5. More about Obsidian

I'll just find a review I agree with (I'm lazy!) :-)

Obsidian is one of the all-time great adventure games, a geekier, more machine-like version of Riven: The Sequel to Myst. Here you are entering a nano-robot creation and solve cool, hard-core puzzles. The environment is harsh and beautiful: bureaucratic mazes, spider-like machines, churches of logic. In a way, this seems like the ultimate hard-core gamer adventure game. Puzzles are logical, but sometimes the deductions are way beyond me (the game comes with a cheat book, which I used a good deal, although my puzzle-writing friend solved the whole thing on his own). This game has a sci-fi-geek-genius feeling to it, with a surreal sense of humor. Probably the most imaginative and original game I've seen.

The puzzles are great because the logic used was always "twisted". I miss that game. Wish they'd do an sequel...

Nightweed's Hurricane Katrina Aid Organizations

8. No Civilization?

And, BTW, the list is for the past 10 years, not of all time ... thus a lot of other missing games. :)

10. very perceptive grasshopper

so would alien invasion...doom...duke nukem...or descent...beat out any of these others listed...

[gulfcoastliberal]

9. No Kings Quest games?

or Defender of the Crown? Geez. It seems more like games within the last 10 years rather than of all time. What about the OG Legend of Zelda? Super Mario? This list was written by a 17 year old.

11. The last 10 years is exactly what it is

The article says so. This thread just happens to be mistitled.

[cleofus1]

12. my bad...

but the upside is you can list what you think is the best...i do still miss the excitement i experienced when i first played descent...or the humor of duke nukem...or the addiction o doom....

[RoyGBiv]

13. Bah!

I love how "of all time" goes back to 1996.

Many of those games are just knock-offs of games that came earlier -- and are still played by those who know of them -- only with better graphics ... or sometimes not.

Halo in particular is nothing but Quake/Doom in a different wrapper.

[cleofus1]

14. i guess i need to apologize

i did make a pretty big mistake in titling this thread...these are not the best games of all time but the best of the last few years...having said that...i must agree that they for the most part are just later versions of earlier games...

say does anyone but me remember "alien invasion"? boy i really loved that game....

[cleofus1]

15. remember this?

[cleofus1]

16. how about the duke?

[cleofus1]

17. did all the games kinda look alike?

[bvar22]

18. Oh, Man....

That screenshot makes me want to load up my old copy of the "DUKE"!
