What is your favorite video game... ever?

What kind of game is it?

It's a stylistic graphic adventure game. Film noir meets Aztec mythology meets the Western personification of death.

"This deck of cards is a little frayed around the edges, but then again so am I and I've got fewer suits."

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

I should mention Bio Shock 2. But mostly, what I really enjoyed about that game was the Soundtrack.

So I take it, in your old age n' all, you've played Infidel?

No, I'm not that old. But I have played a lot of those sorts of games.

[The Parkus Empire]

Nope. Not ringing a bell, sorry.

Grim Fandango, one of my top 5 favourite games.

My five would be.

That
Myst
Zeus: Master of Olympus
Star Trek: Armada
Shadowrun (SNES)

[Galactic Terran Empire]

Marathon Infinity is the greatest.

[Aeken]

1) Wrong forum.
2) Halo is a thoroughly unimpressive game.

Fallout 3.

I like your tastes, Fris. Fallout 3 is amazing. Well, more than that.

[Slafstopia]

Kerbal Space Program.

Or, as autocorrect would say, Legal Slave Organ.

[New Tsavon]

Fallout: New Vegas, although I still like Halo.

[Saiwania]

I don't have a favorite because there are too many that can be called good. But I'm currently playing DBZ Budokai 3 via a PS2 emulator in my spare time. For it's time- it was the best DBZ game to date, but I'm not familiar with how some more recent ones compare. I do mainly fighting, stealth, first and third person shooters, with some occasional flight simulators.

[Horsefish]

So many to choose from.

You've got: Star Wars Battlefront (1+2), Mass Effect (up until the ending of 3), Bioshock, Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, CoD 1-5, Red Dead Redemption, Forza, Burnout 3, GTA, Total War series, Dawn of War series, Half-Life, Portal, Company of Heroes, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Elder Scrolls, Farcry 3 and Counter Strike.

[Neurotic Pandas]

For me it's probably Civilization II. Or Panzer General II.

[Swyftlandre]

For me it would have to be, Portal 2 & Civ V (with Brave New World + Gods + Kings).

The Portal Series in general is brilliant, a good mix of First Person Puzzler with that much personality and creativity that really marries Gameplay and Narrative in such a great way. Then there's the Multiplayer Test Chambers and the absolutely brilliant modding community. GLaDoS, Wheatley, Cave Johnson and even the Turrets are so well written that the game is a joy to play and despite their personalities, the game still manages to feel lonely and dark. An test facility that's been over-run by nature after the first game's events and even the later-game test chambers (which I won't spoil, just in case) are just so great.

As for Civilization V, until Brave New World, hands down, Civ IV: Beyond the Sword has been my favorite RTS Game. I've dabbled in other games, mainly ones by Paradox but I've never really had the time to play them and when I do have time for a RTS Game, I always go for Civilization. The game is so accessible that it's just easy to boot up and start a game. Especially now we have the World Congress and the New Cultural Victory.

EDIT: Also forgot Far Cry 3. That game is brilliant and it's expandalone, Blood Dragon is just as unique and a great homage to the 80's. It's the throwback to the 80's Duke Nukem Forever should have been.

Also up here is Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, my favorite in the series. Rayman Legends + DKC: Tropical Freeze are looking to be my favorite Platformers of all time, alongside Super Meat Boy. Bioshock 1 is still my favorite FPS Game, despite it's lack of difficulty. Xenoblade Chronicles, Earthbound (Not for gameplay, that had some terrible design choices such as the Homesick Weakness, but it had such great charm and character) or Dragon Quest 9 are my favorite JRPG's and Oblivion is my favorite Western RPG. (Speaking of which, I got Final Fantasy VII in the Summer Sale, I'm late to the party but I'll finally be able to see what all the fuss is about) For nostalgia purposes, my favorite game as a child was Crash Bandicoot and looking back it the original trilogy still holds up well and is a blast to play, with Twinsanity also being super fun to play.

Ah, yes, BF was pretty cool. And I loved the space battles in BF2, although I wish they'd have kept Tattooine.

[Densaner]

Faves -

Wings
Sensible Soccer / EH International Soccer
Halo series
Half Life 2 / Portal
Dizzy series
Hard Drivin'
Manhunt
Black
COD: World at War
Bioshock

[Nimzonia]

Skyrim is pretty good, I'm currently addicted to Minecraft though.

Skyrim isn't a scratch on Oblivion.

Of the three Elder Scrolls games I've played (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim), Oblivion is by far the weakest. Such a generic and boring world.

[Priory Academy USSR]

Depends on the category.

FPS: Either Halo, CS:GO or BF2, but these are because I only really do FPSs to relax and never take them seriously.
RTS: EU3. Or Vicky 2, but that was slightly buggy for me.
TBS: Alpha Centauri, followed by Civ II and Civ V.
RPG: Skyrim for graphics/scenery, Morrowind for story/detail.
Others: Assassin's Creed has never let me down for a fun time. However, I've never played 3 which isn't as good, apparently.


Special mention must go to Doom for still being fun after 20 years of existence and outmoded graphics and gameplay.

[TaQud]

Super Smash Bros

[Central Slavia]

MMO: World of Tanks
RTS: Starcraft and SC:Brood War, Warcraft III
RPG: Diablo II (time-wise), Planescape:Torment & Arcanum (best story, the two), Baldur's Gate (best gameplay), Fallout & Fallout 2 (most re-playings)
FPS: Quake, Quake II, Operation Flashpoint, Halo

[Meryuma]

I'd say Ocarina of Time or the Portal series, even though that's kinda like saying Citizen Kane is your favorite film or Sgt Pepper's is your favorite album. I also love Banjo-Tooie and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.

Planescape:Torment

I so want to play that.

[Genivaria]

Super Smash Bros

Oh god the hours spent on that one..

[TaQud]

Super Smash Bros

Oh god the hours spent on that one..

fun story + great characters + great maps =

[Horsefish]

Ah, yes, BF was pretty cool. And I loved the space battles in BF2, although I wish they'd have kept Tattooine.

The hours I spent playing through both of them can never be called wasted.
Can't wait for the new one, although lots could go wrong if they fiddle too much.

FPS: Either Halo, CS:GO or BF2, but these are because I only really do FPSs to relax and never take them seriously.

Tisk, really are missing out.

[New haven america]

Favorite series is Legend of Zelda.

But favorite game is a tie between Mario Kart Wii, Mass Effect 3, or LoZ Skyward Sword. So hard to pick one. :\

LoZ is overrated. Mass effect 3's ending was a punch in the gut.

No it's not, Legend of Zelda is very good.
There are 3-4 different endings in Mass Effect 3, you got an ending you didn't like.

[Nueva Zapatista]

The correct answer is Pong.

♦ ♦ UPDATE ♦ ♦

Quake III Arena.

I'd also like to mention the Orange Smoothie Productions tournament scoring system created for Q3. Without out it the game rocked but with it installed the game became a viable alternative to life; in its heyday many a love story and college education was ruined by this potent combination of software.

[Soviet Post Punk]

Fallout 3.

Hahahahahah.


My favourite game is either snake eater, super deep throat or mount and blade warband.
