Classic Games Thread

[dnbman]

I want to know which video games you think are classic, defined as games that are must-plays.

This is more for me to find out about which games I should play than to spend a lot of time arguing over what is and is not classic.

I'll throw a few out there:

Zelda: Adventures of Link
Metroid
Super Mario Cart
Fallout 1 and 3
Skyrim
Tetris
Portal
Street Fighter*
Mortal Combat*
Bionic Commando
Civilization 4
NBA 2K
NHL 93


* I don't really like these games all that much anymore, but played them tons back in the day.

Mass Effect 2 is a MUST play
Red Dead Redemption is also a MUST play

I never thought red dead was that good, tbh after the story mode finished I thought it was pretty boring, especially online

I only played the story mode, but that story was very good ( even though I'm not a big fan of westerns )

Another game that I just thought about was one that I loved, but just about everyone else seemed luke warm on was Borderlands.

A few different people have mentioned Borderlands recently. I'll add that to my list to play also.

The Getaway

Probably one of the most underrated game on PS 2. It had a actual down to detail map of London, great car chases, crazy missions, awesome storyline, terrific voice acting. I spent many a hour playing this game to bad the series was ruined when the second Getaway game came out.

Dante's Inferno

Hmmm... I've been pretty intrigued by that game. I love the poem, and I know that the game takes great liberties with it. I might have to pick that up at some point.
