Call of Duty 4 NO DOUBT !
It was so incrediably real it was unreal. ;D

I played it once on the xbox (at a friends house) and now I crave it everyday, which stinks because I don't have it.  It was by far the best video game I have ever seen or heard of in all aspects, and is so addictive.

Marathon 2: Durandal

2nd place: Dark Castle

Bonus points: A Taito version of Space Invaders on a table version with a one-dimensional joystick -- man I could play that thing for hours on a quarter.

I would have to say Zelda on the N64 also because of the wow factor at the size of the map and the fact you had ur own horse
Id say Rockstar pretty much nailed it on the head when they turned their most famous creation into 3D, i remember walking out my garage/apartment for the first time, was priceless:D

Edit: Just remembered you can fish in Zelda as well, now that was cool! i used to be in there for hours just trying to catch the biggest fish, anyone else try that? im deffo gonna need to dig out my N64

Half Life 1
X-wing / Tie Fighter (The original Lucasarts ones)
Final Fantasy 7
Katamari Damacy

Those are a few that jump to mind. I can't really say which one is 'best', because they are all so different... It's like asking what's the best food? Sometimes I want pizza, sometimes I want curry, sometimes I want sushi!

TES4: Oblivion is my overall favorite so far in my gaming career. Halo1/CE for PC would have to be 2nd; with a number of games I've played being in third because I don't think they deserve any less than third considering how much fun they were. (Half Life series including Portal, Starcraft, WC3 and others.) Theres some major games out there I havent really played though so I may yet come across something I like more.

It's a close call for some other games for PC, but I'd have to go with the Diablo Series. I have been playing it for a long time now. Diablo I, was actually was the first game that I ever played on PC. Both of the games are awesome and I'm still hoping for a third.

Perhaps a little off topic and a little wordy but...

Pong

When I was a kid (we're going back a ways here) my parents bought the family a dedicated console that would run a couple of variations of pong. Thinking back on it now, the thing had to have been based on analog technology. I simply loved that game. Can you say "burn in"?

Star Trek

Not the video game; the computer game. I first played it on a teletype terminal in the computer lab at a local college in '75. Game play unfolded on paper. You could save and restore your game from 8-track paper tape punched at the console. It was one of those life changing moments. I suddenly knew that what I wanted to do was play and learn how to write computer games. I've been in the software biz ever since. I never did get around to writing computer games, but I'm having fun anyways.

A close second, in this category, is Adventure with its "maze of twisty little passages". I stumbled on that one on my first UNIX computer. By this time I was employed. I'd play Adventure at lunch, after work, and sometimes furtively while working. My desk was full of state diagrams, created to map out the underworld and discover its secrets.

Flight Simulator

Not the Microsoft game; we're talking about a late ‘80s Silicon Graphics (SGI) UNIX workstation with a dedicated graphics engine. Revolutionary for its time. Ultra smooth 3D graphics rendering; network based game play (but we only had the one machine :'(); additive record and playback. Wow! This game opened my eyes to the possibility of using software to simulate real world processes.

Halo for PC

I'm a Halo addict now. Nothing beats a human adversary. My wife looks over my shoulder and says "you're still stuck on that road?". My first thought is no and its not a road, but well yes I suppose I am, in the same way people who play chess are stuck on the same board. It might be the same map, but the human element makes it different and exciting. This is my first experience with mutli-player games since Pong, and I've got to say, I simply love this game.

Good racing,

Boot.

Not atall.  :)

Sonic The Hedghog (series)

As a kid it was either this or Mario being the centerfold for gaming. And i so happened to prefer the lil blue spikeball. It came down to game physics too as it always does.

Resident Evil

Yes, over 10 years ago was i playing this on my own at midnight in the dark...

DOOM

Set the ball rolling for 1st person Shooters. I still play it today. IDKFA.  ;D

Quake III Arena

Physics rule and is great exercise to play before playing Halo in the evenings.

