The Best Game Of All Time

I always thought Ocarina of Time was more gripping. Especially the transformation from young to older. Separate parts but linked quite well. I appreciated the build up here (the sages and fulfilling the triforce) which had a lot more epic feel to it, where Majora's Mask was a bit too dispersed. It starts off with a pretty enlightened note by obtaining the Ocarina the flute like instrument.

I liked the idea of obtaining masks in MM. But the Skull Kid was a pretty underwhelming enemy compared to Ganondorf.

I have to agree with Resident Evil 4. The game play stepped up quite a bit. Diablo II was great as well. Final Fantasy VII was revolutionary with graphics back then, but I've always preferred VIII. VII had the better storyline and characters though. As for GTA... Vice City!

Always wanted to play Half Life but never got to it.

i also prefer VIII over VII

these days, though, X is my fave

that's mostly cos the puzzle-solving bits are good

You're in luck, because this Friday the culmination of a community project to update the original Half Life to a modern graphic engine hits Steam (just need to have a free account and download the necessary files).

It won't contain the entire game yet but from what I've read it covers the entire Black Mesa facility and they estimated a good 8-10 hours of play. It definitely does not have Xen though. Either way I'll be getting it this weekend.

As for the Final Fantasy talk I've always split the games into two camps with 1-6 and 7-infinity. On the old side I'm torn between 4 and 6, essentially better story or better game mechanics. On the new side I'm all about 12, I know a lot of people who call 10 the pinnacle and I tried it but it just didn't do it for me, I just stopped caring to play once I ended up in that dungeon where I had to run around to find all my companions again.

and the Tales series, I only played partway through Tales of Symphonia but it was freaking awesome. Totally different fighting system than any other console RPG I've ever seen and it was handled incredibly well.
