I'd like to hear more about the Resident Evil series. I played the original remake on Gamecube. I also played Zero and 4. Are there really any bad games in the series?

I'd also love to hear more about the new Hitman games. I played the shit out of Hitman 2: Silent Assassin on the old xbox.

Anyone want to take a stab at which Mario Kart is the best?

All of my fondest Mario Kart memories are Mario Kart 64. I'm sure every version after it is an improvement, but I think they got to be a little too gimmicky.

I'd say the newest iteration is the best. MK8 Ultimate or whatever

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
2. Mario Kart (Wii)
3. Half-Life 2 (PC)
4. Twisted Metal 2 (PS1)
5. NHL 95 (Sega Genesis)
6. The Oregon Trail (graphical version, 1985, Apple II)
7. Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
8. Missile Command (Arcade)
9. Rocket League (PS4)
10. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father (PC)

Yeah hard to diagree with this. It’s basically the same game over and over with improvements or relatively minor changes.

Like any sports game really. Is Madden 2007 really different from Madden 2008? Same game (probably, I don’t play Madden).

well when you talk about football games, they're not so great these days because of the monopoly EA has on the NFL license, and the fact that they sell a gazillion copies no matter the quality. But it'd be hard to argue this generation isn't the most impressive to a layman. It's just frustrating because you know they'd be way better games with a little competition.

I did not enjoy RE6. I'm sure RE1 via PS1 would be a tough play. I heard the RE2 remake was excellent (as was the original).

this is the correct answer. I also got a lot of enjoyment from Madden '92 on sega genesis.

God of War (PS4)

Crash Bandicoot Warped

Great topic. Also interested in thoughts on Hitman. Never been much into the series but the latest entry in the series reboot (Hitman III) is getting pretty solid reviews, it comes out tomorrow.

When speaking of best in series, first thoughts that come to are Metal Gear and GTA, in which case I'd have to go with Metal Gear 3 Snake Eater and GTA San Andreas. Also agree on God of War for PS4.

Uncharted 3
Mario Kart 8

Topic is interesting, but a lot of low hanging fruit being picked here. Hit me with something controversial.

Half-Life 1 or 2?
Bioshock 1 or Infinite?
Deus-Ex 1 or Human Revolution?
Dark Souls 1 or 3?
Gran Turismo 1, 2 or 4?
Tekken 3 or 5?
Fallout 2 or New Vegas?

Get out. Fall down the stairs. Fuck you.

Anyone go deep enough on Castlevania to rank them? I only did the first 3. The 3rd was my favorite.

I don’t know if this is controversial, but I like Odyssey more than any other 3D Mario games, and the music has a ton to do with that.

[Ello Sailor]

Didn't go deep, but Symphony of the Night is a masterpiece.
