Who needs the dates anyways?
1. Hitman: Contracts - PC - I blasted through it in a night. Now I've got to be a Silent Assassin. 7/10
2. Rome: Total War - PC - I just finished my Imperial Campaign. This game is the reason I didn't beat much in 2005. 10/10
3. Rune: Viking Something - PC - Under-rated in my opinion. 7/10
4. Arx Fatalis - PC - Almost really good. But it was just plain good. 8/10
5. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne - PC - What games telling stories should be. Highly recommend the PC version. 10/10
6. STAR WARS Battlefront 2 - PS2 - Really I've beaten this several thousand times in the last few days. Just as fun as the first. +1 for Jedi. 9/10
7. Half Life - PC - No, I couldn't beat it under 43 minutes, but it didn't take long. This game becomes more and more annoying every time I play it. 8.5/10
8. Halo Zero - PC - I'd never have thought I'd play a Halo game all the way through, especially one as poorly made as this. Maybe it was the fact that it took all of twenty minutes. 4/10
9. Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - PC - Immensely cool environments, almost fun gameplay, horrible A.I. 5/10
10. Stronghold: - PC - *Drool* Everything I ever wanted from my legos and micro machines. 10/10
11. Tales of Legendia Challenge: - On my MAC - Thanks Iz for that AWESOME game. 3.75/10
12. STAR WARS Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - PC - An awesome, awesome game. Best laser sword fights ever. A nice break from my questing through Fervently of whatever the hell it's called. 9/10
13. Halo: Combat Evolved - PC - For awhile I avoided this game because
a) My computer couldn't run it.
b) It's the only reason there's still an X-Box.
But it was five bucks and so I picked it up because I felt like shooting aliens and was a bit tired of playing nothing but Morrowind. Of course I beat it in two days on normal so whatever. It's a fairly good shooter, a bit repetitive, a bit short, but also a bit fun. I'm going to try Legendary mode next. 8/10
14. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - PC - Beat the main quest, but there's still a few hundred hours left in expansions, side quests and mods I've downloaded. Good game, could have more exciting combat and less ways to exploit but still fun. 8.5/10
15. Far Cry - PC - Good FPS, I loved fighting the Mer cs but didn't really like the tridgents, they're too annoying to be fun to fight. Great graphics, I especially loved a section where you have to go down a river by boat, reminded me of Apocalypse Now. 8/10
16. Rome Total War: Barbarian Invasions - PC - This game has been eating my life. So far I've conquered Rome with the Huns and the Goths and am now working on keeping the empire together with the Byzantium's. Much more challenging than the base game, smarter A.I., more fun. Highly recommended if you like great RTS battles and equally great micromanaging. 10/10
17. Gun - PS2 - A good game that could have been so much better. Lacked depth (I beat it 100% in two days of casual playing) and drive but was damned cool and had, as the name correctly describes, awesome gun battles. I recommend it if you're a fan of the western genre and GTA style games with lots of riding your car/horse back and forth again and again. Although if you want style I'd go with Red Dead Revolver 7/10
18.
Sid Meier's Pirates!
- PC - Ever want to be a pirate? Me too, but with this game you don't have to deal with the bad food, bad company, and those long, windless, boring months at sea between actually pirating. I don't know what genre you'd say Pirates! is besides awesome, I've been hooked since I first played the NES version and this redux just puts the icing on the cake. The only downfall is that it gets repetitive, as you'll play the same mini games thousands of times. But it does have a wide range of difficulty levels which give you some of that skill curve and besides, being a Pirate is too much fun to be anything but a 10/10
19. Super Columbine Massacre RPG! - PC - Ever want to relive the Columbine Massacre crappy RPG style? Me neither. Meh, boring gameplay till you commit suicide then you go to hell. But then it doesn't get any better and then, thank God, it's over. 3/10
20. Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb - PC - How the Tomb Raider games should have been. Good fighting, good jumping, good adventure. Major flaw was not enough checkpoints and or anywhere saves. 8/10
21. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - PC - Probably the best story GTA, only problem is that the map seems kinda small. Everything else is awesome though. 9/10
22. Hitman: Blood Money - PC - My favorite series just keeps getting better. Still needs A.I. work, guards are a bit stupid still, but the depth is amazing. You can sneak through like a thief or you can blast through like a psycho. It's like a more detailed GTA, do whatever you want on a smaller, prettier, scale. 10/10
23. Dungeon Siege - PC - Was doing a little spring cleaning on the hard drive the other day and found I still had this. I was close to the end so I finished her up. Pretty fun but very repetitive. The streaming gameplay is kinds cool and the story was pretty blah. 7.5/10
24. Fable - PC - A very enjoyable game, if there weren't so many others I might actually play through this one again. I went through with a decidedly good character, I had the little butterflies around my head and whatnot. Got most of the demon doors but didn't finish her 100%. A weird glitch gave me 999999999999 gold so that kinda screwed up the economy, which was already easy to exploit. But even with a little bit of weakness I loved the sort of Disneyesque yet darkness lurking kind of feel this game had. 8/10
25. Thief: Deadly Shadows - PC - Wow, something pulled me away from WoW. Great game here, sneaky and freaky, great A.I. that will only get better. A taste of the super-realistic games that are sure to come. 9.99/10
26. Medieval 2: Total War - PC - Incredible amount of content, could be better but I'm not complaining. In this series alone can I do what I've always wanted to do, change history. And it's awesome. I've beaten a Long Campaign with the English and a Short Campaign with the Scots, started a Long Byzantium campaign but I hate their fighting style. 9/10
