Your top 5 videogames

I am going to start playing the revamped version of XCOM. Pretty excited tbh.

I have my criticisms but it's a pretty good game.

Sad that, imho, the old game is far more sophisticated in pretty much every way other than graphics quality.

This exactly.

It's not as good as the original. Or Valkyria Chronicles.

Though note that both of those are top 5 all-time for me, so saying it doesn't live up to those two is far away from saying it sucks. It's very good, in fact. Just hard to improve upon perfection.

Never played the original. You were the one who recommended I play XCOM btw. It was very well received. I'm surprised the original is even better.
 
Speaking of X-COM, I'll be getting Xenonauts as soon as there's a Steam sale on it:

It's basically a remake of X-COM that sticks much closer to the original. I'm looking forward to checking it out.

And although I haven't played the remake, count me as a third person who says the original is friggin' amazing. It's 20 years old, but doesn't show its age in any way except graphics-wise. It's still the best at what it does.

Anyone who has even a vague interest in strategy games and hasn't played X-COM, go on Steam and spend $5:

Guaranteed that you'll be astounded how advanced it is for a 20-year-old game.
 
I don't remember seeing anyone mention The Last Of Us..... kinda strange considering it was unanimous game of the year winner
 
I used to love the NBA Live Series, my first ever video game for the PS2 was NBA Live 2003.

I also used to play Frogger a lot on the PS1 before I got my PS2.

Playing Sega on my Sega Genesis was awesome as well. Got to love old games.
