Best Game Ever.

[TheGreatMonkey]

Alright everybody, whats the best game ever (yes tag counts).

For me right now. It's Morrowind, so far I've dreamed about it every night. Stupid CLiff Racers wont leave me alone even when I'm sleepig!!!!:D

[Manu]

How ya describe best?

So hard...

Most timeless? Most captivating? One I have fondest memories of?

In no order...

Kings Quest III
Max Payne
Below the Root

[ChaoticThoughts]

Morrowind....
Um, its the only one I can think of right now.

[TheGreatMonkey]

Each person has they're own discription of "The Best Game Ever". espacialy since I'm not limiting this to video games. Hell I'm sure that from one day to the next some of our choices will change.

[Shogun]

Contra all the way. That game is too good. I also like Madden '95 and Gameday '98.>_< And who can forget Metroid!


I like those the best. I like team game a lot.

Manu- I have never heard of those games before. What consoles were those on?

[AverageJoe]

im not sure if its the best of all time, but bionic commando for the NES was pretty awesome and it usually doesnt get the praise that it should. i think it all comes down to the contemporary technological capabilities, so there is no "one best game." like quake I was a big deal when it came out, but now if you go back and look at it it doesnt seem like anything special. and today everyone gets caught up with the hype of fancy graphics that more often than not the games just flat suck. just take a look at all the lame 1st person shooters out there that are just ripoffs of each other. i thought zelda: ocarina of time for the N64 was pretty awesome plot and graphic-wise for its day.

[DJ NoDoz]

sheesh i thougt for sure shogun would say Tekken!!!

SOCOM
Quake Arena
reversi
and

Hide the Salami:D

[Scott]

Doom



the board game Axis and Allies

Chess..(i used to teach chess as a job)

Magic: The Gathering

Day of defeat the halflife mod


Final Fantasy 2 (US)

[Manu]

Nodoz-

All PC baby! Mostly older games.

But you're damn right on Contra. Will (SmilingJack) and I used to play that ALL the time when we were growing up.

[Unrepresented]

Peak of video game designing came with the release of Super Mario Bros. 3.

Stuck with 2D but ripe with secrets, playability for multiple age groups, appeal to a broad audience. Familiar controls but more options.

Best. Game. Ever.

Justin

[jonnyofthedead]

Civilisation II or III.

The most replayable games ever, bar none.

[Crunchy]

What about Pocket Pool!?!? LOL

Best Game Ever would have to be (I can't believe some of you haven't said this yet)

Duke Nukem 3D

Graphics weren't the greatest, but the gameplay was the best.

You barely got SOCOM!! well I do like Tekken and hope to get big things for it too. But I don't see anything beating Contra.

[Gomtuu_1]

I'm a VERY biased toward the RTS style games. My favorites are:

5)Master of Orion
4)Warcraft III
3)Age of Empires
2)Age of Empires II
1)Empire Earth

For me the best is definatly delta Force but only the multiplayer side of it. There are a lot of things to dislike about it but the good sides to it definatly outweigh the bad . Plus the friends you make playing usually turn out to be pretty cool people to chat with

Hey not bad. Delta is a definate. I wonder how I forgot that one?

Cool pic man.

[Shelter]

thank you. Speaking of that anyone here try out the new black hawk down game novalogic put out in the delta force series? seems to be prety cool.

Doom.. because it started the FPS genre


my fav I play now is Half Life and all it's mods (CS, TFC, DOD, Firearms etc)

[Hz915]

CS
Perfect Dark
i'd put money on GTA Vice..got it today, i'll tell you in a week

[Redfield]

Perfect Dark (Totally!)
And Contra.

[Hz915]

And yes, Vice City, you cannot beat popping a wheeling on a chopper while doing a drive by on a hooker, you just can't.

[Akulakhan]

i think morrowind is the best, because its a big game and challenging, and you cant just beat the game and say "wow im never gonna play this again"

[DngrMse]

Ah what a bunch of weenies!

I have one word for all of you: PONG.

