My top 3:

1) Metal Gear 2
2) Sonic Adventure 2
3) Beyond Good and Evil

Metal Gear 2, I was just completely blown away by. Of course, being the not-living-in-Japan kinda guy I am, I first played it back when MGS3: Subsistence was released. I played through MGS3 again, new camera was fun. Then I went through the original Metal Gear. It kinda sucked. Then Metal Gear 2. It was just AWESOME. The puzzles are awesome and clever. Especially the final boss. You've been stripped of all your weapons and you have to fight the most legendary soldier in all of ever. So what do you do? You run away like the scaredy cat you are, grab some hair spray and make a FLAMETHROWER. It's epic. And you can walk on acid as long as you're holding some chocolate. It makes so much sense that I love it. And you know those lame moral decision choices that are forced on you in so many other games? Well, Metal Gear 2 executes the system perfectly: if you punch a little kid, you lose HP! This game surely saved thousands of lives from child abuse.

Sonic Adventure 2. This is the best game ever made. No, really, the best. Except Metal Gear 2. But Metal Gear 2 cheated with the chocolate. Sonic Adventure 2 hbas something that I can't quite grasp, but it's just plain awesome. The story was amazing, something you'd never have expected from a Sonic game. It looks beautiful. I'd love it even if put to today's standards. And then it's just plain fun and awesome. And then the chao. I LOVE THE CHAO. I spent days and days of nonstop playing, trying to get those chao strong enough to win the karate tournament and save the orphanage! Oh, and did I mention Karate entirely consists of standing in place for a few seconds and slowly crawling over to your opponent and just blindly bopping them on the head? It's awesome like that and SA2 captured it beautifully.

Beyond Good and Evil was awesome. Seriously. Seriously, a combination of Metal Gear and Pokemon Snap? THAT'S THE BEST GAME EVER. Seriously. Pokemon Snap was the best game ever, and making a game combining it with Metal Gear is the best game ever, because Metal Gear 2 was the best game ever. Not to mention everybody is like an animal for some reason. That's like Sonic kinda. Sonic Adventure 2 was the best game ever. This is the best game ever. Except for Metal Gear 2. It cheated with fighting child abuse. Oh, and the story in Beyond Good and Evil pwned. CLIFFHANGER ENDING WHAT WHERE'S THAT DARNED SEQUEL oh wait there it is.

OSU!!

Also favorites are Cave Story, TWEWY, Sonic Heroes, Sonic & Knuckles, Phoenix Wright series (man! I haven't played those in ages!), Professor Layton and the Curious Village, and all Rockman games from the Classic series.

Most of them, unfortunately, I haven't played in a great while. Well... I that's most of them at least, I think...

I can't really pick a favorite... if i had to choose maybe LoZ: Windwaker. Just due to the amount of time I've played it. A while ago my little brothers wiped my memory card three times over so i had to rebeat the game and second quest a total of 6 times, im on my 7th runthrough right now.

I wouldn't be able to do that with any other game

People tend to say Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best game... though having not played it, I can't contribute further.

The only games I've heard crowned as "Best game ever" are Final Fantasy VII (This is very niche and generally a statement of huge RPG/PSX/Squenix fans) and Super Metroid (a much more valid claim - go back in time and play it; it was amazing for its time and has aged just as well as Chrono Trigger).

Off topic speculation based on above paragraph sentence: Best aged game ever? Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger have both aged magnificently. If those games were ever remade (lol CT) I don't think they'd actually get changed because they were pretty much perfect the first time around. Super Metroid could use sharper weapon-selection icons and a nicer-looking pause menu, but that's basically it.

TWEWY, Cave Story, Osu, Boktai (dunno which one D=)... Megaman Zero 3. And maybe FFTA. Oh, I forgot, Nekketsu Basketball for the NES xD

My number one goes to... Osu!
(of course, if anybody else would be punching me up.)
Second is Second Life (Ha-ha!)

Here's my favorite top 3 games:

1) Guilty Gear Accent Core (Wants Accent Core + to be released...)
2) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future
3) Megami Persona Be Your True Mind

I do have many other favorites, and they're hard to choose from. In terms of gameplay, I would choose Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. I loved that game since I was 6 yrs old. In terms of style, I would pick Persona 3 FES, because who knew a RPG/Life Simulator can be filled with cool lookin' menus with a great soundtrack? Well, that's my choices, heh.

