96% at GameRankings, which was the best IYO? ***POLL***

The best was Metroid Prime, and games that don't deserve a 96% would be Halo:CE and RE4.

Halo: CE was a decent game, but was definately not the revolutionary title people make it out to be. It influenced a lot of other shooters with it's popularity, but it didn't really do anything new. RE4...Excellent graphics, decent sound and even with that you have yourself a solid 7.5-8.0. The story was weak, the gameplay lacking, the script and voice acting were pathetic, but at least there was some replay value...

People, Halo is not great for doing "something new," it's great for being a magnificent harmony of a lot of great things all done well at the same time.

well summarised

Resident Evil 4? *pukes*Xolver

Resident Evil 4 is easily one of the best games ever made. :|

wow, left for a little while, and the Poll gained 80 votes, Halo is still in the lead but it has dropped down to 31% of total vote.

Get your votes in, personally, I felt all these were high quality titles, though I do think 96% is a bit high (for me) for Halo.

220 votes in so far!

Halo continues to lead at 30% of the vote, now its time for the next shift of GS members to weigh in.

Get your vote in!

Bioshock may be on that list soon, it's currently doing a 95 on gamerankingsswanlee

Bioshock was in the 96% range but its falling. These games have established probably all the reviews they will have.

250 votes in, Halo is still leading with 30% of the vote.

My personal favourites of last gen is a tie between RE4 and MPHaziqonfire

Same here but I give RE4 the edge because of its replay value.

ummm where's bioshock?killaj2786

I love your sig

I laughed so hard when I was watching that.

ummm where's bioshock?killaj2786

1. Bioshocks not at 96%

2. Bioshocks reviews have not finalized,the game isstill getting more reviews

Update.....302 votes in, Halo continues to lead with 31% of the vote

Metroid Prime!

Though HL 2 was ground breaking at it's time as well.

[QUOTE="Nedemis"]I didn't play the xbox for the first 10 months it was out mearly because I was a strict Nintendo fan. Fortunately, one of my co-workers invited me over to his place to play some Halo co-op and to try out Morrowind on the Xbox. Within the week, I had gone out and purchased a xbox SOLELY for Halo only to find that the genre that I enjoy the most (FPS) would be supported the most on the xbox (for a console). AFBrat77

Strangely, your experience was similar to mine. I was a strict PC Gamer (since January 1997) who had no interest in console games until I played my nephew's Metroid Prime. At that point I realized I was wrong in snubbing console games, and I promptly went out and bought a GC and my first (and still fav) console game, Metroid Prime.

LOL, pc gamer turned to a sad sheep? sorry, really hard to believe you were a strict pc gamer.

Most definitely was, my first games were Diablo, Quake, Tomb Raider, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 2, and a game called Rama.

Metroid Prime at the very least belongs in the same group as some of those greats. I'm still as much a PC Gamer as Sheep, even more so, I play Guild Wars every night almost.

im torn between prime and HL2. im siding with prime though simply because i prefer adventure games. i know thats the one id pick up if i had to choose. thankfully i have both and love em to bits :D.osan0

That was my choices as well, Prime won out for me also.

Diablo was the reason I got heavily into gaming to begin with, it was my first game. Addictive as hell, and it still is the highest rated PC game at GS i believe.

Wow, we are pushing 400 votes now, as I said before, the Halo fans are out in force, no doubt looking for news on Halo 3. Still at 30% of vote.
