First Post!
Good morning! I'm guessing this will be a pretty uneventful week, as we creep closer towards the holidays and end of the year. At least there's still plenty of games to keep us entertained right? I actually temporarily find myself back in 2007, as I've finally been playing Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Fantastic piece of gaming so far.
Every year all of us get sent various Christmas cards and packages, and one such card I received this year was from the guys at Splash Damage. I'm only mentioning this because every mention nets the Baird's Tapir Project a donation from the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars developer, and so I'm happy to help the cause.

This changes depending on my mood. Gonna go with Beyond Good & Evil today.
-
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Seriously, I can pop it in any time and instantly lose hours of time and never get sick of it.
-
Most likely the Team Fortress series in general. I have never spent so much time playing a game like this before. QWTF/TFC/TF2 and so forth.
-
Not going to choose! Might be one of the Fallout games. Might be Pirates! ... or Zelda 3.
-
-
-
This is it for me. or chrono trigger.

Because it's the best game ever made, silly.
-
-
Police Quest
-
-
System Shock 2 does.
-
I got this weird feeling of deja vu..

It's because it's true. If I had to decide between both, I'd say Deus Ex has more faults and was too long of a game, and SS2 has coop, so I'd pick SS2.
-
And by faults I meant flaws.

I've repeatedly stated why Rez is my favorite game of all time ( http://www.shacknews.com/search.x?type=comments&terms=rez&cs_user=SiW73&cs_parentauthor=&s_type=all ) Let's pick this one:
it's hard to explain why what is essentially a simplistic rail shooter connects with me so deeply, but it does. I consider shooters the purest form of game anyway, but Rez goes beyond that and completely connects you to the game experience. Almost like Portal, the "real" game isn't even apparent during the first 4 levels, which could be considered training for the final story-based level.
Is it my most played game? Not by a long shot. Has it provided me with the majority of my favorite gaming memories? Hardly. Is it my favorite game ever? Yes.-

first playthrough: Thief The Dark Project
repeat playthroughs: System Shock 2
honourable mention: Grim Fandango -
-
-
-
-
Did you ever combine all of those experiences together in ONE giant playthrough with all the TuTu engine enhancements?
Fucking EPIC.-
TuTu? Details.
-
-
-
Dungeon Keeper 1+2 or Half Life
-
[deleted]
-
KOTOR but its really hard to choose
-
Star Control 2 or Ultima 7
-
Secret of Mana or Metroid Prime
-
Ico is the best game ever made.
-
Flying Sim: TIE Fighter
Side-scroller: Bionic Commando or Mega Man 2
RPG: Planescape:Torment or KotOR
-
Probably Chrono Trigger
-

^^^This one right here.
-
^^ Ding ding

Funny, I said it 9 post above you. I just did it in Red.
-

-
This is one of the games I meant when I said it's a tough call in my post below. Depending on my mood, I might say this one as well. It's certainly the greatest story ever told in a videogame.
-
-
[deleted]
-
-
This for sure.
-
I'll respond to this too because aq2 was that good!
-
-
-
You are correct sir.
-
In my book, it's the biggest, most successful, best designed, most fun, most played, most copied, most respected game ever
-
-
Which is why their model is now copied over the previous models. WoW has used some predecessors to get to where they are now, but they have become the new stepping stone.
-
-
-
-
Same here. I'm fully expecting Diablo 3 to steal the fame though. Not that Blizzard will care since it's double money hats for them.
-
no subscription fee for diablo3 though... but they can make money through bnet advertising.
-
-
-
X-Com for sure, followed closely by Star Control II
-
[deleted]
-
-
System Shock 1
-

-
Probably Thief the Dark Project. Some of those cutscenes make me shiver.
-
-
Half-Life 2 in the modern age
Super Mario Bros Deluxe in the 2d era -
I'm going to agree with some of the others in this thread...SYSTEM SHOCK 2!!!
-
Damnit.
Thief: The Dark Project. -
-
Starcraft... playing it since 98
-
TIE Fighter.
-
Final Fantasy 6

Monkey Island 2 or Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.
-
X-wing vs tie fighter. After that Halo.
-
Tie Fighter with the iMUSE Sound System FTW.
-
X v T pretty much blew, you disappoint me Wolf.