1) Phantasy Star Universe

2) Half-Life Series

3)Portal

I love all of those games right now

Well, I'm not sure... but i can narrow it down to about 5...

Trauma Center, Osu, Taiko, Phoenix Wright, Mario 64/Galaxy...

It looks like an inocent question, but waoh, thats hard to answer. Well my favourites are:

Zone Of the Enders: The Second Runner (Hideo Kojima, left alone that soldiers story called mgs, and come back!), The legend of Zelda: A link to the past (3D Zeldas are great but this one... 100% awesome), Super Mario Bros 3: the best mario game, and I don't understand why people keep saying Super Mario Land is better), Lufia: The rise of the sinistrals (Lufia II in the States and in Japan... I supouse), awesome game, with most challengin puzzles in a game (Y want a NDS remakeeee!) and Perfect Dark N64, (the first perfect multiplayer)

For the actual generation, and quite soon to know if they are going to be my favourites: Mario Galaxy, Brawl and Lost Odyssey

Final Fantasy IX
It has the best Italian translation ever, has really good graphics and musics, has a good story and lots of other things
I don't know a game I liked more than that one.

tetris, pacman, galaga, punch out, forgot the other one

Hm, well... I hardly ever have one favourite, but I have a few favourite games.
In no particular order...
1) Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (I don't care if it's basically an expansion pack. It owns.)
2) Medievil 2 (Skeleton + Guns + Old Victorian Setting = Pwnage)
3) Dark Cloud (Hard as hell, that last boss.)
4) osu! of course.
5) EBA/Ouendan. Understandable though.

castlevania:aria of sorrow!!!

I really want to say TWEWY is my favourite game, but I know SF64 just would not agree with that at all. Nor would Kingdom Hearts. And I really don't want to get on the God of War's bad side picking favourites. Hmm.

just pick osu

Half-Life 1 (With 2 running close second)

My first RPG was Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Yeah, I joined the RPG train late...

Soul Blazer for the SNES. It's just so darn good. I mean, you play... Jesus/Son of God. And you kill stuff. With a sword that shoots flaming birds out of it. Oh, and you can sneak yourself into the dreams of dolphins. And stuff. And you can talk with racoons and steal human-sized armor from birds.

And the name of the last boss? DeathToll. He's got Death in his name. That's why this game rocks my socks.

Dethtroll

Just to name a few, um...

Monopoly, In The Groove 2, Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core, Kirby: Super Star, Gradius V, Mountain of Faith, Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, Super Smash Bros: Melee, Tetris The Grand Master 3, let me stop.

There are too many out there. I can never just pick one, and goodness knows I left so many out.

Oh, did I mention you can talk to elevators and rafts?

That's how awesome that game is.

Johnny’s Xtreme Adventure - It has Unlockaballz, A T-Rex with a Sharks head, and a rocket launcher that shoots chainsaws... and the chainsaws explode.
It's like taking a tray of cookies and baking them up in your ass.

In all actuality ITG2(Arcade), Patapon(PSP), MGS3(yet to play 4)(PS2), LoZ:OoT(N64), The New Tetris(N64), MKDS(DS)

But let's not forget Painkiller.

There's a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.

I have like two favorite genres, RPG and rhythm. Storyline wise, my favorite RPG is Lunar: SSS. Such an epic game. (Though I loves me the Chrono series, I'm just waiting till they get their head's out of their rears and make the 3rd game.) Gameplay, I love me so NIS games (Disgaea, Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave, etc.)
And I can't really name a favorite on the Rhythm side of gaming, I just love it all. Osu! is already proving to be a really awesome game, so it's already growing on me. (The free part rocks too.)

Hello, first and possibly one of my last posts, I'm waiting for osu! to install.
It would have to be either Dark Chronicle or Twilight Princess

Metal gear solid series for me especially the 3, the story is too awesome

From your avatar I'm pretty surprised of your choices.

Ew, FF7 and 10. I'd enjoy them if the hype about them didn't kill it for me.

For me, the best game ever is Legend of Dragoon. 120+ hour game and I beat it three times.

Just to ask, why 7 and 10 out of all of them? I mean, personal preferences, and all, but I just want to see specifically why.

I mean, X was a solid game, and even back in the day, I didn't like VII. But it seems that most people seem to like VII and X the most.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

I assume most people like VII because it was their first RPG, and considering the graphical quality back then, it looked pretty damn nice. X for the same reason.

