best video game you have ever played.
 

this question begs to be asked, although i'm sure this thread has been started many times in this forum. i must ask again... what are the best games you have ever played, on any console/pc?


here are mine:

final fantasy X (ps2)
a boy and his blob (nes)
diablo 2 (pc)
and of course the almighty gta3.

Super Mario Bros. 3
LoZ: Ocarina of Time

A tough one for sure!
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Silent Hill 3, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid 1, Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and the new Tomb Raider... damn what an odd selection... I'm sure I'm missing something vital...

Final Fantasy 6 (or 3 not in Japan)

just basing on hours played...and replayed...

halo (xbox)
vagrant story (ps)
amplitude (ps2)
metroid prime (gamecube)
master of orion (pc) - oldy

Final Fantasy 3 (6 if your japanese)
Enter The Matrix (PC)

and...just wondering...how the hell did you play silent hill 3 already?

Diablo 2 - Simply because it has something that other games lack.. something that keeps me hooked, even today.

Final Fantasy 8 - Alot of people hate this game, but I loved it. It had just the right balance of action, story, and gameplay for me. I could really connect emotionally with the characters, but I think thats true of nearly any FF game.

Ultima Online - Back in the day, when it first launched, this was something different for me. A multiplayer online world that keeps on changing after I log off. I guess I was more naive back then, because today I wouldn't touch MMORPGs with a 10-foot pole.

GTA3, for obvious reasons...not just the running around and shooting things part, but also because the characters were cool, the missions were kick ass, and the maps (cities) were amazing. Vice City pales in comarision

Gran Turismo 3, great series, the latest is a great game, the realism of the cars is awesome....i cant wait for the new one

however, without a doubt the BEST game ive ever played is Mafia...the graphics were great, the characters were cool, the storyline was amzing (especially the little movie at the end), and even the soundtrack was awesome. i love those old time 30's mob stories, and to make a game out of it like mafia was superb

Vice City, FF7, Star Control 2, X-Com

Final Fantasy 4 (our 2), Final Fantasy 6 (our 3), Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics, The original Legend of Zelda, Starcraft(pc), Vagrant Story, Marvel vs. Capcom 2(dreamcast), Metroid Prime, and on and on and on.

Sacrifice, because it wasn't just another remake of every other game on the market. There is only one other game on the market that i can think of that is anything like it and that's battlezone.

And when you get down to it the game is just pure beauty.

LoZ: Ocarina of Time and Link to the Past
Secret of Mana
Rainbow 6
Halflife

The first Tomb Raider
Vandal Hearts
Soul Caliber
Tenchu
Metroid

Castlevania 64
Daikatana

just kidding
lol

I was saying Enter the Matrix a few months ago, but then I got to the first driving level and sang a different song.

Final Fantasy 7 was perfect

SNES- The Secret of Mana
N64 - Ocarina of Time and Perfect Dark
XBOX - Halo

FF3/6
Starcraft
Diablo ONE!!!
Goldeneye
Super Smash
Soul Caliber

FF8 (I don't know why I seem to be the only person in the world who likes this game!!)

Warcraft II

Diablo I

Silent Hill II (Even though I never finished it I was floored by the graphics, sound, and over-all creepy greatness)

the complete zelda series
daiblo 2

A really tough one, especially if you pick from all categories and platforms.
After some though, in descending order:

Age of Kings (PC) - Strategy
Stare Craft (PC) - Strategy
Tribes 2 (PC) - Shooter
Diablo II – LoD (PC) – Multiplayer Action RPG
Fallout II (PC) - RPG
Age of Empires (PC) - Strategy

Ok, reach back in time.....

TELENGARD!

Anyone remember it? I loved this game, and it started a long history of addiction to role playing games. You can download it now as shareware. Although a little less complex than current hits, I still love it.

Dragon Quest

HURT MORE! Goo runs away.

Oh no, my bamboo stick doesn't hurt it enough, run away... ch ch ch ch ch.

Tecmo Bowl (NES)
Command & Conquer (PC)
Midtown Madness 3 (XBOX Live)
Empire/ Empire DELUXE (PC)

My Decision was based on the games that once I got them that is all that I would play. I can remember being in the US navy stationed on a ship and we had a techmo bowl league setup and would spend hours playing a full season and having a super bowl.
then jsut happened to pick up command and conquer in EB when it first came out and would start playing at 8pm then what seemed to be 1-2 hours later i would look at the clock and it would be 4 AM. and that is the same thing that happenes now when I play MM3 on Xbox Live. I bought solider of fourtune II the same day as i bought MM3 and have played SOFII for maybe an hour. the rest of the time I have only played MM3. it is a great game, then I remember playing Empire where the entire game would fit on a 5.25" floppy and you could mail the disk back and forth between players and play by mail.

in random order
0) Age of Empires (PC)
1) Orginal Mario Bros on the Atari 7800
2) Pole Position on the same platform
3) Gran Turismo on the PS (last console I have touched in the past 4 years)

Castlevania : Symphony of the Night (PS1)
River City Ransom (NES)
Bomberman '95 (PC-Engine)
King of Fighters '98 (Neo-Geo)

It's been out in New Zealand for about a month, same with Japan. I know it's odd too, it got me a little scared, I mean, a game that came out before it was due? That's unheard of!

Trust me, when it reaches the shelves of the states you MUST buy it, freakin' amazing.

Diablo 1
Diablo 2
Counter Strike

Planescape: Torment
Fallout I
Fallout II
Final Fantasy VII
Ultima VII
Ultima Underworld II
Zelda I

But the best? Planescape: Torment. No question.

Another vote for Age of Empires. New games distract me for a while, but I keep going back to AOE to play online.

Commodore 64's "BC's Quest For Tires."
Rockin' good time

HALO
Madden and NCAA Football

Well, for sheer artistry and greatness of gaming, Gotta go with Deus Ex or Civilization II, the latter of which is still the most addictive game I've ever played. Of older games, I have yet to play a better space fighter game than Tie Fighter, though Freespace did enter the ballpark. Finally, never, ever forget the one that started this fps thing, Wolf3d.

oh man i cant believe i forgot Secret of Mana.

What system is Silent Hill 3 gonna be out for?

I liked Ninja Gaiden for the NES, that was a really good game. NCAA Football is my favorite game, though, but Ninja Gaiden is definitely the best I've every played. It was just so fun.

Diablo 2
GTA Vice City
Metal Gear Solid

and my all time favorite: Halo, hands down. I never get tired of that game, and I'm pretty damn good at it, so I love it.

I've got it on the PS2 but they said they'll be releasing a PC version which is said to be "not the average run of the mill port" and that there will be substantial reasons for you to want to buy both versions.

Umm for PC

Going for Single player only

Half-life
GTA3
Dues Ex
Max Payne ( w/ kungfoo mod is even cooler )
Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos/ almost finished w/ frozen throne exp.
Halo
Mario Bro Series
Zelda on SNES

Going for Multi player

Wc3 ROC/TFT
CS
Quake 1 Mega Team Fortress
Battlefield Desert Combat Mod

Totally opinion so you might not agree, but you've gotta admit all of those are good games.
