2006 was a fantastic year for memorable video games on PC, PS2, 360 Wii, DS, and more. Here are some of the big favorites. Subscribe for more: th-cam.com/users/gameranxTV?su...
I just bought The Warriors the other day on Playstation Store. After all these years its still fun to play! The graphics are decent but man it's harder than I remember it
Games not on the list that were great: Destroy All Humans 2 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories Mother 3 Mortal Kombat Armageddon (I don't care what anyone says, I loved this one) Half Life 2: Episode 1 Saints Row Just Cause Scarface: The World is Yours The Godfather
just vice city stories. the og vice city came out in 2002. but damn I loved both. Also Armageddon was great. Played the Konquest mode through so much as a kid finding all the relics. thought it was crazy how they had every character. made me disappointed with every fighting game roster after that tbh. had me thinking we’ve came so far technologically that rosters missing no characters would be the new norm. og saints row was really great too!
Chaos theory the best, also pandora tomorrow said its been banned in my country cuz it takes place in indonesia. Althought idc about that, but i want to try it soon.
This was the most depressing and sad year of my entire life. When my mother passed away from cancer. I am blessed videogames was there. Farcry Instincts Predator helped me cope with depression of that year
Oblivion blew my mind at that time in my life. Never played anything like it. I was maybe a softmore or junior in high school and wasted most of a summer playing that. Loved it, wish I could go back to a time where a video game could be one of the only things I invest my time into and have it hold my interest...
Okami is a gorgeous masterpiece at that time and whenever I played it, it relieved the stressors I felt back in those days. The art style is whimsically pleasing, music was beautifully relaxing, the environments of each area are unique and gorgeously detailed, and the weapons that Ammy used are really cool. I still play it to this day and no other game had inspire me to take up drawing again, not only am I in love with this game but I have to give it thanks for inspiring me at one point in my life to draw again.
@@splint3r236 I did the same, I can't get the last bead from mega Blockhead, that one is hard and trying to do that mini game for too long makes my head hurt. 🤕😩
I really liked ‘Tomb Raider legends’ back in the day, finally a good and refreshing game after the decline of quality that started with the fourth game by the original developer. Should’ve been on the list, in my opinion
I remember I wanted to play Oblivion on my cousins PS3. This was back when the PS3 was still relatively new. I didn’t know what the game was but he wouldn’t let me play. Until the last day I slept over and he just let me play it. I fell in love and found it was a game in a genre called RPG. And I found out what it meant and found out those were my type of games. Oblivion created my love for RPG games. Never forget that feeling of wonder I had when I first played it.
@@Masaaee Not really. Budget doesn't equate to good story or gameplay. Budget is mainly for graphics. I've played plenty of 90's (and therefore lower budget) games I enjoyed a lot more than bully.
I'm playing through Final Fantasy XII for the First time now, even though I owned the original and I'm so mad I passed over it! It's a very underrated game
I swear that the Bethesda games such as Oblivion, FNV, Skyrim gave been the most nostalgic to me. I remember going to the Mad Realm and it was such an atmospheric experience. These games have been the best for me.
You said Okami so weirdly that it took me a second to realize what it was lmfao. That is still definitely one of my favorite games! The ghost ship level ruined me tho lol
Speaking of which, where's Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War on this list. They also had those Ace sequences that were never used in the other Ace Combat games.
this is the year that my gaming obsession began and it was thanks to alot of these games I was 10 and obsessed with Oblivion I played it way to much probably lol
Thank you for reminding me how awesome 2006 was. I think this is when I really started to feel like a "gamer". It was all due to how great all these games were.
Really surprised me that Saints Row wasn’t on here. One of the best games of 2006 and a lot of people still ask for remasters for it today. The story was okay, I’d had some nostalgia to it, but it was the multiplayer that really made that game come to life.
That's Mario's greek Stepbrother from his Father's Side. His Father had other Missteps too. Luerio, Werio, Waluerio and Bitch (Peach's Stepsister, a really dirty one...)
