What is the best game(s) you have ever played? or just really liked for some reason or another.
I really like the game One Must Fall 2097. It has fighting robots, nice animations and songs made in screamtracker. Whats not to like?
I also like quake1 mostly because its the first fps I ever played. Brings back pleasant memories of gibafieng my older brother with a rpg. :3:
Command & Conquer :rocks: (enough said)

The best game I've ever played is Windows XP. I played it for countless hours, even right now I'm playing it! It has multiplayer support (if you setup your network card correctly). And the devs support it with thousands of patches that bring new features!
It even features subgames (games in a game) like Solitaire, Hearts or Flipper!
Only problem is that I haven't figured out yet what's the goal of this game.

Windows XP is not a game. It's just a level of a much greater game called Microsoft OSes (aka Microsoft Oozes). The goal of MSOS is the only negative point since it is not a bit innovative: It's the usual WORLD DOMINATION!

World Domination it is (http://www.pixelbeat.org/ms_mirth/MSWD.jpg)
But seriously, the best game? River Raid, when I was 6 :)

My favorite game was Grim Fandango. It was super creative and fun. I kept me playing for hours when I was younger!

Yeah, same here. A few favorites for various types of games would be a bit easier... :unsure:
Shooters... Doom I/II were always favorites, but I also like QII (because you can play regular game levels with teams, or play CTF against bots) and TFC (because you can be different characters). For some reason I always found QI somewhat annoying, and there's only a few maps in QIII that I like. Am probably just weird though... :D
Racing... NFSIII because we have lots of different cars and you can easily mod their specs (it also runs well on the two slower comps on our LAN).
Military strategy... C&C (RED ALERT) and Warcraft II (BNE), although I'd choose Warcraft of the two because I like the graphics, gameplay, and medieval setting.
Board games... Battle Chess. I know it's old and the animations are cheesy, but I prefer playing it (in 2D) because I can see computer moves as they're made, rather than having to figure out what's changed if I blinked when the computer zapped a move (as in the newer games).
And lately I'm having a blast with High Seas Trader, although I don't know how it will eventually rate among "best games" yet... :)

ufo: enemy unknown
This. UFO is the finest game I've ever played.
I love turn-based tactical games, especially in modern or science fiction settings. Not only does UFO allow you to recruit, name, promote, and upgrade your soldiers, but they gain rank/experience, and the tactical aspect of the game is rich, interesting, and also quite deadly and challenging later on.
On top of that, the detection and interception management is fun, and the base management is complex and satisfying, as well as rewarding, translating into new technologies, vehicles and gear.
A winning formula, with classic graphics that are still truly eye-pleasing to me today.
-------------------------
That being said, the most nostalgic game for me is by far Wing Commander. My parents bought Wing Commander for me for Christmas in 1990, when I was eight years old, and I lived and breathed that game (as well as Wing Commander II and the expansions for both of them) for years afterward.
At church on Sunday? Dreaming about playing Wing Commander when I got home.
At school? Drawing pictures of Wing Commander ships, and even sneaking in the blueprints that came in the box to show my friends.
At home on weekends? Doing chores as swiftly as possible so that I could start playing Wing Commander.
The original launch sequence animation and music give me goosebumps to this day.

Best game, period: Ultima Underworld 1, hands down. For sims: TIE Fighter, hands down :D Those two are the best games I've ever played.

Civ is one of my all-time faves. So many months of my adolescance was spent hunched over my PC late at night, ignoring schoolwork and girls...
Assassin's Creed, Deus Ex, Thief and Nonogrids are my favourite games atm.
And any SCUMM game.

I just left this and though, "time for some Covert Action". How could I have forgotten you? My love...

Assassin's Creed could've been so much better than what it was. Great atmosphere, controls, graphics, attention to detail, and I enjoyed the combat system. But the Animus thing distracted from what would've been better as a straight open-world version of Prince of Persia. The missions were repetitive and boring and the assassinations could've been more involved. I think the combat and my general enjoyment of that style and history was what saved it for me. I liked fighting a half dozen guards at once, and the gruesome counterattacks never got old. I felt like Miyamoto Musashi. I hope they make things more interesting in the sequel. The game would be a lot better with some more character interaction and a LOT more variation in quests.

:offtopic: ( - :mad: + :) )
Nothing beats the fighting system in Assassin's Creed, but yr rite - the animus was slow and interrupted things.
They did kinda need it to have the plot, else it would've been like dynasty warriors or something...
Hopefully the second one will make up, even more, for the convuluted plot device.
Did you ever manage to get the flag in the temple? On the pillar with no apparant means of access? It's the only one I haven't got...

I didn't really put a lot of effort in flags. I have the PC version with no achievements so flags mean absolutely nothing. I think they should've gone a completely different direction with the plot. Like an open-world action/adventure game where you simply play as an assassin. Add in some RPG elements. Keep the platform and fighting elements and just flesh out the adventuring and character interaction.

Tempted to say "Day of the Tentacle" but my real, REAL fave is Sam and Max!
Sam: I'm Sam. He's Max. We savagely protect the rights of innocents.
Max: Even cruelly twisted ones such as yourself.

This is always difficult, there are so many great games I've played over the years. But if I have to choose one, it would be Master of Orion 2

Noitu Love 2.
There are lots of them...
But my all times favourite will be... No, there are too many. ) And I hope there still be others in the future, despite upcoming regress in gaming industry. There has been done very much - pretty everything in games, so there is nothing left to improve. Only graphics and plot.

I think Fallout, Arcanum, Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age should be on my list as well :noworry: They all rock :ouch:

Well, Fallout was one of the first PC games I remember playing all the way to the end basically non stop (Well over the coarse of a week or so with stops to eat... oh and sleep, but not much) but Fallout 2 was better in almost every way and kept me up on the "Just one more quest" gameplay. Then again, as recent as Fallout 3 had me putting all my other games on hold just to get the s**tty ending... then again when all the DLC came out to get to slightly better ending and pew-pew inside a spaceship.
...So I'm going to cheat and say the whole Fallout series :3:
If I can't then... American McGee's Alice :doh:
