Whats the best game you have ever played on the pc or playstation/game cube/ xbox etc?

Im not really a gamer, i just like visiting messageboards more than playing games but my favourite game ive ever played is Resident Evil. Scares the bejaysus out of me, cant play it alone. Normally play it with my friend, she navigates whilst i do the controls.

only got to play silent hill once as it wasnt my game or my playstation and that was pretty freaky.

has anyone ever thrown up after playing Doom? cant play that now, threw up violently once after playingthat, it made me dizzy.

Just bought an old N64.................go Mariocart!!!

"welcome to mariocart"

for sheer trippyness I recommend Rez for the ps2, unfortunately I got rid of my ps2 when I invested in an Xbox, wishin everyday they will port Rez onto the xbox.

all i have are two psones. one that's unchipped and one thats chipped and only plays copies.

when my pc buggered up a couple of months back i got addicted to a game called Gauntlet.

The most ADDICTIVE game I ever played was Championship Manager Italia 94 on the Amiga. I had an Amiga 600.

i love playing CM on the pc, but as with all games i go through phases of "must play game". last time that happened i spent a week playing theme park world on the pc. given up on that now.

I've gotta say Halo - absolute fucking genius.....can't wait for Halo 2

PC: Golden Axe
PS2: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
XBOX: Halo

C64:

Turrican
Buggy Boy
Last Ninja I-III

Moved to "Computer Games"

Surely it was obvious it belonged here anyway!

GTA vice city is a favourite as well as Red Faction 2, and i've just bought Aliens Vs Predator for my PS2 and its not too bad

Im not sure i have an all time fave...but theres quite a few i really like...

Splinter Cell (PC)
Deus Ex (PC)
GTA Vice City (PC)
Final Fantasy VII (PS)
ISS Pro Evolution 2 (PS2)
Championship Manager 4 (PC)
Hitman 2 (PC)
Commandos 2 (PC)

Well theres a few.... :D

Rez Is Best On The Dreamcast, Which Just Happens To Be The Best And My Favourite Console

As For Game - You Cant Beat Shenmue On The DC

deus ex, deus ex, and deux ex

The finest, most playable, most infuriating, long-lived, psychadelic, barking mad game ever is LLAMATRON on Atari ST, by the genius Jeff Minter.

You can keep your snazzy Playstations, Gamecubes, XBoxs and PC's. Give me that ol' style early 90s stuff. :)

Unreal Tournament1
Unreal Tournament 2003

I am addicted to these games. I play 2k3 every day.
Keep yer eyes peeled for my review of 2k4 when it comes out in November.

Multiplayer Goldeneye on the N64.
It looks just like any other FPS but it kicks ass. I know hardcore gay I mnean play station geeks who went and got a nintendo just to play goldeneye.

Ooo, just dug out Street Fighter II for Sega Megadrive. What a game - if only they still made beat-em-ups this good.

Final Fantasy X
Half-Life
Deus Ex
All the Silent Hill games, they distrub me in just the right way.

Nothing can surpass the original Street Fighter II in the arcades, nor Shinobi.

I dunno, Streetfighter 2 Turbo on the SNES was the best console version made (and that includes the most recent ones, EX and Alpha) and I think it's equal with the arcade one.

As for best game I have ever played, it's a draw between Mario Bros. 3 and Mario World. I have bought them both on the GBA, and I'm completely addicted to them both.

Homeworld, the whole trilogy is so addictive.

HW2 mission 4 is a real 'blinder' but so worth the cash. 15 missions of destruction :)

Super Mario Kart on the snes was a cracker. Used to have lots of fun multiplayer games on that one....

I loved Doom, they don't make 'em like they used to. Never made me sick tho...

Got a thingy called Doom95, a front end to play Doom in Win95 I guess. Works with XP too, so with all the Doom WAD files I can play any version on any level.

As we say 'round 'ere "It's rete good..."

Also, Voyager: Elite Force. Its so bloody easy that its just a larf.

best game ever in my opinion is knights of the old republic. closely followed by deus ex 2: invisible war.

Half-Life - it was the revolution of modern gaming. From what Ive seen from Half-Life 2 Valve will probably cause another one.

you aint played half life 2 yet?? :P you really need to get up to speed on your "other" sources for games :P

OMG yes!!! I'd forgotton about that, classic game. Also on the ST was 'abombinaball', where you had to bounce a ball along dissapearing tiles to diffuse bombs, simple but hugely addictive and the classic, 'rockstar ate my hamster' where you were manager of a rock band, that's my all time fave that one.

