10. The 7th Guest - The scariest game ever created. It was groundbreaking when it came out because of the pre-rendered video and use of actual actors. I'm not too sure how it would stand the test of time and maturation, probably wouldn't find it scary now, but playing this in a room with a group of friends late at night...yeah, there were times I covered my eyes or ran out of the room. And the puzzles were actually hard.
Old Man Stauf built a house
And filled it with his toys
Six guests all came one night
Their screams the only noise
No one knows what happened next
Theres no one left to say
But if you should see Old Man Stauf
Get on your knees and pray
9. Half-Life 2 - Fun as hell with graphics that will make you weep.
8. Super Mario Bros - Is there any doubt? Not too mention the greatest video game music ever composed. I can't imagine a day when people of our generation, when they hear the first three notes of the theme music won't jump in and finish it off.
7. Day of the Tentacle - Oh billy! Fun, fun, fun. Laughs and laughs and laughs. If you think you're a nerd and you've never heard of Day of the Tentacle, you're a poor excuse for a nerd.
6. Sam and Max Hit the Road - This is actually a better game then the two adventure titles that preceed it on the list, but I just love the harder edges of the Dig and Full Throttle more. If you haven't played Sam and Max you really, really,
really doing yourself a disfavor.. It had humor and flare that was infiintely superior to anything that's coming out since.
5. Full Throttle - One of the finest adventure games ever. Again, a great sense of humor, fun as hell plot and innovative game play. The grittiest adventure game ever created.
4. The Dig - Just one of the best executions in adventure gaming. A story forged by Steven Spielberg, created by the Lucas Arts team is a reciepe for awesome. This game is imagination.
3. Metal Gear Solid - The best of the best. This game started it all and finished it all. If there was ever a first game that set the bar high, this is it. It wasn't just set high, it's simply unreachable.
2. Fallout - Oh how I love this freaking game. It is the most realized vision of a future world ever created in a game. It has nuance out the ass. The dialogue is phenomenal. If you haven't played Fallout or Fallout 2,
buy them right now. This game is the reason I have a very, very, very high affection for anything post-apocolyptic. It has the best sense of humor and style
ever to be contained within a computer game.
1. Fallout 2
Just look at that picture and you'll see how Black Isle amped up the sequel to the greatest RPG ever created. It's just slicker, harder, meaner, and sicker. You can marry a mutant girl and if you start to run out of money, you can pimp her out. That alone right shows how raw these games are.
If you have patience, ie. your favorite game
isn't Halo, spend the measely 5 dollars and
buy both of these games. You have no excuse to not spend 5 bucks and recieve the two greatest games ever created.