Darn thought rainbow six vegas would be mentioned, especially the amount of terrorist hunt maps you get is spectacular tbh. Lots of endless fun and full of items and weapons to unlock
@@wooziikz I can understand that because Ammy's name can be a bit of a mouth full but Orochi is only 3 syllables and not hard to pronounce at all, I feel like he did that on purpose to be a bit of a dick to the ppl who were probably going to harp on him for pronouncing Amaterasu wrong. But I see no one doing that in the comments, and if he couldn't say it properly all he had to do was call her Ammy.
Oblivion ❤️ I remember my buddy walking me through getting umbra over the phone hahaha. Used the walk on water potion, ran back to the main city, and watches the guards fight her for a good 5 minutes before she finally went down lmao.
For racing fans, we're having a similar event. Imola, an old and beloved track, has been added to this year's F1 season, and the last F1 race held there was in 2006
I'd say Pokemon Diamond & Pearl should be on the list. Diamond got me back into pokemon, and kind of revived the pokemon franchise after the decline in popularity during Ruby & Sapphire.
I remember I scoffed at the "nerd" behind the counter when he suggested oblivion. I chose Saints Row, and Madden instead. Then about 2 years later out of boredom I played Oblivion and it literally changed the way I loook at games.
I can't wait for the 2007 episode! Halo 3, COD 4, Bioshock, assassin's creed, portal, Mass effect, the witcher, Uncharted 3, God of war 2 and more! 2007 was PACKED!
TES IV has the best Dark Brotherhood questline I have ever played so far, my all time favorite mission is Whodunit. That mission made me feel like I was playing a blend of Guess Who and Clue at the same time, I think that mission to me really highlights your murderous intent while testing on how well you preform in an enclosed setting. Really fucking fun!

Bully needs a sequel. What had Jimmy been doing all of these years??? He probably turned into Trevor Phillips.
Ragemachine I’m pretty sure they’re all in the same universe
I was speaking generally. Jimmy grew up to be a terror, possibly.
@@CasualxGamer91 I said what I said, sir.
@Ayan MUKHERJEE I was and I wasn't. In the end, a Bully sequel is needed (in my opinion).
@@CasualxGamer91 its not that serious my man it's a game we call got what landi ment chill
I would add Need For Speed Carbon, Saints Row and Scarface to that list
Scarface was excellent.
@@stanettiels7367 hell yeah😂
Don't forget The Godfather, it's like Scarface's brother.
Don't forget Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)
Scarface, to this day I dream of a remaster.
Bully game exists
Rockstar be like - " we don't even know we made this game"
Nobody:
Sharkstar: An 8 years old game would be perfect for the PS5 event.
@@MrNayru advertise the game using early PS3 and Xbox 360 era footage
that voice sounded like Jake fused with Falcon.
lmao facts
This sounds like Falcon Baldino.
They trained an AI to deepfake the narration, but accidentally just trained it on the whole channel instead of one person 😂
Fuckin' beat me to it.
It's got Falcon's tired, sleepy delivery, with Jake's energy and articulation scattered throughout.
Infinitely better than falcon
I’d like to see a Bully sequel, and The Warriors remastered. My favorite street brawl game of all time
The Warriors seriously does not get enough props. I used to spend hours throwing Orphans off of rooftops in brawl mode
M Giebus lol that last sentence out of context
I just bought The Warriors the other day on Playstation Store. After all these years its still fun to play! The graphics are decent but man it's harder than I remember it
Games not on the list that were great:
Destroy All Humans 2
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Mother 3
Mortal Kombat Armageddon (I don't care what anyone says, I loved this one)
Half Life 2: Episode 1
Saints Row
Just Cause
Scarface: The World is Yours
The Godfather
Prey 2006 also
just vice city stories. the og vice city came out in 2002. but damn I loved both. Also Armageddon was great. Played the Konquest mode through so much as a kid finding all the relics. thought it was crazy how they had every character. made me disappointed with every fighting game roster after that tbh. had me thinking we’ve came so far technologically that rosters missing no characters would be the new norm. og saints row was really great too!
