Fave video games

[Elijah_Morendale]

I ask this question at every forum I go to.

I'm curious as to what everyone's favorite video games are...

[Max Dirks]

I'm split.

Breath of Fire II (SNES)
Final Fantasy VIII (PS1)
Call of Duty (PC)
Tiger Woods - Current Year (PS2)
Metal Gear Solid Series (NES/GB/PS1/PS2/GC)

[Elijah_Morendale]

In this order:

The Guardian Legend (NES)
Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time (N64)
Ice Hockey (NES)
SMW2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
Kirby's Adventure (NES)

[Rigor Mortis]

ATM, or Overall?

if ATM, then:

Gears of War, hands down.

[Elijah_Morendale]

Let's go with overall, but if you want to do ATM, go right ahead.

[Letho]

In no particular order:

-Fallout 1&2
-Metal Gear Solid Series
-Morrowind
-Max Payne 1&2
-Knights of the Old Republic 1&2
-Final Fantasy VIII, X and X-2 (because the FF chicks are hot)

There are probably more, but these were the ones off the top of my head.

[Skylar]

Chrono Trigger is t3h 0wnz0r. It rocks all your 32-bit console games, hands down. Yar.

I loved Mario Kart on SNES too. Also enjoyed Parasite Eve on PSX, although I think one of my favorite games of all time is Super Smash Brothers. The original AND Melee. I could kick some Nintendo character ass.

[Blackjack]

^___^ i'm so happy to see Final Fantasy VII on other peoples' lists of favorite games. I usually hear they hate it. It's my favorite game too. Along side Kingdom Hearts, Fatal Frame 2, Naruto Gekitouu Ninja Taisen( in America it's clash of the ninja), sims 2 and guild wars.

[Reiko]

All Time:

Final Fantasy 6(3)

Chrono Trigger

Disgaea

Planescape: Torment

Harvest Moon games (but I don't have the patience to finish it)
Animal Crossing (Yeah, no patience for that one either, if not less!)
Civilization 3 (First Civ game I played, and I was hooked until some1 deleted it from my pc and then i lost my disks....)
Banjo Kazooie, 1, and 2 (I don't think there was a third)
DIDDY KONG RACING! (don't know why, but that monkey was so entertaining...)
Theres another game that i played until the very last dungeon that was too long for me to finish as a younger kid....I think it was called, Evolution Worlds?

[Elrundir]

Where do I begin?


Chrono Trigger
Super Mario RPG
Final Fantasy (Tactics, VI, VIII, IX - That's right, VII isn't up here. I liked it and all, as I've loved every FF since 6, but I don't understand why it's received so much attention that it's now being crammed down our throats from every avenue possible.)
Tales of Symphonia (I've played this game through more times than any other, without exception.)
Tales of the Abyss (The first game in a long time that could stand up to Tales of Symphonia, at least outside of my Holy Trinity)
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Ogre Battle 64 (Fantastic game that totally didn't get the recognition or popularity it deserved)
Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (Lots of hours spent!)
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (If you have a DS and haven't played this, I refuse to acknowledge your existence)
Kingdom Hearts II
Banjo-Kazooie (For some reason, this game reminds me of my childhood more than most others.)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Again, a large nostalgia factor is involved in here.)


Hmm, I'm sure I'm probably forgetting some, but these are the ones that spring to mind so I guess that counts for something in and of itself.

[Corvus MacCallum]

Heh my list could have been much longer and I might delve into the PS2, Cube and other such favs, its an old, old picture but tis me collection before it got hugely expanded by imports.

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l167/Corvusmoore/140_2.jpg

[Elijah_Morendale]

That's about how many NES carts I had at one point a few years ago...

My PS2 collection is a shame. Guitar Hero 1+2, King of Fighters '00-03 and '06, The Red Star, and Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

I am looking into Okami and Odin Sphere, however. Anyone here play those two?

[Reiko]

I am looking into Okami and Odin Sphere, however. Anyone here play those two?

yeah I forgot to put those on my list^^

Okami is probably my favorite zelda type game, I love it even more than Zelda. The art design and the personality really separate it from the clones. It's really just a fun game with some neat twists. Definitely worth getting.

Odin Sphere is great fun too, very classic gameplay. though you have to like fighting repeat bosses since most of them are reused, but at least they are a little different since many of the characters play with subtle differences (Except Mercedes who plays vastly different.)

[Corvus MacCallum]

Have yet to snag Okami just too expensive at the mo. I will point out one important game of my many in the PS2 collection.

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l167/Corvusmoore/100_0103.jpg

Berserk for PS2, one of the best bloody action games since Drakengard.

[Rith]

I forgot about Goldeneye 007 for the N64. I agree with whoever put that up there to remind me, that was was the fucking shit by far.

I'm still addicted to the SOCOM series though.

*Claps and jumps in joy* at the 2 new SOCOM's that will be released within the next year.

