Halo1 is and will always be a classic in my mind, evolving the normal Console games to use 2 thumbsticks instead of one.
This was done before in numerous PS1 games, see Ape Escape, Rising Zan, etc.
On the computer I am still addicted to Diablo, nothing like going through "hell" and killing the Devil... Not theological at all I know, yet entertaining none the least.
And nothing like going online and wasting some time with a silly game like DIABLO, but that's just me. I hate online games, though.

I like emulating older console games with my PC, but I don't play B.S. like Diablo, Starcraft/Warcraft, Command & Conquer, Everquest, etc.
Those games in my opinion are the actual Devil that needs to be killed and sent to hell. Sad that people waste so much valuable time and money for online games. Ragnarok and Lineage (Korean MMORPGs) aren't any better! >:\

I don't play video games much anymore at all. It's a childish pursuit you grow out of as you mature. I think the arcade games of the late 80's and early 90's are a lot better than the sort of demonic drivel like Grand Theft Auto San Andreas that passes for entertainment nowadays. Back then satan was yet to get a foothold in this industry.

Pornography and abortion still existed during those times. Thank God for parental warnings.

I trutfhully would rather people waste thier time and money on video games, than waste it on other stuff... Online Gaming gives people the chance to forget about everything for a while, talk to people you dont know and sumwhat gain friendships. Also it takes away time where as a teenager they might be going out partying, drinking, drugs, and smoking; I would rather that my child plays online video games, and has fun and get addicted rather than him going out all the time... The games are the Devil? What makes online gaming the Devil, like what is so bad about it?

there is nothing wrong with most gaming, as long as one can keep it in prospective.
Church tradition tells us that when John, son of Zebadee and brother of James was an old man, his disciples would carry him to church in their arms.
He would simply say, “Little children, love one another”
After a time his disciples wearied at always hearing these same words and asked “Master why do you always say this?
He replied, “it is the Lords command, and if done, it is enough”
