Sorry WB and GG, you were to late for the contest.

**Dudebro** · 10-14-2010, 04:19 PM

Glad to see Twisted Metal on the list. I was gonna be mad if Goldeneye wasn't there or low on the list, good to see I wasn't disappointed. Perfect Dark was better of course but it wasn't as big.

**samejamesbond** · 10-14-2010, 05:39 PM

I mostly agree with the list too, but I would have put SSBB over SSBM.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 10-14-2010, 05:46 PM

One thing Brawl has over Melee: Retro stages

**samejamesbond** · 10-14-2010, 05:48 PM

That's true, and Brawl had far more creative stages than Melee did.
The Final Smash really changed everything.

Finally, most of the SSBM characters were clones, SSBB had very diverse characters.
It even settled the Mario/Sonic debate.

I agree with James, I liked Brawl more than Melee. I like the list. Glad to see Mario Kart and Mario Party on there. Tons of fun there with my siblings and cousins.

**DrunkN** · 10-17-2010, 05:22 PM

Brawl is better, I agree, but Melee was a huge jump forward from Smash Bros. Brawl had most of everything right where it needed to be.

**Slime Slayer** · 10-17-2010, 06:05 PM

Saturn bomberman should have been on this list, and i haven't even ever played it.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 10-17-2010, 06:17 PM

Another fun local game: NFL Blitz even though people thought the coin op was better

**CatalystiCam** · 10-17-2010, 06:57 PM

Perfect dark is way better simply because it has bots in MP. People don't seem to get this... Sorry, I'm going to say imo that Perfect Darks multi-player is way better, I cannot vouch for missions though.

I think most people don't care. I agree that the addition of cool bots was awesome but most people who loved Goldeneye played with friends anyways, bots didn't matter to them.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 10-17-2010, 08:03 PM

Bots are very insignificant to a multiplayer game. It's a lot more fun with other players than AI who can't find you half the time

**CatalystiCam** · 10-17-2010, 08:10 PM

but you have golden eyes best maps in perfect dark and then you can play with friends while having bots too.

**Dudebro** · 10-17-2010, 08:15 PM

@SFF- I agree that most bots aren't fun but Perfect dark was different. You could customize them and set them on varying degrees of difficulty. I forget the name but the hardest ones could go invisible and they were cheap as hell. We liked to play humans vs the good bots and we'd end up pinned down trying to survive, it was awesome.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 10-17-2010, 08:19 PM

the game where the bots are at their stupidest: 007 Nightfire...

**CatalystiCam** · 10-17-2010, 08:20 PM

Sim ranks (general):

Meat Sim
Easy Sim
Normal Sim
Hard Sim
Perfect Sim
Dark Sim

you could also tell your bots what to do which is kind of hard to figure out since I didn't notice until owning the game for 5 years...

**StarfoxFan2009** · 10-17-2010, 08:24 PM

Then again, I've never experienced Perfect Dark as much as you have

**Dudebro** · 10-17-2010, 08:30 PM

Dark sim that's it. They were the first brutal AI I encountered. It was like playing against uber nerds in Halo before those try hards existed.

What do you mean about telling them what to do Cam? I played that game a ton and I'd probably remember if you give me some more info about it.

**CatalystiCam** · 10-17-2010, 08:38 PM

I can't remember the exact controls since I got it on xbla recently but you hold down the button you normally would to select a weapon through the menu (I think 'A' or 'B') then you hit 'Z' a few times while holding the button to get to a list of each and every bot on your team. You can cycle through them by hitting 'Z' and a list of orders will be available.

**Dudebro** · 10-17-2010, 09:02 PM

I think I remember that but it's foggy. It's probably barely worth using and I forgot the details after all the years. I did try to look it up quickly and found nothing, sorry.

**CatalystiCam** · 10-17-2010, 09:16 PM

it's useful because you can tell your bots to hold a position, attack a specific person or follow you or defend you.

**Dudebro** · 10-17-2010, 09:36 PM

Yeah I do remember making them defend or follow now that you say that. I still don't recall how to do it though. I'll try posting in the PD forum on Xbox.com and see if anyone there knows. I'd try gamefaqs but the board seems dead and most of them are full on tards.

**StarfoxFan2009** · 10-17-2010, 09:39 PM

I'll probably play it at some point

I haven't played Perfect Dark but I heard it has the same maps as Goldeneye.

**CatalystiCam** · 10-17-2010, 10:56 PM

it shares the best maps.
