Paperboy Posts: 45 Joined: 9 Jul 2008   | Odin Sphere and Tales of the Abyss are two that I need to play and want to, I just never get around to do so. There are other games that bored me, but that I still feel like i should play, the one comming to mind right now is Skies of Arcadia. |

Yeah... About that... Half life 1's plot is meaningless at best, nonexistent at worst. Besides, HL2's plot kinda fills you in and it doesn't really connect to the original. So don't worry about it. |

Muckraker  Posts: 286 Joined: 25 Jan 2008    | Ico and Baldur's Gate are at the top of the list. After that comes the first six Final Fantasies and Half-Life 2 (although I don't know if Half-Life 2 counts as old yet). |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 100 Joined: 26 Jun 2008  | I am actually impressed with Spleeni's suggestions to which half the games are actually decent. I would also suggest anyone who doesn't mind being killed constantly for being a beginner untill learning how the controls work, Battlefield 2142 or any of that series, but only choose one from becuase they are pretty much the same. Just remember this: The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 80 Joined: 6 Aug 2008  | In a way, IWBTG is begging me to hunt it down. Mainly though, Battletoads. Ico is on there too, but it just never looked too appealing to me. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3213 Joined: 10 Nov 2007 | MGS4. It's sitting in the pile, waiting for me to actually get around to it. Maybe when they patch trophy support in, since they've just done that for Uncharted I'm getting a Dual Shock 3 to replay that with this weekend. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4297 Joined: 20 Dec 2007   | I have to beat Sot FARKING Collossus but I can't find it in any FARKING store... seriously, such a popular game and it's nowhere to be found. Goes for Silent Hill also but I've played the second one, not the first. Then there are the games I actually own and still haven't beaten. |

Muckraker  Posts: 327 Joined: 29 May 2008 | Is no one going to mention any games that were actual defining moments in gaming history, or is it just going to be all rehashed modern day drivel? I have yet to play XCOM: UFO Defence, Dune II and Grim Fandango. |

Actually, Half Life 2 starts awhile after the end of the first one and beating Half Life doesn't bear much significance, it seems like you know enough of the backstory to play it. As for me, I've heard the Beyond Good and Evil was good, and with the impending sequel, I should probably try the first one. Also I think I should play the Fallout series. |

This isn't a thread about games you feel others need to play, or upcoming games you're looking forward to. But what are some older games you feel you need to hunt down and play to truly consider yourself a gamer?
Some of mine:
-Beyond Good and Evil: Everyone says it's awesome, and whenever there's a game that the few people who buys it loves it, they're usually right. Case in point: Psychonauts.
-Metal Gear Solid series: Such an iconic video game series, yet I've never played a single title, and now with the compilation at $30, there's no excuse for me to not pick it up and give it a try.
-Silent Hill 1 & 2: Same reason as above, minus the compilation thing, those I have a feeling will take some hunting down.
- Half-Life 2: I played the first one up until this elevator shaft rubble-jumping thing that I could never get past, and gave up. So having never finished the first game, I felt I'd be missing parts of the plot. I lost my copy of Half-Life and eventually became disinterested in the series until recently.
Can't think of any others right now.
