We’ve had sleepless nights over this one. We all love gaming, but we can never really pick one definitive game. After much toiling we’ve each come up with reasons for choosing our favorite games ever. You might be surprised to see that there isn’t one game older than 2003, despite the varied experiences we all have dating back to gaming’s earliest days. Enjoy the musings about our favorite games after the jump, and be sure to check back every day this week for the rest of the Addicted-Gamers Themed Week.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
Damn, I wouldn't have picked ANY of these.
My top five:
5- Final Fantasy VII
4- Skyrim
3- Breath Of Fire
2- Super Mario Bros 3
1- Ocarina Of Time
Keep in mind, this is not a list, this is each editors' one singular favorite game.
If I had to choose my top 10 favorite games of all time id be