[Hz915]

lol, Pong

[TheGreatMonkey]

Yeah pong rules!!! :)

[DJ NoDoz]

Just last week. Saturday to be exact, my wifey got me a neat little gizmo from Avon. It was an old Atari joystick that hooks up to the tv and plays ten old Atari 2600 games, Centipede, Missle Command, Gravitar, Asteroids, Pong, Breakout, Circus Atari, Adventure, Real Sports Volleyball, and Yars Revenge. Kewl stuff.

[Brian]

Well, along the linse of Mario 2 or 3, which were not bad, I have to go with Sonic the Hedgehog.

There was a game that came along LATE in the Sega Genesis lifecylce called Gunstar Heroes. The first use of multiple sprite bosses as well as tricks to make the old Genny display more than the 64 colors it was capable of. It was a killer game.

Silpheed for the Sega CD was awsome in many ways. FMV cinema shots, awsome sound track and great special effects. Only problem was the gameplay SUCKED.

But, I am rambling now. I'll shut up.

[Hz915]

I'd like to retract my vote for CS (little punks).

[BenThereDunThat]

I may be dating myself with some of these, but these are the games I "couldn't put down."

Console
Legend of Zelda - on an original Nintendo
Contra
Metroid
Halo


PC
Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe
Diablo
Diablo II
Age of Empires
Age of Empires II

[DJ NoDoz]

Awww yeah baybee Resident Evil Series:D:D:D

GTA Vice is awesome, it didn't leave my PS2 for about 2 weeks after I bought it... NBA Live 2003 (the freestyle control is simply amazing)... and for my fav old school games, who can forget Tecmo Bowl and Mike Tyson's Punch Out?

Squalo: as far as consoles go, GTA is a PS2 exclusive, through 2005 I believe. The only other platform the GTA series is available on now is the PC.

[Gen.Snafu]

Chess
Half-life(I had nightmares of Braincrabs)
Deus-Ex
Day of Defeat
Soldier of Fortune 1 & 2(2 has the best killing graphics of alltime:Ghoul2)

[Shelter]

Hey man Soldier of Fortune is a kick A$$ game I agree. Lots of fun to play.

[fear factory]

Soldier of fortune 2 or GTA3.
They get my vote :cool:

Dude Deus-Ex rules....the sad thing is I didn't hear about it untill I got a free copy of it with my sound card...oh well, I can't wait for Deus-Ex 2 to come out.

[PFDarkside]

The Legend of Zelda rules! :)
For some reason I love Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid.
(I just picked up a PS2, so...)

[themistocles]

There was a flight sim game in the early 90s called "Aces of the Pacific". Extremely realistic yet really fun--a Zero only took a few shots to take down, but if you flew one, they'd turn on a dime, etc. etc. And you didn't need to learn all the bullshoy that's required of today's rather stupid flight sims.

http://www.the-underdogs.org/games/a/acespacific/acespacific.jpg

I don't think a day goes by and I don't at least play five minutes of "Championship Manager".

http://gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2003/news/01/17/cm4_box.jpg

And, on the old 8-bit Nintendo, "Super Dodge Ball".

http://image.allmusic.com/00/agg/screen250/drs300/s339/s33968znjav.jpg

Three pretty timeless games.

[Spießer]

Super Mario Bothers!

[CaptainKurt]

Over all, No game and it's modifacations I think can compare with Half-Life... People have been playing it Straight since 1998...

I used to Play the Hell out of the Grand Turismo's
You can't go Wrong with GTA:3 or GTA:VC

Heh heh heh, when I first got into next gen gaming i purchased an Atari Jaguar, just so I could play Aliens vs. the Predator, later that same night (after a 3 hour marathon of gameplay) my wife had to wake me up from a terrible nightmare of being attacked by an Alien!! I even had my hands and arms covering my face flailing about!!:D

Yeah I can relate bro!!!

[TheGreatMonkey]

Game induced dream/ightmares...yeah I've been there...hmm new thread Idea...yay.

[Diavolo]

Ultima Online
Dr. Mario
Tekken 3
The Sims - House Party
GTA 3

And there's this awesome PS game, something Blade, say you whack someone's left arm with a sword... that arm actually becomes useless :)

[RightWingZealot]

Oh GOD I was SOOO addicted to Ultima online for a couple years.
played on the Great Lakes server.

