Anti Chamber, One big old cluster fuck when you're stoned.
Same goes for The Stanley Parable.
For some reason I like to play hard games when I'm high.. just to make them even harder due to slower cognition and reactions, for some reason I laugh when I lose at some strategy game where too much happens on the screen and my mind just can't keep up. Especially against human players, something like Starcraft 1 or Age of Empires 2 online.
I might be a sadomasochistic person, I'm not sure.

Sound Shapes and Black Ops Zombies for me. Really looking forward to playing Hohokum.

First night playing Grand Theft Auto 5, had just smoked a bowl and the windows in my games room were open, warm breeze blowing in, sun shining but not too intrusive, and I was finally enjoying the game. Was one of my favorite gaming moments of all time. I had such a cozy high it really made the experience special.

Prey high as shit, one of my buddies threw up from all the gravity craziness.

Smoked enough pot to feel a little giggly. Played red dead online for the first time with a friend, two ps3 in the living room. Immediately shot his donkey dead and laughed about that for about 5 min straight. Proceeded to team up with an 8 year old from Britain who showed us the ropes and got us leveled up enough to earn our horses. Good times.

Proteus, man.
While sober, this game is unplayable. It's a procedurally generated retro-styled world to explore, with music and some semblance of change in the seasons as you explore. Arty bullshit at it's absolute finest.
But when I stumbled home higher than a jumbo jet, I already knew I had to play it. Alone in the dark, dead of night, blasting the sounds of chirping birds and swirling winds through a pair of headphones.. I laughed, I cried, I felt terror - it was everything.

I played red dead redemption and Alan wake high through completion and loved the experience. Also Rez with headphones was an amazing experience.

Gaming and drunk do just not work for me. I get lazy as fuck when I drink, so lots of hand eye coordination and concentration on one task is just not on the cards.
Multiplayer Worms can be quite chill when drunk.

There have been a few times in my past where drinking and gaming happened often enough. More specifically, Guitar Hero and being drunk helped even out the "playing field" if some of the people who wanted to play weren't as proficient in plastic guitar wailing...
To this day however, even though I know there are several games that may benefit from being tried out while super high, the most stand-out experience for me was smoking a bunch over at a friends to play GTA IV immediately after the midnight launch.
I think making any progress in the single player campaign was put on the backseat because after just a few of the missions I got completely lost in the city. Exploring the different sections of Liberty City, walking around and taking in the pedestrian dialog, and seeing random events / police chases was just amazing.
That and testing the euphoria animation system

A couple of years ago, me and two pals (we were all in a former clan back then) went home from our local pub - drunken, like at the edge of being able to walk on the sidewalk drunken. Before we split up, we decided to finish the night off with some public Search and Destroy matches in MW2.
After everyone arrived home, I decided to go with SPAS12 (pump-action shotgun) only and went 16-0 right on the first match on Estate, which is more of a long range map for snipers. Lobby was raging like crazy.
We won about 10 matches in a row, every single of it being clearly superior for us, until we decided to let the poor guys play their game. Hell, the game chat was so fun.
Everyone with a mic was raging, calling us noobs, while we almost died from laughing.
Also, Super Smash Bros. 4-player drunken carnage. Hilarious. Every. Single. Time.

When I'm drunk and playing Smash Bros. and losing, I apparently scream like Gilbert Gottfried.

First time I took MDMA I started playing San Andreas, listened to the Acid House station full blast for an hour. After an hour I got out of the car and shot someone in the game and felt so bad about it I had to turn the game off =P GTA was definitely the wrong type of game to play on Ecstasy.
My favorite one was another time I took some MDMA. I dont know what the pills were mixed with but I was rushing super hard and getting some light visuals which I've never got from just Molly. Anyways, I was playing some Mario World with some friends and we were listening to some House mix. I finished my turn and was just sitting on the couch feeling really excellent, listening to the music when I started to peak. I closed my eyes and I was getting crazy visuals, like a visualizer that went along with the music. All of a sudden I start seeing the Mario sprite and hes running around and hes flashing all sorts of colors, then he jumps and when he lands he turns into a Yoshi egg that proceeds to hatch with a flashing Yoshi that jumped out. At this point I open my eyes and start cracking up trying to explain to my friends what had just happened. Ive never had a pill that I've got visuals like that before or since. Id really like to know what the hell was in it, because I've never had such clear visual hallucinations on anything other than mushrooms.

Nintendo games work extremely well while stoned. Smash Bros is my favorite Nintendo series of all time so that midnight launch will surely be an interesting one.
Totally dude, the end of the game is bananas even not high.
Just remembered getting really high and playing GTA 3 on PS2 with my best friend. We'd turn on extra fog mode, rain, cheat drop a tank and go crazy. I think we did that for a few weeks before we even thought of trying out the story (which we ended up loving and wondered why we didn't do it sooner).

Get a group of friends going at it in the same room...put these two games on in 4 player modes:
The highest I ever got once, I loaded up Flower and it was really relaxing. For some reason I thought that I was connected at the nerves to the game, so I would "feel" everything that was happening, which was def my best high gaming experience. That same day however I played God of War 3, still being "connected by nerves" to the game, and so every hit I took I thought I was feeling pain, leading to my worst high gaming experience.
This. And Journey

Wow, people here are doing drugs? :X Not only unhealthy, but is that even legal in your country? If not, are we allowed to talk about illegal activities on NeoGAF? Curious question. I know we can't talk about pirating.
And hah, people playing BF3 while drunk, that explains why I keep coming in first place
Are you joking or were you really a hall monitor in high school?

I think it's pretty safe to say that if you enjoy smoking, it doesn't matter what game you play.
But if I had to put one game down right now it'd be this:
I would kill for a PC port of Vanquish. KILL!

I played SC2 drunk with a bunch of friends. I remember trying to move my SCVs to the mineral line at the start then looking at the timer and seeing that it was already at 6 minutes lol. I don't remember much after that.

You sound like a lot of fun.
I wish I could pass you my joint (which is perfectly allowed under Dutch laws), would make you lighten up a bit.
I also hope you've never had a sip of alcohol, one of the most dangerous drugs on the planet...

Playing Tearaway on my Vita while stoned made it a greater experience I find. Got me that much more into it.
There's also the frequent GTA 5 - that's a fun one.

My friend got a huge joint for a graduation present, and we passed it at a bonfire at his house that night. When we got bored, we went into his basement, 5 of us crammed into a couch made for 3 people, and we got on GTA4 on 360 and just passed the controller around every time we died in free-roam. One of us was running toward a car to get in, then it just disappeared. We ran to another and that disappeared, and we were really confused. Then a dude riding a toilet with a gold SMG drove up and kept running us over and we were all just dying. I remember we finally got a van or something, then within 5 seconds, he blew it up and we were crying from laughter.
It was pretty great.

While this is true, the amount of flower and form its in can differ the experience, but more importantly it can augment what is already a mind-blowing experience much higher.
For example, if I were older and had been a cannabis user prior to having Mario on the Nintendo 64, it would have truly been mind blowing. Then again, I was pretty young and high on life so I was already extremely excited when I happened to come upon the N64 kiosk at Blockbuster and got to experience the game.
EDIT - This semi-happened in my experience with GTA (open world with that much detail) and also the demo for Killzone 2 (had to restart it several times because it just looked SO good).
Is this guy really banned? Or is this a tag that says banned?
On topic I have definitely partaken of an alcoholic beverage or two while playing MANY games.
