What is the best video game you have ever played?

Paul Riley · 07-22-11, 06:27 AM

Quite simple really,we all like video games here,but which was your favourite game of all time?,and we all have them.We werent all playing SH3 back when we were kids

For me,hands down,no question about it was the absolutely legendary unbeatable XCOM Enemy Unknown & XCOM Terror From The Deep for PC.
For those that are unfamiliar here is a brief description of the series:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-COM

I still have the original discs and may even buy a second hand PS1 from Amazon just to play them again,as my old PS1 naturally died after all the hammer it got hehehe
God bless XCOM

Cheers

Just recently grabed X-COM: Enemy Unknown off steam, one of my old favorites, but i think theb est of all time for me would have to be Fallout 2.

oooh,a classic,I have all three.Fallout 3 is flippin brilliant

You played Crisis too?,just got a bit tedious towards the end.
Dont forget Splinter Cell Chaos Theory too

Splinter cell has been fun, but crysis was a bit disappointing. Then again I prefer shooters like Rainbow six used to be, before this vegas nonsense.
As for fallout, 1 and 2 are greats, fallout 3 was meh, new vegas is a bit better but still in the meh territory.

Yeah,the Rainbow Six games were good,in fact most Tom Clancy games are good,from a tactical view of course.
Do you play the Sid Meier games,like Alpha Centauri and the Civ series?
Alpha Centauri was amazing in its day,and Civ 3 was great,Civ 4 not so good due to the comic like graphics,and I dont think my system could handle Civ 5.
I am currently waiting for Elder Scrolls Skyrim,from what i've seen I may need some extra tissues at hand

OMG! what about Deus Ex?! that and XCOM were my favs! (how could I forget this legend?!)
The new Deus Ex (Human Revolution scheduled for late 2011) looks promising too.

I'm sure you missed End War right?
Glorified rock-paper-scissors costing me 50$

Anyone here like hitman?

From the same era:
The Command & Conquer series.

How in the world could I ever forget that.

I spent hours upon hours playing the first one.

For me on the PS1 my favorite without a doubt is final fantasy 9. Played plenty of good games in my lifetime.
Zelda Ocarina-Majoras-Wind waker are brilliant.
Vampire Slayer mod for HL1. That was always fun with friends at around 1am at a LAN party. Lights off, headphones on, screams and laughter ensued.
Heaps of other games out there that I love

I think the best flight sim was Janes WW ll fighters now that I got it all modded out and it will run on a 20 dollar machine all day long.

SH 4 is a top notch subsim and SH 3 with the S-boote mod is sway cool.
Played Metal of Honor series and Brothers in Arms, Aces High 2 online was something else.
