Top 5
So today I thaught I’d list my top 5 games.
Number 5: Wacky Wheels
My very first computer game. The list could not be complete without it. It was a Mario kart ripp-off yes, but it was the best DOS game that I ever played. It was fun, fast, and just totaly awesome. The battle mode and the race mode where awesome, and the maps where designed to work well with the set speed of each of the levels.
Number 4: Age of Empires
The first RTS that I ever played, and the best RTS in my opinion. None of this shitty unit queing, it was pure belt it out. The game was there for the long slog. The single player campaigne was awesome, helped you get into it. I mean seirously, whats not awesome about an army of Villages rushing a few elephants, and seeing them all get trampled?
Whats not awesome about strategicly mauvering your horse archer to harras the enemy? Or maybe your legion of broad swordsmen?
And what other RTS plays so well on Windows Mobile?
Number 3: Call of Duty
Yes, the first Call of Duty, based off Quake3, so nice silky smooth movement, and just the right balance between realisum and fun, the maps where niceand had good flow for all the different types of game mods. And that brings us to the best part of the multiplayer game: Behind Enemy Lines.
But call of Duty wasn’t just all multiplayer, it had one of the most freshest single player games since the first Half-Life, and lets be honst Half-Life’s single player was really really boring. Call of Duty had style, it had emotion, it drew you in and made you think you where that character, and it made you relise how bloody small you are in the game-world.
Number 2: V8 Challenge.
This was a hard one to pick. It was a toss-up between Race Driver 3, and this, but in the end, this won out. Its the main racing simulator that I keep comming back to. Its just a really good racing simulator, the steering feels real, the breaking, the way the tracks are modeled (nice and visible). And it just has that “feel” like Quake3 has to an awesome game, thats designed to function as well as it does. Seems to work well with any Steering Wheel under the sun.
Number 1: Quake 3 Arena.
Obviously, its a game that has kept me comming back to it, time and time again. I’ve been playing it since 6 months after release here in Australia. When I first started playing it, I had just come down from playing Quake2 ALOT on the MSN Gaming Zone. (by the way, Quake2 is the most influential game for me). So I had come down from a successfull TDM and FFA season online, and joined Quake3. The pace just blew me away, it was so nice, smooth, and was just a different level.
Its everything about this game I love, even the community, people are so nice to each other, and most don’t ever get head strong. Its just an awesome game.