I cant believe I put so much time into that game.

[Emortio]

i thoroughly enjoyed halo, and morrowind *even though i'm not done with morrowind yet, heck almost no one is ;) *

[PFDarkside]

Same here. It was an amazing game, but it was much too detailed, so it kind of sucked you inand you stopped living properly. :( I was on Catskills.

One night I decided to max out my stats and GM all my skills... I was in front of the computer for over a day, without leaving the desk at all. And then I decided to kill a dragon without magic or armour, that took a long time :)

'Zounds! T'was a medieval nightmare!




PFDarkside - YES! It was Bushido Blade! Man, I loved that game! :D They don't make it anymore. :(

[RightWingZealot]

yeah UO was nuts.

I would commute into the city two hours.. work 8 hours.. then commute back hom3 2 hours
only to spend the rest of the night chopping wood to make bows and arrows for my guild mates. dont ask me how it happened but my character made bows that were INCREDIBLY powerful. I think it was some sort of bug. People were constatly having me make crossbows for them.
Anyway.. i would do that.. then go hunting around for regs all night.. and then as I was about to enter a dungeons to actualy have some fun 10 PK'ers would jump out and kill me and my two buddies before we even knew what happened and they'd take all our stuff.

I cant believe i played that game so long.

[Hz915]

I was sitting around the campfire the other night (drunk) and thought a game, two games. I can't remember one name though.

They were both on Apple IIE, atleast thats where i played them.

One was Oregon

And the other was 'Moon Patrol' or something. You were driving this tank thing, it shot up and forward at the same time. You jumped holes and shot rocks and spaceships. Anyone know?

[Wooden Sp00n]

was it master blaster?

[CatDancer]

In my book, it's got to be Balder's Gate - loved all of them!

[Joe]

Halo : playing with 16 poeple...

I for one will be one of the first people in line to get it!!!!!

I love all the delta force games!!!!!!

[theotherguy]

Greatest PC game of all time:

Commander Keen.

[CptTrips]

HALFLIFE and it's mod's, without a doubt....

Undoubtedly still the best FPS ever made, it's the most commonly played online game, even though it's almost 5 years old....

[theotherguy]

Commander Keen was a first person shooter! Sort of!

...Okay so it was a platform game, but it rocked!

Damnit, you kids today with your modern, high powered doo-dads...

[mike75]

my best game ever was "Blades of Steel" for nintendo. Also Mercs was a very good game too.

[Beldane]

Yeah Morrowind all the way!! I played that game for so long that I actually began hearing noises or the cries of monsters from it. I wa sitting in class one day and I heard a cliff racer, whoa! I scared the hell outta' me!

[Beldane]

Although, I played it for so long that I finished almost everything. Plus, I somehow lost Keening and I couldn't find it so I can't finish the main quest. I'm going to wait awhile to play again, because i hate to do stuff over.

[Smashing Young Man]

Tennis. I used to love playing tennis. I've spent many an hour out on the clay.

As far as non-physical games go, I'd have to say some of the best times I ever had were playing pen and paper D&D back in the day. Dorky? Yes. Fun? Hell yes.

Video gamewise, I'd have to say Ultima Online back when it was first released. No game since - including UO itself - has so well captured the feeling of a true virtual world.

And single player video games? Twisted Metal 2 for the original Playstation. As far as pure fun goes, it couldn't be beat. Though Silent Hill was really an excellent game. It honest to goodness scared the piss outta me and damn near gave me nightmares. The very definition of hell would be being trapped in that town.

Ok, I'll stop typing now...

[mencc1701]

Tough question... I'd include any of the following:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Goldeneye
Space Quest series
Civilization
SimCity
Metroid: Prime

[Talbain]

Final Fantasy VII....might not have the best graphics today but at one point it had the best and the games storyline is perfect.

[themistocles]

Video game?

Super Dodge Ball, 8-bit Nintendo, or arcade.

[MedievalinNY]

I could'nt name just one.

