I'm going to base this mostly on what has sucked most of my time so No 1 for
me is easy
IL2 Forgotten Battles and Expansions: Simply the best flight sim ever, with
Lowengins campaign mod to liven up what out of the box is a rather dull
single player experience it is sublime. You can fly not only for the major
powers on maps ranging from France to Hawaii but also take to the skies for
Finland and Rumania if the need takes you. And considering the final free
upgrade patch came out just a few months ago 5 1/2 years after the game was
released you cant fault the developers commitment to the title. Where it
really shines tho is in Multiplayer, there are a hundred plus servers still
out there catering for novices to aces not to mention hundreds of squadrons
teaming up for some online action. I have spent alot of my time on a
smallish New Zealand server and can say its by far the best online
experience I've ever had. Probably the only thing it would lose points for
now is that since it was hacked and mods made available it caused a lot of
confusion with different servers requiring different things to join.
Since Cronos cheated my No 2 is going to be the Total War series. I know
there are alot of things there that the purists whine about but I say they
can suck it. For sheer enjoyment on an ever increasing scale this series is
tops and unlike the Civ series the developers realised they were putting in
too much needless fluff and cleaned up TW:Empires nicely
No 3 isn't an easy choice but I'm going to go with Star Wars KOTOR: I first
got this on the X Box and was stunned, I sat up all night playing it, went
to work next day and fired it up again as soon as I got home. I dont think
I'd done that ever. Graphics, sound and UI were acceptable but no more,
where it really won (like most Bioware titles) is an excellent storyline
that compelled me to carry on to see what happens next. And for the record
I did not see the plot twist coming. Shame about its sequel......
Near miss awards would go to
X wing Alliance, released 1999
Crysis, I like it better than Farcry, even the end
Elder Scrolls Series, no reason, just the three I picked are better
Fallout Series, ditto
System Shock 2, probably because I never could get it to run on an XP system
Developer of the decade is a draw between Bioware and Bethesda, have either
of these two ever made a dud?
Biggest disapointments of the decade
Farcry 2, love it or hate it the title is nothing but a cheap marketing
trick
Bioshock, similar reason, trying to hype it as a spirital succesor to SS2
when it was anything but
Silent hunter 3 and 4. Great titles, shame you have to wait 1 or 2 years
for them to be patched and modded