And I can't stand the PS1 FFs, even though I enjoy every other (main) FF game (and Mystic Quest and X-2). VII is too irritating for me, VIII, I enjoyed the Junctions, but disliked the fact that the enemies were handily stronger than me even in the mid-game, and I couldn't even get halfway through the Mist Continent without getting tired and bored.

Personally Tales Of The Abyss is my favorite game, Final Fantasy VII comes in a close second followed by Star Ocean The Second Story.

Recently I have found myself playing games like Baroque, Persona 3 (FES) and The World Ends With You, which are now on my favorite list as well.

Hmmm... OSU! nah, it's awesome, but not the best... The best games I've played are probably Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Turrican II (For those who don't know, it's legendary sidescroller for Amiga)... There are Whole bunch of others, including many other Amiga games, and some a bit newer ones, But those were the first that came in to my mind. And yes, I feel old... ... ... >_>

Omfg, this questions is so hard. >_< Any of the post-64 Zelda games, or FF7... Or.. alot of things. Such a hard choice x]

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2.

Go ahead... Make fun of me, but I won't change my answer...

Halo- Combat Evolved for Windows Best FPS ever

Download: Jun Ishikawa - Sky High (_LRJ_) [Dagonpater's Hard].osu

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the past. Seriously, LOVE.

Trauma Center: Second Opinion. The 8 months I had to wait and spoiler everything with youtube videos of it were a pain in the arse.

Final Fantasy IV. Even though Hyadain's "Four Fiends" spoilered me </3


That's pretty much it. And osu! of course, but do I have to tell you?

how did Hyadin's Four Fiends spoiler for you? FFIV is like a decade old.

It's like the original trilogy and the older Indiana Jones movies - there are always people who have never watched it. Always. The thing is, they're all so old that we all regard them as old hat, and spoiler the shit out of them, e.g. Aeris' death in FFVII or Galuf's death in FFV.

Metal gear solid 3

"GOD BLESS" quoted by Sir Omighty

Snake, what have you done? You've revived this thread! You've created a Time Paradox!

Kingdom Hearts series <3

Portal
Braid
Halflife2

Updating with my actual favourites.

The flagship Pokemon games have always had a special place in my heart. The Shin Megami Tensei series follows, along with a multitude of games from the Final Fantasy series and Pop'n Music.

Shenmue II

In close second is Nintendo's first party Mario and Zelda games.

This is hard to narrow down to just one game but I think I can name 2 that are close competitors for the title:

Final Fantasy IX
LoZ: Majora's Mask

Inb4 "zomg you liek MM more than OoT whaaaat loser lololol!"

No

Counter Strike Source
osu!
S4 League
Global Agenda

Shooters:
Excessive Plus (free)
Urban Terror (free)

God bless the games I played when I was younger:
The Neverhood
Abes Oddysey
Abes Exodus
Ignition
Micro Machines v2

Probably The Neverhood and the 2 Abe games were the best.
I also had lots of fun with Ignition and Micro Machines, both racing games.

I think i go with Ace Attorney series, no game has got me addicted before that badly(except osu) story and plot twists are just awesome.
Also from rpgs i'm gonna say golden sun and ff ix.

Inb4 "zomg you liek MM more than OoT whaaaat loser lololol!"

IMO Majora's Mask is superior in every way possible. I still prefer the Wind Waker.

/me still can't decide on his favorite game(s) of all time

I was wondering why this thread had six pages and I had never seen it before.

Anyway, Valkyrie Profile. Shit's too good.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It had a lot to offer when i was a kid.
I'm still playing the game to this day on my Virtual Console.

This is really hard for me to decide. I have enjoyed every single game I played so far, and I don't play that much games, either.

I'm gonna have to give this to Runescape. It's the game that I have played the longest time, and the fact that there's so much to do AND there's lots of people to talk to really makes it hard to lose my interest. (Though I don't understand why a lot of my RS-retired classmates don't think that way... )

Super Smash Bros Brawl, New Super Mario Bros Wii, and Mario Kart Wii are honorable mentions. They're really awesome games to play with friends imo (especially Brawl).

There's the keyword(s). Fun to play with friends. Just getting in before the hate does.

imo Mario Kart 64's probably better than Wii if it's just two humans playing, though. Either's better with a bit of booze.

Every single one is better than Mario Kart(Bike) Wii. I honestly prefer Double Dash the most, enjoy playing All-Cup Tour with my cousin. Great way to pass the time.
MK64 and DS are always fun times as well.

