Games To Play Before You Die- Part 1

Solider of Fortune
This was a game that stirred up a lot of controversy for its dismemberment system wherein you could blow up individual limbs of your enemies. This game also boasted of a great plot, some really awesome cutscenes and great weapons. SOF was a true FPS but it was new and innovative, unfortunately the sequels couldn't live up to the original.




Medal of Honor Allied Assault
A true gem in World War Shooter genre, MOHAA is
a landmark in gaming. This is an authentic world war
experience that is largely responsible for converting
millions of gamers into virtual world war veterans.





Contra
Konami has many games to its credit but Contra is
probably the best of the lot. This simple 2D side scroller
is still one of the most additive games of all time, and
remains one of my favorite co-op experiences ever.
The sci-fi weapons, amazing level design and great boss
fights make Contra a memorable game.


Mario
The grandaddy of great gaming, Mario deserves a mention
in every gamer's list. Mario is a huge commercial success
on every platform, right from the 8-bit consoles to the current master of home consoles, the Nintendo Wii. Some of the best games in the series are Mario Bros (NES), Mario Cart on the Nintendo DS and Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Wii.


Okami
Okami is one of those rare games that make you think and connect with you emotionally. Its storyline, highly inspired visuals and the subtle yet mesmerizing soundtrack make Okami a very special game. This is a game that takes some time getting used to, but once you get the basics right, there is a ton of great gameplay to be enjoyed.
