Too many to pick just one, but if I had to... Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction? But Demon's Souls...Metroid Prime... argh!

 

[Andrew.]

No contest.

 

[Ikkarus]

Valkyria Chronicles is mine.

I am a massive fan of SRPG's and I grew up loving Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Fire Emblem and others and then this game got announced and I saw a gameplay video and was in heaven! The art style was really unique and amazing as well.

I played the demo about 20 times when it came out on PSN and tried a load of different strategies to get the best rank and all the characters (albiet many were nuts!) meant you wanted to protect most of them and it gave me that sense of carefully planning my next move.

The game arrived and whilst there are a few annoyances the game overall was amazing and is my most played game in my collection.

 

[Woody Invincible]

But seriously, it's my favorite game.

 

[anotherVegan]

Mine's usually a three-way tie:

Zelda: A Link to the Past

Super Metroid

Tetris

All are pretty much perfection in their own regard.

 

[Seth Balmore]

So this is the big question, huh. Time to choose only one game:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance.

 

[daveo42]

No way I could pick just one. Most on my list would probably be PSX era RPGs and the remakes made for it (FFVI, Chrono Trigger, etc.).

 

[Shin Kojima]

Favorite game of all time in terms of perfection: Super Metroid

Favorite game of all time in terms of me never getting bored with it no matter how much I keep playing it: [current best version of] Monster Hunter

 

[StevePharma]

Baldurs Gate 2. No doubt. PERFECTION

runners up are OoT and a special outsider Beyond Good & Evil.

 

[Hematocryal]

not possible for me. I can't rank an amazing experience and there's no one game I'm completely dedicated to. I've played too many games and loved too many for different reasons that a definitive number one ain't possible for me to give. Depending on my mood, craving, or the time of the year it could be anything from Parasite eve, Resident Evil, and Metal Gear Solid, or Zelda, brawl, Mario kart and time splitters, maybe some legend of the dragoon and silent hill.

You wouldn't ask a parent to choose their favorite child, DON'T ASK ME TO CHOOSE MY FAVORITE GAME *cough*

 

[papercamm]

Probably StarFox 64 given how much I loved it when I was younger.
Definitley Metroid Prime, actually.

 

[LastNac]

"Game": Knights of the Old Republic

Experience with a controller: Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

 

[dude819]

Halo: Combat Evolved

 

[The D]

Ocarina of Time.

 

[kewlmyc]

Persona 3 FES

Lots of very close runner ups though.

 

[SlaughterX]

Chrono Trigger.

Yup.

 

[UpperCaseN]

Final Fantasy Tactics

 

[Felix Lighter]

I'm a little reluctant to say what I think my favorite game is because it was released relatively recently, so perhaps I haven't had enough time to truly consider it amongst everything else I've played over the last 3 decades. That being said, it immediately comes to mind because it just seems to scratch all the right itches for me.

The Witcher 2

Other games that I would consider:

Half Life 1 or 2, Battlefield 1942 (probably has more to do with the group I played with at the time than the game itself), Resident Evil 4, KOTOR, BG 2, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Super Mario Bros. 3, Vice City

 

[Arksy]

I have to say, I came into this head with a game in mind, but after seeing how good GAF's taste is, I'm not so sure anymore. Too many great picks.

 

[Barry Burton]

Yep.

 

[canedaddy]

GTA Vice City or San Andreas, I go back and forth

 

[ScOULaris]

Shadow of the Mother-Effing Colossus.

Without a doubt my favorite game of all time.

 

[Like the hat?]

I could never pick just one

Same. Off the top of my head I can pull super Mario world, Suikoden 2, breath of fire 2, illusion of Gaia, terranigma, link to the past, and so many more.

 

[Nestunt]

just clicked

from that point on I believed games are art

 

[Viperik]

Dark Cloud 2



Zelda + Random Generated Dungeons + Actraiser + Level 5 = Win

 

[KSai]

Kung Fu for NES. The magic of 8-bit never fades.

 

[Snuggles]

Motherfucking Bejeweled.

There have been two phases of mankind's existence: before Bejeweled, and after Bejeweled. It is, without a doubt, our greatest contribution to the universe. I hope that by the time of my death I can have my brain put into a computer and have Bejeweled beamed into my mind for the rest of eternity. Simply the best.

 

[SentientStone]

Metal Gear Solid for the PS1

 

[GoddyofAus]

I couldn't possibly pick one. Oot, Conker's BFD, Bioshock, Half Life 2, Halo 1, Mass Effect 2, KOTOR and CoD 4 are all serious contenders.

 

[Tex117]

Souls games,
FFVI
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger

 

[sixghost]

Starcraft: Brood War

Dark Souls might have overtaken it if Lost Izalith and Bed of Chaos weren't the biggest pieces of shit ever.

 

[Eidan]

Paris in the fall. The last months of the year, and the end of the millennium. The city holds many memories for me. Of cafés, of music, of love, and of death.

 

[Sothpaw]

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn

Any other answer is just...let's just say poor taste.

 

[TommyT]

Final Fantasy Tactics

This is my second, but it's a sliver away from my number one: A Link to the Past.

 

[parkinho]

Tempest 2000 (Atari Jaguar)

I received this game alongside a Jag console, Cybermorph and AvP for Christmas '95. To be honest I knew hardly anything about it, except it scored 97% in GamesMaster magazine. I'm sure I didn't play it Xmas Day or Boxing Day as AvP stole the limelight, but I vividly remember firing up in my cold, dark, lonely room days later unprepared for what would happen next - an onslaught of colours, Melt-O-Vision (TM) graphics and techno tunes that left me spellbound. I played it regularly for the next 17 years until I finally sold off my Jag collection last Summer (sob).

I have never experienced the feeling of being 'in the zone' like I did with Tempest 2k, on one occasion I became so lost in the experience, in such a trance that I swear I felt like I was stood outside of my own body, watching myself from behind as I conquered web after web. Such an amazing, scary, unreproducible experience.

So yes, my greatest ever game is Tempest 2000!

[Dereck]

Damn it

 

[batman2million]

Ocarina of Time.

 

[Cudder]

.

 

[SpokkX]

This, quite easily

 

[Slappers Only]

So hard to pick only one.

 

[EloquentM]

Super Mario world 2: yoshi's island.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

I have the best experience with and memories from

But I also really, really like

But I played both of those when I was really young. So, out of fairness, I also have to mention

 

[Sanctuary]

Final Fantasy VI. Great music, memorable characters, and the best villain of all time.

This.

Although technically it's tied with SF2 (and all of it's iterations).

 

[pochepiller]

Clash of Steel
PC wargame 1993 SSI

here's a remake

[Gamester]

Quote for size

Two almost perfect games to me.

Can't decide between these two, but tend to FFT

 

[Blinck]

Shadow of the Colossus. It changed the way I look at gaming.

Forever king !

 

[Claneko]

Final Fantasy IV

 

[ledman]
