Best game of all time? Newbie

[jetski217]

Hi all,

I'm new here. I was having a discussion at my own forum the other day over which game was the best of all time. The feeling was America's Army was one of the better but then someone said FIFA. What's your take..since this is a more active forum?

[chron]

wrong forum

monkey island series was the best except monkey 4

[jetski217]

sorry...not sure where/how to move it

[glenbo]

i like these threads :P

i'd say shenmue...zelda ocarina of time or oblivion...probaly in that order.

if it is just pc games then The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for me,without doubt.

fifa is one of the worst for me lol! (im a massive pro evo fan)

i didnt like america's army atall either...its hardly battlefield 2 is it? lol

[jetski217]

Ya. I agree about Fifa. A lot of my admins might disagree about Army though... They are pretty hardcore about it.

I thought Pacman was the best game ever made. It was number one when it came out 26 and a half years ago and still seems to find its way onto everything from my 360 to my cellphone plus I think it might have been cloned more than Tetris if thats possible. Seriously though my favorite game changes from month to month, right now I've been playing some Battlefield 2142 and a little bit of Sid Meires Railroads but if I was to pick one game that I used most of my spare time on this year, it would be Civ 4. I guess Civ 4 would be my pick for best game ever even though I've had more fun playing games such Karaoke Revolution Party, but the novelty of these types of games wear off very quickly.


Here are the #1 games for certain systems reviewed by the pros as of 10-29-06.......

Sega CD= Lunar: Eternal Blue

I know I missed a few like the Atari Jag, Neo Geo, Colecovision, Intelivision, Atari2600 ect so feel free to add to the list.

Most popular game ever would have to be Space Invaders Part III. Wouldn't it?

BTW, Thread moved to the 'General Gaming' forum.

Half-Life 1&2 + expansions
BioShock
Total War series (Shogun, Medieval, Rome, Medieval 2 and expansions)

You can always notice the young ones in these threads :P

These kids these days dont know games! Back when I was a lad.......

[JoyBoy]

I recommend the following games from my near 23 years of gaming

Speccy - The Great Escape. Never did manage to escape mind you. Everytime I did, I was captured again. Was it even possible to escape without being caught?
C64 - There can be only one. IK+
Master Syetem - Alex Kidd in Miracle World. Although, Sonic 2 could tie it first. Actually so could Grand Prix. Hous of enjoyment out of that little racing game due to being able to make your own tracks!
Mega Drive - Too numerous to mention. Sonics, Streets of Rage, Street Fighter, Rock n Roll Racing, Speedball 2, Sensible Soccer, the original FIFA Soccer, EA/NHLPA Hockey. The list could go on and on. Loved this machine!
Playstation - Gran Turismo 2, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy 8.
SNES - Super Mario Kart.
GBA - Super Mario Kart.
PS2 - GTA3, Vice City, Resident Evil 4 and Gran Turismo 3. GT4 just didnt feel right.
360 - Bioshock, COD4MP, The Orange Box (all of it, if anything TF2 lets it down due to getting no support from Valve ) UT3 gets a mention as well, simply for being Unreal. Facing Worlds is perfect.
PC - Half-Life, Op4, Team Fortress Classic, Mafia and Deus EX

Overall, I gotta say the best game ever, ever, ever is, well, I dont know! If pushed, I would say Half-Life for SP and TFC for MP

[DABhand]

Ahh the Great Escape was very possible to escape.

You needed the fake passport, uniform, erm something else I cant remember think it was motorbike keys.
