Year end thoughts and picks for gaming?

I did this on another forum and got some good responses so I figure why not give it a go here.  ;D

 

With 2006 over and done now I'm sure we'll start seeing "best/worst" threads and postings popping up.

 

Since these things are quite subjective I thought I'd try something slightly different this year.

 

Here goes:

 

Your favorite game of 2006?

 

Your least favorite game of 2006?

 

The most over-rated game of 2006?

 

The most Under-rated game of 2006?

 

The one thing in the gaming world that surprised you the most in 2006?

 

Which would you want to see under your tree? Xbox 360, Wii or the Ps3?

 

What games are you excited about for PC/Wii/360/PS3 in the upcoming year?

 

If anyone has any other categories to suggest then feel free to post them.

 

Now, let's start making picks and posts and have some fun.  :)[br]Posted on: January 01, 2007, 12:17:00 PM


I'll start off...

 

Your favorite game of 2006?

 

Normally this would be a tough one but this year it's a slam dunk for me.

 

Super Robot Wars Alpha 3

 

runner up - Warhammer 40,000- Dawn of War: Dark Crusade

 

Your least favorite game of 2006?

 

You know what, I didn't really play any games this year that I disliked unless you count the Madden football.

 

The most over-rated game of 2006?

 

There wasn't anything special about the most recent Madden football game despite what some of the gaming fanboys try to tell people.

 

The most Under-rated game of 2006?

 

Warhammer 40,000 - Dawn of War: Dark Crusade for the Pc seems to have slipped by many folks.

 

The one thing in the gaming world that surprised you the most in 2006?

 

It's really 2 but they're both related and that is the success of the Wii and the dislike my many of the PS3. I honestly felt it would be the opposite for the 2 new consoles.

 

Which would you want to see under your tree? Xbox 360, Wii or the Ps3?

 

Xbox 360 followed by the Wii. I want nothing to do with the money pit that is the Ps3.

 

What games are you excited about for PC/Wii/360/PS3 in the upcoming year?

 

I think I can safely say Halo3 for the 360 and the new Dawn of War game that's coming on the Pc.

Your favorite game of 2006?

 

Half Life 2 - Do I really need to explain that ??

OR/AND

ES IV Oblivion - Finally a "proper" RPG with wonderful artwork and totally free adventuring

 

Your least favorite game of 2006?

 

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - it's just another dull , repetitive RTS game that adds nothing to an already over done genre.

 

The most over-rated game of 2006?

(I literally fell asleep while watching my mate play the thing!)

 

The most Under-rated game of 2006?

 

I don't follow the gaming scene well enough to answer that.

 

The one thing in the gaming world that surprised you the most in 2006?

 

The Wii - I too was expecting it to fall under the looming shadow of the PS3.....wrong!

 

Which would you want to see under your tree? Xbox 360, Wii or the Ps3?

 

A new PC - no consoles for me thanks!

Your favorite game of 2006?

Half-Life 2 Episode 1, Dreamfall:The Longest Journey 2, Indigo Prophecy

 

Your least favourite game of 2006?

There wasnt any game i played that i feel was bad although i dont play too many games anyway.

 

The most over-rated game of 2006?

Oblivion (Its actually a great game, just not what i expected it to be. Its more like an improvement to Morrowind rather than what Bethesda hyped it up to be. And the game is not well optimized at all. The minimum requirements are a joke)

The most Under-rated game of 2006?

Dreamfall

The one thing in the gaming world that surprised you the most in 2006?

Sam & Max 2 beeing dropped

Which would you want to see under your tree? Xbox 360, Wii or the Ps3?

PS3 (I'd put a linux distro(probably Yellow Dog cause they are the most experienced distro where PPC is concerened. Besides E17 rocks) on it, add a USB tv card and a 320GB 3.5 inch Hard Drive and use it as a media center as well as console :D

What games are you excited about for PC/Wii/360/PS3 in the upcoming year?

Hλ2 Episode 2, UT2k7, Tabula Rasa, Conan, Assassin Creed, Beyond A Steel Sky 2(If its gonna happen after all)

Best game of 2006? Hmm... I'd say CounterStrike Source. Played it with friends and thought it was cool. I never played it on my computer though.

 

Worst game of 2006? I never tried it but I don't think Star Trek Legacy is winning any awards or popularity contests. It just looks so much like a Bridge Commander remake. If I'm wrong do say so because I am a Trek fan and would gladly try this one out.
