Mw2, Played that for 1200 hours and was one of my favorite games of all time

Smash Bros franchise, even to this day, I bring out Smash Bros anytime friends come over and play for hours

FF9 and below, majority of them were just soo good

Zelda franchise, always amazes me how much I want to finish every single new iteration (mostly on the consoles)

I agree with 100% with Final Fantasy IX. Such a great and charming game! ＾ｖ＾

As for Civ 5. Hmmm... I had a major issue with it. It just felt like too many steps backwards, especially with the way the government system worked. Sure combat is improved but when your government is basically a World Of Warcraft style talent tree rather than an actual government simulation with statistical changed and options, it just loses something for me. Personally I think Civilization 4: Beyond The Sword, with the community mod Rise Of Mankind is the purest and best Civ experience you can have and it just blows Civ 5 out of the water for depth and complexity. I highly recommend it if you've not tried it.

Does that mod take away the stacking units? Because that's the main reason why I consider Civ 5 to be superior to Civ 4

It's an option you can toggle on or off in the mod yes. It's call the '1 Unit Per Tile' option, the mod also causes cities to automatically create soldiers when attacked if they're left undefended however they will be the lowest tech soldier avaliable at your current tech level, and it'll cost you population in that city until the city reaches a low population (4 or less) then they surrender. It's a percentage chance so some cities will keep defending till they're size 2, others will give up as soon as they hit size 4, (maybe higher).

I will warn you though, the games not designed to run 1UPT and some upgrades like the medic upgrades become less useful as you can't heal units in the same tile any more. It also doesn't distinguish between military and non-military, and I've no idea if it will bugger up spies completely or not. Also, cities will have higher unhappiness because a garrison of 1 unit is considered a poor garrison and I've no idea if they've changed that in the mod.

Final Fantasy IX - The world and characters are just amazing

Star Ocean: The Second Story - Spent countless hours between two play-throughs just exploring and looking for new scenarios.

Shadow of the Colossus - Just riding your horse around the hauntingly beautiful world is why this game is legendary.

Flower - Because Flower.

Spider-Man 2 - Still one of the most fun games I've ever played. I would swing around town doing nothing in particular for hours upon hours.

GTA: San Andreas - I would actually go on road trips in this game thuggin around all of San Andreas. It's still the biggest and best GTA game in my opinion.

Really, Modern Warfare 2 and Smash Bros?!

I'm not saying they're bad games. Not in the slightest. I'm just wondering, how do you get lost in a game with effectively no story. These games are basically competitive multiplayer games, (I know they have campaigns but no-one cares really do they?), I honestly can't imagine how you can get lost in them, consumed by them because there's no characters, world, atmosphere, or storyline to draw you in. I can see you getting excited by them, even getting obsessive if they're really fun and stuff... but I'd say that's a very different reason for gaming than the feeling you get when a good RPG draws you in and you feel like you could walk around in that world, as though you could touch it or taste it, or an action/sandbox game that mirrors society such that you can see it's perspective in the world around you. That's more what I'm thinking about.

On another point, good to see more Final Fantasy love. Oh yeah.

Well, to be fair, Brawl did have the Subspace Emissary which took forever and I basically played it till I was finished. The music was awesome cause it had over 200 tracks from past Nintendo games and yea, the words were reptitive but there were awesome boss fights (if a little easy) and cutscenes which was a first for Smash Bros and I really wanted to see where the story would go to next. So technically, the whole "characters, world, atmosphere, or storyline" is pretty much there, not zomfg calibur but its there and its just the idea of all these different worlds (zelda world, donkey kong world, fire emblem world and etc) being in danger and what not that makes the game really intriguing and the cutscenes did not dissappoint. The other ones also had advanture mode and what not which was pretty cool as well

As for mw2, Online is addicting and Single player is pretty fun
