Twilight Princess. 33rd best game ever.

Oblivion 5th. Friggen amazing. Probably still the best 360 game, and it is in the argument for PS3 game.

999. No, just no.

Radiant Historia. Want to play it, haven't had a chance.

Ico/Shadow. Ico is good (but overrated) SotC SUCKS (but overrated).

Duke Nukem Forever. One of the few games ever I regret buying.

ICO / SOTC are two of the best games of all-time.

Twilight Princess will feel a little derivative, but it's a solid game.

Decent game.

Boring.

Ok. Unless you are talking about the remastered double pack. In which case I don't know if they fixed the horrendous framerate issue SotC had. Ico was cool, SotC was kinda boring.

Which Duke Nukem!!?

Twilight Princess : Good

Elder Scrolls Oblivion 5th Anniversary (Does this have everything?) : Bad Elder Scrolls, Good RPG

that 999 DS game : No idea, b8ers seem to like it though

Radiant Historia : Same for this game

That Ico\Shadow of the Colossus game (IB ulti) : No idea

Duke Nukem : Biggest disappointment of the decade

I don't hate games! It's actually quite rare for me not to complete a game once I start playing them, Oblivion was just so boring...I couldn't continue after 4 hours in. Ico I have no problems with, it's just average, SotC would have be decent if it wasn't for the framerate drops, which kind turned me off to it.

I love Duke Nukem, I haven't played Forever though.

They are all probably worth a rent out of the ones I played, except for Oblivion. Did not like that game at all.

999 - fantastic game.
Radiant Historia - best standard jrpg on the DS. probably best across both systems even. i can't say it's the best RPG on the system - Castlevania OoE and Etrian Odyssey 3 exist - but it definitely is a top 3, and a top 5 across handhelds.

DNF - if this is PC, pretty great. if it's not, avoid.

Twilight Princess - Fairly great Zelda game, though I don't care for it as much as the rest of the 3d Zeldas.

that 999 DS game - Fantastic until the train wreck true ending.

That Ico\Shadow of the Colossus game (IB ulti) - Haven't played Ico but SotC is pretty fantastic.

SotC was epic. I don't understand why people think that game is horrible, though I could see why it wouldn't be liked if you hate puzzles. SotC is really just a puzzle game where the puzzles move and try to kill you.

As for ICO, I will never understand why people think that game is a top game of all time. I can see the appeal and it has it's crowed, but Top 5 for ICO is a bit much.

Really haven't played any of the other games. Oblivion would freeze my Xbox and never tried it since. Plan to get Skyrim though.

Just that awesome
~InsaneOne

i was playing through ico but i just kind of got bored of it

i don't even know how close i am to the end, i'm just kind of done with it

i'm all for atmosphere and all that, but some wonky controls and frankly annoying combat make the puzzles a bigger hassle than they should be

looking forward to starting sotc soon, though.

Twilight Princess- If you want to play a zelda game youve never played before this ones pretty zelda-ish. The wolf portions handle really poorly on the wii though. Do yourself a a favor and get your hands on the gamecube version.

Elder Scrolls Oblivion 5th Anniversary (Does this have everything?)- This does FINALLY have everything, but get it for the PC if you can. Tons of fanmod packs out there that'll keep you playing the game for...well 5 years.

that 999 DS gameDo you like Visual Novels, such as Umineko, Fate/Stay Night, etc.? If you do this is a pretty decent one with lots of different endings and puzzles that are admittedly pretty eh.

Radiant Historia-More or less the best RPG for the DS

That Ico\Shadow of the Colossus game (IB ulti) lol ulti- its worth playing if youve never played it before

Duke Nukem- dunno

edwardsdv and swordz9 are basically the comedy heel tag team of this topic, why would people be taking them seriously?

haven't played 999. the rest I'm not a big fan of.

Opinion on the ones I've played:

Twilight Princess - 8/10, good game but one of the worst Zeldas, still worth playing.

Radiant Historia - 9/10, amazing for its low budget, great concept, story and characters.

Shadow of the Colossus - 10/10, still one of the best games ever.

Best Zelda

Great game, put 120 hours into it, and never technically beat it >__>

Pretty good. I have a really weird love/hate relationship with it. You need to dedicate a ton of playthroughs to get anything meaningful out of it, but it's so, so worth it.

Couldn't tell you.

