I just don’t seem to be able to immerse myself in these games anymore now i’ve been tainted with next-gen material that is not just prettier, but more responsive. Well, i suppose one thing not to like is that the 3D games of this generation really didn’t age well at all, so depending how much you cherish these childhood memories, it might be worth leaving them as golden memories. But Perfect Dark was all that and more, with more original weapons, a more original narrative that also sported a longer campaign (not to mention a cameo appearance of 007 content like the popular level “complex” and the golden gun). OK, so 007 GoldenEye is a given, it was a great game with perhaps some exaggerated hype for fandom’s sake. TFC kept me playing on the GLDSource engine religiously for nearly a decade and i couldn’t get enough of the CTF game mode until much of the TFC community moved to a later addition to the multiplayer roster, Day of Defeat where i joined my first clan and experienced competitive league gaming. Helped largely by its multiplayer aspects, the classic death match classic, but more notably its spiritual successor to Quake‘s capture the flag, Team Fortress (classic) and one of the most popular online games ever to hit the market, Counter Strike. Half-Life also had a strong online community presence that never even waned slightly between the years of its original release and its successor. The VOX system announcements, the clunk of the ladders as you climb them, the chink of the crowbar against solid geometry all threaten to teleport you back to the time when you first played the game. ![]() Each time you think you’re getting close to the end of the game, there’s another wonderfully fleshed out location to navigate and it never feels like a bore. Truly epic in scale with gorgeous, detailed level designs that never seem to end. Starting off as an experiment in “interactive story telling” by a couple designers this title went from group project to winning over 50 Game of The Year awards. The game is so fun i play it nearly once every year, despite being so long it takes a good month (free time allowing) to complete it normally (not speed-run). ![]() This game will have defined the childhood of many.
