favorite game of all time?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)



Posted by: cloud

List your favorite game of all time, any console, pc, mobile phone if you wish, whatever, and tell why you like it so much.

After much much much debate between zelda: a link to the past (SNES), halo (xbox) starcraft (PC), and diablo (PC), i'm gonna have to go with starcraft. I know most don't think it was that great of a game, but i like RTS games a lot, and it took strategy to become good at it. Even so, it had somewhat of a story line with 3 different sides (marine, protoss, and zerg) I played it for nintendo 64 first, and after a while i got it for pc so i can play it online. I still crank it up every now and again to relive the past memories of my marines, cranked up with adrenaline, yelling their warcries as i charge an enemy base.

PC: All the FPS,transport tycoon.... Mobile:Snake game ... Xbox-No experience

Posted by: True_Orb

PC: Asheron's Call for level/time of interest, though I'd call it a legitimate addiction. Next is probably Shogunn: Total War. Brilliant game, just plagued by many glitches and a few balance problems.
PS2: My favorite thus far is MK Deception, but objectively speaking the last 2 GTA games have more to offer. None have impressed me immensely.
PS1: Metal Gear Solid was a really impressive game.
SNES: MK3 I played the most, but MK2 was probably best.
NES: Mega Man series, no doubt!

Posted by: Pridurak

Age of Empires II: The Conquerors
Team Fortress Classic

I haven't played Half Life 2 yet so but I have a feeling it'll be up there in my list :D



Posted by: BlazingWolf

PC Best online play: Tribes 2, greatest community and online play I have ever experianced. Too bad they screwed up T:V.

PC RTS: Empire Earth, It's right up there with C&C: Red Alert and Age of Empires 2 but I think it wins out.

PC FPS: America's Army, I like realistic games.

N64: Goldeneye flat out demolishes any other N64 game ever.

Can't really decide for PS2 not one that really sticks out at me.



Posted by: smartech

PC: Half Life (I have no experience with HL2, maby it's good too);
StarCraft, and also other Blizzard games (Diablo 1,2; Warcraft).



Posted by: OIDanTheManIO

PC games are by far the best in my opinion. Although I do have a PS2 and an Xbox, I use them only as coasters for my drinks :D :p ;)

I mean, what else [i]could[/i] you use them for?! HAHA!

PS2 -> Gran Turismo 3
PSX -> Final Fantasy 7/Final Fantasy 8/Final Fnatasy Tatics
NES -> Contra/Power Blade



Posted by: Harper

Hmmmm.... Orginal Unreal or Half-Life 2. :confused:
I enjoyied both games equaly.

HL2 would beat the oringal Unreal if it was not for the fact that the last few levels felt rushed.

[EDIT] Sorry. "Rushed" is the wrong choice of word here. More like "BIG CHUNCKS LEFT OUT" is more accurate [/EDIT]

hygor, nice sig, you know the GT-R is coming to the US in 2007, it's basically just a turbo'd G35 because the US G35 is the current skyline in japan.

sorry it's off topic, but i love import cars almost as much if not more than my comp.



Posted by: SizzlinSean

My favorite game of all time would be Super Mario 64 for the N64. I had hours and hours of fun playing that. My favorite computer game would be Total Annihilation. That game was alot of fun as well..

The Skyline GT-R R34 is my fave car of all time, I really wanted to buy one... but then they stopped making them :(

I hadn't heard about the GR5 being the new skyline... I heard rumours that the 350Z was to be the base of the new skyline.

Its such a shame... the R34 was such a beastly looking mean machine... i still want one.. when I get my finances back on track I might see if I can buy one second-hand!!



Posted by: ohGrFreak

is the infinity G35 called a GR5 in the UK? the nissan 350Z is the same thing as a G35 coupe only not as luxurious here in the US. and in 2007 this will be the first time we will actually have a GT-R.

so yeah basically it's like this

regular skyline=G35 coupe=350Z
GT-R skyline=Turbo G35 coupe=Turbo 350Z
so the 350 is the same as an infinity G35 only sportier and the G35 is more a skyline than the 350Z, but they are all close and use the same engine. it's not R34 anymore, it's like VQsomething too since the engine change.



Posted by: hygor

This is a G35 coupe

This is a 350Z

Yeah Warcraft was good. My console Online fav was Soldier of Fortune. Now i like Battlefield. I just think they need to do something a little more new in that game. Battlefield is basicly always the same game, just new weapons. New gameplay would help. Customizing units, and advances in stealth.
