What's Your Favorite Video Game?

[jayson18]

Hey everybody,

I recently caught a few ads on Spike TV for their upcoming Video Game Awards (it airs Dec. 14th but I'm not sure what time, check out their website if you want) and thought to start this thread to see who everyone thinks should win the award for game of the year. Maybe we could tally up the replies here and then compare them to which game actually wins that night? It might be cool too to send these results to Spike TV after we're done, especially if our favorites aren't on their list. So I'm going to dig around and try to find a way to contact them too.

Here's this year's choices from Spike's website (if you don't agree, just put down your favorite):

Burnout 3: Takedown (Electronic Arts)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Rockstar Games)
Half-Life 2 (Vivendi Universal Games)
Halo 2 (Microsoft Game Studios)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Konami)

Also, what's your all-time favorite? (I'm predicting Super Mario Brothers and CS will top the list here.)

Thanks everyone and I'll keep you posted on who wins in case you won't catch it.

Snake Eater. GTA's doesn't give you that tingly feeling inside after you beat it, like MGS 3 Does.

[NaiLed]

FF7
FF8
FF9
FFX
MGS2 (haven't played SE; it will probably be way up there when it's out here)
GTA:SA
POP: WW
PES4
Mario Kart
Mario 64
SC2
Goldeneye

true, i just play GTA to kill people and stuff. i don't bother about the missions as much (although for some reason i found the missions in SA more fun than the previous games)

[iKillburger]

favorite rpg: Chrono Trigger(combo magic!)
favorite action: Ninjai Gaiden(xbox)(because ninjas can kill pirates anyday)
favorite 2d shooter:Contra(u,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,b,a,select,start)
favorite puzzle game:Tetris(because the voice in Tetris worlds iss so sexy)

Hands down, Super Mario Bros. 3.



Hands down.

[Verthanthi]

oh, we're not just talking this year.

Super Metroid. After that, enix stuff and seiklus.

I always thought Super Mario World was better than SMB 3 (That's Super Mario bros, not suck my balls).

What about Halo 1 and HL 1 ? Surely they should be up there somewhere.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manhatten Project
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:Turtles in TIme
Tecmo Football
Metal Gear Solid
Earthbound

[Blindmonkey21]

favorite 2d shooter:Contra(u,u,d,d,l,r,l,r,b,a,select,start)

And you play continuum? wtf?

WoW coolest game right now

Best game ever I am going to have to agree with Pan is TMNT:Turtles in Time

[Saturn V]

Donkey Kong Country games for SNES.

Oh yeah, and Killer Instinct. I loved that game. It was so easy to piss off the newbs with 20+ hit combos because they didn't know how to break them. And then piss off the guys that knew about combo breakers by doing 6 to 10 hit combos that couldn't be broken. Hooray for auto-doubles.

Rare did some good stuff in the mid 90s.
