Post by: MysterD on Sunday, February 04, 2007, 07:11:47 AM
Here is Voodoo Extreme's Top 20 Games for Windows XP, since the XP era began on Oct 25th, 2001 (in which that date was my 21st birthday!) (http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/760/760755p1.html)

Voodoo Extreme's Top 20 Generation XP Games
1.  World of Warcraft
2.  Half-Life 2
3.  The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
4.  Call of Duty
5.  SW: KOTOR
6.  BF 1942
7.  Company of Heroes
8.  F.E.A.R.
9.  Doom 3
10. WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos

17. UT 2004
18. Rome: Total War
19. Halo: Combat Evolved
20. Rise Of Nations

So, what do you think of the list?

What games you feel should be higher? Lower? Games that not even belong on the list at all???

What games are missing that you would have on the list????


Me, I can't see Halo on this list --- period.
Oh, and BF 1942, as well.

My question -- where's my Vampire: Bloodlines? :P Should be on there, somewhere....God, I love that game; the RPG/Action game that Deus Ex 2 SHOULD'VE BEEN, basically.

F.E.A.R. should've been higher than HL2, if you ask me -- as great as HL2 was, F.E.A.R.'s just a better game and a much better story.

Halo shouldnt be there at all. BF1942 I can see, though. I'd drop Tribes 2 on there somewhere.

Though the whole thing is kinda funny...top 20 games of the last 6 years? Thats tough. The list also is mostly games made in the last 2 years or so.

Yeah, no Halo.  But I agree with idol.  Plus I think lists are kinda' stupid.

I definitely agree w/ Max Payne 2 being on that list.
That was a freakin' sweet third person shooter, to say the very least.

I agree with the choice of the list, but I agree that it is a bit dumb in the sense that there isn't much skill involved in compiling such a list. Sure you can argue about the order all day, but it isn't like there were more than 20 or so top class games on XP anyway.

I'm so-so on the lists idea, sometimes they can be unfair.. Either way I'm reinstalling Max Payne 2! That game was awesome, and to this day has the best implementation of Havok physics! Well atleast the most enjoyable to watch :P

I liked the new one-step-ahead BulletTime, once you get that meter yellow.

Oh yeah -- Max 2 rules!
