The most legendary games EVER!!

legendary? battle city is the best. lol. i still love tanks in battle. but my most favorite (console) game is "Legend of Mana" at PSX. and starcraft was the very first PC game i've ever played so starcraft will always get my vote.

 

OMG Legend of Mana rulez.


Also, pretty much any Castlevania game. They're the best action/platforming/puzzle game a guy could ask for.

 

where the hell is kotor?!? best RPG of all time just about

 

God of War is without a doubt legendary
gameplay, art, weapons, level design, puzzles, innovation, badass-ness

 

CYCLOPS EYE RIP.

 

hoooooooly shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit that was so sweet....the first time I saw you could rip people in half I was like OMFG

that and playing with people like yo-yos by grabbing them in midair, stabbing them, throwing them to the ground, pulling them back to you and bashing your fist into their faces

and then repeated it in varying and incrementally increasing instances every time a new enemy were introduced (minotaur, centaur, ogres with bone clubs at the entrance to the Temple) and then all of them all over again after you get the you-know-what

 

O + Triangle was just fun on the tutorial level.

GRAB. COMPLETELYDESTROYEDBYTEARINGINHALF.

 

RTS- SC
FPP- Doom, AvP2, Halo 1, System Shock
SpaceSim- Freespace 2
RPG- Planescape Torment

 

I'm surprised nobody's listed Duke Nukem for anything yet. Ah well.

 

I don't play much games, especially games on the other platforms. So my list kind of suck.

Super Smash Brothers - always good fun and good laughs, one of my retarded friend even swallowed his retainer down his throat because he was laughing too hard.

Grand Theft Auto, VC and SA - This is always the perfect to burn time. Drive around killing people. The story in better in Vice City though. I don't like San Andreas's story but the maps are just excellent.

Midnight Club 2 - ever wondered where my name originated from? This is a street racing game, it's also the first game that took the title of "my favourite game ever" from Starcraft. This game is not like the crappy Need for Speed series. It's a really sick street racing game, really makes you feel like part of the story. And it's made by the same company that made GTA, so you know it's good!

CPAL (the legend of the sword and fairy) - an RPG, a very very good and touching storying line. This is my first "favourite game ever", but was knocked off the title by Starcraft.

Street Fighter series - yes yes this is like old, but I still have heaps of good memories of playing it.

Starcraft - saved the best til last

 

WHERE IS SUPER SMASH BROTHERS MELEE!?!?!?!?! all these super smash brothers but no melee >< and then dont forget brawl once it comes out and sc of course.

 

@Fenix

lol. yeah it rulez! too bad they didn't make a sequel at the PS2 platform. speaking of castlevania, my friend told me that there's a secret castle at symphony of the night. have you ever found it?

 

You know, I've actually never played Symphony of Night, but I seem to recall hearing about a reverse castle......That might be a different one, but it's a reflection of the regular castle with enemies twice as strong I believe.

 

yeah that's right. lol. i've never even found it.

 

Super Mario 64.

This game is so unique because of how it's now linear at all and almost every star can be reached in a non-legit way.. watching a speedrun of this game is often better than watching the average movie.

The first time I played SM64 (which is not so long ago) I was septical (sp?) but it's not in my top10 video games.

you gotta add this to your list.. it's a platform game right?

it's one of the game that makes the N64 needed for any gamers.

 

I actually recently found a Gamepro that had like the 52 most revolutionary games of all time on it. SC was like number 19, the highest FPS was Goldeneye I believe (2nd highest was Doom), surprisingly WoW was number 4, Ocarina of Time was number 3, GTA3 was number one I believe. It was actually quite interesting.

 

I second Diablo as the great RPG ever...

For best THIRD person shooter I nominate RE4... Because its the only one I've played... Unless the MGS games count?

 

Civilization 2 was the first game I could play hours on end and still love it. Civ 4 nearly matched it, but it couldn't live up to it's predecessor.

Starcraft is the single greatest RTS i've ever played and I would still be playing it if not for my pesky router and those meddling kids.

Doom introduced me to RTS and for that, I will always regard it as a legend, as it really did revolutionize FPS.

Many of you will prolly not consider it as such, but really it was an innovator and one of the only other games that could have me playing from morning till night. Battlefield 1942. Amazing game. Simply amazing. (BF2 is probably my favourite FPS currently, however, it's not really a legend as its fairly recent.)

Command & Conquer Original for introducing me to RTS and to the single most wicked selection for in-game music. I still have C&C Thang on my computer and is now one of my ring-tones.

Rainbow Six. The first true tactical FPS and it was just downright pimp. Vegas looks to be amazing as well, and I'll be buying that shortly.

Oh and RPGs? Theres three that standout in my mind as being both legends in their time and as being some of the greatest games you can still play and enjoy to this day.

Chrono Trigger. Single greatest RPG i've ever played in my life. I've yet to find one that tops it. My favourite game to play on my emulator and nothing can really compare.

Baldurs Gate 1 & 2. Single greatest storyline i've ever been emersed in while playing an RPG. And the flexibility of what you could do was just astounding.

Though technically an "Action Adventure" it's been classified as an RPG several times. Zelda. I own every single one except for the gameboy/DS/GBA versions. It's the one game that can have it's story re-hashed over and over and still be the greatest game of the year.

 

Heroes of Might and Magic 2. Nuff said.

 

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for me. It was the first strategy game I think I ever played. My favorite memory was playing it with one of my friends in a room recently painted, Listening to sensamia street over and over, laughing every time. I think that's when I lost the ability to do math.

Anyway, the second best was Homeworld. Starcraft comes in at third.
Civ4 was awesome with a nuke mod (destroyed cities completly)

And as for Age of Empires...
Three is proabably the best. I still play it with my friends (Russia FTW).
You could throw in Resident Evil if you wanted to...but it was more fun to watch than play. Try playing it at three am with 4 people watching you...

"Go into the damn the closet wiene boy!"
"No, something is going to kill me!!!"
"Go!"
"Fine, jebus, fine!"
*Creak*
"Look, nothing happened"
"Shut it. How do you move this box?!?"
"I don't know!"
"Go read it online"
"It just says push the box"
"Dammit, that doesn't help!"
30 minutes later
"Oh, you have to press A"
"!@#&$%*%($U%#*@%&#%*^&"
