What is everyone's #1 favorite game and why?

[Dprime]

Age of Empires II. Never ever stopped playing it. Just the perfect RTS.

 

[Snoopster]

Mass Effect, because I'm a sci-fi nerd, and like an overprotective mother, I deny any and all flaws it may or may not have.

do you like the halo series. you sound like the kind of guy who will defend it to the grave or tair it to shreds for being a trecharous bastard son of a corporation
(ignore my previos, it should have had this qoute)

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

X-COM: Earth Defense. That is the best game I've ever played.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Right now, it'd have to be Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A darkly emotional storyline, beautifully designed areas, fantstic gameplay, and a strong soundtrack all culminate into one absolutely amazing game.

Mmmm... yes. Majora's Mask is #2 on my list of favorite Zelda games, only falling behind Link's Awakening. (Due to it being the first video game I ever loved) I think it's tremendously underappreciated. People always talk about how Zelda games need to "try something different" and "evolve" and they apparently missed this game, because it totally proves the flexibility of the series.

 

[Armored Prayer]

Banjo and Kazooie. First game I ever played and still my all time favorite

 

[hopeneverdies]

Zelda Wind Waker, the cel-shading just adds to the atmosphere, I did love sailing, the score was well done with the Great Sea and Molgera being my favorites, the new tools and the Wind Waker work really well, and the world is just so... Big, and saving Zelda was only really used for the last half hour or so of the game, no checking on Zelda after Ganon disappears does not count

 

[Yegargeburble]

I...I can't choose. There are just so many. Right now, though, it is...a tie?

Between Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Condemned.

Condemned because it is the only game to actually scare me a bit.

Fire Emblem is because I like that type of game.

 

[Zeraki]

The original Mega Man X for the SNES. It has great music, excellent game-play, and some of the coolest bosses I've ever seen in a video game.

 

[Amarok]

Gosh I'd have to say it's a close match between Half Life 2 and Abe's Oddysee

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Saints Row 2, the longest I lifespan of any of my games. As soon as I get it tomorrow off a friend, I will be back on it.

 

[McNinja]

Mass Effect or Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox. Mass Effect because it had a good story and great ending, and anything with weapon/armor customization i instantly like.

Ninja Gaiden because once I got the hang of it it was hella fun.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Tsukihime. It just barely counts as a game, but given how much I love the story, that's good enough for me.

 

[THEMANWHOIS]

Final Fantasy X. I don't know... I just love that game so much.

 

[SargentToughie]

Star Ocean: The second story, no question

I've said it countless times in the past

 

[ChaosTheory3133]

Recent memory: Persona 4

All Time: Hard to say... I've got fond memories of Gears of War, Grandia, and Beyond Good & Evil

 

[Doitpow]

I'm gonna put it out there and say Yoshi's Island.

Not as bad as mine. Kirby Super Star. I think I've completed that game 100% at least five times now. There's just a lot of fun games in that, well, game.

I salute both of you. as for me...Hostile waters

Also you konw that game in kirby super star where you collect the things he can transform into...i'm always one short...can even work out which one it is.

 

[mac173]

Well, I don't play console games anymore, so my favorites are all computer games. Overall, its LOTRO. Second right now is Warhammer Online. The RvR is becomming addictive in the speed and constant action of the battles. The fact that you can walk out of RvR areas and take a break makes it the best.

 

[axlr4]

ethier starfox adventure(dont know y) or krby super star snes
or knigdom heart sires( kh1 is the hardest wright?)

 

[Owned by 3 year olds]

Half Life is up there pretty high,but I'll go with Majora's mask.The best underappreciated game ever.
