Last year's result was awful. Eight Worms games dominated the Top 10.

This year that will not happen.

I have plans which will get things like Deus Ex and Quake III up to the top, rather than all of the Worms series.
First: as before, state your top 10.

I'll post mine when get further in The Movies.

Possibly this would work better if, say, you went for the Top Fifty Game Series?

I have plans which will get things like Deus Ex and Quake III up to the top.Gee, that's impartial judgement.

Last year's result was awful. Eight Worms games dominated the Top 10.No it isn't. You took a democratic poll of an electorate mostly consisting of Team 17 fans. What were you expecting? It's like asking people living in South Wales whether they think socialism's a good idea or not.

It's like asking people living in South Wales whether they think socialism's a good idea or not.
And of course we all know the answer to that. :rolleyes:












It's yes, right?

Yep. It's a lot of fun, looking at political maps and seeing the massive dollop of red that is South Wales.

Well then, let me think...
At the moment, my favourite games are:

10: Trackmania Sunrise
9: Micro Machines V3
8: Worms Forts: Under Siege
7: Mashed
6: Burnout 4
5: Timesplitters: Future Perfect
4: Earth 2160
3: Worms 4 Mayhem
2: Micro Machines V4
1: Black & White 2 (and expansion)

It's very simple. Do it based on game series, not games. That way you won't have eight Worms games hogging the top 10, but one Worms series.

I'll post mine when I get further in The Movies.
Yep, The Movies rock! My favourite.

1. The Movies / Stunts and Effects
2. The Simpsons Hit & Run
3. Worms Forts: Under Siege
4. DRIV3R
5. Ghost Master

Don't play much games right now. 'Tis what I hav. Yar.

It's very simple. Do it based on game series, not games. That way you won't have eight Worms games hogging the top 10, but one Worms series.
The problem with that is that any individual games wont stand much of a chance. Especially when in league with the series that have dozens of games in them.

Individual games were getting crushed under the old system anyway.
No, I mean they'll be completely crushed.
And we probably wouldn't even be able to see Deus Ex(#13) on the top 50 list.

No, I mean they'll be completely crushed.
And we wouldn't even be able to see Deus Ex(#13) on the top 50 list.Haven't played the game, but I imagine it'd still be in there if it's really that good, even if it's a single game.

It's very simple. Do it based on game series, not games. That way you won't have eight Worms games hogging the top 10, but one Worms series.

I told you, I have plans to stop that happening!

I told you, I have plans to stop that happening!Yes, but it's the way you phrased it

I have plans which will get things like Deus Ex and Quake III up to the top.

Made me think you were going to fix our election.

I've posted in too many threads like this nor do I care about the outcome.

There is no reason for me to say which games I find to be the best, and nobody would care anyway. *Goes off to play a great game*

I have plans which will get things like Deus Ex and Quake III up to the top, rather than all of the Worms series.
Well given that the one factor connecting everyone here is that we all like Worms, and that Quake III was rubbish, that's going to be difficult.

Quake III was NOT rubbish. Well ok, it didn't have proper singleplayer, but it still wasn't too shabby.

Quake III was rubbish

What the- ?

Elaborate, please.

I'll post my top 10 as soon as I sort it out. Err.. could take a while...

Here's my top 1: Civilization IV

Here's my top 5: Team Fortress 2.

Mine:
1. Act of War: Direct Action + High Treason
2. Worms 4 Mayhem
3. Garry's mod A.K.A. Gmod
4. Counterstrike: Source
5. Unreal Tournament 2004
6. Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 + Soaked! + Wild!
7. Call of Duty 2 (would be nr 2 if it still worked)
8. The Sims 2 + Nightlife
9. Flatout!
10. Fable: The lost Chapters (would be nr 3 if it was longer than 4 days of fun)

3. Garry's mod A.K.A. Gmod
That would count as Halflife 2

I like the classics so my top 10 would be:
10. Half-Life
9. Worms 4: Mayhem
8. Counter-Strike Source/1.6 (1.6 Especially)
7. From Russia with Love
6. GoldenEye 007 (:eek:)
5. Quake III: Arena
4. The Movies (NOT Stunts and Effects)
3. Half-Life 2
2. Half-Life 2's Mods (SourceForts, GMod, GE: Source, etc..)
1. Halo: Combat Evolved