Tomb Raider
Resident Evil
The Sims
Tetris

my best game ever GTA3

[cellularsociety]

There was this game I used to have on a 32-bit Acorn (!!) called Hmasters - where you were an alien hamster sent - with a hammer twice your size - to kill every living thing on the planet. Best game I ever played.

Also, anyone here a fan of Elastomania? I love that game - especially the create your own bit.

More modern games:

PC - starcraft (+Broodwar expansion pack)
Console - Any of the Gran Tourismos or GTA: VC

Oh yeah, and to whoever said it - I love Bushido blade!

It would have to be Thief or Tomb Raider.

[Ciapra]

Entire Final Fantasy series, hands down.

[gutwrench98]

Civilization 3-plw

[Al Buterol]

Two of my favorites for PC are Heretic ii, and Sanitarium.
I really enjoy the complete mobility of the character in Heretic ii, made available through the use of a mouse-look placed within the game engine.
As far as Sanitarium, what can I say.
A game where you wake up in an asylum with your head bandaged, and through the three cd roms you try and figure out who you are and how you got there while drifting in and out of drug-induced periods of hallucinations.
What fun!
Great graphics.

Holy cow! That sounds like an awesome game! :eek:

[ALIAS]

There are 6 console games that I spent a great deal of my childhood, and my more recent free time, playing:

HALO (Mmm...system link, multiplayer!) Super Mario Kart
Street Fighter II
Super Mario 3
Super Techmo Bowl
Contra

[PoliticalGoddess]

hmm for me there is no one game that is the best and it's really broken down into categories.
best nintendo games were like zelda, mario bros, donkey kong, paper boy, mickey mouse, ghostbusters, contra, mega man, bubble bobble, kid icarus,
best snes games- mario bros 3, hmm i know there are way more but would have to get back to you on it
best sega for me was sonic
best n64 was zelda, mario, banjo and kazooie, smash bros, mario party
best dream cast was soul caliber
best ps2 so far is ffx, kingdom hearts, vice city, etc
the best cube is mario, and i havent played many others

man and thats just console games!
computer wise i liked, ugh, so many- kings quest, shivers, seventh guest, duke nukem, myst, warcraft/starcraft, i sold my soul to eq for a year, diablo 2, vampires masquerade, umm and i can't remember anymore right now :D

[Smashing Young Man]

WipeoutXL and Twisted Metal 2 for the original Playstation. I have very fond memories of those two games. Oh, and Tekken 2 as well.

Ultima Online was a great game before the PvP whiners ruined it. To this day, no game has come as close to creating a true virtual community.

Deus Ex for the PC was great.

[Tchort]

1)Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
a.) tied with Legend Of Zelda: Majoras Mask

2)GTA III
a.) tied with GTA Vice City (If you do everything in Vice City its over 100 hours of gameplay easy)

3) Counter-Strike (Jesus tap dancing Christ I wish I could end my addiction to it)

4)Age of Empires II

5) Baldurs Gate
a.) tied with Baldurs Gate II

If we look back a little ways, we'll see Super Mario 64, THE MOST revolutionary game of all time, who could forget that? Plus, if you sat there, he would sleep! Yaaay, but also, for the PS, anyone heard of Jade Cocoon? Sorta like pokemon, but a little different cuz YOU can fight too. Driver was a kickass game, flyin down streets gettin chased by psycho cops. A more recent game, Metal Arms: Glitch in the Sytem, is a cross-breed between Ratchet and Clank (great PS2 game) and Halo (awesome FPS). It's really funny, give it a shot, available for the next gen systems, and they NEED to make it for PC, need 16 people to play THAT. Ocarina of Time, rediscovered by me, another classic! The Super Smash Bros. and it's sequel were the only fighting games of their classes, and they both were actually kind of funny. Imagine, Nintendo's classic characters, beating the s*** out of eachother!:P

Over and OUT!

Everyone Had Some Great Choices, But I Didnt Hear Jamesbond Golden Eye A.k.a. 007. It May Not Be The Best Of All Time But It Is By Far The Best Game Of Its Times

[UGTUNIT]

Everyone Had Some Great Choices, But I Didnt Hear Jamesbond Golden Eye A.k.a. 007. It May Not Be The Best Of All Time But It Is By Far The Best Game Of Its Times, SO MAYBE THE BEST OF ALL TIME, HALO 2

[benos]

[SasquatchBeak]

Some of my all time favorites: Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy VII, Starsiege Tribes.

