The best and worst of PC Games

[PC WhizzKid]

Hello guys,

Please list the best and the worst computer games you have played with reasons why.

The Best:

Race Driver Series (except Grid): So many different types of car racing in one game.

The Worst:

King of the Road: Too many bugs.

No quicker way to reach 2000 posts than to race somebody.

Distracts me from beating Jim to Gold.

Hello guys,

Please list the best and the worst computer games you have played with reasons why.

What time parameters? Recent or 'all of time'?

I've played some truly awful games and some truly great games.

I'll add my 2 cents when I find them...

I play games for many reasons.

But often very often its to explore the limits of my hardware. For the average home user games are hands down the most difficult applications for our computers to run.
They are in effect a demonstration of technology.

For that reason I love Crisis warhead 64. The eye candy and sounds are just awesome.

For GREAT on-line multi player running and gunning I love Unreal tournament 3.
Fantastic action, active on-line community, mature bug free status, lots of mods,
fantastic servers world wide.

For late night creepyness and Fear 2 is excellent as is Left for Dead 1 and 2. Also GREAT for eye candy.

Currently my most dissapointing game is Mirrors Edge... In my opinion the environment looks like crap and the game play world/concept of hot Asian chicks running around and jumping on stuff is not enough of a draw. I got it to show case Nvidias Physx. Major YAWN!

Cool topic

Best:
Probably EVE Online (Has kept me addicted the longest anyways...).
Good graphics, and the sandbox environment, which means players that have been playing since 03 still have something fun to do.

Worst:
Hmmmm.... Tough. I tend to only buy games I really like, so... Perhaps those games that they make from movies. Those seem really dumb.

Unfortunately, the same applies to the movies made from games

The Prince of Persia movie actually looks kind of cool, but I don't really know.

As for Doom, well. That is Doom.

Q. What is one man that should have his hands cut off, eyes gouged out and never allowed near a camera?

A. Uwe Boll

I can't really say what game is the best, it really depends on what I'm in the mood for playing. Right now I'm playing CoD4(because I'm to cheap for CoD6), Burnout Paradise, Mass Effect, Torchlight, and Crysis. They all have certain qualities I enjoy.

For the worst, I can't say it's the worst just I'll never play it again, World of Warcraft.

The worst: Windows Solitaire

Distracts me from beating Jim to Gold.

Try Spider Solitaire -- this is even more addictive.

Don't think I've got around to playing Spider Solitaire since I got Windows 7 but I know what you mean about it being addictive

To be honest I don't really play games on the computer I've got a couple but they're the hidden object type game, at present I'm mainly playing my Nintendo DS bought another game for that on Saturday, Pirates of the Caribbean.

 

[Wishmaster]

I love RPGs so:

Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect both fairly recent that were very good IMHO.

Also worth mentioning:
Dead Space, Left for Dead (1 & 2) I enjoyed them.

I know many say Crysis was great .. but for me ... Meh .. it looked good but the gameplay was lacking and got boring fast.
Wouldnt go so far as to call horrible though.

 

[Nikolay]

My current top PC games are: Modern Warfare 2 and Fallout 3. Anyone else waiting for Fallout New Vegas?

I don't play bad games so I wouldn't know.

 

[Tommy Trauma]

iRacing!!!!

Tellem Tommy sent ya.

 

[jav]

anyone played: Tribal Wars - The browser game

one of two games I was addicted

 

[hybridfan]

Best HL2 ok a bit dated now but when it came out I was amazed by it, still good fun to play.

Worst Rise of Nations 3 so dumb.

 

[Everlong]

Best game I've played is Star Wars Galaxies. Been playing it for just over 5 years now, and as much crap the game has gone through with updates (if anyone one here has ever played it, they most likely will know) it still keeps me playing. It was the first MMO I ever played, and the only MMO I still do play, the pure sandbox environment and community keeps me playing as well as it being Star Wars.

Not sure what the worst game is, though probably Ship Simulator, or World of Warcraft, something like that.
