My most favorite game of all time has got to be tf2, I have almost 800 hours put into that game lol
another one of my favorites is command and conquer. I love most of the series,if played all of them.Whatever you do, do not play the fourth one, thats is the most terrible game you will ever play.

Star Wars, awesome game, got me into RPGs which subsequently lead to me playing DnD and then making a whole bunch of new friends which in turn has taken me from a depressed, sad sack of a guy to someone who's fun to hang around with.

Ooh, this is a tough one. I would have to say Psychonauts. A good combination of fun platforming, humor, and awesome plot. Man I wish I still had that game.

Easy. God of War, hands down. And up for that matter. II and III are pretty near perfect, I think I have more fun with III though. Anyway, so III and II, then I. Then Ghost of Sparta and Chains of Olympus is my least favorite of the series.

But I know there are a lot of glaring holes in my gamer history...hopefully I can fill those up in time. =^^=

Oh sorry, I forgot my why. Because Kratos is a bada**.


Ha, but really. For me it works perfectly, has a wonderful balance of fighting techniques, platforming, completely awesome villian/creature design. I like that you can button mash, but learning combos is so much more fulfilling. The environments are fun and just when I think I'm getting bored with a place it changes.

This is difficult. All in all I'd have to go with Earthbound, as I can replay it once or twice a year and still love every second. Lufia 2 is a close second, and I'd put Tales of Symphonia at third. I don't play a whole lot of current-gen, as you might guess.

TF2 - only game I've ever played as much as an MMO. Amazing class balance, tons of new additions to the game that are never 'game breaking' and always fun. This game never disappoints.
Ultima Online - first MMO I ever played and play for years. This game was amazing till Origin killed it. The sheer adrenaline I used to get for murdering innocents and gaining a bounty on my name was amazing.
Everquest - my first truly "addicted" MMO. This game was called Evercrack for a reason. Literally days into nights spent playing this amazing social experiment.
World of Warcraft - 7yrs and I've maybe not played it a total of 5 months. Nuff said.
Fallout 3 and NV - close second to TF2 to being the only game series to envelope my days and nights so utterly. The best post apocolypic series ever made. Hands down.
Skyrim/Oblivion - Almost as good as the Fallout series but for me just a step behind because of some serious flaws and the fact that it's an a saturated genre (Fantasy)

Final Fantasy series - I love them all, faults and all. A few of them I've played through multiple times some I haven't, FFT being my hands down favorite of them all.
Lunar 1&2 - Easily my all time favorite RPG series. First played on the Sega CD it was a marvel playing a game with anime cutscenes and full voice acting in the scenes. I fell in love with Jessica the first time I laid eyes on that kitty-girl goddess.
Xenogears - Yet another one of Square's masterpieces that will live in my heart always. Such an amazing storyline with great gameplay. Consider that I'm NOT a fan of ANYTHING mecha, for me to love this game is a testament.
Suikoden Series - very close second to FF to being my all time favorite RPG series, these games had something to come back to time and again. I bought the entire Suikoden 3 manga and played the game so many times. Collecting hidden characters was never boring in this game.

*This is just a list off the top of my head, I'm sure there are hundreds more that would fight for my top favorite games.

FFIV is glorious and I love it. I was trying to be concise, but yeah pretty much all FF games in the numerical series minus MMO's and VIII.

If it's okay to have more than one favorite then:

Spyro 1-3: This was my friggin' childhood right here. The apex of Sony platforming.

The secret of Monkey Island: Probably my favorite point and click game of all time.

Super Mario Bros: Because it's Super FUCKIN Mario bros. Nuff said.

This is really, really tough. Someone already said KOTOR, but I'd ammend that to KOTOR II. Same awesome game, but with an awesomer (though unfinished) story.

But I'm going to have to go with Chrono Trigger. It was my first epic jrpg, and still my favorite. It's the game I've bought more than any other game, and any time I install an emulator onto any sort of electronic device, it's always the first game to go on.

My god, Chrono Trigger! I still haven't beaten that game. Hey I'm at the Sand boss right now, what level do my guys have to be to beat him? Also, what's the best line-up?

Skyrim. I have logged 400+ hours on that game.

After that I'd have to say either Wizardry or Empire. Both are so damned old they are the beginnings of their respective genres, but they hold a very special place in my heart.

I assume sand boss is Retinite? Under the area Fiona wants to plant a forest? If so I used Crono/Frog/Ayla. 3D Attack his core, kill it. Then Water 2 him to lower his defense, 3D Attack, repeat. I killed the legs first, I think, the sand vortex is nasty. Also if you let Ayla or Frog get low on health, you can Dino Tail/Frog Stomp for super-high damage.

Also, Magus is a magic powerhouse but has no 3-attack with Crono in the party. You have to have him and two others, plus the corresponding Stone accessory to allow the 3-attack. Generally you can do just as well without him in the party, using Lucca or Crono's endgame magic for stupid damage (though Crono with a Rainbow hits like a truck, so there's that too).

Thank you! And I assume level is unimportant due to the techs I would have to all-ready get that far?

Purely from game mechanics, this is not the best party. Especially since there's only two of them, and it's a three party system.

But in terms of sheer awesome? Yeah, that wins.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Great characters, engaging story of politics and hatred, and I never get tired of the gameplay. Love those grid battles, the job system, monsters, bosses, secrets, all of it. Such a wonderfully deep game, both to play and experience.

Shadow of the Colossus: This game gives me a sense of peace as well as melancholy, wrapped up in a bundle of awe. I feel so tiny approaching the giants of the earth, but the world itself dwarfs your character, and the ambiguous narrative gives me much to think on. It's not just one of my favorite games, but also one of my favorite little stories.

I wish I could replay this game just to take down the flying desert colossus again.