XBOX
halo - great with mates over a lan
GTA Vice city - not even opened GTA3 in the double pack yet.
THPS4
Rainbow 6 on xbox live
and for retro effect Bubble Bobble on C64 or on mame.

psx - Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 2 and 3, Resident Evil 1 and 2, ridge racer, and Metal Gear Solid

sega megadrive - Landstalker, Sonic The Hedgehog

nintendo64 - mario64 (amazing gameplay), mario cart, goldeneye, zelda ocarina of time

dreamcast (my favourite console) - quake 3 arena (played this online pinging 260 to 400ms to US servers from NZ on the stupid PAL 33kb modem. because of it i got totally hooked on quake), soul calibur, jetset radio, shenmue, resident evil code veronica, and grandia 2.

ps2 - Gran Turismo 3, final fantasy X, tekken4, tekken tag tournament, onimusha

gamecube - zelda wind waker

xbox - knights of the old republic (this game is brilliant), and soul calibur

The game I consistently play is Ultra Freeze, which is a mod for Quake 3 Arena on the PC.

Playstation- Resident Evil- codename veronica
Playstation 2 - gta vice city
Nintendo 64- Goldeneye- the cradle on double 00 agent mode, what a bitch :P

Playstation: FF7 FF9 MGS + Legacy of Kain series
PS2: FFX, MGS2 Substance, Legacy of Kain Series + GTA series
PC: Worms Armageddon, Day of the Tentacle and Return to Castle Wolfenstein

I could spend all day listing others but there are too many faves to remember, if I had to pick an overall fave it would be the Legacy of Kain series (all 5 games)

Best computer game - probably Deus Ex. I loved the way every hurdle in that game had multiple soulution paths, so for once you got to play through a game exactly how YOU wanted to play. Made the game seem much more in depth, & added greatly to its replay value.

I also have a soft spot for Syphon Filter on the old Playstaion 1. Great game (despite the crappy graphics).

Favorite game of yesteryear : Elite.

playstation
medal of honours
syhpon filters

Call of Duty (excellent game and it includes Pegasus Bridge and some Brits for once)
Splinter Cell - I just love the ambience and clever use of light also the voice of Michael Ironside the baddie from Total Recall, very cool
NOLF2 I love the 1960's look and the campy spy spoof
In Memoriam - very unusual game which gave me some creepy moments
Alien v Predator 2

Ratcatcher spouted:

I think that's it

I can't believe Halo is better on the PC than it is on the XBox. At best I imagine it's a mediocre FPS that perfectly lends itself to console play.

Final Fantasy VII. Pure genious. You can tell I'm looking forward to Advent Children.

Other games high on the list....
FFX-2 (for pure fun value, once you look past the charlies angels thing)
EverQuest (actually quite boring a lot of the time but incredibly addictive)
Second Life (not really a game though)
Doom
Rez
Chrono Trigger
Most of the other FFs
Tiger Woods
Pokémon

Edit: I just remembered Megarace with Lance Boyle... that was class, I played on it for weeks on end :rolf:

Oh, and Skyroads. One of the first PC games I played (if not *the* first)... played for ages, top notch. Need to find that and put it on dosbox :)

Final Fantasy VII. Pure genious. You can tell I'm looking forward to Advent Children.


Too right. Best RPG ever IMO. VIII was a bit crap, and whilst IX was better. it was too much of a clone of VII.

I also can't wait for Advent Children.

:)

Ah, How could I forget FF7. Does anyone own the fairly rare boxed PC edition aprt from me and a few others?

PC

FarCry
GTA VC
Banger Heat (Banger Racing)
All Fifa's

PS2
Need for Speed underground
Tony Hawks Underground

PS1
Tony Hawks 2

I don't *own* it, no :)

Well it's not like it's possible to buy it nowadays. I bought all the other FFs since and including 7 for the PS1+2, but if you can't even pay money for the PC version wadda ya do?

It's ok for a few mins, good graphics compared to the PS once it's all patched etc... but it just doesn't "feel" right unless it's on the PS. No idea why.

PS1/2
Final Fantasy (all of em)
The legacy of Kain series (all of em)
SSX3
Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance
Freekstyle
