Table Tennis and Galaga both kick ass. I dont know what you people see is wrong with them. Maybe you just don't know how to play them right.
I'm going to check out the feeding frenzy 2 demo now.
The problem with Galaga is it came out in 1981 and anyone who wanted to play it already did by now.
Halo 2 is my favorite game ever, but if 20 years from now it's offered for 8 bucks on Xbox 1080, I'm going to have no motivation to buy or play it again because I already did 20 years earlier.
Galaga is timeless. Halo 2 is already outdated trash.
Galaga and Halo are two different types of games, though. Most newer games seem to be missing something that just made them "fun" to play, no matter how many times you trucked through them. Not too many games seem to do that anymore.
Games like Galaga are all about score and points. Putting it online and bringing leader boards into the mix just makes something that was already great an absolute blast because now you're playing against others and stacking yourself up to them.
Hell, even without that though, just getting better at these types of games is fun. Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 3, two games that I played more times since their release than I could possibly fathom, are still fantastic games today despite being 21 and 16 years old.
Each their own, I guess.
Yet more people will play Halo 2 today than any other online FPS.Originally Posted by Yoshi
Strange how that works.

no it just shows what shitty taste people have these say!
The correllation between popularity and quality is weak at best.
FPSes are really over rated. Halo 2 was alright, but the single player was meh and the multiplayer was full of morons. Both times I bought the game I ended up selling it soon after due to really trying to get into it and just becoming bored in the end. Floats your boat, though, then enjoy.

IBTN!

The quality of a game is directly related to it's popularity. Why? Becuase in matters of opinion the majority is the side that's correct. Unless I missed the mathematical break down where each game can be call good or bad based on something other than the general consensus.
Also, didn't you say in the gaming secrets thread that you've never played Halo 2? If you've never touched it, it's reviews were phenominal and it's without a doubt the most popular FPS of the last two years and the most popular console FPS ever (not to mention it had the highest grossing first week of any entertainment release including DVDs, Movies and CDs) what exactly is your basis for saying it's a bad game?
I mean, I'm not even speaking as a fanboy right now, but Halo 2 pretty much has the numbers and the fanbase to back itself up. What do you have?
