Top 10 Games

Project Gotham Racing 4

I give this the no 1 spot mainly because of the amount of time I spend playing it. The Graphics are great. The sound track is OK. Few songs I like to hear while racing –> Disturbed – Stricken and The Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive along with a song I generally like Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby.

Gears of War

The best graphics I’ve seen in a game. I can’t believe at the time of writing this I still haven’t gone out and got the sequel to this game. This game was mostly fun when playing with other both against other players and when collaborating with them in finishing the story. I’ve finished the game from beginning to end a few times on my own, with my girlfriend and with my brother. This game was most fun when me and my girlfriend played against my flatmate and his friend on a Xbox system link. This game has a good story line, almost as if its an interactive movie. I could easily watch someone else play the story mode. The characters’ behaviour and speech is very believable given the context of the game. Online game play on Xbox live gives this game the edge over Halo 3. Only thing it lacks is good accompanying soundtrack.

Halo 3

By far the best single player first person shooter ever made. (At least from what I’ve tried). While Gears of War is great when playing with people, Halo 3 is one of the best game to play alone. The story is beautiful, the music is absolutely fantastic making the Halo Experience worth every penny. I give this game a lot of points because of the Halo universe (well thought out) and the sound track is probably the best found for any video game.

Descent 2

Very old game, probably available a free download now. This is the first game I played online. By online I mean a modem link when I dialled a friend’s computer using my modem to connect to his pc running this game as a host. The attached video doesn’t make it look very good, its like watching a old cartoon from when you were young. It is one of the first games to ever use six degrees of freedom. (Wikipedia Link)

Top 10 Musicians

1. Michael Jackson

John Williams

This guys has produced almost every memorable movie soundtrack there is. The attached video has few of these, but not all. Seems to have missed out Jurassic Park, Harry Potter (the old ones), Superman, Minority Report, Jane Eyre, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan amongst many many others.