[I don't know]

I just find the fact that almost all of the "best game ever" responses have been video games to be a sad, sad thing :nonono:- True, Junta is definitely the best boardgame around, just so people know :D

[Von Apfelstrudel]

Umm weren't you just in the WoW thread calling us names and yet you're a gamer too.

Congratulations on being a hypocrite :nice:

[Mister E.]

I had the most fun playing Hero's Quest 1 (later renamed Quest for Glory) and Final Fantasy 2 (US) as a kid.

[Slinky_Bass]

Vintage PC really are awesome, and it's not just nostalgia talking. You play any of the old games recently?

[Mister E.]

Not really. I haven't been able to really get into games since I stopped playing EverQuest several years ago. I tried playing Oblivion, but I found it boring...

[I don't know]

Just started playing StarCraft again - haven't played much multiplayer with it before, but now that I have... it deserves a nomination here at the very least!

[spitsock777]

Umm weren't you just in the WoW thread calling us names and yet you're a gamer too.

Congratulations on being a hypocrite :nice:


I've seen people on Wow.. They get WAY to obsessed, way to fast. Maybe not everyone's like that, but alot of people are. Anyway, because someone plays videogames, but thinks people who are obsessive about video games are nerds, does not make them a hypocrite.



Congratulations on being stupid :nice:

[I don't know]

Spits; be civilized or we'll wash your mouth out with soap!


I played WoW for ten days and one month (the ten days you can get for free from a friend and the month you get with the game) - I have no idea how people get so obsessed over it, but I think it's the kind of thing that's not fun unless you play it all the time. It's an unhealthy game, I think.

I loved the graphics, though.

[spitsock777]

I wanted to play it at one point in my life- and I got nothing against people who do- but I think people who are too abbsessd over it need to kill their computer. The people at school who play it literaly never talk about anything eles. NOTHING.

[I don't know]

I completely agree, they should be out climbing trees with the rest of us.

Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I climbed myself a tree - I should look in to it.

[Disembodied Freak]

People aren't nerds or anything just because they play a game :/

I'm gonna say the best video game would be The Legend of Zelda twilight princess for the wii.

[Spitfire]

CS 1.5 anyone... anyone??

And then when you move away from the retro trend thats going on here...

The Call of Duty 4 beta was a thing to behold...

*Puts up arms to shield from flames*

[Demilich]

Best Game Ever = Banjo Kazooie.


(and FF7)

How ya describe best?

So hard...

Most timeless? Most captivating? One I have fondest memories of?

In no order...

Kings Quest III
Max Payne
Below the Root

Kings Quest III!!! I haven't thought about those games in years!!

Remind me, is Kings Quest 3 the one where you start in that Wizard blokes house. He keeps teleporting in and telling you to feed his chickens etc.
I'd say Kings Quest VI was the best from that series!

As for my favourite game of all time, it's got to be Bioshock.
Oblivion being a close second, and probably Civilization IV taking third!

[diabeticdude123]

GTA Vice City rules all.

I love all GTA's (GTA Vice City and all the GTA games after that)
I don't really like GTA III
But my fave games are:
GTA IV
GTA San Andreas
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
:nice::nice::nice::nice::nice::nice:

[NumB]

COD...FTW for sure :)

[Alyssaphanboi]

Fallout 3.

Soon Star Trek: Online may give it a run for its money though!

[Dr_EluSivE]

I have a new favorite.. Uncharted 2 is absolutely Fantastic, best graphics i have seen in a game. Great voice acting, good story, awesome action, and killer multiplayer.

Highly recommended.

Dr.

[Slinky_Bass]

Recently played through some of my all time old school favourites, Ultima VIII: Pagan, Quest for Glory 1 -> 3 and Day of the Tentacle. I love the level of thought and humour that went into the puzzles and plot. They just don't seem to make them like that anymore :/

That said, I can still enjoy the odd hack 'n slash or RPG. Looking forward to Darksiders and Fable 3 especially.

