God of War

[Tequila]

RE4.

But Psychonauts deserves a mention.

shadow of colossus without a doubt for me

I really don't play console games, so Psychonauts is probably the closest thing I can mention. I guess since it designed for the Xbox it's most closely a console game. Total best.

As for Mercenaries, not tried it, but I checked out the soundtrack after your words Izuno. Very nice! I wouldn't go so far as to say best game music ever as certain other LucasArts games lay claim to that, and I also prefered Michael's Medal of Honour scores, but it's certainly a high ranker.

God of War

(This is despite the fact that I don't have a console and haven't played God Of War )

[JynxDaddy]

Metroid Prime 2

[Grinwhrl]

RE4

[Phatsniper]

I only buy a couple of console games a year (mainly PS2 although I own a Gamecube).

My pick would have to be Metal Gear Solid 3. Amazing gameplay, visuals, musical score and of course, story. Hideo Kojima is god.

I still havn't played RE4 yet! My Gamecube's been gathering dust ever since I wore out Super Mario Sunshine but I'll definately pick it up when I've got a couple of days (and quid) to spare!

Oh, and Psychonauts demo rocked! I'll have to get a copy shipped to me here in rainy old Britain.

It was a toss up between Re4 and Shadow of the Colossus

until I realized RE4 is way better.

shadow of the colossus is such a throw-your-controller-at-the-wall game D:

have you guys played God of War? do yourself a favor, and pick up a copy.

[Izuno]

I have the soundtrack in my car .... man...makes me want to play that game over and over...sequel can't come fast enough. I heard his Medal of Honor music, and htat is good, but if you listen to the whole Mercs soundtrack you realize how much he has evolved as a composer. Just blows me away.

Yeah I haven't played God of War though. I should really just go get it.

[Zacker]

I got no console that is how I like it to be...