Alien Trilogy

Another game i was addicted to. If anyone else played it much on the PlayStation, youll remember 1GOTP1NK8CIDBOOTSON.  ;D

Magestorm
Quote
Imagine the standard multi-user LAN shoot 'em up. Got it? Good. Now add 36 more simultaneous players per match (for up to 50 total), character persistence, and character development. That's right - your characters in Magestorm grow in power and prestige the more you play them. Oh yeah, also add High Color 3D graphics, for a visually stunning 65,000 colors and four completely different character classes, all with their own unique spells. Now you're starting to realize what  Magestorm  is all about.

Created by Mythic Entertainment ,  Magestorm is a game of magical combat based on spell-casting rules and spells.  Mages may choose from four different magical spell-casting classes and dozens of spells. Magestorm supports up to fifty players in a match with an unlimited number of matches running at once. Mages grow in strength and ability with each successful match, in accordance with the rules set.

Change all the *Is*s into *was*s as the game is no longer available. RIP Magestorm.

I can personally guarentee that you won't be disapointed in trying that game.
The mistake I made was playing it once, and now I'm addicted but I can't get my fix becuz I don't have a gaming system (besides my PC of course).

Why is everyone just foaming at the mouth about how amazing that game is? It always looked like a fairly generic shooter to me.

Several categories for me, too:

Classic: Tetris
Fun, but... IT NEVER ENDS! GAH!  ;)

Arcade (OLD!): Atlantis (pinball) [I used to MAKE MONEY offa this game!] & Fireball (pinball), [ya, ya, those aren't "video games!", so...] Centipede (video)

Brain-buster w/ beautifal graphics and audio: The Myst series
('Played 'em all!)

Best visual/action: Descent (2) (w/ 3-D goggles!)
Will actually make you THROW UP!  :liljawdrop:

Fav' LAN game with family & friends: DooM II
Yep! STILL playing it!

Best RPG: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Skyrim
Stunning graphics; lots of play time; Endless action; loooong duration advancement system; LOTs of GREAT/COOL add-ons! Note: Thought I'd hate that it was not MP, but... I don't!]

Best MMOSG: Time of Defiance Closed down in 2010  :'(
[I'm NOT going to post a link here, cuzza this game is addictive!] Let's just put it this way: I know better than to subscribe to this game, cuz if I did I'd've died of sleep deprivation by now!  I've done their trial deal four times, and all four times stayed up 4-5 DAYS straight playing it....

The first time I remember becoming addicted to a game was after trying out Metal Gear Solid (which was voted best game for PS1) for the first time; Such a great storyline with loads of action. I've been hooked to the MGS games since, and I'm now looking forward to the fourth one coming out on PS3 :winkgrin:

I liked this game a LOT, but unfortunately... I did all the stealth assassin storyline missions first (forget what they were actually called...) They were so fun! But after I finished them... the rest of the game was kind of a let down in comparison...  Just seemed repetitive... gorgeous, but repetitive. :'(

I'd have to say currently my fav is Crysis...unbelievable graphics if you card can handle it, and it is NOT a short game. Call of Duty 4 is a close second only because of the length of the game, however, that series has always gone way above any other on attention to detail. I think for ground breaking it would have to be Doom (the original)...I spent all night downloading the 10mb demo at 1400bps and was blown away at the 1 level demo.

OK, so this is how I see it:

Most played other than Halo: NFS: Most Wanted.  Why? Where else can you get a Chevy Cobalt SS to hit 300 kph???

Second: Guild Wars, Specifically the Nightfall Expansion.  Why? Unlike WOW its freee and has MUCH better graphics.

After that throw Alpha Prime.  Bought on Direct 2 Drive for $14, thought I would be somewhat amused for a few moments, ended up staying awake a whole weekend to beat the game. Loved it.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.  WHAT A RIDE. Thats all I can say.  And Ive read the CoC books and most of the mythos.

