For me, it would be a huge tossup between Mass Effect 2, Halo: Reach, and Super Meat Boy.

Mass Effect 2 for its truly outstanding gameplay, its incredibly long and varying campaign, a well-presented story, great character interactions, and how your previous decisions in ME 1 affect the events in 2. Awesome.

Halo: Reach for the awesome shooting action, the great and intense storyline, the fantastic co-operative multiplayer, the fun-as-heck competitive multiplayer, and the beautiful soundtrack.

Super Meat Boy for its old-school, super-nail-bitingly-intense gameplay, it's sheer simplicity, and its downright enjoyabiliy (with a nice, catchy soundtrack thron in for good measure).

It's nearly impossible for me to rank those three; I love them all. They're all just so brilliant.

Hi everyone!

So, I like FPSs. I think they're fun, cool, and it's entertaining how you feel like the main character. I went around searching, "The greatest FPS games" on google, and looking at all these lists. As I went down the lists, it'd be like this:

"la, dee dum dum... hmm, let's see here... ah, number 10 was Call of Duty modern Warfare, can't argue with that.... hmm... ladee doo... number 6 is Deus Ex... sure, why not....a la la da dee doo dee dum... number 2 is Halo Combat Evolved, nice, nice... number 1 is... Half Life 2? Really? I remember playing that; never really understood the fun. how about another list. *scrolls down to bottom* Half Life 2, again. Why? *checks another list, scrolls to bottom* Half Life 2? What? *repeats process 3 times, all with same results* I just don't get it."

(note: I don't really sing when i read; that was just for fun :D)

now, i don't mean to get on anyone's bad side. I don't want for there to be flame wars or anything, I just really am curious as to why Half Life 2 was so good. I tried it out before, and to be honest, I didn't really like it... maybe because i was looking in the wrong areas? i don't really know...

Sure, the graphics were awesome. Sure, it felt really cinematic at first as you ran away from combine and dashed through buildings and ran, jumping from rooftop to rooftop... But then the gameplay kinda wasn't fun. I mean, whacking someone with a crowbar is pretty entertaining, but the weapons sound terrible (the pistol sounds SO weak), the shootouts aren't really much fun, and a lot of the shooting was kinda "meh" if you ask me. The puzzles were pretty fun, I guess, but the driving portions were relatively weak since you had to stop and get out and do some puzzles and then proceed. And I got nauseous playing the boat bit.. lol. The story wasn't even all that interesting! I liked the cinematic style and the graphics and the physics engine (gravity gun was pretty fun to use) but I just don't understand... what was so good about Half Life 2? Will someone please explain POLITELY? I really don't want any cussing or fanboyism here. Please, just comments and telling me what was so special about Half Life 2.

SO who thinks this will fail? Last times World at War was only awesome for the multiplayer. The controls were subpar compared to that of Metroid Prime 3's, and I don't know about the graphics. Though Activision claims they will blow us away with the graphics, where are the screenshots?

Seriously. I want to see the "revolutionary" wii graphics of Black Ops. Even so, I doubt it will be too good.

What do you guys think?

I'd love to hear your opinions on this. Just don't swear or get fanboy-ish, and things'll go smoothly.

My view on it is:

Heck, why not port MvC3: FTW to Wii? We all know the wii can handle it. I mean, look at TvC. It was AWESOME, and the cel-shaded look worked well. They could just water down the 360 version a bit for Wii, right? I know I'm not one to say whether it'd be hard or not, but really...

Brothers in Arms definitely takes a place here. Road to Hill 30 and Earned in Blood were so unbelievably intense.

Rainbow Six Vegas was also really intense, with some of the craziest firefights I've seen.

And obviously, Call of Duty 2 takes the cake here. The Russian campaign is surprisingly intense. Modern Warfares 1 and 2 are also really intense, especially when playing the Captain Price mission on Veteran.

Devil May Cry 3 was also really intense on the harder levels.

Allied Assault's opening omaha beach landing was AWESOME.

Halo had many, many, many intense firefights although they really went overboard on Legendary.

Sometimes, plot twists are great. They fill you with wonder/shock/horror, and serve to make you look at a situation in a new light. Take The Empire Strikes Back's epic plot twist: I AM YOUR FATHER.

The whole audience went ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG.

Other times, directors and writers put too many plot twists into one movie until you're left with a sort of "WTF just happened" feeling after the movie is over.

In confusing movies, you'll get many problems: Too many plot twists, nonsensical storyline, or just WTF WAS THAT?!!!!

Here's a poll of the most confusing movies of all time.

Pretty simple, really.

What do you think was the most well optimized Capcom game ported to the PC?

Optimized as in: Graphics wise, controls wise, configurations wise, and etc.

For PC?

HECK NO.

I thought that about F.E.A.R 5 years ago.

How wrong was I?

People probably thought things couldn't get better after Doom 3. But, they did.

For PC, if a developer wasn't afraid of making a 32 GB game or else is eincreidbleh at compressing, the graphics can get WAAAAAAY better.

Crysis 2 looks nowhere near as good, as, say, REAL LIFE. If a game ever looks as good as real life.... That's about when we can safely say: Nope, it ain't gonna get any better.

I agree. I loved the movies, they were great (except for numbers 2 and 4). Indiana Jones really deserves a good game. Uncharted 2 is just such a great game, and if Indy were to have a game as good as that, I'd never stop playing it. Not to mention there's lots of great subject matter for a game for Indy.
