BoB's Top 100 Games

I can't recall but he did FRAPS the whole thing and put it on YouTube (in multiple parts of course)

I really need to play this game one day considering I've owned it for a little while now.

[Loony BoB]

It's free if you have PlayStation Plus as I just found out! But I think you're better off getting it for PC.

I'm intrigued by XCOM and want to try it at some point. It seems like a very challenging game and I'm into that.

[Skyblade]

Have you tried Enemy Within yet?

Just saw the previous page. People actually found Resident Evil games scary? Maybe I was just a tougher kid than I realised but I never really got on the edge of my seat or felt truly terrified at any point in those games. You had a gun, and stairs and doors stumped most of the walking biohazards. Apart from that Tyrant in the second playthrough of RE2 that would smash through the walls at set intervals. He was cool.

Play Nemesis.

Just throwing this out there BoB, your list is going WAY slower then mine.

[Psychotic]

I still want to do an EoFF LP of the original.

Nemesis wasn't scary either. I've truthfully never found any RE game to be particularly scary. They're too B-Movie in scare tactics, which was their charm of course, but they were never really scary. I found walking around an abandon elementary school with the static on the radio in Silent Hill to be more tension building and scary than any RE really.

Don't get me wrong I love the RE games (well apart from 6, and to a lesser extent, 5), but I always found them a bit lax on the horror parts.

[Shauna]

Yeah, the RE games are far too campy to be truly scary. The only bit that I have ever considered to be 2spooky is that bit in the first, when you first encounter a zombie and it turns its head. Ugh, that was one ugly and creepy thing.

[Kalevala]

I have, horror of all horrors, not played XCOM yet. It's something I've been meaning to get around to.

Please do it.

Resident Evils are more scary in terms of survival than horror; the horror is a beautiful theme into which the survival bit is worked. When you are low in ammo in a monster-heavy area, that is when anxiety appears.

I loved this generation's iteration of X-COM despite it being a very different game from the original. However, it retains that lovely feature of losing your much-adored team. Instead of being one-shot from the dark when leaving the Skyranger, you now unfortunately run into Mutons in a sprint action, and their response move is to basically surround you.

We're in the process of replacing something like 4,000 PCs at work and I'm a central figure in the project, so I've had pretty much no time to spare lately (most of my EoFF browsing is done at work). I'll try to get another up during the coming evenings or something, though.

PC, 2003

"Need a medic! Need a medic! Need a me-- danke!" Oh, the words still echo in my ears. This was, for me, the best "versus" FPS game I have ever played. It was well balanced, anyone could get the hang of it eventually, it's all kinds of hilarious fun, it has multiple (well balanced) classes which you can, through death, switch between on the fly should you ever wish to. It's free, it's moddable (and the mods tend to be good'uns) and the people I played with - a mixture of EoFFers and a group of Dads and their kids from Manchester known as ...ah, crap, I forgot! Hopefully one of the EoFFers out there can help me remember them through screenshots or something.

Either way, this game was just loads of fun for all involved and the only downside is that it turned Danielle from a friendly, loving person into an foul mouthed, hardcore woman of great vengeance.

PS. Engineers were best.
