Homeworld

It is my favorite game. It's, in my opinion, is the best game ever made. It was so well made, had perfect gameplay balances, was cinematic, and had one of the best stories in a video game ever. Playing it today doesn't feel like you're playing some old retro game with crappy menus and clunky controls, it holds up against the newest titles today. The online was very interesting as the emphasis was on controlling the map and resource gathering. Unlike Starcraft, you had to go get your resources very far from your mothership or carrier, making them very vunerable. Battles usually took place out in spots in space, not near the motherships.

Seriously some of the most fun I've ever had with a RTS ever.

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies

This is arcade flight perfection here. The missions were massive with just TONS of stuff going on. Each battle felt more epic than the last. The story was told through beautifully hand drawn stills and narrated by a pretty talented voice actor. Although the story got a bit cheesy, you'll never forget some of the levels. Epic soundtrack, massive scale, excellent graphics, and tons of action are what makes this game a genre definer. You'll never forget your battle with Stonehenge or the massive battle against Megalith.

Diablo 2

Does this game really even need a freaken introduction? It's Blizzard at its finest!

ArmA Series

Really if you've seen my sig you know I absolutly love the ArmA series. ArmA and ArmA 2 with their expansions have provided me with near 1000 hours of gameplay. I love playing co-op, I love making missions, I love the tactical feel, and I really just love the community. Great mods, great people, good times. Haters gunna hate, this game satisfies a deeper level of shooting most games just can't hit.

Total War Series

I know I'm lumping lots of games together with these whole "series" things, but since the gameplay is always so damn similar and I really just loved every second of each of the games pretty much equally. I'm a fan of strategy games that move a bit slower AND are persisent (which is why Homeworld is the best game ever made). Total War is one of the first RTSs that really embraced the idea of the large scale battles but then decided to make each battle actually mean something on a larger conflict, it's really awesome. Makes every single engagement mean something much more than your APM and winning at all costs. There are also moments that the Total War games bring that you can't get anywhere else in gameing.

Half Life 2

What can I say, I drove 1 hour and paid 20 bucks at a lan cafe just to play the first few levels of this game on a PC when it came out in 2004. It was worth every penny. I've since had the fortune of owning several gaming PCs and be able to play through it mulitple times, never gets old. I love the story, love the look, love everything about it.

Halo Combat Evolved

I always get flamed for this one, but I think it's the best FPS ever. I'm not even going to bother justifying that, you all by now should know the reasons for that. Also it had "The Library"... probably the best FPS level ever.

Call of Duty

Ok it's obvious now, I love my FPSs, especially WWII ones. In 2005 when CoD came out nobody had played anything like it. It was Medal of Honor Allied Assault on steroids and a completely different approach. Gone was the days you were completely alone. The battle's were HUGE and cinimatic, the levels were brilliant, the action was intense, the voice acting suprisingly good, online was a blast, and the fact you were rarely alone on the battle field was something other games only ever gave you a glimps of. It's amazing.

I just love gaming to much.
