What are the 5 games that you will play in an eight hour sitting, only to fall asleep thinking of them?
5. Dynasty Warriors 3 (PS2) - One of my favorite games for the system, just because there's so much to unlock, but nothing seems overly daunting. If I couldn't unlock a new item, I would just call up my friend, we'd play for a while and level up our characters of choice, and by the end of the night, it would be a cakewalk.
A lot of people called the game repetitive, but I never got tired of hearing those Chinese peasants die.
4. Pokemon Blue Version (GB) - I was a kid who grew up in the nineties, so this is a given. You'd play through everything, try to be the best on the playground, buy the merchandise for some reason, and eventually become a pokemon master. I remember having someone delete my game, only to happily replay from the beginning. By silver, though, the magic wore off.
Also, it was the first game I clocked more than 100 hours into.
3. Civilization 3 (PC) - I got this game and the first expansion pack for $10 at the Target Clearance section, and easily got more entertainment out of it than most games I spend $50 on. The basic mechanics are just perfect, especially diplomacy, and the end result of a successful war/strategy is one of the best rushes I've ever gotten out of a strategy game. The only thing that pried me away was Civ 4, which I borrowed. The game ran like shit on my computer though, so I didn't want to buy it when I returned it. Still, I couldn't go back to Civ 3 after the sequel.
2. Morrowind (PC) - It wasn't necessarily the gameplay that made this game amazing, it was the modding and console commands. I liked how the main character actually had an impact on the world, and every mod could revolutionize the game. Then, I discovered Vampire Embrace, one of the most amazing mods for the games. Just when I thought I was done with the game, I found something that completely revolutionized it.
Fun Fact: Despite spending months exploring morrowind, I never actually finished the main game.
1. Timesplitters 2 (PS2) - Without counting multiplayer, this game would easily move down 3 spots. With it, its one of the greatest experiences my friends and I have had this generation. Like dynasty warriors, it has a crap load of unlockables, but nothing ever seems out of reach. Unlike DW, everything is centered on skill, not grinding. Still, when you can't finish that mission, nothing is better than playing an arcade match against a bunch of bears
Honorable Mentions:
World of Warcraft: I'd put it on the list, but luckily I quit before it engulfed me
Warcraft III: I played it quite a bit, but was never good enough to play online/do cool stuff. Plus, I felt like some mechanics were broken.
Heroes of Might and Magic III: I justdownloaded bought this game legally, and it was the reason I wrote this thread. As addicting as the game is, especially for something 8 years old, I had to give Civilization a spot over it.
