I can think of at least one (http://www.i-mockery.net/viewtopic.php?t=1236) person who does.

Yeah, Metroid is my favorite series two. It hold the top two spots in my ten greatest games of all time ( Super Metroid is 1, Metroid Prime is 2 )


But I didn't like fusion too much, the story was all that kept me going

Baldurs Gate 2

I have never ever played a game that had more of a mood then that.

the only problem i had with Metroid prime was the missing screw attack, and it was a little to short.


P.S. notice the BBcode? huh? huh?

The games that have kept my interest the most were Goldeneye for the N64, Dynasty Warriors 3 (w/ expansion) for PS2, Mike Tyson's Punch out for NES and Street Fighter II for any console.

When Goldeneye was popular, the game mode my brothers and I played the most was flag tag with the handicaps set so that it only took one hit to kill someone, so we became fucking awesome at flag tag. Since everyone was playing Goldeneye, we would actually bet money with other people that would bet them at flag tag. And we always did. We were like Nintendo hustlers. Absolute fucking dorks. I miss that game.

The Metroid series is one of, if not the best series of games ever. Super Metroid and Metroid Prime are two of the best games ever.

I think the non Final Fantasy square RPG games should be considered a category. Mario RPG, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger. Those are some of my favorite games. I think only two or three of the FF games are better than Mario RPG or Secret of Mana, and Chrono Trigger is better than every FF game. And how come nobody ever mentions the FF gameboy games? FF Adventure was the shiz-nit.

I wish my old board was still up, I started a top 10 video games of all time thing and my first post (the one that started it) had to span 3 posts since it was so big. I lsited exactly why I did my picks.

But I cant copy and paste so I'll make it fast:

I. Super Metroid
II. Metroid Prime
III. MGS3
IV. MGS
V. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Others would be stuff like Contra, Super Punch Out, Punch out, all that old school stuff

I forgot about conker's bfd. If I could only get one game for n64, it'd be either that or perfect dark (forgot that too). They're both really fun in single player and multiplayer mode. The beach is one of the coolest multiplayer games ever. Especially with 3 people. I like to use the sniper rifle :)

I absolutley hated goldeneye and perfect dark. After being a long time fps gamer on the pc (wolfenstien 3d days!), playing fps games on consoles suck ass in pretty much everyway.

The Zelda series :rave . (Except for those CDI peices of shit). >:

While I really like all of the games mentioned above, my absolute favourite is Planescape: Torment. The story is incredible, the characters are intriguing, the atmosphere and music grab you, and the spells and enemies are incredible beyond description.

How can you not like a game in which this is the main character:

When I was a kid, I always looked forward to going to my friend's house and playing WWF Royal Rumble, so I guess it's one of my favourite games.

Shit, I'm not even sure where to start...

Conker's BFD(Great Mighty Poo! :rock [typical, I know, but I never laughed harder than when he first bellowed out "Bring me some sweet corn!"])
Chrono Trigger
Contra
Kingdom Hearts
NBA 2K2
RIVER CITY RANSOM!
Super Mario 3
Majora's Mask
Soul Calibur(made me proud to have bought a Dreamcast the first day just to rub it in the faces of all the "Fuck that, I'm waiting for PS2" assholes)
Metroid Prime
Project Gotham Racing
SotN

There's a bunch of others that I'm undoubtedly forgetting, but I leave you with, in my opinion, THE BEST GAME EVER(caps to add emphasis)...

Super Dodge Ball, a game that I still play regularly, after 14 years. :love
