SFX top 20 sci-fi games
This blog is about the top 20 best sci-fi, fantasy and horror games as listed by a British magazine I get called SFX, this list was produced in the May 2009 Edition.
There are some classics here, how many did you ever play. Lets see how I did
01. Deus Ex
played this on my brothers old PC
02. Half Life
reason why I upgraded my 1st PC was to play this
03. Mercenary
played this to death, even submitted a complete guide to one of the C64 magazines..
04. Zelda : Ocarina of Time
I had a great deal of fun playing this on the old n64 in between games of starfox.
05. Syndicate
another great game I spend way too much time on
06. The Secret of Monkey Island
never did manage to solve this one.
07. Dragon's Lair
played this to death in the arcades, my friend has the original laserdisc, only ever finished it once, the PC version never
did it for me. I play it occassionaly on my DVD player..
08. Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy
another time waster, what ever happend to my copy of this?? maybe I burnt out the disc... a great text adventure... dont make em like these any more.
09. Halo : Combat Evolved
never played this
10. Final Fantasy VII
never played this
11. Prince of Persia : Sands of time
the original PC game was a ripper, dont know about this one
12. Lords of Midnight

13. Elite

A very sad story. please read for your own health.
Hello all my gamespot friends.
This blog is a dedication to my best mate's wife who's receiving treatment for terminal cancer of the liver. It has all come about from a tiny melanoma on the back of her heel left unchecked. It spread thru her blood system invading the liver. It was only diagnosed in January and she has not got much time left. Please for all your sakes, your family and friends, whether your young, old like me, female or male, examine yourself regularly and get the smallest dark spot checked by a doctor. Please I dont what to lose any more friends to the worst way to lose your life. I need your support in saying a prayer for her and her family of 3 children who will sadly miss her.
In a time of need.

Time to play some games!!!
Well the hard study is finished. the exams are over. the waiting for the results is now at hand...
so whilst we await our future... we can get into some hardcore gaming.. break out Duke Nukem 3D!!!
Hope everyone's exams are going well and hope you pass with ease....
"Off to the playing fields now"! (what movie is that from?) piece of cake for the right guess. I/ll have to squash it down. It may get quarantined at the airport .

E3 09 The Blurbs
Well this events seems have been quite a mixed bag. Its probably because they've been on at 12am, 2am in the morning and I can hardly keep awake at the best of times. Been some good titles to look forward to but I think there's only a couple that'll make it into the Xmas list for 09. Hope everyone else is enjoying the streams, bit unfortunate about the Beatles opening but oh well.. Got a nice new shiny emblem for my viewing pleasure.
Did you get yours?

cool got another one

excellent, I got the other two press conference emblems

Does anyone go to game arcades???
Back in the 80s it was cool to go and hang out at the local games arcade, (here in Perth, mostly called 'Timezone'). You would change a fiver and it would last you all day. A couple of games of sidearms, a game of blaster, followed by a game of scramble, couple of games of Adams Family pinny... These days we dont even leave the house... What happened??? Did the console wars have a unwelcome side-affect?? Who's seen the sun lately??
Oh well maybe the answer is MAME, but still you need the original ROM sets to play them legally... We ARE living in a very different era to those years past...
ANyone else remember the good ole days?
