Your favourite game of all time. Ever.

Post by Companion Cube »

So, in your opinion, which game (any genre, any platform) have you enjoyed the most? Personally, i'd go for Deus Ex, the graphics may have been poor but the way it created an immersive world, and the way it gave you the illusion that you could change it, was, IMO, amazing.

Deus ex would have been fine....if they had sorted out the bugs involved in it and dying...often I got lumbered with equipment from a previous life I could neither use nor carry....it really screwed up my enjoyment of the game

The best game of all time is, of course, Tetris.

My personal favorite would probably be Final Fantasy VI.

A tough choice indeed, the game I played the most would easily be Super Mario Bros. followed closely by Starcraft, but I had a lot of fun with Tetris and Arknoid.

Star Control II
It's one of the very few games that I've actually finished more than two times.

Your statement is false. It is common knowledge that Soldat is the Best Game Ever.

"Hitting People with Foam Weapons"... oh, video game, hold on... tricky

THERE'S TOO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!

However, since you didn't specfy that it had to be a comupter game ("(any genre, any platform)") I'll go with Necromunda by Games Workshop. Every gang is different and with a half decent GM a campaign can go on for ever and never get boring!

Easy. The games of the Quest for Glory series. I got square eyes playing those and snatched up the next game as soon as it came out. I can still go back a play them.

Ah, I thought I was alone in my love of QfG. I was sad to see the series end, especially when there was so much more that could have been done with it after the fifth one. :(

Yeah, I don't buy Sierra games anymore, largely for that reason.

Gundam: Journey to Jaburo is rapidly becoming the most addictive game I've ever laid my hands on. Getting the 'S' ranks is turning into an obsession, and the Tactics Battle Mode is a veritable orgy of beam rifles, machineguns, and explosives. The graphics are sharp, the AI is decent, and the controls are fluid.
