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.

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 )

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!

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. I wish they would have been in the game (more than a short cameo from basti)
