The original Splinter Cell trilogy, but I suppose it doesn't count :v:
Half-Life.
[QUOTE=MrJazzy;49522302]The original Splinter Cell trilogy, but I suppose it doesn't count :v:[/QUOTE] If Splinter Cell had ended after Chaos Theory, I'd be able to fondly remember it as the greatest gaming trilogy ever and not a slow, painful descent into pure garbage territory.

Splinter Cell will never be what it used to be, but atleast Blacklist is a pretty dang good game for what it is.

Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 2 Super Mario Bros. 3 Is there a better answer?
Sands of Time trilogy, with Warrior Within being the best one.
Witcher
Halo 1-3

I guess Double Agent wasn't great, I dunno I didn't play that but Conviction was fine, if maybe not exactly a SC game and Blacklist was more or less just a proper SC game.
Jak and Daxter, the original Crash trilogy and the original Spyro trilogy. Uncharted is pretty fantastic. Of course Mass Effect is my favorite. TW3 is one of my fav games of all time but 2 was mediocre at best and 1 was.. well it was something.
Bioshock

Uncharted was also kinda boring, but it's what sold me on the PS3 anyway, it was kinda neat but the story was pretty bad and the gunplay was okay. I had way more fun with Half-Life 2 on the PS3 :v: The Orange Box was an amazing deal too. I'll never be able to play through HL2 ever again though, it bores the shit out of me now, all the mistery is kinda gone and the gameplay is a bit eh, it's not a very replayable game, I love Episode 2 though, I don't remember anything about Episode 1. I think Half-Life 2 and the episodes are best enjoyed if you go through all of them at once, I pretty much spent a week or two playing through these and I had a ton of fun, fuck the strider city section though, with a controller, on the hardest difficulty.

Maybe, maybe not. Is it a bad Splinter Cell game? Yes, completely. Press X to instantly shoot every guy in the room is about as far from classic Splinter Cell gameplay as you can get and I think that's tragic.
