[Neil]

Games that had the biggest effect on me... Over the years...

Elite
Ultima III: Exodus
Wing Commander
Doom
Half Life


EDIT: Oooops! Mis-read the post, sorry! Thought we were just talking about the games! Not the locations!!

[MinionZombie]

You said five originally, so crew your ten! :D

In in particular order:

* Doom3 - scared the bejebus out of me, scariest corridors ever.
* Half-Life 2 - superbly realised, post-invasion, devestated, European cityscape
* Vice City - it's GTA, it's free-roam, it's the 80's, it's Tommy Vercetti, it's Flock of Seagulls, it's super-fun-time!
* Rapture - art deco undersea terror!
* SWAT4 - either the serial killer's house, or the cult's tenement. Bust the doors open with charges, barge in, take names.

I could probably think of more ... perhaps I'll do that later.

Jesus, how could I forget?!

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl - best in-game world ever.

Also:

* Dead Rising - a mall full of zombies!
* Grim Fandango - the entire 4 in-game years (especially the offices and his Casablanca-riffing club).
* Hitman: Contracts - the hotel level, in which I've spent much time stalking from one room to another with the 12-guage blasting fleeing patrons. :elol:
* GTA IV - nuff said really, we all know why.

Actually there might be more, and evidently I did get to 10 quite easily ... shut up ... just enjoy my awesome list!

[Danny]

see?, not so easy to have just 5 huh?.

[Neil]

HL2, the prison level with the sentry guns... I played that over and over and over...

[Danny]

really?, not ravenholm?

[Neil]

really?, not ravenholm?

Yeh, that was good too :) But the prison, I just played over and over :)

[capncnut]

The prison had an awesome level design and some real cinematic surprises. When the enemies (forgot their names) start smashing through the skylights, I was in awe of that and the music, wow. Ravenholm was good too but I agree that the prison level was much better.

[MinionZombie]

Yes, the prison level was better than Ravenholm, even though that was good.

City 17 rocked too.

But there was just something ... I duno, dark and sinister and oppressive and desolate about the prison level.

It was the build up till the troops turned up, and placing the 3-4 sentry guns to help you. You could even put boxes in the way to help protect the sgs... Just great fun for some reason!

[Danny]

man i hated that turret standoff myself, though on the half life 2 topic the highway level was great, but one of my favorite half life locations has got to be the white forest inn and the surrounding countryside, now THAT was a good soldier battle
