Myself it goes like this.
1.Dues Ex
2.Fallout 3
3. Freedom Fighters
Now I could go on and on being I'm a old-school gamer. So i go way back and all. But these are the games that truly standout as most memorable and most innovative or story driven for there times. Or for if not just be an all out very well put together game in every aspect.
Dues Ex and Fallout 3 could really be more like a 1a 1b becuase both are battling very hard for the top spot with me. Honestly I think Fallout 3 is better then Dues Ex. Problem is I have to take into time-frame here. And for 2000 Dues Ex on PC is unmatched for that time. The game is truly great in every aspect. It's a shame a lot of console only players missed out on what a truly great game is and why we have hermits in the first place. I know Dues Ex 2 kind of blew for some still a good game just not on par with Dues Ex 1. If they make Dues Ex 3 anywhere near as good as 1 this will be the one game that makes me build a new gaming PC.
As for Fallout 3 it is just a STUPENDOUS GAME PERIOD. If you can get past a few hours and really learn to make your player a beast and become a expert always repairing your weapons and managing your inventory then boy is this game an alltime classic. I'm pulling ridiculous combo's now. Like hitting an enemy with vats with my hunting riffle and then letting them keeping coming in to only walk over a mine I had already placed. And then instantly go to vats again and hit them with one last head shot for a bloody mess shot. And yes i have the bloody mess perk. The game is a masterpiece in everyway. The game is huge and you can do anything anyway and it's just done so darn good thanks Bethesda you really show everyone up when it comes to open world games.
Freedom Fighters is a game that slipped under a lot of peoples radar like Dues Ex did. But honestly Freedom Fighters is the kind of game that makes waking up on Saturday mornings to game something special. The game was just very good with great accomplishment feeling after completing a level. And it just had that once every so often charisma that makes a game truly special. I'm truly hoping that a Freedom Fighters 2 comes out and hoping they don't mess it up.
And there you have it my top 3 for the past 25 years of gaming. Rygar for NES still holds a special place with me would make my top 5-6 for sure.
