The "Collection"; An Incomplete Selection of My Games

I own a lot of games. Some were bought, others were gifted to me, but in one way or another I have each of these sitting around somewhere.

List items

1. StarCraft

I love StarCraft. I still play this regularly, though I'm practically the definition of a turtle and would get utterly destroyed if I went online.
2. StarCraft: Brood War

Ditto here.
3. Command & Conquer: Red Alert

Awesome game, I remember somehow getting this to work with my brother's PC years ago. Unit hordes were always the order of the day - was there even a population cap?
4. Guild Wars

Man, I loved me some GW. My first character was a Mesmer (illusion mage class) because I liked the masks they wore; little did I know then that if you didn't play the class with a particularly devastating build, you were just dead weight. It made the game so much harder, but I wasn't gonna give up on that char after 20 levels of sheer horror!
5. Guild Wars: Factions

I pre-ordered this the day I caught wind of it. Amazon shipped some bonus discs for doing that, but it took too long and I canceled the order. The discs arrived anyway, free of charge; I'm still curious as to why that happened.
6. Guild Wars: Nightfall

And my last sojourn into GW, Nightfall. The art had improved drastically since the first game; I loved the design of the Africa-like environments. Never finished it, though, so I didn't bother picking up the last expansion.
7. Zeus: Master of Olympus

This game was the shit. Caesar III with elements of Greek mythology? Yes please!
Also, the GB page is only a blurb, a paragraph, and a few images, but I'm strangely proud that I'm the current top editor.
8. Unreal Tournament 2004

Still the best Unreal Tournament game ever, by far.
9. Unreal Tournament 3

Compared to 2004, this game is shit. Sure, it has better graphics, a story, blah, blah, blah - 2004 has Assault, and a definite lack of hoverboards.
10. World in Conflict

I thought this was great until I figured out that it came with SecuRom bundled in. Now it sits on my shelf, discarded and lonely.
11. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl

What is it about buggy Russian games that are so endearing? I picked this up last year for a song, and it's pretty good. Those stupid ghosts, though...
12. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War

Got the Platinum Edition, which came with two expansions. I really like 40K, so this was a great experience. "Squad Broken!" still sucks, however.
13. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II

This is...less great. I'm a turtle in pretty much every RTS game I've ever played, so being unable to do that here just doesn't sit right with me. I really liked the first Dawn of War, so I want to like this one, too, but it's hard to love.
14. Half-Life 2

Awesome. Spectacular. Epic. I love the Half-Life series with a passion, and this iteration is one of the best, even more than five years on.
15. Half-Life 2: Episode One

A little worse than Half-Life 2, but a necessary step towards the best game (so far) in the series.
16. Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Mind-blowing. If HL2 was a delicious slice of pizza, this is the whole goddamn pie. Now if only Valve would get around to making Episode 3...
17. Counter-Strike: Source

I play this with bots. *shrug*
18. New Super Mario Bros.

The very first game I got with my DS Lite, years ago. It's a good Mario game, but the best in the series is still Super Mario World.
19. Chrono Trigger

Also for the DS. It's a great game, but it falls prey to the FF-like approach of "You can't beat this boss? Okay, go grind ten levels and then get back to me." Should really go back to it one of these days.
20. Space Invaders Extreme

For the DS. Great in small bursts or for a little late-night gaming.
21. Scribblenauts

Yeah...everything the reviews have said about Scribblenauts is correct. I want to love it, but the execution falls short of the initial premise.
22. Final Fantasy III

The DS release. It's a FF game. Yep.
23. Mario Kart DS

Pretty good, but the real fun comes in with friends.
24. Elite Beat Agents

A blast right up until the last half of the final boss. I defeated the aliens! Do I really have to celebrate by dancing to the Rolling Stones, tapping and dragging in a ridiculously-hard fashion until my hand won't move?!
25. Halo: Combat Evolved

I remember when you /couldn't/ destroy the Warthogs.
26. Halo 2

This is around the point where I started getting really good at Xbox shooters. My skills have since declined, for I no longer have 6 hours a day to spend with Halo, but this one will always have a place in my heart. RIP, XBL 1.0.
28. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4

Tony can totally spine transfer now! Awesome!
29. Soulcalibur II

Ah, yes...the best in the series, IMO. Many of my nights were spent around the Xbox with friends, owning them with a so-called "cheap" repetition of Kilik's Rushing Waterfall. Then Talim was discovered by said friends, and Kilik was no longer sufficient for maximum ownage. This sparked the Arms Race of '03.
30. Rogue Trooper

Haters gonna hate, but Rogue Trooper was good. Flawed, but good. It also might help that I like 2000AD, the British monthly sci-fi comic compilation that this game is based off of. Now we just need one based on the ABC Warriors, and a good Judge Dredd game.
31. Max Payne

The opening sequence put me off of this one for a good long while, but I came back to it recently and played it to the end. Bullet time!
32. Syberia

From back when I though adventure games were cool. This one proved me wrong.
33. Destroy All Humans!

Come on, you had a flying saucer!
34. Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee

For some reason, I liked this game. I felt that it wasn't very good, but something about it just kinda clicked.
35. Doom 3

*cue evil cackling, demonic hissing, and 4 fireballs to the back of the head*
36. Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil

*cue evil cackling, demonic hissing, 4 fireballs to the back of the head, and a pulsating heart THAT TOTALLY ISN'T THE SOUL CUBE YOU GUYS*
37. Phantom Dust

Levitate, Psycho Sniper, Surprise Attack, Flame Sword, run like hell, laugh at opponent, repeat.
38. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Bob the Nord met countless ends, all very tragic. Usually at the hand of some overzealous city guardsman, but sometimes by a very long fall or something twenty times his level.
Great game, loved the feel of it. "Why walk, when you can ride?"
