Shadow of the Colossus or Hitman 3.
I liked the way these games allow the player to tackle each mission in their own way, whether it be the long and brutal route or the quick and efficient way. Srsly, I just saw a speed run of SOTC, fucking going from ground zero to the fucking sky by jumping off the sword of the BEAST only to land on it's head. Sword tip first, feet second. That's fucking bad ass no matter how you look at it. And the stuff agent 47 has to do is awesome too but I digress.
So which, for those of you who have played them, do you prefer?
Shadow of the Colossus!
Hitman.
SOTC is great, but there's just something about sneaking into man's house dressed as a clown, rigging the BBQ to explode (and thus setting his wife and bodyguards on fire) and then killing said man with your choice of household appliance while he cowers in a closet.
Hitman 3. Record videos too if possible.
SOTC imo but [on a random note i never knew it was a prequel for another game called: "Ico" also a great game! :D ]
old school? -ish
those games arent even close to old school. :P
the last great action game that ive played that i enjoyed alot was the Parasite Even Series. on Ps1
That even going farther back Lengend of Mystical Ninja and Secret of Mana on SNES [both now on Wii Virtua Console] :D
Epic old school games. :P
Super Mario 64 the original. I stand firm on it. :U
If you can pick up a copy of Quake or Quake 2. Awesome shooters. :P
