  Most Memorable Games Ive played - 2

  Here I am again. More than a year gone. I wrote part 1 of this series from India. I am writing part 2 from USA. Somehow, I feel lot closer to the gaming world ( no offense to the indian gamers) - watching the E3 live was truly an experience. Over the last year, I haven't head enough time to consistently play games, I rather played a few great ones over short periods and completed them over 4-5 days (playing almost 18 hrs a day). No .. dat dosent make me hardcore, neither a gaming freak.. im just one of those millions who feel changes in bursts relaxes u more than anything !

  STAR WARS: KNIGHTS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC

  Popularly known to the gaming world as KOTOR, this game comes from the developers Bioware who excel at RPG games. The story is awesome and takes place some 100 - i dont rem yrs before the Star wars movie era. The characters are amazingly transparent and the gameplay is just smashing.

  
  Waiting for the MMORPG - Old Republic due next year !

  World of Goo

  Simple can be fun.. and not so simple. This game was developed by two former EA employees and really captures the essence of Indie games. Its probably one of the best puzzle games u will play.

  SPORE

  If u like sci-fi, not for the tech but for the exploration and fascination with other cultures - then theres nothing better than spore. It will particularly appeal to Stargate SG1 fans (for some reason). The evolution is terrific and the game is one of the most customizable around. What this means is you experience urself rising from the shallows of the ocean to dominate galactic universse. The space age is difficult.. but hey life on earth isnt easy either.

  FALL OUT 3

  The preview trailers dint interest me much.. but boy this games rocks once you start killing zombies in a post nulclear castastrophe world. Plus if u like gore...

  Supreme Commander

  I have no idea how my old hp laptop pulled this game.. but I have to say.. its one hell of a ride. I heard everywhere this game was immensely system hogging.. i still decided to try it .. with reduced graphics..and it was a great decision. What i like about this game is the huge battles.. and I dint concentrate on the graphics.

  Mass Effect

  Just when I thought KOTOR is the best RPG I will ever play... along comes another one from Bioware.

  
  Mass Effect is a game that changed me.. as it did millions of gamers around the world. With undoubtedly the best voice acting ever, this game feels like u r in a movie living the life of a action hero. Isnt that what games are supposed to do ? Help us escape from the fkin reality of life... well Hell yes !

  Sins of the Solar Empire

  The scale of this game is gigantic.. the only thing lacking is a story ( and dats the most imp thing for me in a game). But i enjoyed this game immesely.. especially the sleek zoom .. the huge fleet. Nothing feels better than see other ships fall to ur mothership.. again SG1 fans might appreciate this game a lot.

  World in Conflict

  If you do not like the gather-defend-attack idea of RTS games.. then u wud wanna play this game. The action is fast paced with terrific gameplay and... amazing air strikes.. o i love that part..

  Most Memorable Games Ive played - 1

  Hmm there comes dat dreaded topic... hell who wants to know wat games i love and are memorable to me???... not u im sure... however, if ur still reading on lemme tell u ...one of the vital things to gamers is the community they form whenever theyr together...instantly..like they are blood brothers. I have been lucky to have such gamer friends...who are not just avid gamers, but are actually lovers of the concept of gaming. So having listened to this dogmatic intro.. lemme introduce u to wat this is all about.

  STARCRAFT

  I love this game because of the sheer brilliance of its story. Yes, if uve played it...ul know wat im talking about! Ahh if only they hadnt stolen the idea for movies like alien vs predator and stuff....! If I ask u to play stracraft today most of u wud refuse simply for the graphics arent good enough for the present. But that was 1998 and the graphics was good enough then. Nevertheless, if u call urself a real RTS fan then this one should be like ur text book. And make no mistake, it wasnt voted game of the year for nothing.

  NEVERWINTER NIGHTS

  BioWare rocks. The original and the expansions are awesome. And Aribeth

  WARCRAFT III

  oH gOD ..this was another hell of a strategy game.. i started playing it with huge expections...and it exceeded everything.. wonderful graphics and a gr8 gameplay boosted by some superb cinematics...

  AGE OF MYTHOLOGY

  oK firstly, im not a very big fan of microsoft game studios. Yet, the most basic reason people play games is to escape from reality.. and wat better to immerse into magic and mythology. Also the heroes wer cool... especiialy arkantos. age of titans - the expansion package isnt my favorite since it was small...only thing good was timeshift by kronos.

  CALL OF DUTY

  For a week after playing this game, I would hear and dream of being a solder in WW2. Such is the immersion depth of COD. One of the greatest war games to be ever developed.

  COMMAND AND CONQUER: TIBERIUM WARS

  GREAT BATTLES ! and great cinematics..which are so lifelike... good gameplay u expect that from EA.

  DOOM 3

  Uhh... the sleep snatcher... trust me its scarier than the Ring or Omen or all those ghost movies.... !!! But its gr8 funn

  LORD OF THE RINGS : THE RETURN OF THE KING

  I tell u now.. there is no LOTR game better than this wonder action/ rpg from EA.Its a must for LOTR fans.. and in any casethe graphics and gameplay is awesome...the camera is stupid sometimes... dats ok..but wait till u face a live nazgul on the battlefield.

  to be continued......
