Gotta be Transcend.  The best moment for me was the choice of music in the final battle. 

As good as Silent Hill 2 was, "Betrayal" was wasted on it.  Transcend made it work brilliantly.

Transcend. But not by much. Some of the fighting seemed almost contrived, but any part involving the Transcendent more than makes up for that. Sync was an excellent campaign as well; I just don't think it's as awesome as Transcend. That said- the part where Beta 4 (?) randomly decides to fly off while spouting cryptic things: "To run from death is to invite destruction." then promptly gets freaking beamed to dust (!!!). That is a Freespace moment I'll never forget.

Indeed. It's more memorable for me in that I got vaporized along with Beta 4 the first time I played.

Trancend, mostly for the point that A1 is a charicter.  Sync still left me screaming for a sequel though.

I was right next to him, so, though I didn't die, it was a major :eek: moment.

Me too. He wasn't moving, so I tried to take a peek inside his cockpit. You can imagine that beam scared the hell out of me.

Sorry, my bad

I clicked Vote assuming Transcend was the default option while drinking a glass of water.

You can imagine my :wtf: when I saw Sync bolded  :D

Not saying it isn't good, because it is, but it just made me feel like "Okay Dilmah, you've gotta' make it through, this isn't a game anymore. Find that transcendant, and for God's sake, TURN YOUR BLOODY SPEAKERS DOWN!"  :lol:

Did you get to see the cinematic between 'White Noise' and the final mission? Sometimes it doesn't play.

If it didn't, root around in your Transcend directory. It's well worth it.
