That's a lot.

Yup. Picking "best" for video games is like picking the 'best' footballer - there's no definitive answer, so you have to look at each genre individually.

I love First-Person Shooters (Timesplitters 2 and 3 are excellent, King Kong was brilliant especially since it was a moviet tie-in). But that can cause alot of generic shooters, like Area 51.

Are they console games? I've not played a lot of console games, seeing as I've never owned a console. Dabbled ona few of my mates' consoles though.

TimeSplitters is console game, and excellent. Can't wait for the fourth.

But Area 51 is on PC (as well as consoles), and is generic in almost every way aside from it's story and excellent visuals. I don't know if King Kong was released on PC though.

Oh, loads.

Elite (BBC), Chuckie Egg (BBC)(I have a Direct X version somewhere that's ace), Paradroid (Commie 64), Sensible World of Soccer (Amiga), Any of the GTA series (Amiga, PC)(except GTA2 and GTA: London), the early Infocom adventures (Commie 64), most of the Epyx 'Games' series (Commie 64), Interstate '76 (PC), Baldur's Gate (PC), Championship/Football Manager Amiga/PC) and a bucket load of First Person Shooters (PC).

SWOS rocked as did the early infocom adventures. You can play most of them online.

Final Fantasy VII

I bet millions of people say this is their best lol.

I have Final Fantasy X which is great for my first Final Fantasy, though i hate the fact that you have to keep watching cutscenes everytime you die (with hammy voice acting). Plus, the battles are too freaking long. Gorgeus graphics though.

P.S. why did it need three discs?

I think it needed 3 discs because of the extensive soundtrack (80+ tunes) and all the FMV's - the ending sequence alone was about 20 minutes long I seem to remember.

Agree FFX's voice-acting was hammy (as is the case with 9 out of 10 new games these days) - I wish they'd go back to the days of just dialogue boxes.

Actually i'd disagree, we wouldn't be able to hear the excellent voice acting in games like The Chronicles of Riddick:Escape from Butcher Bay. Plus, i hate reading text if it's on a console as it hurts my eyes-i don't think my eyes could bare reading all the text in FFX

I prefer dialogue boxes, at least for RPGs because then I can go at my (snails) pace.

But who needs either when you can just push the Start button and hold down FIRE!
