What kind of Games enthusiast am I? By what measure can you, dear reader, judge my taste?
Well here is my current top 10 list of game campaigns:
10.Rez
9.Zelda:Ocarina of Time
8.The Curse of Monkey Island
7.Okami
6.Baldur's Gate 2
5.The Witcher 3
4.Metal Gear Solid
3.System Shock 2
2.Demon's Souls
1.Half Life
and Multiplayer games:
10. Halo 3

8.Call of Duty Zombies
7.Defcon
6.No More Room in Hell
5.Natural Selection 2
4.Age of Empires 2

Each of these games holds a special place in my heart. Each are winners, and deserving of obsessive play sessions.
Remember the days where you actually wanted to play games with your friends to their face?
It’s a subtle experience that is dying out in favour of online gaming
and voice chat displacing lazy friends away from one another.
Gaming over local area network, that is to say … not over the
Internet, is rare these days. Most games that support the feature are
ancient, or created by the rare PC friendly developers that see it’s
value.
That said, the LAN party of 2015 doesn’t have to be stuck in the
past. There are games both new and old that form a great experience for a
party.
It is also often surprising how little has actually changed in
multiplayer games over the past 15 years. The core experiences haven’t
changed much, and in some instances you will find experiences that have
not been explored as In depth in the modern era.
