Top 10 Favourite Computer Games

...in my opinions for the top few because they are really the games I know and love. Although everybody likes different types of games, whether it sport, action, adventure, role-play or shooting; I think hearing opinions is the best way to hear about new gaming experiences. I'd like to think this list is useful to many in recommending new games to play, however old they may be. My games come from a range of eras and a range of gaming platforms - remember ...
...game spectacular. Below the top ten list you will find a quick list i typed showing the titles which just failed to make my top ten, but they are not necessarily any worse. I also included the original release date of each title, which is the European or UK date in which the game was first available, if it is on multiple formats then this refers to the date when it was originally released for the relevant original console. The lists of platforms ...

Review of Top 10 Favourite Computer Games

...into my 'honoured' list of top ten? 10 - Galerians (PSOne) Galerians is a weird yet enjoyable RPG Horror Survival game that was released in 2000. What i enjoy so much about Galerians is the unique style the game offers completely going in a different direction to the usual 'Fantasy' element many of today's RPG's opt for. The game evolves as you progress with the main character Rion as he leaves a mental hospital in search of his identity. As you ...
...is creeps in to my top 10 list. 9 - Grandia 2 (Dreamcast / PC / PS2) Released for the Dreamcast in 2000, Grandia 2 pits you as main character Ryudo a mercenary offering jobs for a living. What made this game creep into my top 10 however was the great storyline mixed with the intelligent and original battle system. The game follows Ryudo body guarding Elena, a songstress of the Church as she embarks on her journey to a far away temple. However ...

...ships which descend from the top of the screen. And that's it. --------------- Yes, this is two games, I'm cheating. But this is the computer that I received when I was 4/5, and these games were probably created with the same amount of space as your average e-mail these days, so I think I can get away with it.... Chuckie Egg is a true classic. It has no plot, you control it by going up, down, left, right or jumping......and yet, it’s still to ...

But, the truth is, that the original was a good, original game. You were God in your little sim world, and what you decided went. You could strive to make your sims the happiest, most successful little blighters in the neighbourhood, or you could torture them for the hell of it. You were only really limited by ...

Review of Top 10 Favourite Computer Games

...of all time. Picking the top five was an absolute doddle; sorting the latter five however, was not - there are so many wonderful games I have had the pleasure of playing, and so choosing what should/shouldn't be in and then in what order was a nightmare. I hope you have heard of, or better still, played some of the games that have made the list, and before I start - under each game title I have added Genre, Developer, Year Of Release and Format information ...
...three role-playing games in my top five. This is one of those amazing games that takes you completely by surprise when you play it. I saw it in GAME one day - the box-art didn't stand out from the crowd particularly, the price was merely okay and reviews were of a good-not-great kind, but still I bought it. I didn't stop playing it for a month! Originally released in 1997 on the Sega Saturn, Grandia was ported over to the PlayStation three years ...

...satisfactory order to rank my top ten in, possibly because they're all so different. That being so, I'll just list my top ten in the order that I fished them out of my memory. CHAOS Platform: Spectrum 48/128 Genre: Strategy This Spectrum classic just goes to show that you don't need flashy graphics and massive processing power to produce a brilliant game, you just need a bright idea. In this case, the bright idea is battle of wizards. Choose ...
...and arcade combination. Just to top it off, if you're bored of playing as club teams or national teams, open up the custom team menu to play as the likes of The Movie Stars, Curries, Fruit & Veg, Cars, and many more silly possibilities.

TOP TEN COMPUTER GAMES ---------------------- As anyone that has read any of my ops would know, im a keen games player, this as actually made this an extremely difficult opinion to write, seeing as I have played quite a few in my time. Some of these games are probably not my actual favourites, but are games I have been playing quite a lot recently. Quite a large proportion of these games come from way back in the age of the 8-bit computers, and ...
...get your team to the top spot, which will gain you access to the top division where you will play better teams. The cup is a two legged knockout game, where you play a team twice and the team with the most points after both games goes on to the next round, where you will meet a better team. In between games there is a management side to the game, where you can buy better players or train yours up in the gym. This is a great game to waste a few ...

...is a review on my top ten current-generation games. This basically means all the games on platforms like PS2, Xbox, Gamecube etc. so this won't include consoles like the PSX. I will tell you what they are, what's their storyline and why the are worthy in my top ten. I hope that these choices will help you make a Buying decision. Disagree?

Still, Def Jam:For Ny is on of the most enjoyable games i've played. -(Timesplitters:Future Perfect-EA (Xbox)=9.6)- Timesplitters:FP is the best FPS I've ever played-period. You play as a solider called Cortez. His general sends him back in time to stop the Timesplitters ...

