Best game you have ever played?

May be there is a thread on this, but I want to know.
What is THE best PC game you have ever played. Please, only ONE.

Mine is Freelancer.

 

Empire Earth.

 

Since I can't think of anything at the moment, I'd say Call Of Duty 4

 

So many choices.

I'm torn between Total Annihilation and Ikaruga.

I think I'll go for Ikaruga. Amazing game. AMAZING!

 

Hide Mr. Winky

OHHhhhh you mean video game *shrugs*?

 

Multi Player: Call of Duty 4
Single Player: Metal Gear Solid 4

 

If I can only list one:

Starflight

However:

My top three:

1. Starflight
2. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
3. System Shock 2

 

Alright, but only one.
Come on, if you don't have ONE in mind, may be there isn't a favorite.
Oh, and by the way, since this is a Notebook forum: a PC game!!!
Thanks.

 

KOTOR
TFC
DAoC (before the expansion).

 

umm red alert 2,bioshock and starcraft

 

Old school: Castle of the Winds (anyone else play this one?) and Age of Empires II

 

Baldur's Gate Trilogy (Fav. was Shadows of Amn)

 

HEY! Bias! Arcade games need loving too!

Ikaruga

In case you can't tell, you are invulnerable to attacks/enemies of the same color. You also do double damage to enemies of the opposite color. When absorbing attacks, you also charge up your "super attack".

 

World In Conflict enough said..

 

Baldurs Gate series for RPG

Half-Life series for FPS (gravity gun )

Empire Earth for Strategy

NFS: MW for Racing

 

Hack n Slash : Devil may cry series with no competition.
FPS : First it was Prey. then Bioshock came in so its now my fav! till dead space comes out, then i might change it

 

favorite PC game? that's easy, DUKE NUKEM 3D!!!!

favorite game of all time, i'm mxied between LOZ:OOT and LOZ:MM. i really enjoyed the dark story and innovation behind majora's mask.

 

EverQuest (when it first came out)

runner up:
SimTower
Diablo
Team Fortress Classic

 

Tied.... Fallout2, EQ1, and Privateer
(Freelancer is the unofficial sequel to privateer... good pick)

 

Cannon Fodder imo

 

DAoC and Lineage II

 

I would have to say Diablo 2. It was the first game I played with my dad, my little brother, and my cousin. Its not the best game ever made but I spent more time having fun playing it than any game before or since, it was a great family activity (along with You Don't Know Jack). Best game of all time RE4 although the computer port left alot to be desired.

 

World of Warcraft

 

Unreal Tournament 2004

 

Old school: Contra
RPG: Mass Effect
Online FPS: CoD2
Campaign FPS: Half Life 2
RTS: Original Red Alert

 

nobody else likes Deus Ex? The first one of course.

 

Let's see...
For multiplayer either C&C: Renegade or World of Warcraft (though I canceled my account until WotLK).
For single player, Blood or the Half-Life series.

C&C3 deserves honorable mentions in both categories as well, best RTS in a long, long time, if not the best ever. (Then again, I always preferred C&C-style RTS to Blizzard's. I thoughy WarCraft 3 was an absolutely terrible RTS.)

 

Company of Heroes.

Buldurs Gate on the ps2 a close 2nd.

 

Console: Shenmue, final fantasy 7, HALO1,2, skies of arcadia
Handheld: Pokemon blue lol
PC: Lineage II, Crysis

too many cant just pick one

 

ultima online.

/end thread

 

I think i'm going to have to say the Doom franchise.

 

star wars galaxies

 

well the game that i have put the most hours into is probably aoe2.

 

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth

 

I mostly like classics:
Dungeon Keeper II, being evil is so awesome
Monkey Island series, part III in particular
Dat of the Tentacle, I still smile when I think of that game
Diablo II, hack n' slay at its best
C&C deserves a mention, TS and RA2+addon in particular
Jade Empire
KOTOR

 

BF2? i haven't played too many games....

 

Alone in the Dark for 3DO.

And Call of Duty 4. Best FPS story of all time.

Everyone gets the idea that a favorite game or "best" game has to be a classic. I think it's BS. Call of Duty 4's story will be remember for a long, long time. What were these "classics" before the were "classics". Good games... just like we have now.

 

actually i think a favourite game has to be one that you keep on playing for ages, not one that you remember for ages...........i still play aoe2 almost 8 years later..........i highly doubt i will be playing cod4 in 8 years time.

 

F.E.A.R. anyone?!

 

I'm not saying you are wrong, and Age of Empires 2 is a great game... but Call of Duty 4 is one of the best games I have played. Opinion, not fact.

 

X-Com UFO Defense

 

its 100% opinion.so no one is wrong

but after about 6 months...cod4 has just got repetitive...........i still play it at lans, but we play with very restricted weapons and perks.........where team work is essential rather than just a public server where its a massive free for all.........

after 8 years i still get a couple of aoe2 games in a week.......online games are all completely different........with random maps, and random civs......plus an awesome group of mature people, its just an awesome game to play. especially when you meet regulars and you play enough games with the same people to learn their tactics.....its just got something that cod4 doesn't.

 

Windows Solitaire for sure.

Actually, I'm going to go with KOTOR.

 

I hated that game, it was like one of those new horror movies that used loud sounds/flashes/bangs and screaming to intimidate you, I played it for 4min, still own it, don't play it.

Now HL2, although I'm only like 1/6th through the very first one of the Orange Box, its superior to any of those atmospheric types.

 

I agree with you there, Jeff. AoEII is one of those "timeless" games. Call of Duty 4 may never be a tactic, but the story will be remembered. I think the online gets pretty repetitive, but I have played through the story countless times, and still love it.

AoEII= Classic, Fantastic Game
Call of Duty 4= One of my favorites

 

Battlefield 2 + Battlefield 2142
Still think they had the best multiplayer...if only they would come out with a newer one.

 

8 years of counter strike

 

I just finished the german campaign of Blitzkrieg (the first one). I know it's an old release, but I just got it and it's pretty good, but it gets a little redundant. I'm disappointed that there are no quick battle random type missions, guess I'll have to check out the map editor.
Good game if you like RTS's, but it's hard to find (domestic, not imports).

 

^^will definately have to have a look..........tahts the sort of game i like.

is it similar to sudden strike?

 

Still Starcraft
