Whats YOUR favourite game of all time?

Metroid Prime. Taught me the true meaning of "Immersion"

I'm not sure there WILL be a third installment. Ion Storm (the company that made the game) has long since shut it's doors thanks to their inability to make commercially successful games. Sure, Deus Ex was good (and sold well) but Anachronox (also a good game) never moved many units. Then you also have that whole Daikatana nonsense.

Unless, of course, another company has picked up the IP. But the (justifiably) poor reception of Deus Ex: Invisible War probably makes most developers a bit leery of the franchise.

Wow, how could you not know? I'm pleased to inform you it's due out this year, Eidos have the license, it's a prequel to the first game, with nanotech augments replaced by biomechanical augments. But it's still Deus Ex, nether the less.

Google it my friend, there is a teaser trailer out there somewhere.

Planetside/ Knights of the Old Republic

 

[Littaly]

Donkey Kong 64

 

[y8c616]

MGS series and final fantasy 7. Also Halo:CE is pretty high up there too; one of the first in a very long line of fps's this gen and last gen, and one of the only good ones.

1000s of choices

I would have to go with secret of mana for the snes

Elder Scrolls: Morrowind has to be my game of all time. Always seem to come back to it over and over again.

 

[curlycrouton]

Probably Warcraft 3.

I have to say my all time favourite is Pokemon Red/Blue. If you look at Pokemon and think "why is this so popular?" you probably missed out on the buzz when it first came out.

Nostalgia attack...
I know what you are talkin abou.
But it cant be the best game ever(and I regard all titles of the mainseries as the same fucking game!)...
That would be just...sad...
But there is no best game ever for me, actually there are only few games I really loved over the years.
The KH-series, Condemned, FF10, Shadow Hearts 2, Mario Kart...
But none of them really stuck out as THE game.

I can't believe no one has said Wind Waker... so I'll say Wind waker.

At this point in time, my favorite game is Chrono Trigger. I played it a few years ago on an emulator and had so much fun with it. Got a different computer since then, so I got it for the DS.

Shadow of the colossus was incredible and another of my favourites was Dragon Quest 8 on ps2.

 

[Protolandia]

It's a toss up between Diablo II and Half Life 2. Though, with Half Life 2, I actually dream in that game - and I get excited about playing it over and over because of it's intense immersion (best story and character involvement ever!). I think I secretly want to live in City 17 and run around with Freeman. But considering Daiblo is so fantastically different, it's just the other piece of my dark side that needs the medieval magic and far-off journeys.

Hard to say because I love so many games for different reasons. I'd probably go with Xenogears or Okami though. Xenogears has the most epic story out of any video game I have played, but Okami is so imaginative and innovative that is hard to forget.

 

[Shoyuu]

Will always be my favorite: LoZ: Majora's Mask. I think MM's storyline was superior/ more interesting than OoT.
My new favorite: LittleBigPlanet...the online play is just incredible.

 

[Blind0bserver]

Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 (I consider those two to essentially be the same game).

 

[deewank]

Mega man Is the shit and will always be the shit

Right now I'm pondering how Chrono Cross could have been... you know...good.

I really genuinely enjoyed Chrono Cross. The thing is that you can't view it as a sequel because that isn't what its meant as. Its a new story, and yes it involves a minor character from Trigger, but that doesn't discount the fact that it was a fun game. I know that people complained about the characters (the amount, and the annoying voices) but I thought that almost all of them were well fleshed-out characters with a lot of charm to them. The story was a bit convoluted but once I figured it out I thought it was superb. People were mainly just disappointed by it and I don't see why. It WASN'T Chrono Trigger 2. It wasn't meant to be. That doesn't mean it wasn't a good game in its own right.

My taste in games I play has changed pretty drastically over the years. A while ago I would have said Final Fantasy Tactics was my favorite, and its still way up there for me. I'm going to go with my current favorite game being Shadow of the Colossus.
