Over the years, technology has lent a status to video games that it now goes beyond being a playful activity for kids.
It’s not a rare sight seeing 30-year-olds, dancing the necks and arms in front of their playstations just to beat their virtual opponent. The introduction of 3D technology is another shot in the arm for video games. So we compile a list of 10 video games that are a must for any person with a passion for joysticks, wireless controllers, Xboxes and various other things that come as a package with video games:
1. Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
This happens to be one of the most underrated video games. However, regardless of its number of buyers, it offers brawling at its best. All that matters in the end is how good you are at smashing!
2. Silent Hill 2
This one is for the video game freaks who love to be freaked out by horror. There are loads of disturbing, depressing visuals that will keep you on the edge of your seat and some ‘oh, this scared the shit of me’ moments that make you fall off the edge.
3. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
This one puts you right in centre of a great story and some awesome action. The battle of Guybrush Threepwood and the non-destructible LeChuck is accompanied by numerous puzzles for you to be solved.
4. Final Fantasy VI
This is one game that always bewilders its users when asked about which their favourite version of the game has been. There are some fabulous characters that over a period of time, you get attached to.
5. Mario 64
The 3D version of the game will leave you breathless, literally. The three dimensions bring the whole game alive and this game has set a benchmark for other game makers looking to plunge in 3d.
6. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Easily the best star war game hands down. This is a game that will turn even the biggest star war haters to star war addicts. The climax of the game is surely going to blow your mind.
7. Quake 3
Another action-packed game with lots and lots of carnage. It is a multi-player game that was well ahead of its contemporaries. So go-ahead and blow your nemesis with a rocket launcher.
8. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
This is a game that underscores the fact that video games don’t have to be all about tankers, guns, fights, treasures and stuff. Sans all this, there is still an abundant dosage of action and adventure.
9. Deus Ex
This one is for all ages. This game is all about making choices, neither of which could be right. While playing it, don’t be surprised if you are completely absorbed in the story.
10. Ico
This game is not all about adrenaline. One of the few games that showcase friendship and love in the most poignant way, Ico is the best thing to have come out in ages.
If you like to call yourself a video game freak, you dare not miss the ones listed. Gear up and go play.
