Best console games
Thought id start a thread where we can all discuss our favourite/best console games of all time n share why etc. Cause im bored and its 1am thats why.
Ill get the ball rolling.
I will definitely put up Final Fantasy 8 as the best game. period. Big claim i know but out of every single game ive played (and believe me thats several thousand at this stage) nothing has really come close.
The story is very detailed, relatable and just all round awesome. The graphics (back in those days) for a game of this scale was unreal - which brings up the point of the sheer scale of the game, 4 discs it took to playthrough the game, and you can spend literally hundreds of hours on one playthrough (just finished one myself, and logged about 300 hours for a full clear) There is a complete mini game (that could easily qualify for a stand alone game) and the musical score, to this day is still imo unrivalled, which alone would be enough to play the game. 7 was just not enough for me and 9 was too...i dunno japanese in the feel of it.
Another good contender is Metal Gear Solid 1.
Gran Turismo 2, mostly the original playstation games, alex the kidd as well was pure awesomeness - they sure dont make em like they use to
If only they combined todays graphics engines with gameplay/score/story with that of the older games

Well I thought FFX was pretty great. Too bad my little sh*t of a brother thought it would be amusing to delete my nearly complete save.

Re: Best console games
All time favourite series has to be Tomb Raider - Played, own and finished them all - Have collection of Lara Croft statues (Game, not movie); 4*plastic (1990's) + 24*small ceramic (current) + 1* First edition Life size Oxmox Muckle (very expensive and rare). I also have plenty of other Tomb Raider/Lara Croft collectables.
Next favourite series is Fallout - mainly 3 & New Vegas - Also own quite a few collectables.
Favourite old school series is Zork.
Special mention to original NFS games 1990 - 2000

Re: Best console games
I think its called Road rage, or road rash or something - motorbike racing but the best part is the aim of the game is to beat your opponents off their bike as well with a variety of weapons (including steel pipe, chain, nunchucks (my personal favourite)) all whilst avoiding the police - the hilarity of watching another man being beaten off his bike and watching him tumble in your mirrors is very satisfying!
