my favourites and "now playing" |
|
|
| Favourite Acade Game of All Time - Outrun by Sega, 1986, hands down. I fed more quarters into this machine than any other. There's nothing cooler than driving your ragtop Testarossa across generic backgrounds...this likely cultivated my love for video driving games from an early age. I am on the lookout for a mint arcade unit of Outrun--that would just complete my collection nicely!!! |

| Favourite Computer Game of All Time - Archon, Electronic Arts, 1984. Phoenixes, Manticores, Shapeshifters, Dragons, Goblins and Knights...this game had it all. Half chess, half button masher (even before button mashers first came into style. Played this game daily on the Commodore 64 whilst growing up... |

| Favourite Classic Video Game of All Time - Choplifter, Broderbund 1982. Dodging tanks, terrain and cannons, picking up POWs and returning them to safety...in a heavily pixellated helicopter...it didn't get much better than this.... |

| Favourite Modern Video Game of All Time - Test Drive Le Mans, Infogrames, Dreamcast, 2000. Bold choice. I'm sure I'm one of only a few hundred that even bought this game, let alone loved it...the only game that has a 24 hour race mode. Seriously, 24 hours. I played this through over the course of many weekends, thank god for VMU saves and my patient girlfriend at the time (now wife). This might not be as deep as GT3, or as beautiful as PGR2, but it is, in my opinion, one of the very best games every made. Halo, Schmalo. |

What I'm Playing Now
Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorow
Ubisoft
Xbox
2004
Addictive. This game takes the stealth genre to a whole new iteration, let alone level. Hands down one of the best games I've played in a while. Continues the string of addictive Tom Clancy games that have consumed much of my free time of late, starting with Ghost Recon, then the original Splinter Cell, then Ghost Recon: Island Thunder, Rainbow Six 3, and now SC: PT.
Two thumbs up from me. That always made me wonder--if Ebert and Roeper both like a film, why isn't it FOUR thumbs up? Does TWO thumbs up only mean they 50% like the movie? Makes you wonder. Or, maybe it doesn't. |
