His acceptance speech would be very boring.

I thought this was a interesting idea until I saw the strange & weird brackets...

Like...

 

Halo's Master Chief v Bubble Bobble's Bub & Bob (Halo lost!)

or

Crash Bandicoot v Snake (snake won)

or

Mario v Lara Croft (Mario won)

 

I was going to vote, but if they weren't going to match genre's it made no sense to me...

You know, I've never played any of the Half life games... Just never got around to it. :o I played a demo once though.

 

 

I don't know half of the people on that list, but I can think of a good dozen or so that should have been on that list too.

Gordan Freeman beat all the other heroes to death with his crowbar and then for fun went after a bunch of head humpers. xD

It's really a shame you haven't played at least the first Half-Life. Awesome universe.

Old school action vs puzzles vs mild horror. Definitely a "must play", and it's still fun compared to some of those crap games released nowadays.

It's a little too late to announce this, Sonic. I have seen the results last week and I was stunned. Gordon Freeman is better than Mario?? Mario should have been the all-time game hero, not Freeman!! When will the Valve character ever get a chance to talk, rather than saving people and meandering around the half-life world, looking for trouble and work?

Mario was great. Now he is just overly goofy and a sportsman. All his former greatness went down the drain with a piranha plant a few years ago.

Neither, but it sounds like a good idea.

I have never played Half-Life or Half-Life 2. :P

 

Both of you would have known at this point of time both Half-Life 1 and 2 are the best rated and best played PC games around. Time for you guys to catch up. :rolleyes:

Half-Life 1998

Half-Life 2 2004

 

So many years have past :eek:

 

Luk3us, how can you not have played these games? Do yourself a favour and buy the Orange Box immediately.

Too bad Orange Box doesn't include Half Life 1 as well. :(

(I have it and wish it did.)

I think the big problem is playing vintage games much later, you just don't/can't appreciate how good it was for the time.

Storytelling is one aspect, but engine and graphics do tend to affect the atmosphere....

meh, i'm not terribly bothered by graphics as long as it isn't hprrible and the story is well done.

One day steam was selling HL1 for .99 cents. That's when I snagged it. Played through it because I loved HL2 (and I normally don't like stories or long plotted FPSs) and I did not regret the buy :P

It's time for you to shut up. I really don't care.

You are entitled to your opinion, however, majority does not rule when it comes to personal preferences. I do not concern myself with reviews when I do not agree with them, for my mind and feelings are my own and cannot be decided by others.

I was using a longwinded version of "**** you."

Hmm, it still translates the same way...

But I don't think there's anything wrong with the DD Translator, how odd.

No, it's broken. I don't beat around the bush that much.

I'll have to test it then...

I'm going to keep claiming it's broken because I don't like my words being changed from how I like to deliver them. Aggressiveness keeps the noobs away.
