I saw some for the worst. So let's hear it. What are your favorite games?
Lunar: Silver star story
That has always been the first game to come to mind for me when I think of my favorite games. They had a great story line. And some of the funniest lines. The game had beautiful cinema scenes for it's time and I always love playing it.

Im crazy but I always prefered the Sega CD Version to the Playstation one.
I guess for me it would be either Final Fantasy 6 or Super Metroid.
There are so many games out there that I absolutely love, but if I had to choose one, as cliche as it might sound, it's gotta be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. That is one of the few games that I've beaten numerous times because of how much fun it is. That, and considering I was still a naive child not worrying about graphics or business deals or any of the things that might hinder some experiences now, it's one of my best memories. The game brought my cousins, sister, and me really close. So yeah.

I never played the sega cd one. But I really loved the playstation one.
The Sega CD version is ROUGH. You think the Playstation version is hard, just give the original a crack. I nearly stabbed myself in the balls.

I would actually like to try it sometime. But I doubt I'll ever get the chance sadly.

Wow, it's kinda hard to pick my most favorite...
I guess these would be my most played games:
Super Mario 3
Super Mario World
Crazy Taxi
Halo 2
These are the games that comsumed my childhood(except Halo 2, I was more of an adult then, i guess). But my all time favorite is Halo 2. Not because of the campaign, because it's pretty mediocre. The multiplayer is the best i've ever played and it was also the first. I went to so many LAN parties in high school at friends houses...it just made so many good memories. Hopefully Halo 3 will exceed Halo 2 though.

It's a toss up, either Devil May Cry or Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.
I used to love Zone Of The Enders 2 as well but I played it recently and it's still a great game but it doesn't stack up. DMC I beat recently and it did and RE 3 is still a blast as well even though I know all the puzzles.

Now that's a toughie...I'd have a much easier time if I could pick a favourite game for each console.
The first game that springs to mind, though? Battletoads for the NES. The pinnacle of 8-bit gaming, without question. Represents everything good about old-fashioned, side-scrolling platformers.

It's impossible for me to name my favourite, but Morrowind is definitely up there.

As always, I'm going with Symphony of the Night.
Ever since I began playing video games, I had always wanted to play a game where you're an unstoppable killing machine. SOTN delivers just that, and I couldn't be happier.
Once you get the Crissaegrim in that game, you don't even have to stop to kill things. You just go right through it. So amazing.

Resident Evil 2 was and always will be a favorite...and Half-Life 1

i think the game i've put the most hours into and could play hours on end without getting bored is the original Tony Hawks Pro Skater on the PSone.

Couldn't really say what my #1 favorite is. 3 of my favorites:
Super Smash Bros Melee
MegaMan X3
Ninja Gaiden 2

Yoshi's Island, Period.
Is it wrong for me to fall in love with the God of War series?

Killing gods, banging beautiful women, and more killing? Nope, it's perfectly normal to fall in love with those games. Who couldn't? ;)
I have to go with Super Mario World. It's perfect in every way.

I'm going to go with Suikoden. One of the best RPGs I've played and still one of my favorites to this day. Some of the series entries have been flawed, but I still love them.
Suikoden was an amazing series up to III. IV was pretty bad, and V...well, it was okay, but not nearly as good. I should play III again. I have nothing better to do.
Double posting, because honestly, who moderates this section? ROALZ!
My favorite video game of all time is, without a doubt, Chrono Trigger. I remember back in the day when I was a kid, I would come home from school and beat Lavos just for the hell of it. I rocked the junk out of that game. I also never got tired of playing it. I know that game inside and out. The game is so simple in gameplay, yet compelling in story. Ridiculous.

Plus Donkey Kong Country of course.

Rob, have you recently played DKC? I got it for Virtual Console and I was so disappointed. The game has aged AWFULLY. Lots of uninspired levels and boring bosses. DKC2 is tons better.
But yeah, Yoshi for president.

Its impossible for me to name one favorite game. I have these who are all sharing the cake.
- Killer Instinct SNES, it was so unique back then. It was even more popular than mortal kombat and the street fighters series. I can't remember how many hours I've spent playing this game with my friends.
- Resident Evil 2, I was so damn scared while playing this game the first time. But I was loving it, when a game is able to come and get ya inside like that, its priceless. Best resident evil ever ! Even better than Res 4, well in my opinion.
- Grand theft auto 3, one of the most addictive game I ever played. What else to say ? It was just one great and fun game. Saints Row was excellent, but the game experience wasn't the same.
- Starcraft, nuff said...
- Halo, nuff said...
I'll surely modify this list if I do think about games I prefered over these ones. But for now, these are my all time favorites.