[Vamrsh Skylare]

hmmmm i'll put my 'all fav games i can think of off the bat' list up.

FF7,8,10,11,12
Star Ocean Till the end of Time
Halo2(xbox live)
DBZ budokai games
KOTOR 1 and 2
SW:Battlefront 2
Battlefield 2
Fable: Lost Chapters
Morrowind
Shadow of the Collosus

And plenty more but couldn't think of all of them :) I likey the gamies.

[AdventWings]

...Halo 3 BETA...

Say wut? Anyways...

As to avoid putting up all the good games I love to play, I'm just gonna name a few I truly must tell you guys the awesomeness of these games:

All-time Favorites

Honorary Mentions

* Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War (PS2)
* Pokemon series (Gameboy series)
* Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun: Firestorm (PC)

[Rith]

Ayeeeeeeeee Ace Combat!!!

Man, that game is awesome. I started playing the AC series at AC:4. I've been addicted since, and beat everyone within about 40hrs of straight playing time.

I may as well redo my favorite game list as I see more appear that I've forgotten about...

SOCOM 3
Oblivion
SOCOM: Combined Assault
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan Wa
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies
Goldeneye 007
Civilization 3
Cesar 3
SOCOM 2
Command and Conquer series
Starcraft

[streak101]

Oh jesus i frogot about Ace Combat 4...My uncle bought me that game, and i played it on every difficulty. I still can't figure out which games i'm missing yet...

[Nein]

Say wut? Anyways...

I've been playing Halo 3 Multiplayer for the last three weeks or so.

Bungie released a BETA test for several thousand players, and included the BETA in all new copies of the game Crackdown. It's a great multiplayer experience and I love what they've done.

[Atzar]

You all suck. No Fire Emblem?

Alright, mine:

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Amazing. The entire series (GBA as well as GameCube) is the shit. If you like RPG's or strategy games or both, get one.

Super Mario Sunshine. I loved this fucking game. I can't even explain it. If somebody had told me that a game with "Sunshine" in the title was going to rock, I would have slapped them.

Super Smash Brothers: Melee. Pick character, beat shit out of enemy. Simple, to the point, and addictive.

Civilization 3. They dropped the ball on 4 in my opinion, but 3 was nuts.

Halo 2. C'mon, you gotta love it.

I'll leave it at 5.

[Corvus MacCallum]

Couldn't enjoy Fire Emblem, too limited and one tracked, if you want a good full experiance with that kind of system, three words usually all in Japanese, Super, Robot, Wars. Apart from the two original generations for GBA all the games are japanese only which is a right bugger but fantastic games for the mecha fans.

[Raziel]

SOCOM II (paintball online was the best), but i play all of them online
FF VIII (7 made me throw up in my mouth)
Chrono Trigger
Metal Gear series
Grandia (still the best RPG ever)
Legend of Zelda both Link to the Past and Orcina of Time
Guitar Hero (havent found another game that is so addicting)
Golden Eye 007 (there is a reason why this game was game of the year 2 years running)

[Storm Veritas]

Hrm, where to begin?

Old School

Mike Tyson's Punch Out
The Zelda Games
Shadowrun
Goldeneye
FF Games before XI (which i simply haven't tried)

The New
Splinter Cell, PT, and CT
GTA Series
Guitar Hero
All Things Madden

My current cocaine
Runescape

Hopelessly freakin' hooked on Runescape. Dear Jesus I love that game.

[Saxon]

I actually never got uhh properly hooked to Runescape.. but hey, its free and has a lot of stuff to it, eh?

Recently played:

-Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity
-Okami (Great..GREAT game! Six stars! Out of 5!)
-Splinter Cell: Double Agent
-God of War II
-Psychonauts
- Marvel Nemesis: Rise of The Imperfects

All Time Favorite:

-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Arguably the best game ever to hit the N64)
-Crash Bandicoot Series
-Okami (was sad to hear that Clover studios disbanded awhile ago. No sequel?!)
-Psychonauts
-PoP Series
-God of War II
-Splinter Cell Series
-Ratchet & Clank Series
-Jak & Daxter 1-3
-Mark of Kri/Rise of The Kasai
-Banjo & Kazooi 1 & 2
- Fallout 1 & 2 (Com'nnnn Fallout 3! Be placed on the east coast or in Europe!)
- Marvel Nemesis: Rise of The Imperfects

Thats about it. Out of all the game systems I've had over the years, the Playstation 2 definitely supplied the bang for my buck.

[Death's Nephew]

F.E.A.R.!

Game is awesome! Really good stuff! Not as evolved as Half-Life 2, but F.E.A.R. came out first, so yea, obvious it wouldn't reach the same quality...but its just a tiny notch below it!

First person shooter with a horror flavor. I seriously recommend it to all fans of either type.

And don't forget F.E.A.R. Extraction Point! It's the expansion and it just adds to the great storyline! :D
