Hi all Smile

Just wondered what everyones best pc games are in certain genres?
I.e, best shooting game?, best role playing game etc Smile

For me, my best fps has to be tf2.
Best driving game was toca 3 but is now grid.
Best sport game was pes 06 but now look's as if fifa09 will be my next football game.
Best action game has to be from what I've played, devil may cry 4.
Best strategy has to be company of heroes opposing fronts, still a good 1 Smile
They'll be more but can't think of many more.

RPG - The Witcher, Elder Scrolls Oblivion/Daggerfall, or Gothic series.
Driving - Grid, no contest.
RTS - World in Conflict or Red Alert 2.
Sport - Ew.
Fighter - MUGEN.
Action - GTA:VC for now, but I know for a fact Mercs2 is going to steal that crown.
TPS - Max Payne 1 or Rogue Trooper
Survival Horror - Resident Evil 4
FPS/RPG - Deus Ex or System Shock 2, no contest!!
Simulation - The Sims 2 (sue me...)

Why do you argue against my opinion, when it's only that? Do you realize how stupid that is?

I prefer NFS3 over NFS4 because of the insane amounts of modding content it had at the time - which NFS4 did not.

Oh yeah, and a genre I forgot to add:

Adventure: Grim Fandango

This is probably going to be my favorite game, though I just ordered it and haven't actually played it yet.

It's some Japanese game with hot chicks and sex. I think it's called Hot Yaoi Fever or something. I don't get why most of the chicks have short hair though. I like them long but whatever. I love my animated boobs.
