Legit though. There was a Frogger game on the ps1 that I loved.

So many to name ...I mean, seriously. So many games to name..
Has anyone mentioned Heroes of Might and Magic 3 ? or Master of Orion 2 ?

Tokyo Xtreme Racer for Dreamcast

And Elite, of course.

I suck at that game, but it's cool.

I did play the third game in the series, First Encounters, a heck of a lot in the 90's.

Knights of the Old Republic
Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Tetris
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy 12 (totally underrated game)
Civilization 4
Rome: Total War
StarCraft
Red Alert 2
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
Suikoden 5
Goldeneye
Call of Duty 2 (**** you, shooting Nazis is great and the series hadn't yet become lame)
Blitzkrieg
Company of Heroes
Alien: Isolation
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Saints Row 2, 3, and 4
Super Mario World

CoD sucked until 3 and then got moderately better until Black Ops before totally rock bottoming

Alien Isolation and GTA Vice City are musts though

oh and FF 6 too

Never played Black Ops but I'm willing to give it a shot after seeing enough good press about it, and I have good memories of 3 but I was young enough to not notice the reportedly terrible AI so I'll hold back on a rec since I haven't played it in about a decade. 2 is pretty great though and along with Halo 1 just about the only modern FPS I need in my life.

i see multiplayer (and zombies w/ black ops) as being the selling point of any cod game. but if you’re looking for campaign i can’t recommend CoD 4, MW2, or Black Ops enough. i mean, they’re CoD campaigns so obviously it’s totally run and gun. but the storylines are actually pretty entertaining and there are some bonkers missions. the most distinctively memorable one includes being a russian gunman shooting up hostages in an airport on MW2

I have nostalgia for Modern Warfare 1 but tried playing it again a little while back and got bored fairly quickly. I'm not sure why when the mechanics are the same damn thing as 2, and even the presence of Nazis shouldn't make that big a difference. Same thing with Halo 3 tbh. I could play Halo 1 all day long but after about 20 minutes of 3 and maybe an hour of CoD 4 the twin options of "shoot" and "throw a grenade" start making me go to sleep.
