Favourite game of all time - Page 4

I reckon I could name a top 10 if I had to, but there would probably be 9 games in joint 2nd place as I can really only name an outright winner, it'd be much harder seperating the rest. I can say for sure that Mafia, Call of Duty 4, Dead Rising, Deus Ex and Bioshock would be in it, just off the top of my head.

I always feel like I must have missed something massive in Mafia. I always meant to go back to it and kept putting it off and off and off and in the end it's now so old with so many other games that it will have lost that original appeal.

I really hate myself for doing that sometimes.

Some good games listed above. I would say Flashback is certainly up there. For a platformer the slickness of the moves that you could perform really sold it for me. Half-life was another one that really kicked things off. Still to this day the number of shooters that come out looking pretty but has bugger all story line is shocking. Which brings me nicely to deus-ex. I loved the way that you could perform the missions in different ways.

Then we come to C&C, for me this really was excellent. It was the mixture of music, fmv and being able to control units. Never played a game like that before and certainly I still find the original Red Alert fun. GTA as well with the top down view. Great fun with mates. Especially where you were running away and suddenly found an instant gang in a populated area.

edit- Streets of rage! How did I miss this? I can do the second one in an hour on hard. I'm working on hardest.

The more I think about this the more I keep wanting to change my mind!

Speedball 2 - Brutal Deluxe, Xenon 2 Megablast, Gods and Magic Pockets were firm favourites but they're from a different era of gaming.

I know in my top 5 I have: Half Life, Max Payne, Max Payne 2 but after that I don't know what I'd have!

My unsorted top five would be Half life, Max Payne 2, Baldur's Gate II, Red Alert and Deus Ex.

What a hard question, I have a few favorites but I'm not one for playing games to death and will rarely play adventure games twice if I have completed them.

My favorite of all time has to be Little Big Adventure it was the combination of exploration and puzzling and the cute 3d graphics

Others on the list:

Oblivion
GRAW - I really like GRAW because its not just mindless violance you actually have to think strategicly about how you are going to tackle a situation and maybe play a senario a few times.
Theif
FF7
Gran Tourismo
Baldurs Gate
Neverwinter Nights

Flashback, Another World and Fade to Black were all amazing games. I only noticed last week that Fade to Black is available to buy on the PSP for £3.50 last week and got all excited, then thought it's probably better to leave it as an amazing memory. Same for Flashback and Another World.

Streets of Rage 2 would definitely feature in my top 10

And Baldurs Gate 2. Fantastic stuff