[Emerald Stardust]

Pong. Definitely Pong.

[Slinky_Bass]

Ah, Pong, right up there with the Make my Video series.

[ScarH]

I tell you what isn't the best game, the new MOH :not:

lol....I wondered what you thought about it. I'm liking it so far. Much better then MW2

[TopsyTurvy]

The 'Withnail and I' drinking game.

The rules for the Withnail and I drinking game are very simple… just match Withnail drink-for-drink in the movie. Last one still conscious wins.

Withnail drinks in the order of 9 1/2 glasses of red wine, 1 pint of cider, 1 shot of lighter fluid (substituted with rum), 2 1/2 shots of gin, 6 glasses of sherry, 13 whiskeys and 1/2 a pint of ale throught the film.

[SivVulk]

the Civilization series is the best game ever imho.

here are some other notable candidates:

C64

Just Imagine
Marble Madness
Pit Stop

Amiga

Defender of the Crown
Sensible Soccer
Lupo Alberto
Return of the Jedi
Turrican
Robocop
Lure of the Temptress
Ski or Die
Syndicate Wars
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?


PC


EA Sports NHL
Ea Sports FIFA

[SivVulk]

not a great game... but heck was it addictive:

tLpsoLpESBw

as was this:

lOt5RgOXj_g&feature=related

[Jeremiah]

Battlefield, bad company 2!!!
totally awesome

[ScarH]

Battlefield, bad company 2!!!
totally awesome

I agree. If you like that, you may also like the new Medal of Honor.

[Jeremiah]

I thought the new MOH was a bit disappointing, judging from the reviews? Maybe i buy it on sale in a couple of months though.

[Dude111]

BEST GAME EVER: Ms. Pacman!!

[TopsyTurvy]

Curveball (http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/games/curveball)

[TheEldestPolkeSon]

I for one have to say, imo, that the Civilization series of turn based strategy games are by far the most interesting and challenging games I have had the pleasure of playing, for RPGs, Baldur's Gate, for FPS, Counter Strike: Source as it has by far the most customizable game content editor available for any fps.

[Papissama]

If you feel like putting your 2 cents in, here's new project where each gamer make his/her top 25 favorite games of all time (1st=25pts, 2nd=24pts, ..., 25th=1pt), and those results are compiled together in real-time to decide the world's favorite games.

Here are the current results (http://www.unikgamer.com/tops/greatest-video-games-of-all-time-1.html) that involves 981 gamers so far.

Other top-lists are also available (by years, decades, genres, systems and even a Top 10 most wanted) for you to mess around with.

Post the link of your Top games and feel free to discuss your choices!
It's a really fun concept, especially if you're a longtime gamer (and bored :D).

[garyd]

Great games and FPS are an oxy moron. All time favorite games for computer and game system, Are any and all CIV's (the only one I don't have is the original.

Europa Univerasalis III, Making History, ADOM still available free on line, Genghiz Khan, The old nintendo conquer the world game.

[daszek999]

Counter Strike 1.6 Steam. Never gets old.

[sytico]

The best game ever for me is Devil May Cry: Dante's Awkening. I would spend hours playing that over and over again.

[gsouthee]

I think it Command & Conquer and can replay again and again without getting bored. Most worst game ever would be Haunted House!!!

[johnymac001]

Fighter Patrol 42
Description:
P51 Mustang and Supermarine Spitfire fighter planes are the main flying planes during the World War 2. Now you can play with the plane and shoot down your enemies.

[talkingman]

I've enjoyed a lot but I guess here are my top 3

Mass Effect 1 and 2 (Can't wait for 3)
Neverwinter Nights 1
Dragon Age : Origins

As you can see, I like a game with a great story.

Starcraft 2 is fun as well, but it gets boring as time passes. It's the same build over and over again.

[Farnsworth,Luther P.]

I like CIV III, but don't have time to play it much.

I also like Red Baron II, especially with the mods put out by some individuals, who added better terrain and plane graphics and more 'realistic' engine mods and ammo factors, and of of course historically accurate planes. Great stuff.