I think the game at a technical level was ok, but the multiplayer was so limited as to make it worthless.
Devs: "Hey, here's a good idea: This game is all about huge, epic space battles involving dozens of ships. Let's limit the multi to 4 players, max. Oh, and let's have no in-game browser, and instead make everyone access the game through this shitty web portal that launches the game for the players, causing them to have to exit the game every time they want to start a match."
/gun
I also like how the A-Wing somehow could carry 12 heavy bombs, making it completely unstoppable as a bomber.
-
-
-
Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries
-
between Deus Ex and Morrowind
-
Quake 1. I logged thousands of hours playing that game.
-
Way too many to pick just one.
-
i know what u mean, but whats the first thing that came to mind!
-
Thief, probably.
-
-
-
Can't name one favorite. :(
-

Secret of Mana has the most feel-good memories of gaming childhood than any other game. I used to play that with my cousin. I was the boy, she was the girl, and we'd pretend my other cousin (her little sister) was the sprite. Great game.
Beyond that, I love a lot of PC games. Syndicate, Daggerfall. Vampires TM: Bloodlines, Quake 3 OSP, Diablo 1 and 2, and of course, WoW. The best time was when TBC was released and I leveled with friends and then ran the instances and raids. I was still really newb (and still am I suppose) but it was really fun coming together for a battle and then winning. -

That game is to hard, you keep hiding it and no one can find it. Multi-player handles horribly too.

Tie Fighter.
Quake 1, 2, and Half-Life are just a step behind. They were all awesome games and were what gave me an opportunity to explore game dev (and eventually lead to my first shipped game) -
I have a list in no particular order:
Zelda OOT
Zelda on the SNES
Mario Kart
Mario Kart 64
F-Zero
Super Metroid
Final Fantasy 2 and 3 (US)
Secret of Mana
Bionic Commando
Blaster Master
Doom
Quake
Castlevania 3
Ok, I have to stop now or I won't actually stop. So many more games to mention that were left out :( -
Vagrant Story
-
^^ This for me.
-
-
Shaq Fu
-
Mario Kart SNES
-

-
Full Throttle I guess. Not the game I consider the "best" but probably my favorite. Half-Life is right up there though, close call.
-
Impossible to say.
Possible candidates:
Tetris, Morrowind, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Planescape Torment, Tempest 2000, Half-Life -
unreal tournament 2004
-
[deleted]
-
Doom2, Duke Nukem3d, TIE Fighter (best story), StarControl 2, System Shock 2, X-COM, Wing Commander, F-Zero, StarFox, GoldenEye, SuperMario Bros3, Diablo2, WOW, CS beta, Total Annihilation
-
Top 5 in no particular order:
Deus Ex
BF1942
Freespace 2
Civilization IV
Dark Forces
Not sure if I'm 100% satisfied with these picks, but I really like all of these games a lot.-
Master of Orion 2 should probably be in here somewhere too

^^ agree

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
I know it's new, but I came by this conclusion by thinking how many times I've played a game without getting bored before finishing it entirely. Previously, I would have said Beyond Good & Evil, but I've played through and beat Uncharted many, many more times.
If I have to name a classic game, it would have to be The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.-
I have to agree. It seems ridiculous to name such a recent game, but I've beaten it twice and am itching to do it again for a 3rd time. That never happens.
-
-
I can't pick one favorite, but Quake is probably the most value I ever got from a single game, simply because of the mod and mapping communities. I have at least 60 great user-made maps just for SP, not to mention all the awesome TCs like Hell in a Can, Zerstorer, Nehahra etc! Add in the MP maps & mods and there was an amazing amount of stuff that kept me playing it right up 'til a couple years ago.
Half-Life would be my second-best value, there was tons of great user-made stuff for that game too! -

Syphon Filter - it was the first stealth game I played and I loved every moment of it.
-
Jerker
-
God damnit, I actually meant this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroker
-
-
COD4 PC MP followed by Quake 3 dm17 1v1
-
Fallout 2.
But the Infinity Engine games are super high up on the list. So close. -
tf2

We <3 Katamari is the best game ever. Deus Ex is second.
