Probably homeworld or supreme commander for me.

FPS's are entertaining, and I particularly like both far cry and crysis, but RTS is where its at.

I don't like Mario games. After SMB they sort of ran out of decent ideas so we ended up with a water cannon and that bloody Galaxy game.

I'm not going to get into any debate as to who is better (other platform game serials are bound to be mentioned soon).

Conker is similar but I prefer it because it has a sense of humour beyond a communist going down the drain whilst on a mushroom trip. That is a value judgement and cannot really be discounted.
I've always preferred (good) FPS to platformers.

Anybody remember the original Gex for 3DO/Playstation

Yeah, Homeworld was great, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 were also favourites of mine. I spent months with BG1 - I had to use a vocabulary as I'd just started learning English at school... I picked up hundreds of new words and phrases I wouldn't have learnt at school.

I like the Elder Scrolls series, Morrowind is great. My computer isnt good enough to run Oblivion but I may get it for the 360 some time. Am getting Assassins Creed and COD4 for xmas so hopefully they'll be good :)

Not sure what I'd say the best ever is, but Goldeneye 64 is a classic. I really liked the Commandos series as well, I never completed more than 2 levels on Commandos 3, it was stupidly hard.

I'll say Quake. There was  a Red Baron game back in the early 90's that was a lot of fun.  :)

Ah, remember the days when games had points???

My favourite old school jam is still DEFENDER II; my son and I have an ongoing competition between Defender II, Paperboy, Gauntlet II, and Robotron.

:D Nice topic !

For me, Cannon Fodder was a hoot. Quake 2 kept me amused for hours. FarCry was simply outstanding but to long, Half Life 2 rocked as did Baldurs Gate 1 [ in some ways this RPG has never been beaten, But if i`m pushed then i`d have to jump for Oblivion. I lost 6 months of my life on that & didn`t get anywhere near completing it !  :P

For me it would be Neverwinter Nights - and it is also the most value due to the fact you can download hundreds of modules.  I got it when it came out and i'm stil playing it now.

As far as online multiplayer games go - i know thousands of people love Counter Strike and CS:Source, but for me Medal of Honour : Allied Assault is the best multiplayer game around. My brother and i have played it almost every day for many years, and it still amuses us to no end. (and yes, we are very VERY good at it - my brother holds the record - 83 kills in 10 minutes)

Best game I played recently was Portal, really cool concept.

As for greatest game of all time, Ultima Online? Quake 1? Its a toss up between those two as they both hold very fond memories for me being 16 years old and the internet had just come out back in 96, I know online gaming is so common now but these games revolutionary. Kind of nice to have been able to experience that, nothing even comes close anymore.

For real real old games Pac Man is still king, followed by Defender - but Berserk is worth a look if you can find the MAME 32 rom for it on the net.  I remember playing it when it came out for as long as my coins held up.

I reckon my all-time choice for best game ever, in terms of nostalgia and gameplay, will always be Wizball on the Commodore 64. Sensible Soccer on the Amiga was also a massive massive part of my young life. :)

I don't have a console or a game-capable PC myself these days, so the only game I play regularly is KSirtet (Tetris clone); but sometimes at my brother's house I'll be dragged into an hour or so of Winning Eleven or EA Skate when the guitars get put away and the beers come out.
