I have played Gothic 2 Alot and it's my favorite game of all time.
This got me thinking.. I was going to post it in that topic, but I thought everyone else will definitely be able to add their thougts, so I thought, why not start a separate thread? So, what is your favourite game of all time?

My personal top 3 of all time would be:

1. Half-Life series
2. Diablo series
3. Commandos series

Well, I decided to answer this question with "Deus Ex" from now on.

Although I do feel tempted to list a good dozen under appreciated gems I absolutely adore... and then the popular games I agree with being in every hall of fame and... arrr, damn it:

PC: Archimedean Dynasty, System Shock 2, Thief, Half-life (duh!), Portal, Defcon, XCom, Alpha Centauri, Command & Conquer, All classic Lucas Arts Adventures

SNES: Terranigma, Earthbound, Live a Live, Star Fox, Secret of Evermore

N64: Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Zelda Ocarina of Time (duh again)

Great, now I even feel like having missed one. :|

Wow, I am really behind, I haven't heard of half of those games mentioned! But this is great, I always wanted to know of really good games worth playing. I might just end up getting some of those games mentioned to try them out...after I get settled at university of course :lol:

When I was very young my absolute favourite game used to be Death Rally.. Don't know if anyone's heard of it, but it was the most addictive and fun to play.

How does one go about measuring "Best" or "Favorite?

As for most played non-stop, I'd have to say Civ II. Longest on my hard drive? HL 1.
Most replayed Unreal II. Most long for sequel Duke Nukem and Fallout.

The best things in life, aren't things.

I have a motion sickness issue with FPS games. I found however that the unreal games play so much smoother that I can motivate myself to play them through to the end. So for that reason, I have played the unreal games most, in replay.

I have all FPS games released from 1997 or so till two years ago. Since then, I have been ill motivated to buy games due to my lack of an internet connection.

So yea, I have Unreal 1.

Wow Orph that's pretty impressive... how did you get the time to play all of them :lol:? I'd probably have a ratio of playing through 4-5 games a year..

I see a couple of people like Roller Coaster Tycoon, I must say I played it for hours and hours, it'd probably have to go in my list too.

Howdy folks! Long time no post; figured I'd pop by :)

Favourite games eh? Ooooh, never an easy one to answer! I'll take the slightly easier "list a few" tactic that most people seem to be going for!
  • Final Fantasy series (VII being my all time favourite, if I'm getting specific)
  • Vagrant Story
  • Half-Life series
  • Ico / Shadow of the Colossus
  • Jet Set Radio series
I find it really hard not to post more, as there's so many games that hold a special place in my heart for specific reasons. The ones listed above appealed to me in pretty much every way though; games that might have had their faults but far too many features or mechanics that suited my tastes for me to care.

The top of the heap is easily Half-Life 1 but ranking my other favorite games is much more muddled. Somewhere on the rest of the ranking you'd find: TIE Fighter, Quake 1, Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries, Colonization, Alpha Centauri, Close Combat 2, Star Fox 64, Super Metroid, Baldur's Gate, and Stalker:SOC.

Yes, the game is really fun, it's graphically impressive for an NES title, and the music is lovely. And, you kick frogs for power ups, come on.

It's also on TurboGrafx, but I haven't played that one.

Hahah, very nice. The gameplay reminds me of Super Mario Bros 3 a bit, which might I add would also go into my favourites of all time, used to play it for hours when I was younger.

So yeah, my updated list:

Half-Life series
Diablo series
Commandos series
Death Rally
Roller Coaster Tycoon
Super Mario Bros 3

Someone will probably jolt my memory for other games when they mention others.
