"HOLY FUCK THERES ANOTHER HEAD-CRAB" or Playing Old Games Through Again
I Am Not Amused:
So, I just started playing Half-Life 1 again, having found the CD in some random box in my closet. And I just wanted to say that I really hate those little bastard Head-Crabs and how they leap out at YOUR FUCKING FACE all the time. Jesus. Play your horror genre games all you want, Half-Life is some of the scariest shit in a game ever. Those things that hang from the ceiling? The first time I ran into those bastards I swore out loud.
Also, I have a tendency to replay games over and over again, even those that have no real replay value (see: all Final Fantasy games). Do you have a similar tendency? Are there any games that you just love to keep replaying, regardless of whether or not they are any more fun the second time around?
Thats all I got.

I'm playing through NWNII ATM... Does that count?
Seriously, I'm still hooked on MechWarrior 4 Mercinaries. I can't stop replaying that game.
And FEAR is about the creepiest game our there. Quake4 is also kinda scary.
ackblom12:
DOOM, Fallout 1&2 (cause you can never get enough of planting armed time bombs on those little bastard children in the Den) Half-Life and shit loads of console games all share my time. This is just as much because I love those games as it is I can't afford new games particuarly often.
But still, time bombs + children = fun for the family.
Jackie Blue:
The single-player Starcraft and Warcraft 3 campaigns (and both expansions).
The stories are really well done and the gameplay is simple and elegant.

The only thing I think when playing old games again is "jesus, I was an idiot savant at NES games when I was a kid." I am fucking terrible at NES games nowadays.
Also, seconding the "Half-Life is one of the scariest games ever" comment in the first post. I remember being in a constant state of fear and anxiety playing that game. There are so many brilliant moments in it, from the first time you run into certain enemies to some of the 'feats' you're supposed to do. I remember some part where you have to jump on top of or into an elevator. Something like that. But it was tense and exciting to do.
I would say that Half-Life is probably my favorite PC FPS even though I only played it through once. It was a complete package in every way, a perfect mix of action, scariness, puzzles, and an intriguing plot. Watching the Man In Black periodically pop up was unnerving in the way that so many games try to be and fail.