Review of Top 10 Favourite Computer Games

...The Amiga was a top little computer in the days when the PC was still in nappies crapping out games with 16 colour graphics and PC speaker sound. With superb dedicated sound and graphics chips, the graphics pleased the eye, and the sound had you humming game theme all the way down the road to the chippy. With none of this tower/desktop business (on the A500, A600 and A1200 models anyway), your bog standard Amiga was basically an oversized keyboard ...
...And so we reach the top 10! Don’t worry, the guns have returned! Cannon Fodder caused much controversy at the time of it's release, because of the use of the poppy in it's advertising. You see, Cannon Fodder is about guiding a small group of soldiers to complete some war-based goal (killing the enemy or destroying their base) in a very cartoony and fun environment. As with every game involving guns and happy tunes, someone became disgruntled and ...

In these games you basically create your own city, and watch it grow.

There are plenty more games that could have graced this list, but I would have either ran out of space or bored you all to tears by the time I went through them all. If you have any other games you feel I should have mentioned though, feel free to add them to the comments, chances are I've played them. *grins* See you all around!

...into detail of my favourite top 10 online games for the PS2. I have a number of reasons including these and I will now go through my top 10. 1. Area 51 This game has pushed the PS2 to it's limits with it's gameplay and graphics and this is not only what got me amazed with this game. There are a great variety of maps to play online on and the best thing is that most of them are HUGE!! The auto-sizing options is genius because more of the map is ...
...game. The modes available on this game are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Capture and Hold and Infection. My favourite modes are Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Infection. Infection mode is so unique to other FPS games because you start off with being human and eventually one becomes infected with the alien virus and that infected person must go round and kill the remaining humans until all are infected to start a new round. Another ...

...a day here. Overall, a top game though. 9: Carmageddon - PC I'm not really into car games, or cars for that matter, and if you're not, this could change your mind, going into this game I thought "time to waste until I can go on the net for free" But when the time came for me to login, I didn't, I continued to play, and played all night, I didn't even go on the net that night, and anyone who knows me, should know, that is a rare occurance for me! ...
...said really, your car can take a huge amount of abuse, but still come out looking nice and new, which is big time benefficial for a crap controller like me! You can ride up cliffs then land in another state, fall of the side of mountains, and continue to float in the ocean below. You can run over zombies and all things alike, infact, you can run them over, push their carcus' up a ramp and then into a lamp post, which will of course, fall down, crush ...

Review of Top 10 Favourite Computer Games

I’ve been thinking long and hard about this category, after all I am addicted to games and have been since we first got a computer way back in 1992. How do you choose 10 games that could be considered ‘favorites’? Well, firstly I’ve decided to pick the games I’ve played several times and still come back to simply because of their addictive game play. I couldn’t really tell you which order I prefer these games because I don’t honestly know myself ...
...– The Mandate of Heaven. This game is produced by 3DO New World Computing and I’ve played it so many times I know the story by heart. Your job is to save the planet by destroying the enemy – simple! The game play is simple and the graphics are lovely, it was haled as a leader when it was released in 1996. With a simple interface and dual combat that could be played as turn-based or real-time it doesn’t lose its appeal despite its age. Wizardry 7 ...

Review of Top 10 Favourite Computer Games

Right I have been fairly into games ever since as long as my hands have fit around the control pad, I have liked some really cheesy ones, such as crazy golf on the ZX Spectrum (A computer that although cassette based, was well ahead of it's time, I somehow do not think lol). I have also liked some strange games that don't often get mentioned in these reviews from what I have read so far anyways. What you will find with me is that I tend to dislike ...
...here) bone off, such as the Playstation, and the PS 2, I just feel that although they produce hundreds of games, that too many of them quite frankly just isn’t that good, I feel that the Dreamcast is an excellent console, but it just never got the recognition it deserved, as was the case for the Nintendo 64. However, I will try and make this opinion fair and not just linger around those 2 consoles. Enjoy! PS. I don't intend on boring people with ...

Carmageddon –TDR 2000-PC I am not usually a fan of this type of game but this has something, which keeps me coming back for more. You start off with a low powered and poorly armored car, and have to smash, crash and race your way through a series of races and ...
...there you have it my Top Ten Games of all Time, you will probably disagree with many of my choices, but hey that is to be expected. Everyone has there own tastes, likes and dislikes that is what makes us human, but looking back through my list one thing is obvious, it is not the graphics and sound effects that make a game great, it is Game play. Something, which is sadly missing in many of today’s offerings. ...

...very big list. So, the top pocket: that’s got all the items, which you must keep, like keys and passes etc. You cannot get rid of these. The middle pocket, to end with, is the other un-droppable items like fishing rods and the bicycle. These are not essential, but good. One note about these items: you can ‘equip’ them to the select button, so you only have to press select instead of going into the menu. I also think my squad is ...
...Nintendo’s lardy plumber producing a top class performance on the tennis courts. After the sublime Mario Golf, Camelot has made another game worthy enough to be part of the Mario franchise. The first time you play Mario Tennis, the game mechanics seem to be a bit simple. For a start, only two buttons are used when playing. When you press the button, your character remains locked in position to power up the shot. When the tennis ball is within ...
