What you got? Here are mine:

Max Payne - Self explanatory, although I never finished the second one because San Andreas distracted me

TOCA - Yeah they made Grid, but...it's not TOCA

Hitman - Came late to this party as I've only played the last one on ps2, but so good! Too bad they seem happy making that awful Kane and Lynch game instead

A SOCOM Which Doesn't Suck Balls - Haven't played the current ps3 one after the slating it got, but I LOVED all the others. Objectively, the Modern Warfare series has probably made any game like this look inferior now

Was there or was there not a Carmageddon 2?

I agree though, should be a new one. High def would make it sooo much more fun.


Also, V-rally. V-rally 4 was incredible and there hasnt been a good rally game for ages!

There should be a new Warcraft RTS...

Failing that there should be a new World of Warcraft, how old is that crap now? 2004 released?

A new Baldurs Gate would be nice too.

Timesplitters 2 - if they made a proper sequel to that, then my life would be all but over. That was an incredible game.

Agree with the above - a proper update to Deus Ex with a storyline that keeps you occupied for an entire month or more rather than the sequel which can be completed in about a day or so.

Cannon Fodder - brilliant game, although did anyone else ever try to get to the last level without losing any soldiers at any point? Thats really hard to do! Cannon Fodder 2 was fun as in that you went through time and had vehicles to play with too.

Syndicate and Syndicate Wars. Syndicate wars is fun except the manual doesn't tell you half of what you really need to know (ie that the guys in white robes can't be "persuaded" at first). Also there's a few too many bugs in it - like how come if I go around and accidentally persuade scientists, the number of scientists doing research into new weaponry for me decreases and can eventually get to zero at which point you really need to start over again. Having said that, lobbing nuclear grenades and destroying buildings in "wars" is great, so is flaming whole groups of people in the first one.

Tie Fighter - yes I've got X wing alliance which replaces it, but thats filled with bugs too. Like how come after dropping some marines off at a space station, I have to sit docked with the space station and detectable by the bad guys for a full 20 minutes before anything happens. At least tie fighter didn't have any pretense at a storyline and was just "here's your tie fighter, now go and blow up some x wings".

MechCommander - I've got Mechcommander 1, Gold (which is 1 with a few goodies added) and Mechcommander 2. They're all brilliant fun, you can save games at any point in the mission in 2, plus you get to blow st up.

Mechwarrior - see above but from a first person perspective. Last version of this is Mechwarrior Mercenaries which keeps me occupied for ages as it has a deathmatch arena as well as the usual missions.

Can't think of anything else for the moment.