This thread has been successfully revived.

I really don't care for the DS version that much. For solo play, yeah, it's superior, but I don't ever solo play Mario Kart any more. I liked double-dash the least of any of the MK games. Not sure why. It just didn't sit well with me.

Well, personally, I hate racing games. To me, it's like "I'mma hold the A button down and move the joystick in different directions! This is fun..."

But my favorite game EVER is most definitely TWEWY. The story... art... play-style... soundtrack... In fact, I have a hard time thinking of something I have AGAINST it. Too bad it's so damn hard to find nowadays.

Of course, my other favorites are: Golden Sun, EBA, Rhythm Heaven, Pokemon Platinum, Retro Game Challenge, Megaman 9, and more. But if you don't have TWEWY, stop whatever you're doing and buy it. NOW.

"TWEWY is not a game. It's a way of life." ~ Some guy from another forum that I've forgotten.

-me

EDIT : I changed my mind, my favorite game of all time is any rhythm games (o2jam, osu!, etc.) and simple-looking yet brilliant RPGs such as Cave Story

I think my favorite game of all time is Megaman X for SNES, played it too much back when I was a kid.
I also enjoy the Legacy of Kain series and stealth action games like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell.

This is a very hard choice >.< ATM osu! is working its way up, But World of warcraft is probably my favorite. Im addicted to the Arena's >.< trying to level up a few classes in order to see what i like best in PvP. So far im liking the healers, Resto druid or Disc priest. Or a rogue. Although i dont have a priest or a rogue of my own, Ive played on my friends and gotten to 2200 on Ruin with them ^.^

MM2 MM3

Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142.. Then, OSU XD

Castlevania, after which, are followed closely by Mario Kart and Pokemon.

I cant decide but my favorite 3 games are
1) Sly 3 honor among thieves (ps2)
2) Sonic riders zero gravity (again ps2)
3) Guitar hero 3 (yes ps2)



Note: I only have a ps2 and I have been asking for a ps3 but the slim ps3 has no backwards comparability and the Xbox 360 sucks (already went through 2 xboxes and I don't like them)

Legoland

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64

It's a toss-up between Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 and Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus. Because I still play them extensively.

Of course naughty bear

Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast

Hatsune Miku -Project DIVA-, what else

/me have to score on Hatsune Miku no Shoushitsu o.o (needs a Perfect below 40 FINE)

Ouendan2~

Pokemon

kingdom hearts series,i love that game.
and Osu! Ofcourse^^

osu! (August 2008)
Red Alert 2 (October 2000)
Pokémon Gold/Silver (September 2000)
Mario Kart DS (December 2005)

These are all games I play or played obsessively. I still put Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 on new installs.

Honestly, I have to disagree. The CPUs were both too easy and extreme item whores.
It`s like *red shell*, *red shell*, *blue shell--dodges*, *lightning*, *another blue shell--can't dodge because tiny*, *red shell*, ~Oh look, I'm still in first place~

Multiplay and time trials are really what make this game memorable. It offers more depth than other Mario Karts because of the impact where you place your MTs and how you take corners/obstacles has on your time.

Pokémon Silver:
My first pokemon game!

Final Fantasy 6:
idk why i like this game so much o.o

The World Ends With You:
Super duper good game play

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor:
Very good game, makes me care a lot about
the characters

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney:
Instantly loved this game. So much plot twist X_X

Team Fortress 2:
SPY!!!

My Fav game of all time is a tie between Cosmic Break and Armored Core but Osu ! is gonna pass them lol =D

F-Favo...Favorite?! NO! That is the worst question ever! I can't answer that without changing my answer at least thirty times! >3<'

Uhm... Uh-Uhm...
I guess it's between Majora's Mask and Super Smash Bros. Melee. :Y

This is a really hard question to answer just because the game keeps being switched around. When I was a kid in the SNES era, it was Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars tied with Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong-Quest, during the Dreamcast era it was Sonic Adventure, GameCube had Super Smash Bros. Melee, and so on and so forth.

But it I had to choose one, it would be SMRPG for the sole reason that it was the very first game I ever played, getting me into gaming in the first place.

Wait, does this count as a necropost? D:

Counter Strike 1.6 + Condition Zero

FFX

For me that would be this game called Gotcha Force. I love it so much. It's just fun for some reason. The DDR and Pokemon series tie for second.

Maybe MKDS, god I loved that game :')

Legend of Dragoon
