I'm starting to feel that Need for Speed: The Run should be included on this, if only for the hardest difficulty setting the game possesses. It demands perfection for the first two-thirds of the game, then just outright makes it impossible for you to continue. Spoilers Below Spoiler When you hit Chicago and the mob comes after you in the Helicopter? it takes four hits to total the car. Plus it has no power at all, so you fight and swerve, and the damn thing still screws you over before the first corner. It is literally impossible. I cannot see a way through that doesn't involve cheating. Combine this with only one checkpoint reset and it's a recipe for an awful segment of gameplay.
There was something called "X3TC Bonus Package" which is basically like a final patch, so you should get that. As for mods though, there are sooooo many and they change almost everything about the game. So most people recommend playing it first as "vanilla" with no mods installed. That way you can get a feel for the original game and then you can choose which mods will suit you the best. It depends how hardcore you want to play it. For example there is a thing called Salvage Insurance which basically means you can save the game anywhere in space, but you have to buy it. So there is a mod which gives you unlimited salvage insurance which is great for beginners because you can now save the game anytime. If you want to make a lot of money from trading, then there are mods for commodities and the trading computer on the ships which helps you automate your ships to go out and trade for you. In the end I went with something called XRM which is a total conversion mod and changes lots of things in one go.

If you exclude the ability to play with friends, it has to be FIFA12 for me. The AI is truely terrible, when you're winning your team will start to wander off and do the most retarded things. Mind you, this crap is what I've come to expect from EA these days.
Deus Ex HR. What the hell is this pile of tripe? Oh yeah we put a yellow tint filter over everything, that's modern and hip. All our voice actors speak really slow, it makes them sound super serious. What a waste of a perfectly good DVD-ROM.
There is a mod I believe to remove the yellow filter and it looks incredible. http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/09/deus-ex-mod-removes-gold-filter-game-suddenly-looks-even-better/
Let me explain a little before I give my worst game ever awards. The first FPS I ever played was Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force for Mac OS(on my beloved Indigo Blue iMac G3, all 500mhz of it!), an awesome Quake III engine based sci-fi FPS with good story and great multiplayer, and awesome mod support(it was Quake III based, after all). It was classing run gun fun, and it featured the real voice actors from my favorite Star Trek series. You had 8 weapon slots, could run really fast and jump really high and bunny hop and all the good stuff FPS's used to let you do. I must have put literally more than five thousand hours into it. Makes my GMod 3000 hours look like an amusing diversion. Then the PS2 port came along. It improved on the graphics not one bit (it made them worse in fact, resolution was half that of my beloved iMac G3) and the controls were some of the worst I had ever used. Worst of all though, was the severely gimped down multiplayer. Split screen only (fine, acceptable), half the maps (They got rid of my favorite, those ****ERS), only had a 10 minute time limit, only four player models, and generally just ****. Fortunately, it didn't ruin the game for me as the fantastic modding community kept me playing all the way up until I discovered Steam. Sadly, I have no computers that will play my original Mac disk, though I do have a failed hard drive iMac sitting in my room staring at me.... I own Daikatana, but have yet to play it as the CD drive on my laptop is out and I've been running my desktop under "can't be assed to turn it on" policy.
I hope they don't ruin it, TC was outstanding once you spent the time getting to grips with it. Like has been said there were many tutorials to help get you started. I really hope they don't dumb down X: Rebirth just to cater for people who don't have the inclination to learn.
You see all that rep you have...... That should get reset to zero for this and this alone. Its worse that treason what you did here.
Stormrise by a country mile. My steam profile shows I played ~30 minutes of this pile of tripe but doesn't reflect the time I wasted trying to get it to play nice with GFWL and Steam. The controls are terrible, the plot paper thin, I think I got halfway through the tutorial missions before saying "forget this, you aren't even worth the HDD space" The only saving grace is that I didn't buy the game it just came bundled with my graphics card.
I've had Stormrise over a year (part of a sega bundle) and still not installed it. Probably never will.
Have I mentioned Chaser in this thread already? If not, I'm mentioning it now. It had the worst level design in any game, ever. Gameplay was pretty duff, too, and the graphics were ugly. All of that was made worse by the fact that it looked so good and received so much hype. Only thing worse than a clearly terrible game is a terrible game masquerading as a good one.
I used to enjoy HL2: DM when the servers had people on them. Never been a fan of Team Fortress and never tried Ricochet. And the reason you have them is probably because you own Half Life and Half Life2.
Are you for real. TFC was prime back in the day. Has some fantastic matches and epic teamwork battles! Love the engineer role
