mario sunshine, it's not even a quarter as good as mario 64(and yes n64 does have some good games!). other nintendo games i have little respect for metroid prime(boring), pikmin(first, wtf?!, second this game took me less than a day to beat and i never wanted to play again), and lastly wind waker(sailing isn't fun).

*as a caveat i do respect some of the above game's graphics but graphics don't matter, only gameplay does, so therefore i don't respect them, understood?


True Dat! The graphics aren't really all that important as compared to the gameplay, that is why Mrio Bros. 3 can compete with halflife.

What's the difference between Duke Nukem 3D and GTA: VC? You like the bankruptcy of moral values in one but not the other?
Yeah, if you want to get all PC aboot it, Duke Nuken objectifies women a hell of a lot more, and advocates the devil and othersuch tomfoolery and skulduggery. Not to mention it has terrible language.


Regarding the Doc issue, I'd say Dr Spike was much cooler

Full PM-box? Change here!

I wouldn't really say C&C:TS was all that popular - compared with the games either side of it - RA and RA2, also C&C:Generals, it palesinto nothingness in comparison.

This may be getting beyond games for which you have no respect and heading towards games that you just don't like. I don't like The Sims but I gotta respect the enormous (reported) popularity of it, for whatever reason. FPS don't usually thrill me, but most of them have some kind of value. Halo is the shallowest of these for me, but I respect that it was one of the XBoxes only early hits.

Yep, DrSpike had recognition.

Now you and Dr Strangelove are the docs of the forum (not to mention Dinodoc).


Back on topic, I liked GTA, though I don't own any of the series. Fun to drive a tank through the city, and battle the military.

As for those I did not like, I would have to add Civ 3. I don't care if I get banned, but I played it and fell asleep.

Civilization 3

I'd say all first-person shooters, but I haven't really played any since... Doom 2 I think. But I just don't feel like trying either... Well, maybe GTA3 (since I liked 1 and 2).

And then there's that game called SimCity. *barf*

I have no respect for sports games. It isn't so much that I have zero interest in hockey, american football, basketball, baseball or soccer, but that these titles are updated every year with little improvement.

Totally, but CS is pretty cool for LAN parties. I really like Unreal Tournament and Halo for LAN Parties though. Unreal tourney could use some level design help tho.

Difficult one........

As most games i know i'm unlikely to like - i dont buy.

But as a broad guess pretty much any game made after 2000, give or take a year.

Oh and Dr.Spike looks best(Doc is too short)

The go ahead and download it from the official site
It's not playable in WinXP though



But GTA2 works in WinXP, and is a great LAN-party game (Just played it like two minutes ago )

They where all good, but Simcity 4 brought something new to the game and made it into more than just a sandbox.
