complete it
    the game engine is awful ( on pc anyway )

    very poor value for money

    its at number 26
    i'm fairly miffed with #1 and 2 tbh. riddik seems fairly "meh" from what i've played of it. and half-life 2 was a bit of a letdown. (a good game. but not worthy of 10 out of 10)


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


    Only Metroid out of that lot for me. Completed it last night :D


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


    have 4 of em. pro ev, burnout, halo 2, mp2. intend on gettin half life 2 and maybe ninja gaiden.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 807 ✭✭✭ViperVenoM


    all but metroid..dont want a GC ..been on it before...hated it

    9 will do me :)


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


    Farcry was a bit meh for me. Trigens were silly and got a little boring killing the human baddies after a while. Didn't get bored of the god awful enemy speech though, 'I'm going to shoot you in the face!' :D

    i agree but it was alot better than ricddick


  • Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 14,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭monument


    I have four, have no interest in playing two, played one, and intending to play the other three.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall


    5 outta the ten. Dont own a PS2 or a Cube so thats pretty good :)


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

    Riddick is a much better game than Far Cry.
    Far Cry is/was so overrated by most people it makes me cry.

    Sorry, gotta disagree with you there - best game I've played all year - bar none. The sense of actually competing with a viable AI was fantastic. I think Riddick was a little one dimensiona, but good nonetheless.
    Also thought Fable should've been higher that 29 FFS!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,307 ✭✭✭ionapaul


    Got 2 of 10 - Half Life 2 and Rome: Total War. Waiting to finish HL2 before starting into Rome. Only play 30 minutes a night so that might be a while. Plus got the COD Deluxe Edition for Christmas as well so have that to look forward to :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 930 ✭✭✭-oRnein9-


    Singstar, GTA San Andreas and Halflife 2, don't own Pro evo 4 but I play it very frequently in a mates


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭Stormfox1020


    Have 6 games mentioned. GTA: SA, Halo 2, Pro evo 4, Ninja Gaiden, burnout 3 and Riddick. Im a bit niffed that Star Ocean didnt place higher than it did. Game of the Year imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,023 ✭✭✭[CrimsonGhost]


    People are seemingly miffed at lots of games not being there. There was a top 50 compiled by eurogame.net. People should check it out if they haven't already.

    I've got four and I'm not really too fussed about the rest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭Khalim


    I've got two - Rome: Total War and Pro Evolution Soccer.

    Unfortunately, I cannot play most of the other games because FPS causes me to go all nauseous. Anyone knows of a cure?

    hmm i guess its motion sickness
    i dont know of any cure, must be awful though fps is a great genre of game


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 345 ✭✭Khalim


    i don't really mind about not playing FPS, but i so want to be able to play Vampire: Bloodlines.

    I have the copy sitting on my desk - taunting me "You are not worthy"

    or maybe its all in my head.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    i thought it was an awful game
    buggy to the point of almost being unplayable and dull also

    don't know why everybody is complaining about vampires tbh.
    it seemed to run at a nearly acceptable framerate when i tried it on a borrowed raddy 7000. now that i have my 9600pro back, it should be sweet.
    (i've actually gone off pc games now though... hopefully bg&e will get me back into them)

    /edit
    i take that back actually.
    damn thing just crashed as i entered a pawnshop or something
    and you can't have lesbo sex with hookers :(
    major letdown


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,304 ✭✭✭✭koneko


    Bloodlines is SUPER and they've fixed some bugs in the patch. Well worth playing, and it's only 15 euro in Game now (Sale). I'll probably replay it I enjoyed it that much (but that might just be me, I'm crazy).
