So you go back to your save point and don't go that way again. Also, in this game, that is an option. You have missions that get progressively harder, so there's not reason not to know what you are supposed to be going or where you should be going.
Absolutely love the game - the only minor beef I had was having to run around in the confusing subway system too much.

Starcraft was drafted at 3.7 and Civilization II at 1.7.No RTS/Strategy drafted yet.

5.03 - Star Wars (1983) - Arcade game
I pity the children of today. Not being able to walk into arcades like The Pirate's Den in West Acres in Fargo, North Dakota.
The sights and sounds (and smells!) were unparalleled.
Among the sounds most distinctive were "Red five standing by!" and "The Force will be with you...always." eminating from the Star Wars game. Sure the vector graphics weren't all that. And sure it got nearly impossible on your third run. But when you gripped that X-wing controller (or better yet actually found a sit down version) you FELT like you were Luke Skywalker - which of course every boy in the 80's wanted to be.
I'd love to get one of these for my house.

Oh, I guess "PC" = strategy/RTSObviously these two qualify, but I thought they were being placed in another category.Starcraft was drafted at 3.7 and Civilization II at 1.7.No RTS/Strategy drafted yet.

Check the 4th post to see what category games are currently placed in. Owners can change them later if need be to fit other games in.Oh, I guess "PC" = strategy/RTSObviously these two qualify, but I thought they were being placed in another category.Starcraft was drafted at 3.7 and Civilization II at 1.7.No RTS/Strategy drafted yet.

The clock didn't even last a day, a holiday at that.

Five out of the nine hours on the clock were spent timing out today. During that time we have 10-11 of the drafters on a good portion of the time randomly. We could have knocked out 2-3 rounds but managed 10 picks.

this is actually normal...non-drafter think 1 hour is too short, but regular drafters want 1, so they compromise on 2...Then realize that 2 hours is brutal and that 1 hour really isn't as short as it sounds like it is and it ends up being 1 ASAP...every draft goes like that (except the ones that skip right to 1 hour or less of a clock)

first my apologies..I am not gonna send a list right now. This is because my pick is a ways off and the clock should be off by the time it gets to me. I also want to think about what I want to do. I was really hoping Bowser or Donkey Kong would fall to me.
Slax--On second thought feel free to make the available pick from my list if my turn comes up....when the clock is in effect.

Someone took NFL2K over the Madden franchise?

I could site dozens of reputable top 50, 100, etc. lists of greatest games of all time that list Chrono Trigger in the top 5 (and a ton more that list it in the top 20)... To say that Chrono Trigger (AND Ocarina of Time) are bad picks in round 1 just shows that you are more out of touch with video games than you are in regards to the Pac 10's place in the world...

5.06 Madden 2004 (sports game)
Hopefully the spotlighting doesn't take steam from this pick.
Always at the forefront of gaming, the Madden franchise has always been the pinnacle of sports video games.
It was tough to pick a year due to all the innovations this game provided, but I went with 2004 due to the incredible graphics, smoother gameplay, and the awesome owner mode.

5.07 System Shock 2 (PC game) Suspense/Horror
System Shock 2 is regarded by critics as highly influential, particularly on first-person shooters and the horror genre. In a retrospective article, Gamespot declared the title "well ahead of its time" and stated it "upped the ante in dramatic and mechanical terms" by creating a horrific game play experience.The title has been inducted into a number of features listing the greatest games ever made, including ones by Gamespy, Edge, IGN, Gamespot, and PC Gamer.

Franchise mode has been awful ever since that year's game. Definitely a good choice. 03 would have been my other.

It was a great game, but not worthy of a first round pick.

I'm not so sure about that. The NHL series was superior to the Madden series for a good while in the 90s. And although Madden was definitely the best sports game for awhile in the early-to-mid 00s, the NHL series again has it beat today (as do a couple of other sports games that I won't mention because they haven't been picked yet).And of course prior to Madden, there was Tecmo Super Bowl.

#1. I'm not going to question Legend of Zelda being at number 5, its legacy is known to everyone of us. But you considered it a good pick. Consider that Zelda fans all over the world debate on a constant basis on whether Ocarina of Time or A Link to the Past is the best Zelda of All-Time and I think that validates my pick. #2. The last person in the world I'll ever take video game advice from is LHUCKS. If I have a Pac-10 question, you might be in my top 1000, though.

Again, it depends on what you define as "greatest". Not only is 2k5 better than Madden, so is Tecmo Super Bowl, at least in terms of enjoyment.I think the primary gauge of how good a game is is how fun it is. If you grew up playing video games, you know that TSB is one of the most fun games ever.And I'm still picking MY favorite games anyway, not ones that I think are other people's favorites.

5.08 Halo 3 - XBOX 360 - best multiplayer

I like this game. I just wonder if it's taken too early. It should be pointed out for those that don't know that System Shock 2 is the spiritual predecessor to Bioshock. For those who stuck to consoles, this one may be an obscure title. But it truly is influential.

5.9 Mega Man 2, Generation 3, NES
With the best game soundtrack of all time and some of the best platforming on the NES, Mega Man was everything you wanted in a video game. It features challenging levels, a rock-paper-scissors style way of dealing with bosses, where you need to defeat the easier bosses first, take their special power and apply that towards the boss that has it as a weakness.
By the way, Heat Man may sound like the easiest, but he's not.

The original Zelda game had a much bigger impact than Ocarina...Ocarina was a great game, but in the first few rounds I'm looking for genre defining selections...not just good games.Zelda qualifies, Ocarina simply does not...more of a 5th round type of selection.I don't care what the Zelda geeks think.

depends on the category they are picked for. Just saying it seems some games are considered a particular genre because of the weapons used in the game/etc. But great games as they may be, they may not be the best representation of that genre.
and that's all the hinting I'll give.

You need to just give your "gamer" card back to wherever you got it from and stop doing this, because you just nullified any positive thoughts of your opinion anyone could have possibly had...

Again, great game, but not a game changer in gaming.
