Maybe not the best games, but ones that for whatever reason mean and meant a lot to me.

Played this from its beginning, created by two people (Gooseman, Cliffe)Half-Life mod. I preferred the realism of this mod to the others around at the time, it was simple yet totally addictive. I even went so far as designing some maps and joining a clan. We hosted our own game servers on the jolt network [Cult Gaming], I still game with some of the guys now. I think I played this game for about 4 years, past CS Source. I drop in now and again for a quick blast and get my arse handed to me. Fav maps. Italy, Dust and Office. Also one which had a swimming pool and house in it, started out dropping off from a helicopter.
Played this loads on the Atari 800xl, great competitive action. Adored the music and brilliant multiplayer. Gameplay still holds up well today, this game was the reason that I got an 800XL.
Great platformer with mega music, fun and original level designs, tough yet addictive gameplay. Your jumping had to be pixel perfect, else you would be killed by a man eating toilet. I played this for hrs, days, weeks and months after school. Trying to get further than may mates, comparing stories of our deaths and progress at school. Those days the ZXspectrum ruled....
I went through a stage when all i played were fps, HL2 is a masterpiece. It should all that followed what was expected, and therefore making most the them seem soul less. I waited years for the sequel, read all the stories about the code leak, but i had faith and holy crap did it deliver. I had it preloaded via steam and was at work when the news broke that the game activation was live. I just jump from my desk and left, ramming across the m62 to home (my mates flat that I was living in at the time). I played the first night of hl2 gaming with several other friends over roger wilco, chatting as we played. GREAT TIMES
ZXSpectrum
It was the days of the pc 486 days, we managed to get hold of some network cards and setup a IPX network. Hooked up 5 pcs and was blown away. Doom started my pc upgrade addiction. I even got into trouble at work once for setting up a doom network whilst working one bank holiday. Looking out the window, looking for my next victim, great times. I still play the hanger music today on my ipod, whenever I hear it I just want to get the shotgun out and kill some ugly demon monsters.
Why did I like this game so much, maybe the fun characters, or catchy tune . No it was because of the feel of the game, the control of the jet ski. At this time I had never tried the real thing, but this just seemed to give me that true feel. I felt that i was riding the wave, skimming on the top of the wave. Add awesome competitive AI and this was also the first time I remember sun flair in any game. I enjoyed the game so that, that I completed it on nin64 and on pc with an emulator .
Although I adored the sequel, the impact on playing the first uncharted with no expectations was a delight. I played it right through, so taken by the story and the amazing funny as hell characters. I was so impressed that the next day I wrote a letter directly to the developers to saying how much i enjoyed their game. If the world was fair, than Uncharted series would sell around 15million units each. A++ game, from a A++ developer. I am also intrigued on the development methodology they adopt., sounds rad and seems to delivery excellent results.
completed many times, on xbox 360 and PC. This game changed my taste in games. And made me remember that challenge is good, and something i need
Arcade Machine, my fav