I also like MS's Age of Empires, the Age of Kings, and the Conquerers additions. Some of the 'campaigns' are good.

'Vega$' is also enjoyable for me, I like some of the economic and business games, personally, though they're boring to most people. 'Industry Giant II', 'Free Enterprise', and last, but not least, the 'Railroad Tycoon' games by Sid Meirs, and the old 'A Train', put out by a Japanese game company a long time ago.

There are some free games on the music business and newspaper business I've downloaded, but haven't got around to playing yet, that look good business sims, though lacking graphics and the usual bells and whistles.

Me and some friends of mine are playing around with creating an Election game, one that covers local elections on up to national level offices, but we aren't very diligent about it, and may just make it a paper and pencil game, maybe sell it to Steve Jackson or something for pocket change. Political sims don't sell well.

[johnnytran]

Football Manager series, the best job in da world ._.

[Farnsworth,Luther P.]

Haven't tried the sports games yet. Some look interesting.

[Going Postal]

Elder Scrolls: Skyrim has wrapped it's teeth around me and shaking furiously. Fucking amazing! If you like fantasy, rpg in an open sandbox world, run, don't walk to your nearest game store and get this EPIC gem.

Anybody else Skyrimming?

[Notalibtard]

My son got it last weekend and completley absorbed with it.

[Archaix]

Skyrim is the best game to come out in years, and probably will be until they bring out the next one.

[LivingDefiance]

Skyrim is good.

I'm going with MW3 for story, though!

[smethsami]

According to me the best game ever are: God of War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Battlefield 2, Project IGI 2, Prince of Persia, Dirt 2, Dragon Age 2, World Series of Poker Hold’em Legend and Shields of Gemland.

[panashmarshel]

These are the best games for ever.
Portal
Grand Theft Auto IV
Chrono Trigger
Tetris
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Dogfight 1
Super Mario
Vice city
Project IGI
Call of duty

[coolfun]

Age of Empires DUH

[Mrmint]

League of legends. As good as it is just make sure to be pissed off

[4West]

Best game ever is hands down Final Fantasy 7 for me. Next is a toss up between age of empires and portal. Elder scrolls Morrowind doesn't hold much to skyrim but I think it is on par for it's time.

[Jackel]

What the heck do you think?Super Mario Bros. is the best game ever!

[DaleDWynn]

FPS: Quake 1, from ID Software (released 1996)
Flight: Commance 3, from Novalogic (released 1997)

[Parsimon]

There are so many great games. Choosing just one would be a disservice to all the others.

[annie800]

I like all the Mario games.

[arow900]

Battlefield# is the best shooter yet. Beats SOCOM

[brow900]

My best game....Scrabble. Played it with my kid from 5th grade all through to Sr. year.

Good way to sneakingly teach a kid

I have NEVER played a video game....except Pong

TECNO PHOBE ALERT

[niepokonany]

Gothic 3
Many hours i played this game, many good nights killing evil creatures...so epic

[NoEarthlyReason]

I like a lot of the innovative indie games that are coming out these day (which may or may not be "retro"). Not least because of their cost. I just picked up Darwinia and Multiwinia on Steam and they look really interesting. Bigger budget games I enjoy include Bioshock, Civilization IV, Portal and Call of Duty II (I don't exactly have the most powerful computer so most of the current crop are off-limits). On the iPad I recently bought Shardlands, which is nice, relaxing fun, and I have Cut The Rope, Shark Dash, Geared 1 and 2, Pinch 2 HD, Tangle Master and Whale Trail – all really good cheap or free titles. I'd love to get the new F1 game with a steering wheel and seat, but that will have to wait until a future Mac upgrade. And, of course, I love and am fascinated by chess, card games, quizzes and traditional games of all sorts.

But my favourite game of all time? Probably Rainbow Islands on the Commodore Amiga, back in the 1990s.

[brow900]

Civilization and call of duty are both heavily played by the males in this house, too .

[Thurston]

It's obvious to anyone who isn't a deckchair peddler that World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck is the best game ever.