Yeah, I was actually imprecise - I meant DKC as the whole series, not as the first game. I like all three games, but DKC 2 is probably the best one out of them.

I still love the original Donkey Kong Country. Recently I've been trying to get 101%, I'm only missing one bonus room. 2 was the best but it was so much easier to find everything in the game. The original Donkey Kong Country bonus rooms were so much harder to find.

Now would be about the time when most of the veterans of the boards would expect me to bust out my new and improved list of 30 Favorite Games. However, at some point it just became too difficult and, let's face it, pointless to maintain. That leaves me just listing the top 3, which have largely remained unchanged since the list's inception(sp). Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy IX, And MGS3. I want to throw Twilight Princess in there because I did at some point have to sit back and consider whether or not I liked it better than OoT which, again, has been unchallenged as #1 since the whole thing started. And that consideration is certainly not unwarranted in my mind. But something about it just doesn't feel right. Don't get me wrong, I thought TP was phenominal, I even liked the wolf stuff that everyone else hated. I can go on listing so many things from OoT's templated that TP made even better. But I think I need to play through it once more to be able to make a better judgement. It wasn't until after I played Snake Eater a second time that I decided to put it at #3, replacing MGS1/Twin Snakes.

Blah blah blah blah, are you done? You could've just made a list and leave it at that. No need to write a novel.

The only role playing game I like is star wars kotor, though I hear it's not much of a ture rpg. Love it though (I always play the light side no matter how many times I tell myself to try the dark side :roll: )
Paperboy nes - the first game I ever played and I still love it
megaman x snes - great sidescroller with 'cool' characters. x and zero just suck kids into the game imo. still love this game.
super mariokart snes - bowser all the time. I only wish they included more tracks. I'm a master at every one.
jet moto 2 - good old fashion fun
turtles in time snes
...
*looks at her signiture*
Oh, definately not the Kingdom Hearts series. Kingdom Hearts is crap! :P
I haven't really played that many memorable games in my time, but in all seriousness, I'd have to say Kingdom Hearts II and Okami. Kingdom Hearts II...I can't really describe why I'm so attached to it. It's not like the majority of the fandom who screams "OMG! AXEL/ROXAS SHIPPING! LOLZ!", but I just love the game for what it is. The game play is just great, the screen is just a marvel to look at, both as an artist and as a gamer, and the characters themselves (Disney or not) are just lovable. Except for Malificent... *shudders slightly* Also, it doesn't really require you to really concentrate on leveling like the original, and I'm a sucker for the "Nightmare Before Christmas" world. Okami...what can I say? Absolutely beautiful game, and, even though I haven't had a chance to play it in a while, is just plain entertaining. Besides, I'm playing as a sun god. I like sun gods quite a bit :)
Since I was fortunate enough not having the opertunity to play the originals of Donkey Kong or Super Mario Brothers, those are the only two that I can honestly say I enjoy playing. Although, I really intend to play them one day... *sighs*

I think my favorite scary game of all time would have to be Fatal Frame it scared the hell out me a few times and I am normally unimpressed by "scary" games. I like to be scared but most don't deliver. It did.

yeah both lunar sss and eb will have a place forever in my heart.
though my favorite up to this point is likely either shadow hearts or shadow hearts covenant. that's in the rpg department, anyway.

Man, this is kinda tough for me. Too many to list.
I love Street Fighter Alpha 3. Probably my favorite fighter (besides Marvel vs. Capcom 2). I am the champ, among my friends, in that game.
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is one of my favorites, as well as Ocarina of Time (of course). Chrono Trigger is another.
Most of my favorite games came from the SNES era.

My favorite RPG series ever as well. I like to do dark, then light, then I like to see what happens when I play through doing what I would normally do and see if I come out dark or light.
1 had awesome story, so did 2 and 2 had better game play just wish the ending in 2 didn't suck.

I played with a male and female revan in both games to discover the differences of the romances. I thought, in both games, if you play as a female, you get a pathetic romance. Bastila is by far the hottest Jedi ever.
Didn't like the kotor 2 ending either. I kept hoping I would get to come across bastila and revan.:x I wish they would have been in the game (more than a short cameo from basti)

The ending of KOTOR2 was butchered, because Lucasarts needed it pushed out the door for the holiday season. Terrible, and I loved those games so much.

I know I am dork/nerd/geeky, whatever you want to call me. I loved Tetris....I usually got to level 22 on a regular basis.
I played Tetris DX from the first day of senior year of high school, to the very last day of senior year. The teachers never told me to put it away, either. It was great.

Level one's at a truck stop filled with l-o-o-nely truckers.
Level two's in a public restroom along the highway. . .
