Pay to play exactly the same old game yet again, now with better graphics and bigger boobs (both male and female, just look at that barbarian)!
How long many hours of game time are they claiming it will take to beat the game? You'll run through the game 3 times in 1/10th of the time and spend the remaining 9/10th's killing Bhaal for loot until you tire of the grind.
Not saying it'll be a bad game, just saying it most likely won't bring anything to the table that the first or second installments haven't already.

And how is this art?

^That's not entirely true, Kreegath. Hypnosis is a technique that helps to facilitate a change that is otherwise unnoticed or ignored. One can think of hypnosis as a sort of permission of sorts. Most people live in a trance all the time -- hypnosis is a way of breaking that trance and choosing another way of being. In the clip, this man is introduced to the fact that his old ways of being -- the old "games" as it were -- aren't working and are in fact upsetting the very people closest to him, namely, his family. It's good that he was willing to take the hypnotic suggestion. Many people need to be divorced, lose custody of their kids, etc., until they finally break the trance they're in.

(To be sure, this is clearly made for television and not entirely representative of how things might work in the real world. But it could!)

It's quite beautiful actually.

Couldn't disagree with this list more for several reasons.

For one, as described above, the top two games being consoles is a joke considering we're talking FPS here.

Halo... *sigh* I suppose it should be on the list, considering how absolutely huge it is. But that has nothing to do with it being a 'good' FPS. As a matter of fact, all three of them were incredibly mediocre. The ONLY reason the first one got as popular as it did was because the XBOX was marketed to the frat/casual player so much, that everyone who had no idea about video games HAD to have one. Then they all realized there weren't any games on the system. And that was right around the time Halo came out. With an unoriginal (PC players have been doing everything in Halo MP YEARS before the game released) but functional multiplayer (something the other XBOX titles lacked at the time), it got incredibly popular. This may seem over-simplified, but that's basically it. Worthy of #2? No way.

Doom 3 seems like the most controversial in the comments here and for good reason. Let's face it, whether you enjoyed Doom 3 or not, it was so over-shadowed by the Half-Life 2 hype, that people were ultimately unimpressed by the game. It was hilarious when they soon after released the expansion ripping off the gravity gun. But the fact is, the Doom franchise does belong on here though, just not 3.

Goldeneye was successful, yes. Fun when it came out? Yes. But #1 FPS EVER? Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not even sure it's worthy to be on this list, let alone BEST FPS EVER.

A lot of you are saying Deus Ex. Let me just say, I fucking LOVE Deus Ex. It was a blast, but let's face it- it's a cult classic. It definitely isn't something that's going to make a list such as this. Consolers haven't heard of it! And it's obvious this guy loves his consoles.

Oh, and where the hell is UT? You know, the game that pioneered (keep in mind I said pioneered, not created) the basic Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag style multiplayer?! Any PC FPS player old enough to remember the old games will have the fondest memories about the good old days playing the original UTs.

Out of all of the genres of video games, FPS are really the one that made the PC shine and stand out. To say the best FPS games weren't played with a keyboard and mouse is blasphemy.

Upvote for Final Fantasy classics, you just got to love the old games. Btw, my counter says that the vid is about 1 hour long, but havent seen it all the way through so dont know if its the 1 hour or all 5 hours.


When I first uploaded this video, I saw that as well... That was the reason why I watched the whole thing from the sift to be sure it works... turns out that it still plays it in whole, but you actually can't see the 4: part since the video screen isn't big enough to show it...


>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Mas, did you watch the whole thing?


Actually I did... I enjoyed Final Fantasy III when I was younger and thought about watching it again... During the time I was watching it, I remembered that Speed Demo archives actually had their own embed codes can can used used on web sites... at first I could do it, but then I found an alternate and got this video up...

Looks like Painkiller got added to the Steam featured game rotation, with a quote from Yahtzee. Moreover, it seems to have made the top sellers list pretty much as soon as the review hit... not bad for such an old game!

I tried to play it a few years aog. Old games are too clunky and slow for my multi-tabbed concentration span

I was just thinking about that after I watched the trailer. Now I just have to find the damn thing in my dusty piles of old games.

YES! Caught references to the Game & the old game show. Coolness.

I got a similar issue with a crazy-triangle screen while trying out Bioshock with my 8800GTS, but budzos is not automatically correct - it's a brand new card and after toggling one or two settings the problem didn't recur.

Or it could be something wonky in the hardware. Ah, the joys (and madness) of PC troubleshooting.

For some reason, Installshield (of all things!) went bork on me this summer. Something got corrupted and I couldn't install old games. Irritating as hell.

Oddly enough, I think it was the Bioshock installer which "fixed" Installshield for me. Good luck googling a solution like that for yourself.

It makes you kind of proud when you see an old game grow up and learn how to play by itself.

google Death Track 2000
great old game

lol I sometimes wonder on how it's strange that new kids play with the Wii and would probably don't even understand old games.

Man I loved that game. I tried to play it again recently but couldn't find my game disks. There is a pirated copy but it has a glitch that, for me at least, would not let me get onto the police boat at the end of the first section. Bummer. Also I'm finding more and more that old games are hard to play on a new computer, due to directX issues and obsolete 3D libraries and what not.

I'm going to check it out. I still think my old amstrad had the most interesting games I've ever played.

Hey, if you're into your 8-bit musical goodness be sure to have a listen to computeher (www.computeher.net). She makes all her music on old games consoles. best of all, her last album "Data Bass" comes wrapped inside a 5 1⁄4 inch floppy disk!