Quake III was NOT rubbish. Well ok, it didn't have proper singleplayer, but it still wasn't too shabby.
Well, excatly. It had a fairly decent multiplayer, but that was it. And really, the multiplayer did very little that Half Life, Unreal, Goldeneye, Halo and so forth don't -- and two of those are also among the all-time great single player games, so really, Quake III has no excuse. I mean, look at Worms -- that's essentially a pure multiplayer game, but Team17, before releasing a game, have thought things through and come up with a range of missions and subgames to keep single player mode entertaining -- by which I mean missions that are more interesting than simply battling increasingly difficult AI players. And I expect that from games these days. I expect something that doesn't require other people to be fun. I expect at least if I buy a multiplayer-only game, to be able to play it against my friends. Quake III simply doesn't offer that without lugging all their computers to one place and setting up a network or else us all going home and playing on the internet, if it works and if we can all get on a computer once we're home. Am I really the only person who isn't satisfied by either of those options?

When you get down to it, I suppose there isn't really anything bad about Quake III, but it really is so far away from being a classic game it's almost laughable. I think, honestly, it appeals to a very narrow band of people -- nerds, in a word. It's not a classic game. It's a mildly diversting sideshow.

That's what I think, anyway.

I've also found there's a giant influence in these sorts of things - you have games which are great, games which are great fun, and games you have to say are great. For example, the original Sonic the Hedgehog - ever noticed how reviewers say it was the best one, how none have ever lived up to it? I challenge you to find one way it was superior to Sonic 3.

But, well my list, and I'm quite happy to suggest the Worms games might not be on there:

1. Deus Ex (1)
2. Metal Gear Solid (1)
3. Sonic The Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles (including expansion pack because it was intended to be there anyway)
4. Shenmue (1)
5. Pokemon Red
6. Micro Machines v3
7. Half Life 2
8. Grand Theft Auto 3
9. Final Fantasy 9
10. Guild Wars

And now for my miscellaneous favourites:

1. Kill.Switch
2. Battle Engine Aquila
3. Full Spectrum Warrior
4. The Matrix Online
5. Hitman: Blood Money

I mean, look at Worms -- that's essentially a pure multiplayer game, but Team17, before releasing a game, have thought things through and come up with a range of missions and subgames to keep single player mode entertaining -- by which I mean missions that are more interesting than simply battling increasingly difficult AI players.You mean like Worms 1, where all you had besides standard battles were deathmatches against increasingly difficult AI players? :rolleyes:

Top ten what?

You mean like Worms 1, where all you had besides standard battles were deathmatches against increasingly difficult AI players? :rolleyes:
That's right, just like that. That was acceptable for an original and unique game released in 1995. It is not acceptable, at least, not to me, for a thoroughly uninspired first-person-shooter released in 1999, in a series which already had two proper games in it. I expect at least a modicum creativity from a game. I don't think that's unreasonable. Quake III cost more on release than Worms did, too.

15) Unreal Tournament series
14) Total Annihilation (with both expansions)
13) Monkey Island Series
12) Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic series
11) Day of the Tentacle
10) Jedi Knight series
09) Sam & Max Hit the Road
08) Grand Theft Auto (all of them)
07) Re-Volt
06) Worms series
05) Half-Life 1 & 2 series (including Counterstrike)
04) Aliens vs. Predator Series
03) System Shock 2
02) No One Lives Forever 1 & 2
01) Deus Ex (1)

No Worms game has invaded anyone's No. 1 spot.

This is better already.

*list*
Ok, can we sort out whether we're doing this by game or by series? Otherwise, the results will be completely mixed up.

My top 300,000.

Evil Genius
Medal of Honor, European Assault
Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2
GTA III
Battlefield 2
Battlefront
Those sonic games that they had in teh McDonalds sets a while ago
Worms for PSP
Pretending there were more Worms games for psp
Barqs Rootbeer.

Wait, that's not 300,000!

Evil Genius
Isn't that the James Bond spin-off where you control an evil mastermind?

11. Tales of Symphonia
10. Mario Superstar Baseball
9. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
8. Mario Kart Double Dash!
7. Alien Hominid
6. Final Fantasy 9
5 We Love Katamari
4.Loco Roco
3 Guilty Gear XX
2. Super Smash Brothers.

Eh...

Okay, here we go...

10.) Fable
9.) LocoRoco
8.) Rayman 2
7.) Lemmings PSP
6.) Worms World Party
5.) The Movies
4.) Psychonauts
3.) Deus Ex
2.) Thief Deadly Shadows
1.) The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion

That looks about right

Ok, can we sort out whether we're doing this by game or by series? Otherwise, the results will be completely mixed up.

Individual game.

4. Psychonauts

:]

Isn't that the James Bond spin-off where you control an evil mastermind?Well, I imagine that's doing it an injustice to call it a James Bond spin-off. Although it takes the **** out of James Bond clichés.

