I have been playing the 'Company of Heroes' demo to bits!
As far as full games go;
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Oblivion
Broken Sword Sleeping Dragon
LOTR Battle of Middle Earth
Beyond Good and Evil Cool

Stumpus: Solid and great games straight through.
But "Beyond Good and Evil", probably taken from Nietzches "Jenseits von Gut und Böse" by some loon, is the real gem - I played that game to bits when I by a coincidence got my hands on it.

Great music, story, charachters (Jade for the win!) - everything!

Hold on to it Wink

Yes your very right about 'Farenheit' re: the ending, similar to good films/movies as far as that goes eh. Still i had had enough at that point -of wanting to see the end- so it suited me. There is a follow-up in the making. Cool

Oh ho,ho. 'Giants' was/is utter insanity! (yes i own it) i love the pi$$ take of the Scottish accent -yes i'm a scot as you can see- they got that down to a tee!! So full of originality, what more can you say.

You've got class, nice to meet a guy that enjoys quality Wink

I've been in the PC game for 11-12years and played games like '7th Guest','Shivers',Simon the Sorceror 1 & 2 (3 was/is crappo!) 'Blade Runner' even 'Under a Killing Moon'. Mention games like those to folks and they go '?'
Last i looked i had 300 going on 400 PC games of all generes. I truly love games that are well put together, like playing a book!
Now of course it get's harder but there's no doubt that even the <cough> PS2 has some very cleverly witten classics that wont make a PC anytime soon; 'Ico','Forbidden Siren','Shadow of the Colosus and even the 'Silent Hill' series are amazing to me (clever japanese -nothing new there eh?)

Honeslty, I'd like to see a picture of your 400 pc games.

I'd imagine at the time of Killing Moon and Blade Runner you were getting them ripped. Games were a synch to rip back then or had stupid code wheels and things. I remember renting them and spending a few hours copying by hand those intricate protection schemes. I have a tremendous amount of games. I have my original Rise of the Triad box! Only recently I threw out all my 5 1/4 disks from 80's and before!

At the same time you need to remember that there are a hell of a lot more gamers these days and a lot more games then there was back then. With such a immense selection of games these days people are so spread out. When internet gaming took off it just spread people more.

I don't think anyone has 'class' because they played something you did. You mention Quality games, quality, in your opinion. I think you forget obvious 'facts of the time' of release of those games.

I've probably got close to 300 or so as well, excluding all the Abandonware, which isn't actually that big a number.
I have a rediculously large retro gaming collection though.

hrm, let's see what I'm playing.

Shadow Of Colossus again, for the 5th time on Hard Mode.
Fallout 2 (with the unofficial patches)
BFME 2
Rollercoaster Tycoon 3
Oblivion with Oscuro's 1.3 patch
Unreal Tournament (the original and best)
System Shock 2 (with the texture mods and balancing fixes)
Bounty Bob Strikes Back on the Commodore 64.
Still trying to complete Exile on the Commodore Amiga after so long.
I intend on playing the Silent Hill series through again just so my girlfriend can experience the true horror of it all Laughing

Safer, I complete agree about Xenogears, I played it straight after completing FF7 and loved it to bits Smile

You should try getting hold of the Yasunori Mitsuda & Millennial recording of the Xenogears music, truely excellent studio renditions of the in-game music.

devilhood; I do have the recordings Wink

Great music fan of both Mitsuda, Kō Ōtani (The guy who wrote the soundtrack for SoTC) and Uematsu - while I do have a pretty big collection of CD's I have imported, now most of the music I have moved to digital form (FLAC) or have as images - a bit more hasselfree I think.

Tetsuya Takahashi - the creator of Xeongears also wrote the script for Xenosaga (which I'm currently playing through due to some problems getting them imported) has himself noted that the scrips meant for a 5 part series was considerbly cut only to 3 which I have noted since things feel a bit "compact" even in the first episod.
Yet I love the subtle the Nietzchan title; Der Wille zur Macht - the Will to Power.
