People play retro games for many reasons. Nostalgia is one reason but some people just see an iresistable charm to the older games which you don't really see anymore. Another reason is simply that a certain game just hasn't been bested. One thing about the video game industry is that it's just DIFFERENT from what it used to be. At a certain point in video game history (I'd say around the PS1 era) video games changed for the times and eventually turned into what it is today. Granted, consoles back then had their share of crappy games but at the same time had games like Chrono Trigger and the like. The same could be said of the generation today but I feel this generation just reeks in... mediocrity. But that doesn't mean there aren't good games today. There certainly are, but as far as this generation goes, not as many.

everyone is always procaliming that pc games will die, yet here we are, still playing games on pc inyourface_12

[QUOTE="123monkey"]Hi as you are all experienced gamers i would like to ask you if there are any games out with really good story lines, deep and in-depth, a story that gets you involved. If you have any ideas please post. Thanks alot.Atlas_FTW

Well anybody that says Half Life 2 will receive an automatic flame from me, because the Half Life series has no sort of storyline what so ever. I bought the series expecting some sort of 'teh awesomeness' of a storyline, and there's really no sort of storyline at all.

I think Skull Heart was just trying to say that HL:2's story was short and stupid (probably because Valved was afraid of making a mistake).

Maybe because people see HL2 for what it is.. a fun standard FPS, but way over rated.. besides, there are so many big name games coming out that anything do to with HL2 has been overshadowed.Rattlesnake_8

HALO PC- Supports up to 16 people in aserver for multiplayer.Good graphics, and what I like to call a budget value game. It was made by microsoft so you know your getting good, and its only 20 bucks. Seriously though the campaign is like pretty long even at easy and no one can resist a challenge at legendary.