@@goldenwolfe5085 Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi, Shadow of Colossus and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
The Godfather man... That's a game that should be brought back.
Add Oblivion to this list and Its better.
Bully 2 really needs to happen
Let's face it, it will never happen. Rockstar it's not the same anymore and Take-Two is there to make sure of it.
It’s canceled
Sergio game kinda like gta+ kids= no. Sadly. Look at every shooter Nowadays, no kids.
Lets not forget Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Pandora tomorrow and chaos theory for me
Chaos theory the best, also pandora tomorrow said its been banned in my country cuz it takes place in indonesia. Althought idc about that, but i want to try it soon.
Let's not indeed
Double Agent was the start of the downfall for me personally. LOVED Splinter Cell 1-3 though.
Hella underrated, but Chaos Theory tho......that was the SHIT
This was the most depressing and sad year of my entire life. When my mother passed away from cancer. I am blessed videogames was there. Farcry Instincts Predator helped me cope with depression of that year
I'm sorry man
Im sorry you had to go through that, I hope things have gotten better for you. I’m sending you positive energy
Oblivion blew my mind at that time in my life. Never played anything like it. I was maybe a softmore or junior in high school and wasted most of a summer playing that. Loved it, wish I could go back to a time where a video game could be one of the only things I invest my time into and have it hold my interest...
I saw bully had to watch, Bully and deadrising I still play those games every once in a while!
Daniel Rea same their both a masterpiece
Bully, Burnout: Revenge, NFS: Carbon Saints Row, and Driver: Parallel Lines are my favorites from '06.
Why are you EVERYWHERE?
MIDNIGHT CLUB CANCELLED SOZ!!
Really need a remake of these
Hello my friend, when's the face reveal?
What you here for? Racing cars man. 😎

My childhood is in that game and still my favorite game of all time
@@splint3r236 Same! Hours upon hours of play, and yet I still haven't managed to get all of the hidden beads.
@@RoyG.BivDevoe SAME LOL! Only years later when I got my laptop I looked up the locations online and went after all of them xD
@@splint3r236 I did the same, I can't get the last bead from mega Blockhead, that one is hard and trying to do that mini game for too long makes my head hurt. 🤕😩
Dude, 2006 is 14 years ago! Shit we're old! I remember when all this game first comes out
Oh, you're one of those conspiracy theorists who believe that 2006 was 14 years ago...
@@thebombspayloadisexposed what does that supposed to mean?
@@muhammadiqbalalexandresapu9452 hes an idiot dont listen to this guy
I was 14 when I played all these games and now I'm 28. It really doesn't feel like half my life away.
@@thebombspayloadisexposed Lol you can tell that he was probably born after 2000...
Playing Hitman: Blood Money now. Still love it.
Im so happy final fantasy 12 made the list. That game is incredible and it really deserves more attention.
10 Worst Games Of 2006 We Never FORGET.
#1: Sonic 06
2006 was a DAMN good year for gaming.
I really liked ‘Tomb Raider legends’ back in the day, finally a good and refreshing game after the decline of quality that started with the fourth game by the original developer. Should’ve been on the list, in my opinion

Bully
Comic klepto was the best shit
I’m 11 and I think classics are the best
Honestly the spyro trilogy with Elijah Wood as spyro was my favorite
Bully needs a remake and or a second game. Such a underrated game which deserves more love and attention
Meh. Reshade can make it look like a remake. I liked the classroom mini games but gta will always have a better story and gameplay
@@bloodsweatandbeers4684 yeah because of the budget for gta games are higher
@@Masaaee Not really. Budget doesn't equate to good story or gameplay. Budget is mainly for graphics. I've played plenty of 90's (and therefore lower budget) games I enjoyed a lot more than bully.
@@bloodsweatandbeers4684 yeah i guess so
That bully music bring back so many memories
Apart from Oblivion, to me 2006 was all about Tomb Raider Legend and Mortal Kombat Armageddon!
Who the hell is talking wtf. Jake and Falcon have a kid?
