Top 50 Games - 45-41

No. 45 - FIFA 07

*GOAL* *FOUL* * PENALTY* and all that shouty stuff. The FIFA series have once again recaptured my love for football ever so perfectly that it's kinda impossible to believe they always get up-handed by the clearly less fun Pro Evolution series. With new tricks and a new engine, FIFA 07 is back stronger then ever.


No. 44 - Defcon : Everybody Dies

Ok, this game is a little weird. You kill lots and lots of civilians in a nuclear war thing. Don't get me wrong, civilian casualties are your ONE AND ONLY objective, and not a side effect of a nuclear holocaust. Brutal. Another great innovative game from the ever-green Introversion.



No. 43 - FIFA 98 : Road to The World Cup

Ok, so this game is another football game from EA, but like the title suggests, it's based on the 1998 World Cup, or rather the qualifying rounds of the tournament. This game had one of the best unlockables ever in a game where you play faithfully recreated great encounters in previous World Cup's, complete with sepia-tinted play and, really short pants on short stubby men.



No. 42 - Starcraft

Blizzard, Blizzard. Can you do no wrong? Starcraft, as many of you know (by you I mean Korea) is a RTS game by the masters of perfection and release-date delaying. It's so perfectly balanced that neither side has any actual advantage. Every unit is for one purpose, and one purpose only. Ever heard of the term Zerging? Well, this is where it came from.


No. 41 - Worms 2

My introduction of turn-based games was Worms 2. And my what an introduction. You basically play a bunch of worms trying to obliterate another bunch of worms. With rocket launchers. And Super Flying Sheep, and Dynamite Bananas, and Holy Hand Grenades, and Concrete Donkeys. The amount of originality in this game and the craziness of it all deserves a place in any gamers history.
