Inspired by this: http://www.gamesradar.com/f/landmarks-o ... 2947578004The ones that spring to mind for me, in no particular order, are: The Streets of Rage series - I can still play them to this day, against the odds. Worms - the original game, again I still play it. The Doom series The Strike games (Desert, Jungle etc) Batman Arkham Asylum Darksiders The CoD Modern Warfare series (even though the plot's were utterly laughable, and especially the multiplayer goodness). The GTA series (even the fourth game to some degree). More as they come to me... So, yours?  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Baldur's Gate
Oblivion
If I had the chance, I could probably got back and spend another 500 hours or so on Gran Turismo 3 as well; all the others added a 'feature' that completely [LIFTED] up the game for me.

I think Oblivion is one of those games I'll pick up years from now and wonder why I didn't before*  * Too much to play, too much on the way in the next three months alone... _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

The games that turned me into a gaming fanatic were all on the acorn a3000 and I played them all before I was about 7 or 8. Lemmings Nevryon Powerband Racing Boogie Buggie And of course Prince of Persia That was about it for me for the first 5 to 6 years of my gaming life. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=53.851104,-1.531036

In chronological order:
Asteroids, Galaxians, PacMan, Frogger etc... from the mid 1980s
Elite (Electron version)
Duke Nukem 3D
Doom
Quake (all of them)
Hexen - Beyond Heretic (still has the best weapons I've ever seen)
Descent 1 in multi-player over a serial cable, later D2 over IPX/SPX
Then I got the internet, and my joystick hand found other uses.
