![]() | GoldenEye 007 (N64)
Buy used from: £5.48 I almost feel bad putting this at number one, but the title "Best FPS of all time" is thrown about a lot for this one, particularly when Perfect Dark expanded on all that made this game great.
|
![]() | Final Fantasy VII Platinum
Buy used from: £17.99 To be more specific, the series in general. The series has made it past the 10 game mark, with little linking each with the previous save for the name and the only real improvements being graphical.
|
![]() | Super Mario 64
Buy used from: £6.24 Another game that I myself used to play constantly, but it has overshadowed superior games merely on the strength of the main character, and is frequently refered to as "the best 3d platformer ever."
|
![]() | Devil May Cry (PS2)
Buy new: £13.97 / Used from: £1.90 A rather generic hack and slash game with truely unlikeable characters.
|
![]() | Far Cry (PC)
Buy new: £9.99 / Used from: £0.99 It's not bad, but it's in no way ground breaking. The graphics may have been good for the time but presentation shouldn't be the selling factor of a game. Gameplay over graphics wasn't the goal here.
|
![]() | Tomb Raider - Platinum (PS)
Buy new: £48.99 / Used from: £1.99 Unlike some other games on this list, this was somewhat innovative and offered an interesting gaming experience. In the end though, it was just a glorified platformer with some gun play.
|
![]() | Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (PC CD)
Buy new: £4.21 / Used from: £0.34 An interesting concept, but personally, I don't find having to memorise the layout and enemy placement of a level particularly fun. The AI seemed to flit between hawk-eyed and too dumb to live.
|
![]() | Call of Duty 2: Game of the Year Edition (PC DVD)
Buy new: £11.35 / Used from: £7.10 Regenerating health detracts somewhat from the atmosphere of this kind of game. Gunfights were more satisfying when you came out of a particularly brutal exchange with very little health left.
|
![]() | Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Buy new: £17.50 / Used from: £15.69 I think this was a fun game, but after all the drawn out hype there was little difference between this and the one released previous. Subspace Emissary mode was nice at first but got old quickly.
|
![]() | GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (GameCube)
Buy used from: £2.98 The dual wield system is interesting but this game would never have been noticed if not for the James Bond reference.
|
![]() | Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince (PS2)
Buy new: £12.98 / Used from: £12.95 Chosen because this is currently the best selling movie tie in. This is more tie ins in general, they always do very well in terms of sales but are very rarely any good.
|
![]() | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (PS2)
Buy new: £13.79 / Used from: £2.99 A great game, yes, but a lot of the features implimented ended up detracing from the overall fun, like having to spend ages building up your swimming stat to undertake a mission, and flight school.
|
![]() | Dead Rising (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £15.43 / Used from: £9.50 Fun, but nowhere near as open ended as it was originally implied to be. That being said, the lawnmower is a good addition to anything involving the undead.
|
![]() | Monster Hunter: Freedom (PSP)
Buy used from: £3.79 A button masher, there's little else to it. It did nothing particularly interesting or new.
|
![]() | Sonic Unleashed (PS3)
Buy new: £14.99 / Used from: £11.75 This was said to be the 3D Sonic game to redeem the poor quality thus far. Instead, it tried to distract us with a gimmick.
|
![]() | Killing Floor (PC DVD)
Buy new: £11.80 / Used from: £9.69 A Left 4 Dead clone. It seems upping the gore level doesn't necassarily lead to a better game.
|
![]() | World of Warcraft (Mac/PC)
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £4.99 It seems gamers are split into those who have at one point spent dangerous amounts of time playing this game and those that find the grinding to be worth significantly less than the monthly rate.
|
![]() | Pokémon Sapphire
Buy used from: £11.70 I like the PokÃa9mon games, but it's always been somewhat ruined by each generation getting a 3rd version eventually that makes the original pair pointless because of all the extra content.
|
![]() | Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? (Nintendo DS)
Buy new: £22.49 / Used from: £9.95 I wouldn't mind so much about this were it not for the fact that it retailed for the full RRP of a DS game when it contained no more material than the average Puzzler magazine.
|
![]() | Guitar Hero I (PS2)
Buy new: £18.50 / Used from: £11.50 There was little more to this game than DDR and the like other than the fact that it appealed to fans of rock music. 17 sequels and spinoffs in 3 years is a little much.
|
![]() | Dead Space (Xbox 360)
Buy new: £12.99 / Used from: £5.44 It was built up to be a particularly scary horror game. In the end it was just a bit jumpy at places. Less survival horror and more action with very little ammo. Still a good game though.
|
![]() | Haze (PS3)
Buy new: £9.99 / Used from: £4.70 Hyped simply because it is one of the few games you -need- a PS3 for, a generic shooter with an even more generic storyline.
|
![]() | Altered Beast - Megadrive - PAL
Buy used from: £1.87 This game was used as a selling point for the Megadrive. It wasn't particularly good, even for its time and it was soon surpassed by the likes of Streets of Rage. The transformation idea was novel.
|
![]() | The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS)
Buy new: £21.84 / Used from: £11.50 Some magazines said this could be the game to beat Ocarina of Time as best in the series (though some would argue that A Link to the Past beat it). Fun, but with some boring gameplay elements.
|
![]() | Sonic Rush Adventure (Nintendo DS)
Buy new: £22.25 / Used from: £9.90 The original Sonic Rush was good because it stook to the simple but -fun- formula of the original Megadrive games. Here however, Sega went with their "If it's not broken, fix it until it is" formula.
