*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*. You never quite get that tense feeling when you had to hack into a remote server with the "good" guys getting ever closer to tracking you. The originality and intensity of the game puts many to shame, even today, so many years later. Go Introversion!!
No. 49 - Broken Sword : The Angel of Death / (Secrets of The Ark in North America)
Underrated by many, this is one game that stood out in my mind for no particular reason. Fun, a little clunky,ridiculous story. All standard fare for an adventure game, yet somehow good in a way... Charles Cecil, come on!
No. 48 - Call of Duty 2
Immensely noisy, Activision and Infinity Ward have done it again with this masterpiece of WWII gaming, precise catastrophic set-pieces set the tone for future shooters, lodging itself into your cranium long after the mayhem is over.
No. 47 - Homeworld 2
The Pride of Hiigara. The mother of all ships. Shaped like an elongated flat oval thing, complete with hyper-thrusters and galaxy-spanning teleporter thingi. And the hectic battles fought over stars. And the ion cannons, oh the ion cannons. And the manatee's. And the lasers.
No. 46 - The Movies
Want to be the next Spielberg? Yes? No? Well, this game doesn't make you anything like him. What it does do is give you a simplified idea of running a movie studio, with you being the director of a movie, and also the HR manager of the studio. You hire, you fire, you weep, you laugh. Make your own movies, and dub them and give it subtitles if you will. Just do whatever.