For real?!? And he sounds so quiet. Shy Ronny! Speak up!!
Who ever it is... they need a hug :(
Mic difference probs
A bum baby
It's Andrew!!!!
I'm playing through Final Fantasy XII for the First time now, even though I owned the original and I'm so mad I passed over it! It's a very underrated game
I'm Captain Basch of Dalmasca!
@@maximillionroivas3893 shhh don't draw too much attention
I swear that the Bethesda games such as Oblivion, FNV, Skyrim gave been the most nostalgic to me. I remember going to the Mad Realm and it was such an atmospheric experience. These games have been the best for me.
FF12 is one hell of a great game. Once you learn the battle system you can become OP early on in the game
You said Okami so weirdly that it took me a second to realize what it was lmfao. That is still definitely one of my favorite games! The ghost ship level ruined me tho lol
Fun fact about Okami, on ps3 it’s rendered at FULL 4K, and downsampled to 1080p. Yea pretty cool that that was a thing.
In blood money I loved the newspaper article as the mission review. I wish that still existed as it would add to the way you play.
Speaking of which, where's Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War on this list. They also had those Ace sequences that were never used in the other Ace Combat games.
Easily God hand was a brilliant game
And it released in 2006 soo....
That game was so awesome
Lol legit I'm playing bully rn I found it at my trade it
Oblivion deserves a remaster. First time I've ever asked for one.
this is the year that my gaming obsession began and it was thanks to alot of these games
I was 10 and obsessed with Oblivion I played it way to much probably lol
I love Bully, but comparing to the other games, it looks a little bit older
i still remember trying to beat RAAM in insane mode was bloooooody difficult
This whole series of videos needs a part two. There have been some GREATS left behind
I loved Bully, I remember renting it as a kid
Game from 2006 I never forgot: The Godfather
Sorry man that was one of the most repetitive games i ever played. Every hideout was exactly the same. JMO
Shaun Withem But the story tho.
I still play that game from time to time.
Scarface: The World Is Yours
Flatout 2
Thank you for reminding me how awesome 2006 was. I think this is when I really started to feel like a "gamer". It was all due to how great all these games were.
0:44 "i've covered wars you know" this phrase has already become Frank's trademark! 👌😂😂
I am a simple man, I see Bully I click
Resistance: Fall of Man
Anyone else remember blazing angels squadrons of ww2?
Nope? That game was my childhood, one of the best games I have ever played in my opinion.
There's something iconic about oblivion's soundtrack
Pretty much everyone: Would love to have Bully 2 or even a remaster!
Rockstar: a PS5 fan request will be released... GTA V 4th edition.
Noooooooooooo
Really surprised me that Saints Row wasn’t on here. One of the best games of 2006 and a lot of people still ask for remasters for it today. The story was okay, I’d had some nostalgia to it, but it was the multiplayer that really made that game come to life.
Funny that both Oblivion and Twilight Princess are my two most favorite games. I miss having experiences like that.
Saints Row 1,Smackdown Vs Raw 2007, Gears of War 1 were the top favorite games in 2006
@2:44 “New Super Merio Bro’s.” - Jack did you write this the way you say it?
Merio
That's Mario's greek Stepbrother from his Father's Side. His Father had other Missteps too. Luerio, Werio, Waluerio and Bitch (Peach's Stepsister, a really dirty one...)
Wow, I'm quick as heck boii, also these series are pretty interesting
Same
Ow man, I remember those day spending hours in Bully game after back from school. Nostalgic hit me hard with FF12.
I'm eager to see what the list will be for 2007. 😎
Kingdom hearts 2 will 100% be on this list, easily top 10 ps2 games
2005
@@deandreilee but it released literally everywhere else in 2006
Why is he so quiet?? I thought maybe for a moment that it was Falcon, but after turning up the volume to max, I was proven wrong.
Sounds too sober for falcon
Darn thought rainbow six vegas would be mentioned, especially the amount of terrorist hunt maps you get is spectacular tbh. Lots of endless fun and full of items and weapons to unlock
I can think of another game I never forgotten that was made in that year
Next time 2007 why??