Well, I imagine that's doing it an injustice to call it a James Bond spin-off. Although it takes the **** out of James Bond clichés.
Indeed. And the antagonist does look alot like an M16 Agent :P.

I'd still say parody is better than spin-off. Spin-off would imply it's official somehow.

4.) Psychonauts



I so want that game. it's a pity it was such a commercial failure.

I'd still say parody is better than spin-off. Spin-off would imply it's official somehow.


It says something like that on the box, but I can't find out where it says it somehow.
Not that it's official, but that it's like a parody, and stuff.

I like Maximillian the best.
*evil smile*

4. The Movies (NOT Stunts and Effects)

Not Stunts and Ef- gak! What the hell is wrong with you?! How can you live without Freecam and stuntmen? :p

I so want that game. it's a pity it was such a commercial failure.

And why was it a commercial failure? Because people like you didn't buy it.

Tsk tsk.

Run outside and get yourself a copy. Now.

This list is probably incorrect, but I don't really want to think about this too much. I'm just putting these in an order that seems okay at the moment.

1) Fur Fighters
2) Super Smash Bros. Melee
3) Timesplitters: Future Perfect
4) Doukutsu Monogatari (aka. Cave Story)
5) We Love Katamari
6) Stepmania
7) Family Feud

Alright, down you go Worms.

1. (PC) The Elder Scrolls IV:Oblivion (Thanks to the modding community!)
2. (PC) Psychonauts (Completed some weeks ago- absolutely psychotic experience. Highly recommended for every gamer! Psychonauts is a living proof of how games should be made.)
3. (PC) Half-Life 2: DM (Playing often on The Sanctuary server...)
4. (PC)Neverwinter Nights (Custom modules still keep up my interest...until NWN2)
5. (PSP) Daxter (Great platformer, perfectly equal in all aspects to J&D series on PS2)
6. (PC) Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (Playing LAN sessions is still fun)
7. (PC) Trackmania Nations (Come on, it's a free, complete game! Designing your own tracks is fun)
8. (PSOne) Final Fantasy IX (Great, long story, played it to the end twice, good music score and interesting characters...makes me want to play through it again)
9. (PS2) Ratchet & Clank series
10. (PS2) Jak & Daxter series

I'd add Worms series to the 11th place, but I'd rather use a Top 10-list.

Hmmm... It's a bit hard to make a Top 5, cause i am pretty changeable with the favourite games. Plus, i don't have much games, but here goes.


Super Mario 64 (yup, i still love that classic!)
Liero Xtreme
Mugen for Windows (It's actually an engine, but who teh heck cares?!)
The Sims Deluxe Edition
Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (I only got the demo!)

Off-topic: I recently rented the "Monty Python and The Holy Grail" DVD from the library! I watched it and it was great!

OK here's my Top 11

11. Crash Bandicoot series (NOT the crappy Twinsanity one)
10. Classic Tomb Raider series 1-5 (Angel of Darkness had too many bugs, Legend was too short.)
9. Spyro the Dragon series (NOT Enter the Dragonfly. New Spyro game coming October!)
8. Ratchet & Clank series
7. Worms series
6. Spider-Man 2 (GC) (1st one sucked, 2nd one was EVEN BETTER)
5. James Bond series (excluding the crappy Goldeneye: Rogue Agent. Just ordered From Russia with Love for £6.99)
4. Tony Hawk's series
3. Sonic the Hedgehog series (NOT Sonic Shuffle! EXCRUCIATINGLY long loading times.)
2. The Super Mario series
1. SHENMUE 2 (DC) (Don't have the first one) - I REALLY love this game. So much to do. Some classic Sega games to unlock. I also think the QTE sequences are great.

OK here's my Top 11

Wormgod said to post your favourite individual games, not your favourite series.

Wormgod said to post your favourite individual games, not your favourite series.

Well, to be fair, if you can't pick your individual games, I'll allow favourite series.
But when you say series, I will go to any length to find every game in it, so be honest, and not lazy. :p

I'd still say parody is better than spin-off. Spin-off would imply it's official somehow.Plus spin-offs are usually crappy, while Evil Genius is... well, GENIUS! :p

Well, off of the top of my head, I'd say:

TOP SERIES
- Command & Conquer (preferably without Gen/ZH)
- Dune
- X-Com
- Trackmania

TOP GAMES
- Evil Genius
- Transport Tycoon Deluxe
- Lemmings
- Half-Life 2
- Monkey Island 3

In no particular order.