Both games are fantastic artistically. There are very few games like them. I'd say they both need to be played by anyone that has the means, though owned is a different story. Personally, I could never get into Ico at all, but SotC is one of my favorite games of all-time.

I had DNF preordered, then backed off once I realized what a mistake paying full price for that game would be. I feel I made a really good decision there.

I'll try to give this as objectively as possible.

Twilight Princess - An improved version of Ocarina of Time with no real strong or lasting additions. Gameplay-wise it's a very strong title, but comparing it to Ocarina from the standpoint of exploring a fresh new world is a bit underwhelming. I personally didn't like it, and would suggest renting it before purchasing. I think it's only, like, $20 new now anyway so.

Elder Scrolls Oblivion - You get dumped into a world full of stuff to do and limited direction on how to do it after a tutorial spoonfeeds you how to play the game. There's a lot more stuff than the last thing that had more stuff so if you liked the first stuff you'll like this stuff and there's a dude named Sheogorath and he does stuff and that stuff is pretty awesome. But really, it's a definitive WRPG. If exploration is your thing, you'll love it. If you prefer to get right to the action or story, while there are some workarounds, it's not going to be the best choice, and I would suggest something like Demon's Souls or Deus Ex Human Revolution instead.

999 - There's a lot of reading and trial & error gameplay to get specific endings, coupled with a few rudimentary puzzles and Phoenix Wright-like investigation to progress the plot. Professor Layton does the whole 'puzzle' aspect much better, and the investigation scenes only serve to pad the game out so that it can explain a lot of information. The story draws more on how dire the scenario is than character interactions/motivations until about halfway, to contrast with, say, Umineko. There's a lot of reading and an interesting scenario presented in a Saw-like fashion, but with an overarching theme of teamwork. Really no way to say if it's your kind of game or not without playing.

ICO/SotC - Just play Shadow of the Colossus. There's really no way to properly rate Shadow of the Colossus. The game has clunky controls and very awkward physics along with an annoying camera, but its sense of scope is unparalleled. Basically, by the fourth colossus, you'll know whether or not you love this game or hate it. Personally I find it really freaking boring, but it's based on how much the experience as a whole absorbs you.

Duke Nukem - There are better FPS's. Much better FPS's. But there aren't better FPS's that star Duke Nukem than Duke Nukem games. So if you like Duke Nukem, you can't get more Duke Nukem than Duke Nukem.

Twilight Princess: It's not as revolutionary or mind-blowing as some of the earlier games (it really is more of a refinement of the 3D Zelda game formula), but if you keep your expectations at reasonable levels, you'll enjoy it if you're a Zelda fan.

Oblivion: Never got more than a couple hours into this one. Can't say.

999: I liked it, even though I'm usually not a fan of visual novels. The puzzles are pretty fun to figure out, but they're separated by walls and walls of text. Its text-to-gameplay ratio is even greater than the Ace Attorney games, if that helps. Still, the plot and characters were entertaining enough to hold my attention, and you have a fast-forward option on replays that allows for skipping text you've sat through on earlier playthroughs. It's built to be played multiple times for its dialogue trees (for whatever that may be worth to you), its six endings (and even if you just want the "true" ending, you'll have to play at least twice), and its different puzzles. Oh, and I think it's already been said that the game s***s all over itself in the "true" ending.

Radiant Historia: Been wanting to play this one for a while. Can't say.

Ico: Never played.

Shadow of the Colossus: Believe it or not, there are a lot of people out there (myself included) who thought this was just "okay." It seems to draw out some seriously polarizing responses from others, hence the game being called one of the best or one of the worst games ever whenever it's brought up. I've got my own opinions on various aspects of the game, but I'd recommend going ahead and playing it. Whether you wind up liking it or hating it, it's something that ought to be played, since it really is one-of-a-kind. Never played the HD version, so I can't say anything about that.

Duke Nukem Forever: I haven't played it, but it seems to me that its reception would have been a bit better if it had been called "Duke Nukem [something else]." Seems to me like a lot of fans and critics feel burned that they waited fourteen years for what they feel is an average-at-best shooter. Another common criticism is the whole "the Duke Nukem style of humor that we all thought was so funny when we were in middle school and playing Duke Nukem 3D just comes across as crass and childish today" complaint, so keep that in mind.

Phew!
