Super Mario 64 hands down

 

[Labadal]

I'll have to go with Final Fantasy VI. It's not the best game objectively speaking, but every time I play it, I feel like the happiest kid in the world.

 

[saska]

Zelda Majora's Mask.
Still cannot get over how ahead of it's time that game was.

And still is.

Best multiplayer: Super Smash Bros. Melee
Best singleplayer: Majora's Mask

 

[eternalb]

Lunar Silver Star: Sega CD

 

[gamemadmax]

Metal Gear Solid 2
Silent Hill 2
Resident Evil 4
ICO
Shadow of the Colossus
Okami
and more....

Devil May Cry 3,

Spoiler

I'm absolutely crazy about it!

Is the HD version better ?

 

[Dog Problems]

I've never had a single game I could always say is my absolute favorite. It's always changed between a group of games.

Alien vs. Predator arcade game by Capcom
Final Fight 3
Super Metroid
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Day of the Tentacle
Sam & Max Hit the Road
Monkey Island 2

Sometimes I prefer the first Monkey Island over the second.

 

[kittens]

A few favorites:
Yoshi's Island
Zelda: Link's Awakening
Halo 1
Portal

 

[FloatOn]

Dark Souls
... Closely followed by Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

But then there is the issue of other types of games.

Favorite FPS campaign:
Bulletstorm
Bioshock

Favorite multiplayer FPS:
Quake 3 Arena

Puzzle:
Might and Magic Clash of Heroes

RPG:
Skies of Arcadia
Final Fantasy 9
Phantasy Star 4
Final Fantasy Tactics

.... And this is why there are so many "impossible to name one" posts.

 

[goldsoundz]

Yup.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Metal Gear Solid 3. The only game I can literally play over and over again and never get tired of it.

 

[JayTapp]

A close call between

or

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

 

[dorkimoe]

star wars galaxies pre cu

 

[Ridesh]

Resident Evil 4

Metal Gear Solid 3

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

 

[Speevy]

Little Nemo: The Dream Master

 

[LeadenStride]

Deadly Premonition

Best of the generation for me. But couldn't name a single game to answer the OP.

 

[HPhins54]

Have to go with Halo 2. So many memories from 4 vs 4 lans with friends. We'd start around 11pm, and next thing we knew, the sun was rising. Lots of crazy TDM on Lockout and FFA shotguns on Beaver Creek. Good times.

 

[Espresso]

Ocarina of Time.

 

[pax217]

Tetris. I never get tired of it.

Either Super Mario 64 or GTA: San Andreas a second place.

 

[Idioteque]

Metal Gear Solid 3

 

[To Far Away Times]

Yoshi's Island.

 

[liquidtmd]

Like many, choosing one is flippant since it does depend what mood you're in. I never get bored of RE2 though. I've lost count of the speedruns I've done on it throughout the years across many platforms. It's a depth filled excellent experience. Some may whinge like babies now about 'tank controls' waaah waaah, but I'll take RE2 over any that followed. And that includes RE4, which was pretty damn good.

Close also rans are Mario 64 and Silent Hill 2.

 

[Caffeine]

Final Fantasy

 

[braves01]

I can't pick just one but the ones I think of immediately whenever the question is asked are:

Resident Evil 4
Metal Gear Solid 2/3
Super Mario World
Super Mario Galaxy 1/2
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Metroid Prime
Super Metroid

 

[anonymous_abc]

and to a slightly lesser extent

nothing else comes close, sadly!

 

[Keylow415]

 

[SxP]

Persona 4. Which makes me very happy that the EU release isn't that far off. Shadow of the Colossus and Demon's Souls are up there as well.

 

[KillerTravis]

It's a tie between this:

and this:

 

[Spazznid]

Forgot to say Half-Life 2. I've beaten it about 30 times and halfway beaten it at least 60 more. That's not including times I've beaten cinematic mod. Perfect execution of a single payer fps.

 

[vilmer_]

Extremely tough choice but it always comes back down to this. SO many memories and great times.

 

[Joe Lee]

Hard to list just one, but here's my top 5:

1. Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht. I really credit this along with Chrono Trigger as what got me into RPG's in the first place. Tremendous cast of characters, excellent story telling, and a really cool implementation of various areas of religion and philosophy. While its sequels never reached the same heights of the original, the trilogy was just a fantastic story, and I'm still holding on to that faint, slim, non-existent chance that we may see a continuation. But I've also accepted that we probably never will.

2. Chrono Trigger. Much like Xenosaga, Chrono Trigger was what got me into RPG's in the first place. Over fifteen years later, this game still holds up incredibly well, and had one of the most memorable cast of characters ever. I can't even count how many times I played this game start to finish. I've actually been meaning to pick up the DS remake, too, so I can check out that new dungeon and ending.

3. Xenoblade Chronicles. Not only was Xenoblade my favorite game from last year, it also became one of my favorites of all time. Goddamn, Takahashi is a genius.

4. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This may just be the nostalgia goggles having effect, but goddamn I've gone through Ocarina countless times and it's the only Zelda game I haven't grown tired of. While other games in the series have since expanded and bettered the formulas introduced in Ocarina, that first step into a fully 3D Hyrule still feels as tremendous as it did all those years ago.

5. Super Mario World. Super Mario World was probably the first game I ever played, and it's the reason I'm a gamer today. After all of these years, there's yet to be another Mario game to top World, and it's another one of those games that I just never grow tired of.

Honorable mentions: Okami, Metal Gear Solid 3, Donkey Kong Country 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Red Dead Redemption, Super Smash Bros Melee

 

[Crapitalism]

[Mr. Fix]

Hard to say, especially since each one would fall under its own category. There are a few that will always stick with me.

In no particular order:

Kid Icarus: Uprising
MGS
Uncharted 2
Super Mario Galaxy
Final Fantasy IX
Fire Emblem (GBA)
999/VLR
The World Ends With You

I've been playing P4G and FF XII lately and I also think they'd be up there.

 

[Foshy]

4-way tie between Super Mario 64, Sunshine, Rayman Origins and Journey.

 

[jaz013]

+1

 

[Yonafunu]

I sat there and played the game all day with my clothes still on.

OP, you play games naked?

On topic: no clue, maybe Zelda MM?

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

 

[caesar]

Unreal Tournament 2004 or Quake 3 Arena

 

[seady]

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I go back on forth whether it's this of Link to the Past.

 

[Drain You]

Resident Evil 4. I get the urge to replay it every few months. I am such a Leon fanboy.

Runner up would def have to go to Donkey Kong Country 2.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

Some of you people are nutso. Deadly Premonition? Kingdom hearts 2? I commend your love of these games, but sheesh.

For me it might have to be either:

OMG forgot half-life 2!!!!!!

 

[Axelstream]

In no particular order:

Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
EarthBound
Mother 3
Persona 4
Hotel Dusk: Room 215

All games I love dearly.

 

[FourMyle]

All of this is the GOAT:

 

[ViewtifulJC]

^Lotta 2s

 

[dancingphlower]

It's pretty close, but I'd have to go with DMC3.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Star Fox 64 because of the times I've played it with my father.