I had some trouble compiling the list because I don't play most of these games, so I wasn't sure of some of the acronyms. Wasn't a scientific survey anyway. Just a count of game mentions, stuffed into an Excel chart and sorted. Gave me something to do on a Saturday morning before the rest of the house woke up.

Good racing, and gaming,

In a different area of the forums I have posted my take. But, looking at the replies one hits me as very true. Half Life 1 is the game that defined fps. Huge game, with no load screens. The game had many twists and turns, and many times you thought you was either at the end of close to it, and found that neither was the case. Both explansions tied neatly into the original game. The half life 1 game is presently being re-done by a dedicated group to bring the graphics and voice up to today's standard. Here is the link to their site to keep abreast on what is happening with them.

I would probably have to say 007: Nightfire for PC in early 2001. I practically grew up on that game.

Not so much fun now... but that game has lots of memories for me.

Another great series came to mind as I thought about all the games that I have played over the years - actually 2 series - the first was Descent 1, 2, 3, Descent Freespace 1 and Freespace 2. By the way Freespace 2 is a free download as it has been moved into the public domain. Then there is the continuing series of Command and Conquer. Especially the original series produced by Westwood, which again like Origin is no longer around. Both very successful houses were killed by EA :'(.
Descent was the first of the real 3D games with 360 degrees of movement, which could be very disorientating as you moved through the game world. The other neat thing was you could be attacked in your blind side by the AI, making it a little more real. C&C was an early adopter of real time strategy. Which pretty much replaced turn based style of game play. On the ps system turned based example would be the final fantasy series.

I just think it would be difficult to use a controller to play such a game. I've never actually tried though so I guess my opinion on that isnt very valuable.

Well, I was at a big family do this weekend, and we brought along my daughter's copy of Rock Band (and the XBox) for the cousins. Up till then, I've mostly not liked the game, because a) I am not the one playing it, and b) the drums get on my nerves 'cause they don't "drum", they "tick-tick-tickety-clack-tick...".

But it wasn't long until the adults had edged the kids off the game, and the next thing you know, we're all rockers! We laughed till we cried (especially after getting boo'd off the stage). Recommended -- especially for parties.

Brave Fencer Musashi. It's a really old game that came out on the original Playstation. It never got noticed however due to lack of advertising and the fact the Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time came out at the same aproximate time.

But i have this game, and I think it is awsome. You're this really little, cocky arrigent samuri, and you have these 2 swords to fight with. You can steal special abilities from enimies with one of them, and hit REALLY hard with the other.

In the game, you're trying to collect this Scrolls, which are really big rocks :P, and they give you special powers. One for instance lets you cause earthquakes, and another lets you breath fire on enimies.


If you have an Old Playstation or PS2, I recomend this game if your fan of old classics. You might have to do some searching now, but I feel it's worth the look.

I want to add a vote to Starcraft and it's expansion. maybe not best game of all time, but definitively the first Real time strategy game to be (almost?) perfectly balanced. Warcraft 3 is good.. but Starcraft was the first one.

I need to get a new cd-key for my game... or just buy Starcraft II (when it comes out)

The Ocarina of Time is properly my favorite game of all time, I still have it and a N64 and play it till I clock it completely :)
though the rest Legend of Zelda series and the handheld Pokemon Games are always good,
I have basically played these games since I have had the consoles for them,
I also like Elder Scrolls series (Morrowind onwards),
some others as well but those listed are my favorites

oh, and it is not out yet but I have played in a Beta for Guild Wars 2 and absolutely loved it, I have it pre-purchased so I can just pick it up when it comes out. ;D

Not until i went to college did I play Ocarina of time and, well, i was addicted since the first minute of it. Took me 4 days to completely finish (i lived on the N64)

Couldnt agree more with the best games, however I do believe Morrowind tobe the BEST off the elderscrolls. Skyrim comes close but not quite. Oblivion was a bit of a let down for me but still good.
