Best Video Game You've Ever Played?

In order of time:

Contra

FFVII

Diablo 2

Uncharted 2

COD Modern Warfare 1

Then stopped playing video games because I became a dad and priorities changed.

However now I help my oldest with COC & CR

A Link to the Past.

Yep.

Other good ones. Ocarina of time. Perfect dark. Mario bros 3. Some others...

I never played much after about 2005 and never myself purchased a system past N64.

Civilization. Mostly CIV 3. Spent a lot of hours on that thing, very addictive.

cliche choice but ocarina of time was definitely my favourite

OoT is a great game but Majoras mask tops it imo.

Best cooperative two player arcade game of all time:

Rip Off

From the late 70's, very hard to find, probably very few guys remember it.

Super Mario Bros. 2

Civilization. Sid Meier is the reason why I never went into academia.

Wing Commander from same era was pretty pretty good.

Wing Commander was great. That was $200 well spent.

1. Star control 2

2. Age of Empires 2

3. Half Life Series

Honorable Mention: Quake 3 Arena

The best part is these games all have a second life via fan support or Steam. I still play these games from time to time.

Star Control 2 was opensourced and is now called The Ur-quan Masters. Fans ported the whole dos game into windows support which is awesome. The story was amazing and having a whole galaxy to explore was groundbreaking. That and melee was the bomb.

Unbelievably AOE2 is still getting new releases nearly 20 years after it was first released. I still find it a challenge and I love that so much new life has been injected into it.

Everyone knows half life and quake 3 if you know anything about pc gaming so nothing more to say there.

As others have said, Metal Gear Solid is one of the all time greats...3 is the best of the bunch in my opinion, but all are candidates for the GOAT

I can't believe no one has said Track and Field, the decathlon like game circa 193-1985. When the bar owner found out a bunch of us med students ran track, he bought the machine knowing we would all be there every night. He was right. Got pretty darn good at it.

Gotta be kotor 2 or the OG Dark Souls

I played Castle Wolfenstein in 1981 on an Apple machine.

Too awesome.

Banjo Kazooie

Diddy Kong Racing

Nuff' said.

I really enjoyed Prince of Persia and Prince of Persia II back in the day. Those were fun.

Four pages and no one has mentioned HALO ?!?!?!?!?

HALO

HALO 2

HALO 3

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was four years old playing this with my dad! Thanks for the memories and cheers to Putt-Putt!

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo. I never played games as a kid (way too ADD) but played this with my girls when they were very young. It led to many other PC based games for them, educational and otherwise. They both now work in the gaming industry. one is a writer, the other an artist.

Although my favorite ever is Final Fantasy X. I still listen to Tidus' Theme and To Zanarkand when I want to relax.

Super Mario World

Civ 4+5

Civ 4 was really something else with all the expansions.

TF2 is a classic of multiplayer on the PC

Halo 1,2,3,xxxx all great.

Starcraft 2

I really enjoyed Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and more recently Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I love RPGs.

Final Fantasy Tactics is my only favorite not mentioned. Turn based RPG where every battle is like a giant chessboard. Good story and lots of fun wasting time leveling up everything.

My gaming career went from Atari, Com. 64, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, some PC and Play Station, 4 kids and then Wii U.
