Nexus Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Portal got in 3rd? Holy shit. Problem? Nexus found Chell amusing? Either that or s/he needs to learn the difference between "protagonist" and "antagonist". Still, good list so far. Have we had Ico yet? I'm betting on Imagine Babyz for #1. Typoed. I wrote it at like 6am. Shut up. So Halo CE is #1? also, Portal = #3? Um no. You really have a problem with actually reading don't you? Look: Joint 24th: Halo: Combat Evolved Xbox, PC, Mac, Xbox 360 Total Points: 29 Number of number 1 votes: 1 (TheMightyEthan) Number of votes: 4 (TheMightyEthan, Chrno XIII, mergedwarrior, kenshi_ryden) Halo: Combat Evolved is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios. The first game of the Halo franchise, it was released on November 15, 2001 as a launch title for the Xbox gaming system, and is considered the platform's "killer app". With more than five million copies sold worldwide as of November 9, 2005, Microsoft released versions of the game for Microsoft Windows (ported by Gearbox Software) and Mac OS X in 2003, and the surrounding storyline was adapted and elaborated into a series of novels and comic books. The game was later released as an Xbox Original for download onto an Xbox 360 HDD. Halo is set in the twenty-sixth century, with the player assuming the role of the Master Chief, a cybernetically enhanced super-soldier. The player is accompanied by Cortana, an artificial intelligence who occupies the Master Chief's neural interface. Players battle various aliens on foot and in vehicles as they attempt to uncover the secrets of the eponymous Halo, a ring-shaped artificial planet. The game has been called "easy to learn", and has been praised for its "engaging story." Nexus says: "Lots of fun, I enjoyed Halo." Hurr durr Halo CE is going to be number 1. Almost as good as "There is no GTA on the list" "Oh GTA 4 will be on the list somewhere." Turnip. Edited May 19, 2011 by Nexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 2nd: Half Life 2 PC, Xbox, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Mac Total Points: 69 Number of number 1 votes: 2 (p4warrior, Vargras) Number of votes: 5 (p4warrior, Vargras, VicariousShaner, mergedwarrior, Yantelope) Half-Life 2, the sequel to Half-Life, is a first-person shooter video game and a signature title in the Half-Life series. It is singleplayer, story-driven, science fiction, and linear. Developed by Valve Corporation, it was initially released on November 16, 2004, following a protracted five-year, $40 million development cycle, during which a substantial part of the project was leaked and distributed on the internet. The game was developed alongside Source and Steam. It introduced the game engine and, because of Steam, is the first video game to require online product activation. Like its predecessor, Half Life 2 was met with near-unanimous critical acclaim. It was praised for its advanced physics, animation, sound, AI, graphics, and narrative. The game won 39 "Game of the Year" awards, and several publications have named it "Game of the Decade". Over 6.5 million copies of Half-Life 2 were sold at retail by December 3, 2008, making it a best selling PC game. This figure does not include the significant number of sales through Steam. It has since been revealed that the game sold 12 million copies as of February 9, 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Well, looking back, I appear to be the only person who put COD4 on their list at all. It has to be KOTOR then. Edited May 19, 2011 by Yantelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexus Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 1st: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Xbox, PC, Mac Total Points: 88 Number of number 1 votes: 1 (topeka!) Number of votes: 11 (p4warrior, Papu, TheMightyEthan, Yantelope, Hot Heart, mergedwarrior, Gyaruson, Nexus, Aki, Chewblaha, topeka!) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR) is a role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by LucasArts. It was released for the Xbox on July 15, 2003, for Microsoft Windows on November 19, 2003, and on September 7, 2004 for Mac OS X. The Xbox version is playable on Xbox 360 with its Backward Compatibility feature. The PC version was re-released as part of the Star Wars: The Best of PC collection in 2006 as a limited release. The sequel, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords, was developed by Obsidian Entertainment at BioWare's suggestion as BioWare wanted to focus on their own intellectual properties. Jeremy Soule wrote the soundtrack score for the game. Nexus says:"KOTOR is a ridiculous amount of fun. It indulged my d20 enjoyment, and added in some graphics and a good storyline, so it's awesome. Number 1 by virtue of volumes of votes. Well deserved." Well, there we have it, the top 53 games from TAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Hmm. KOTOR. I agree. I wonder if they'd be up for an HD remake for it. I'd like an HD remake, yeah. That, and the original version does not play well with my modern system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yay. I picked a game that was in the top ten...at number one. The Xbox version is playable on Xbox 360 with its Backward Compatibility feature. That's a bit of an overstatement, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Awesome list, Nexus; this was fun. Yeah, most of us wouldn't put down KOTOR as our personal favorite, but it obviously struck a chord with a lot of different gamers here.

Yantelope Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yeah, this list seems more like "what game has been meaningful to the most gamers". I guess KOTOR has pretty wide appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Also, I think it would be really cool to do a breakdown of platform/developer/genre etc. for those of us who like numbers. Maybe one of us could take it on so Nexus doesn't implode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