Assassin's Creed 1
Call of duty MW
Crysis and much more.
Halo 3, bio shock, mass effect
Miguel yeah 2007 popped off. 2006 was pretty weak
Don't Forget Uncharted
2007?
the arrow glitch in oblivion to get infinite items was the best hands down
Thanks for making me feel old.
The song is called "seek and destroy", not search and destroy.
By the stooges or metallica ?
@@aaron.6923 ooh. I thought he was talking about Metallica's song. You know, I thought falcon was in charge of the script.
@@RepugnanciaDulzona me too, until i heard him say The Stooges haha . to be fair he said it real fast it slipped through our ears.

@@wooziikz It also could have been a slip of the tongue too. 🤷
I gotta admit, Wii Sports was my favorite game of 2006.
I love when you guys do this video series.
We need to BULLY Rockstar Games to make a BULLY 2..😆😆😆
Just kidding, don't to that
Actually i want that
Arcacinth same the game was my favorite
*Hope everyone who sees this achieves their dreams one day and becomes successful* ❤️💫
My dream is to become a successful TH-camr one day 😌❤️
You too man good luck and subbed
Stop self promoting
Oblivion ❤️ I remember my buddy walking me through getting umbra over the phone hahaha.
Used the walk on water potion, ran back to the main city, and watches the guards fight her for a good 5 minutes before she finally went down lmao.
2007 was the golden year
New Super Mario Bros describes my childhood. I remember playing with my sister on our DS's on long car rides.
Could not agree more with the inclusion of FFXII. Fantastic game, highly underrated.
Fight Night Round 3 is the greatest boxing game and the only reason I keep my PS3 plugged in.
Gears of War was such a fun and unique break from Halo 2
06 was a huge turning point for video games in general
Ah man, 2004-2007 was a beautiful time, so many awesome games
Petition for gameranx to look back on old flash games
This made me realize 2006 was my favorite year for gaming as a kid
This should be the list that will never be forgotten 💥💥
For racing fans, we're having a similar event. Imola, an old and beloved track, has been added to this year's F1 season, and the last F1 race held there was in 2006
Oblivion was my very first game I loved and still the one game I have most hours in to this day.
I think its the same for me
I'd say Pokemon Diamond & Pearl should be on the list. Diamond got me back into pokemon, and kind of revived the pokemon franchise after the decline in popularity during Ruby & Sapphire.
I remember I scoffed at the "nerd" behind the counter when he suggested oblivion. I chose Saints Row, and Madden instead. Then about 2 years later out of boredom I played Oblivion and it literally changed the way I loook at games.
Guitar Hero II and Lego Star Wars II were my biggest ones as a teen from '06.
I can't wait for the 2007 episode! Halo 3, COD 4, Bioshock, assassin's creed, portal, Mass effect, the witcher, Uncharted 3, God of war 2 and more! 2007 was PACKED!
I will NEVER forget Tales of the Abyss. Which released in North America in 2006. Not to mention Xenosaga Episode 3
2006 was one of the best years in American history
I think Scarface is the most underrated game of all time you rarely hear any channel talk about it. Gameranx you should cover Scarface
How can you forget Midnight Club 3
That was 2005.
@@ashleythomas4112 oh
Twilight Princess will always be one of my all time favorites.
Good time for gaming back then. Still play allot of games from that period
Gears of war series is so underrated
How could you leave out the Curious George game?!
I still breakout the ps2 to play Bully from time to time. If they used Jimmy as an adult character in a GTA game that would be amazing
It’s always a joy to see Twilight Princess ranked #1 on any list.
This might not have been from 2006 but we can’t forget Simpson’s hit and run
Resistance Fall of Man for me is what pops up when I think about 2006.
TES IV has the best Dark Brotherhood questline I have ever played so far, my all time favorite mission is Whodunit. That mission made me feel like I was playing a blend of Guess Who and Clue at the same time, I think that mission to me really highlights your murderous intent while testing on how well you preform in an enclosed setting. Really fucking fun!