And why was it a commercial failure? Because people like you didn't buy it.

Tsk tsk.

Run outside and get yourself a copy. Now.

ok.
trouble is- when it was out- I didn't know about it.

12) Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic seriesSeries? Both 1 and 2 have identical storylines:p 2 is basically a remake of 1.

Best games were:

Truecrimes streets of L.A
Pacman World series:
The need for speed series
Halo combat evolved for pc(not the suckey xbox one)
Halo2 cooming to pc janaury 1st 2007 which will rock
spiderman series:
Mech Warrior series
All the crash bandicoot games
Sonic the hedgehog series including shadow the hedgehog.
Rayman series including the upcooming game in the franchise called rayman raving rabbids.
SplinterCell series
the Starwars Battelfrotn series
the worms series( even 3d and mayhem)
the gex seires
and the tombraider series.
The jamesbond seires
the metriod series
and the mario series
and the halo series.
and halo 3 cooming out janaury 1st 2007.

Rayman series including the upcooming game in the franchise called rayman raving rabbids.
and halo 3 cooming out janaury 1st 2007.

If the games are not out yet, how can you tell they're good? :p

Casue i play demoes and i look at trailers. Also every one knows all rayman games are always good.

Series? Both 1 and 2 have identical storylines:p 2 is basically a remake of 1.
Don't know why I added the series there, as I have never played the 2nd one.

The jamesbond seires
There is no James Bond series. There are a number of games which share a common lisence. But I think the makers of, say, Goldeneye, would be rightly miffed if they were lumped in with the makers of, say, Agent Under Fire.

Casue i play demoes and i look at trailers. Also every one knows all rayman games are always good.

But those games don't have demos yet. And trailers are nice and all but that don't mean the games will be. I do, however, agree that Rayman games are good.

Wormie i havent gotten my code for warrock yet how much longer do i have to wait.

Don't know why I added the series there, as I have never played the 2nd one.
Well that's understandable then. The first was great but they used exactly the same storyline for 2. Even though it is a great storyline the fact that they used it twice has put me off the series for good.

Oh and I've updated my top 1. Here's my top 4:

4. Guild Wars
3. Burnout 3: Takedown
2. Civilization IV
1. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

What about megmanx

There is no James Bond series. There are a number of games which share a common lisence. But I think the makers of, say, Goldeneye, would be rightly miffed if they were lumped in with the makers of, say, Agent Under Fire.

True. Goldeneye was made by Rare. EA now make the James Bond games. I recently got 007 From Russia with Love. It's not as good as the other ones. I thought Everything or Nothing was the best.

best games
1. worms armageddon (i also like w1 but don't want to be all worms games oin the list :p)
2. F.E.A.R
3. Earth 2140 (the original of the series)

10. Rome Total War (enjoyed the battles but i didn't like the gameplay as much).

What the hell!? Crash Bandicoot 2 OWNS Crash Bash!

Crash Bash...?? Of all the crash bandicoot games, you had to pick that one? :p
Well,he's chosen one of the more mediocre Mario games too. I think we should just assume he's easily overexcited.

You (Cosmico and Superblob) probably dont know how much fun it is with 4 players.

and Marioland 1 is my favourite Gameboy game, yes. WHY? i dunno... just had most fun with it.

Quake III Arena
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Metroid Prime
Aliens versus Predator 2
Worms: Armageddon
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Quake 4
Tetris

WHY? i dunno... just had most fun with it.

That is, after all, what counts most.

Mine would be something like:

1.) Mega Man X
2.) Worms:Armageddon
3.) City of Heroes
4.) Disgaea
5.) Lego Star Wars
6.) Dungeon Siege
7.) Breath of Fire
8.) Shadow of the Colossus

2. C&C generals zero hour with mods.

YAY [/dementedly happy, ogre-like grunting]

right, I probably did this before, but now again:

1. Kingdom Hearts II (I bet you saw that one coming)

That is just another game I REALLY, REALLY WANT! But it doesn't come out in the UK til 29 September. Why is Square-Enix taking so long to release it in the UK?
It came out in the US in March. So why have we had to wait SIX MONTHS?!

The UK always gets everything late. I know, it sucks. :(

In other news, I've finally got my Thief 1&2 douplepack working, and I would like to rearrange my top 10:

10.) Fable

1. Atomic Bomberman - Re-installed the game a few weeks ago, and it's stilll absolutely hilarious. :D
2. Worms4 Mayhem
3. Sensible Soccer 2006

That's all. :)

Have you tried the 'Program Compatibility Wizard'?
