Best game I played was GTA: San Andreas
Reason why: The way the gta series expanded over the years is what moved the gaming industry over the years. GTA San andreas had the best customisation seen in a game as you could basically make CJ however you want with as many hairstyle and clothing options, safehouse styles, vehicle customisation and radio stations to listen to it just blew my mind.
The amount of mini games like the casino games, racing, pool, car collecting, photography, stunts, dancing, lowrider suspension bounc competitions. The only game that came close in my mind to it's level of customisation was saints row 2 but saints row 2 could never beat gta iv for its sheer scale or vehicle handling. GTA IV in my opinion was a step down with most of the customisation scaled down with lots of drab clothing for niko and no car customisation as well as not many melee weapons it just seemed that GTA lost its humour and became too serious.
Worst game I played: Farcry 2
Reason why: It was just a real bland and boring game with miles and miles of identikit jungle and desert land, minimal civilisation and really annoying identikit enemies I just felt like I was going over the same stuff over again and with a boring story that I just didnt feel part of with the added fact that every now and then you would be struck down with maleria symptoms it just lacked any real fun.
It seems to me that developers seem to be making games more serious these days with too much challenge that gets stressful more often than fun, the fun factor seems to be lacking these days in games as what made me fall in love with video games from an early age was there epic feel their bright larger than life worlds in full colour graphics and realism be damned. The music themes always stuck in your head memorable and you missed the games, I want that feeling back.
