Thought I'd make a thread for you to post your top 5, 10, or whatever games, whether in order or no particular order.
I'm letting my brain do automatic ordering by whichever ones I think of first.
Mirror's Edge
Amazing. The feel of flow and speed is so damn good, leaping through the city, whether doing it how the game was meant to be played or using speedrunning techniques.
It is true that the combat, although looks cool breaks the flow and is absolute arse, it's made up for by the spectacular parkour aspect.
Battlefield 2: Project Reality Mod
I never thought I'd like a "realistic" mod. It makes the ballistic physics far more realistic, adds more maps and factions, more guns, makes the sound effects less like a kids toy, enemies actually react when they get hit, and you can't jump from 10 feet with an assault rifle, pistol, battle armour, and 2 - 4 grenades and just keep on strolling.
But god dammit it is so fun. It feels satisfying when you get a kill, whether you sneak up behind and stab your enemy in the back of the head, or throwing a smoke grenade then running in for the kill.
The game can be a bitch when it decides the AI are going to stand in the middle of the road and point their gun at the ground, utterly oblivious to the action around them, you can forgive it with the awesome gameplay and the fact that's it's made by a fairly small modding team.
Burnout Paradise
OH GOD THE SPEED. OH GOD THE CRASHES.
SO portugaling AWESOME.
