: I know I don't need to say this but I will: Marathon is the best game ever,
: period.
Ditto. 'nuff said. :)
: I also like horror-survival games like Resident
: Evil, Silent Hill and Dino Crisis. My favorites also include all Tony Hawk
: games (as with Tomb Rider, no PS2, so no TH undergrond :-( ) And I like
: driving games too, with Gran Turismo 2 at the top of my list.
You should try out Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. Fun game, and best of all, the console (my only one, a Dreamcast) now costs as low as $20 in stores (I live in the U.S., don't know about elsewhere).
I think it uses a modified Tomb Radier engine, and while characters talk without any facial movements/expressions (the hero talks without a lower jaw!), it's still a really great adventure/puzzle game and has some of the best darn voice acting ever. Just wish they included sub-titles, but ah well can't have it all.
.....but I'm sort of horrified by the stage I'm currently playing, loaded with my big 3 phobias rolled into one ball of terror: Vampiric Zombie Spider-men. Weee. Excuse me while I curl up into a fetal position under my desk, crying silently to myself.
