Great Moments in Video Games - Hybrid edition pcps3xbox360wii

It's been a week for hybrids. We don't mean the Toyota Prius - even if it is the fastest accelerating car in the universe... according to some. We're talking about ArmA's new game mode bringing the FPSRTS and Dreamlords which is going the MMORTS route.

As a result, Great Moments is reflecting this week on Natural Selection - a classic hybrid mod for Half Life featuring aliens versus humans. One person on each team could destroy the base while everyone else played a classic class based shooter... mostly.

What's your favourite hybrid?

MMORTSFPS

Just for variety? Hybrids dont appeal to me too much apart from the MMORPG which just let me enjoy my winnings to the faces of everyone.

Natural Selection absolutely owned. Can't wait for the sequel if it ever happens.

Thief series for stealth 'em up(?)

WIth D3m0nZ on this one, can't stray too much from a winning formula.

I'm still gonna hang with Savage as a brilliantly explored combination of FPS and RTS. The final product was astounding, especially when it was released for free :D still have yet to see how Savage 2 matches up.

Savage and Savage 2 are champion games. GA should host some Savage 2 servers.

Agree with savage, but sadly but for a FPS/RTS/RPG/MMO/3rd Person Fighter, it seriously lacked any racing car modes.

Renegade is my second favourite shooter of all time, so we'll go with that.
