CIVILIZATION 4!!

Half life 2 - yuck I felt dirty after completing it. Not a patch on the first one.
...and whoever said battlefield 2, you sir have no taste. Best online shooter ever ever ever ever ever ever. Hard to aim guns makes it BETTER!
and the two worst games of all time......
Doom 3 and Star(crap)craft

Yay I'm not the only person in the world who thinks StarCraft is EXTREMELY overrated!!!
While I wouldn't necessarily say that SC is the worst game of all time, I do agree that it NOWHERE NEAR deserves the hype it gets now. All the other RTS's out on the market right now make StarCraft look like garbage. I do hope that SC2 is 1000x better...

If any RTS is unbalanced, it's StarCraft, my friend. That game is a total (and almost always successful) rushfest. Just looking at the Protoss Zealot just proves you wrong right there. And the Carrier is also incredibly overpowered. If anyone makes a group of Zealots (in the beginning) and the Carrier (later in the game), 99.99999999999% of the time, you're totally done for.

That kind of defense sounds great in theory but in actual practice, it's nearly impossible to carry out effectively.
First off, Firebats vs. Zealots. you forgot to mention that it takes only a couple hits from a Zealot to kill a Firebat, while for the opposite, it takes many more. Not to mention the higher tech level for Firebats (Barracks + Academy) vs. Zealots (Gateway ONLY). Even with splash damage for Firebats, a Zealot rush is nearly impossible to stop early in the game, unless you're an expert and the other player is a total novice. Not to mention the fact that you haven't named a counter for Zerg yet.
Next, Carriers vs. Scourges. First off, if you're Terran, then what do you do? But anyway, it takesabout3-5 scourge to kill aCarrier. That's about halfa whole hatchery's worth of larvae. Not to mention the fact that some of the Scourge might get slaughtered themselves before they can strike. In fact, Scourge have very few hitpoints and can be killed quite easily before they even get close.
And don't get me started on the Guardian + Devourer rush, or the Mutalisk rush. Those rushes are even more horrendous than Zealots and Carriers.
Anyway, we're getting VERY off topic here, so I will back out. However, as far as I can see, you are 100% wrong.
agreed, a game that offer absolutely nothing new, and get 9,, totally bogus

World in Conflict - It was good but no 9.5...8.5 at most.Yeah I thought GS of all game review websites would take points away from the game for it's performance.
Crysis - Funny how other games get slammed for their high specs yet this mammoth no one seems to mind. I can barely run it at medium. worst optimized game ever I expect better from a PC only game.
Bioshock - The ending...seriously did they run out of what? Wow generic monster #196654 and a 30 second cutscene that either makes you a saint or a nuclear terrorist.agreed, a game that offer absolutely nothing new, and get 9,, totally bogus darklord888
It is classic C&C gameplay. I'm really happy EA kept itlike that.I'm glad it didn't do all that check point holding craplike CoH and a lot of other games have or needing builders that take 10 years to build one thing.It's quick, simple and fun.
Half life 2, Doom 3, C&C3, Guild Wars. I dont like these games much at all.Frozzik
Half life 2? I guess we are very different people then.
otherwise, I haven't gotten a new game since DoW: Dark crusade last Christmas
Edit: wow aparently : then D is a smily face haha, next time ill have to put a space(I fixed it)

Give me a break. Any decent Terran player can simply wall-in with a supply depot & barracks, make a few marines and tech to vultures with mines to stop mass zealots easily. As for Carriers, if you actually realize they're going Carrier A.S.A.P., you simply expand (more) and roll him over with ground before he can make more than two. Goliath/Tank with decent micro will completely demolish lone carriers.
You're right though, this is getting off-topic, but as far as I can see, you're 100% wrong.
As for my games, I think Company of Heroes is, though I admit I did not take the time to learn it. Same with Command & Conquer 3, though I believe that game is less dependent on skill than Company of Heroes.
Command and Conquer 3, it's complete utter garbage and I'm not even sure it deserved as high as a 7 let alone a 9.
KevinV the guy who reviewed it was clearly just a CNC3 fanboy I mean the game has numerous problems and all he can mention for cons is picky building placement? Give me a break! I bet he wanted to score it even higher then that, but GS told him to cool down.
I think non RTS-gamers don't really have a say on RTS games :P. They are only for the people who like thinking ^^.
Games I love :
CoH, Crysis, CoD4, and more CoH.
I couldn't really get into Freedom Fighters (old game, I know), Bioshock (awesome story and all, but gameplay feels a little awkward), andevery flight simulator sucks ass IMO.

WTF? Freedom Fighters is one of my favorite games, once you have a decent-sized squad it is really fun. And about Getting up, that game is awesome, at first is a bit boring but i continued playing and became engaged.
And i agree with most people about bioshock, i bought it for the hype. I liked the game but the shooting didnt feel right and not al the plasmids were actually useful.
Bioshock.
"lightning bolt plasmid, wrench, repeat, Vita Chamber. And don't miss the big daddies."
I have to admit even the combat in Halo 3 was more entertaining.

You are missing one fact here sir... the cost of units. Protoss is the most expensive race of them all.
Hmm I didn't really like oblivian or WIC.
GTA III
GTA: Vice City
GTA: San Andreas
Doom 3 - it's not that I didn't like it, it's that I didn't like it much.
Mortal Kombat 4
Dungeon Siege
Tribes: Vengeance
NoAssKicker47
Oh yeah! Suck eggs to the guy who told me off about bagging San Andreas....sooo my good friend what didnt you like about good ol' mr. San Andreas? heheheh...we're all listening, the microphone is yours. Step forward at once I say and deliver you crushing review! You are a critic of the people now! You work for the state! You have no family but us! Now demolish that game at once comrade and see to it that it never bothers anyone again! Attack I say ! Tora Tora Tora!!

While I wouldn't necessarily say that SC is the worst game of all time, I do agree that it NOWHERE NEAR deserves the hype it gets now. All the other RTS's out on the market right now make StarCraft look like garbage. I do hope that SC2 is 1000x better...
If you think Starcraft is bad, then RTS isn't your genre.

WOW I didn't know StarCraft was the only RTS ever created in the history of humanity. Guess Command and Conquer, WarCraft, Age of Empires, Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, TA & SupCom, Homeworld, Total War, Star Wars: Empire at War, Battle for Middle-Earth, Dune, Majesty, Sins of a Solar Empire, Empire Earth, and Tzar: The Burden of the Crown bust have all been a dream then.
