Its not that Final Fantasy 8 was bad, but it was a weak follow up to the greatest game ever created, Final Fantasy 7

i have played and beat FF7.... its a wonderful game but if u think its the best of all time...then u never played system shock 2

if u did.....then you would know FF7 is far from SS2.....

then again SS2 was grim and scary and terrifying ...and FF7 was cartoony and bright n colorful....maybe thats your thing

i have a few friends who hate FPS... just like i hate any kind of racing car game

so there really is no ONE greatest game....as we are all differenct
 
TIE Fighter

It's hard to just pick one game, but if I have to choose one I'd go with TIE Fighter. FIrst game I bought with my own money and it was the first game I played where I was actually the "bad guy." It made me fall in love with flight sim games and it gave me control of the first thing I loved about the Star Wars Universe - the cool looking ships. I still enjoy playing it through DOSBox.

My runner-up's
KOTOR
Red Alert
Diablo 2
Final Fantasy 3/6
Chrono Cross
Any FPS by Valve (but mainly CS and TF2)
 
Old school: Wizardry (on an Apple IIe)
Old school console: Tecmo Super Bowl
Command and Conquer (console and PC)
Battlefield 1942, 2
KoTOR
 
Zelda II : The Adventures of Link on the NES, I musta beat that game over 10 times, Always fun fighting my shadow at the end of it.:p
 
Jagged Alliance 2 : i never had played a game so many times as this one...
Warcraft 2 : first game i ever played...
Metal Gear Solid (series) : simply i just love the story and action..
Red Alert : mostly caus of the soundtrack...
Devil May Cry : make the sickest COMBOS!!!
MECH WARRIOR 2 : this game still kicks any other MECH game!!

one of the best enjoyable game on this moment :
DISGAEA (PSP)
i havent enjoyed a 2D rpg like this in a long long time (SO DAMN FUNNY!)

+++ Tie fighter i hate space flying games in general. except Descent Freespace 1&2
. but that was a great game..
 
In no particular order:

best 5:

loom - play the game then play advanced mode w/ just your ear...still unmatched!
wing commander - amazing game + brought me into PC geekdom w/ my boot disk
wolf3d - UNbelievable in its day
UT - lived the obsession 99-01 (the 01-04ish and still play sometimes)
portal - a triumph of writing and gameplay in a "FPS".
 
xcom 1/2 ( still played to this day )
Wing Commander 2 ( rest of the series was ok )
Final Fantasy 7
Finaly Fantasy 3/6
 
I've always thought it was tough to determine the 'best' game. What I try to do is, think about what games I've had the desire to play most/replay the most.

1. Everquest
2. Baldurs Gate 2
3. Half Life 2
4. Baldurs Gate
5. Battlefield 1942 (Desert Combat mod)
6. NFL 2k5
7. Super Mario World
8. Resident Evil 2

Guess it could be more fleshed out but a general idea.
 
Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising with the IC4 MOD.

Yeah, I know it is an old game but with the WAC scripting language for custom maps anything is possible.
 
Wasn't expecting this many replies. Definitely giving me some ideas on what I should play next though. Thanks everyone! :D

The best game experience I ever had was with Starcraft. At the time, it was a sort of first for me. It allowed you to make your own maps rather easily, and it featured addictive, rather fast paced game play. At the time FPS's just werent as cool or as interesting as they are now either, so I have to say, Starcraft was a sort of 'holy grail' at the time. Im not saying its the best game ever, but it is up there after all, and at the time, it was #1. Thats the game that got me hooked on RTS's.

Otherwise, if I think back to high school, I would have to say the experience I had with Mortal Kombat in the arcade was pretty cool. I was never a street-fighter fan, but MK had what counted for a 16 year old... blood, killing, photo-graphics, twitch-nerve gaming... I remembering being the first to master Sonya (what other guy would want to master the chick after all? but I saw this as an advantage) at that arcade and owning people in person for money in competitions. That experience is pretty hard to beat.

Best game ever? I dont think its been made yet. Im waiting for the point where my three favorite types of game merge into one style: FPS+RTS+Sim/Driver/Pilot. We are coming close to that now with Battlefield, but I think it can go one step further... making what are now NPC's on battlefield's map into controllable characters like with RTS games, but where you can change the scale from the 'god' POV down to controlling a single character like a FPS. You can set up the strategy for the whole board and then in between assume play as one of the individual characters on the map from a FPS POV to make sure critical operations take place, or to turn the tide of what would otherwise happen in a RTS by assuming command of that helecopter, or flying in the B2 bomber yourself to make that accurate bomb strike. Managing a whole team might be a little much, but having a team of a few others at a time vs. a few others on the other team would make it fun. This sort of scaling tactical sim where you could assume global (Sup Com) scale operations all the way through FPS/individual vehicle control (maybe a 'Full Spectrum Warrior' scale in between for squad command) will no doubt happen at some point in the future, and make for one heck of a gaming experience. Assuming control of an individual vehicle, getting killed, and then respawning would be determined by what units the buildings are putting out. Imagine not only telling a space marine where to go with his squad like all the rest, but then actually becoming that marine, trading your MK7 armor for some terminator armor, a cyclone missile pack, dual flamers, and then taking over a land-raider tank, and then being on the front line as the genestealer horde advances against you in a FPS format. That would be quite the experience! WW2 shooters where you are storming the beach for D-day wouldnt hold a candle to this sort of setup. The NPC units you dont directly command would scale their hardness/skill based on the XP they earn from the time you do spend on them one on one, or from the experience you gain for your army as a whole... so in a way, it would be a sort of roll-playing game as well. You could tell the army what buldings to construct, and where, and how to harvest resources (most likely just capture points for resources), and then spend most of your time flying around in a heavy bomber just picking off new enemy buildings, or becoming an sniper and picking off the enemy's commander over and over again.

Seriously, I dont think we have even touched the tip of what the 'best game ever' will be.
