Best single-player campaign: Ratchet and Clank (Shadow of the Colossus and Katamari Damacy being a close second and third)
Current Generation: Mass Effect or Fallout 3

 

[Spitfire175]

NWN. Gothic 2. Crysis. Morrowind.

X-2...bad??? That is a load of rubbish. No one liked it because it was too girly. I, however, looked past the large amount of females in the main story and found what was an engaging, fantastically told story and one hell of a fluid combat system. X-2's combat system was my favorite next to VIII. It was quick, clean, no-one was fixed to one spot which was nice, fafing around in the menus meant you would get shafted by the fiends you were fighting and, of course, I still had my lovely sweet random battles....*reminisces*

Squeenix bring back random fighting...please...?

Spoiler

Not to mention those two songs have stayed with me for life. Play it or look up on youtube Real Emotion (2.30 ish) and 1000 words (4 mins) the game ones are better than the extended ones and believe me when I say that those songs inspired me to keep going in life

to be honest i think the reason people say X-2 is crap is because it IS crap...
nothing to do with being girly. it lasted no time and the story was balls. searching for dead tidus...
but i'll agree that the other FF games are awesome.

My vote goes to Jak 2. It was a very challenging game but it was challenging in exactly the right way. The challenge made it a very intense and rewarding experience.

Half life 2 and the Episodes are the best single player experience ever devised by humankind.
And if you say differently, I will crowbar you in the soft patch on the back of your head

agreed exept i also am a fan of the zelda series so those are right up there also

FFVIII

and fanboyism aside Gears of War is entertaining on a completely different level.

i know i kinda agree with that. there's a lot of people that bum those games but even ignoring that, they're really fun! i still enjoy a dabble.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Of course Half-Life is always a good choice, but I think I'm going to go on a tie between System Shock 2 and Deus Ex.

 

[EspadaL]

I quite enjoyed cod4 singleplayer

 

[Hitman 43]

Dead Space and Resident Evil 4. Brilliant games.

 

[Bureacreative]

MORROWIND!

 

[Daedalus1942]

In most recent memory, either Killzone 2 or Resident evil 5.

Yeah, FFVIII & FFX-2 are great. I'm glad to hear that someone else likes them (as they are often maligned). I do miss random battles too, so long as the encounter rate is set properly. Seeing enemies on-screen has made games way too easy. And the ATB system is still fun (in X-2 it seemed to have been sped up a notch).

X-2 was too girly at the beginning, but it quickly became one of the most easily enjoyable final fantasy game (for me).
Anyone who bitches about it kind of annoys me, because I thought the story was at least better than FFXII.

Gran Turismo anything... it never ends

 

[WittyName]

The campaign for bioshock is pretty amazing.

Either this or FFX for me.

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Mass Effect a lot of depth and side missions.

 

[ExplosionProofTaco]

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (with both their expansions) on PC. NOT Console Baldur's Gate games.

This man speaks the Truth.

I, like many, MANY people loved Knights of the old republic. I'm replaying it right now. Maybe I will lean towards being a Mother Theresa Jedi rather than baby eating one this time.

Wow, I used a zero punctuation reference. That's a first for me.

But I thought Mother Teresa ate babies... How confusing.

call of cthulu: dark corners of the earth. immersive and creepy.

If I am being honest, most games today haven't engrossed me nearly as much as the original KotOR did, I can recall playing that consistently for -many- hours a day.

I don't know if I am just going through the onset of early 30's syndrome or what, but nothing today holds my attention for that long. Mass Effect came very close, but even that wore thin much quicker than KotOR every did.
