My favorite video game would have to be Grand Theft Auto. That game is so addicting, and the storylines are pretty cool.
I also like Call of Duty, but I'm pretty bad at it.
Video games wouldn't have bad effects on children if they were playing games that pertain to their age. For example, a 7 year old wouldn't be playing Grand Theft Auto.

It is hard to say but I think the game that had the biggest impact on me was Everquest in its early days (up to Scars of Velious) before Sony ruined it.

I just got an Xbox 360 in November and I love Batman Arkham Asylum. I can't beat the stupid Joker at the end though and I decided not to try Arkham City until I beat Asylum. Regretting it now lol. Guitar Hero, Lego games like Harry Potter and the Sims are also favorites.

My favorite video game of all time would have to be Resident Evil 4.  I have probably played it a thousand times and am still not sick of it.
Title: Re: Whats your favourite Video Game Ever?

Probably any of the Call of Duty games.
Title: Re: Whats your favourite Video Game Ever?

I don't play video games that much, generally I watch other people play more often.
As a kid, I very fondly remember watching my older brother and sister's boyfriend of the time play Redneck Rampage on the computer for hours.
I like playing sim games mainly. The Sims themselves for example :)
As well as Oblivion and all the Fallout games.
Also music games, like Rock Band, cause everyone can play.
Resident Evil is sometimes fun to watch, and Left for Dead, but I can't play them 'cause I don't like things jumping out at me lol I get scared.

But favorite? Probably something like Jak and Daxter :P 2 or 3. Or maybe Gun (a western game), 'cause it was pretty and I was pretty good at it.
Title: Re: Whats your favourite Video Game Ever?
Post by: lvstephanie on January 25, 2012, 08:44:15 am
Wow, tough to say.... Some games I enjoy because of nostalgic feelings, like I remember popping in quarters into the dorm's Ms. Pac-Man machine. Some games I just enjoyed the play, esp. if it was different each time you played: I loved the Roguelike games like Nethack, Ragnarok, and more recently Elonia. I can still waste several hours with one of those roguelikes, even the ones I've beaten before since each game is different from the last. Probably the modern ones that I enjoy the most are from the Elder Scroll series: Morrowind and Oblivion (I have yet to get Skyrim, but that is on my list for the near future).

Post by: Notorious21 on January 28, 2012, 07:33:22 am
Going somewhat old school on these 2 but I've always loved Bad Dudes and Godzilla Vs. Mothra.  Bad Dudes just cuz of it being like Double Dragon of sorts & Godzilla cuz you go to every planet fighting monsters. Only sad thing is I could never save.  :crybaby2:  Got all the way to the last planet in Godzilla which I believe was called 'Planet X' and I had to go somewhere so I had to shut it off.  Totally not cool.  But those 2 and I just thought of another one.  Jaws.  All 3 for the original NES.

My favorite game is Modern Warfare 2 on Play Station 3. It has an intense single-player campaign, deep competitive multiplayer selection, the graphic is incredible and it has a couple of cooperative missions. I could really say that I just love the Call Of Duty games but MW2 is my favorite probably because I haven't had the chance to really play MW3 like I would like.

My favorite video games have always been the "old school" games like arcade games, Atari Frogger, NES Super Mario Bros., things like that. I am also still a fan of the Nintendo 64, some games of the PS1 & Nintendo Gamecube. There's some fun games on the Nintendo Wii & PS2 as well, but my loyalties lie with the older stuff. I'm classically trained.  ;)

When I was a kid and had an atri I liked pac man and frogger and donkey kong.  But I don't play video games on a game system anymore because I don't like the handheld controlers but with a atri it was a joy stick and I could manuver it these new controlers to me are confusing and have to many gadgets on them.  But I do enjoy computer games and I play them alot. All time favorit is all the Jewel Quests, than I also like  all the luxor, bejeweled, zuma and games like these. When my son was a child in elementry school I got him a comuter game that was fun and he would also learn math and stuff like that in order to move to different levels I still have that game and it is at a fourth grade level and I teach my husband how to read and do math with it because he can't read or write but these types of games have helped him even if he doesn't know it.  I am sneaky hehe  ;)

So a while back I posted Streets of Rage... Still takes the cake.  But I was recalling the one time in life I owned a Mac as a child and I played Oregon Trail and the CLASSIC Darwin's Dilemma.  I was actually so fond of that silly little evolution game that I was recently searching it on line.  I found zero means as to how to play the game.  I would LOVE to be able to come across a modern day version designed for PC.  Such a challenging game.  Never beat it and I believe a few years ago I finally trashed that old Mac.  Kept it for a shade under 20 years just to throw it away right before I recall one of the greatest games ever.

If you can't tell, I'm into extreme nerding when it comes to puzzle and strategy games.  This is a 28 year old that knits and plays sudoku for fun lol  So my taste in games I'm sure is pretty lame compared to most.  Loved Frogger for Atari.  Once they modern'd it up, I found it to take away the class in classic.  Don't get me wrong, great for this generation that has been spoiled with awesome graphics, but I appreciate Atari, Sega, and Nintendo.  And of course Fall of the Foot Clan - TMNT for Game Boy.  =P

Classics!  I bust out my Nintendo to this day to play Donkey Kong.  I give you props.  I can't stand Mario Kart.  Maybe it's because I can't handle my 8 year old owning me in every single game.  I'll admit it, I'm a sore loser when my child is the one beating me hahaha   I'm only 28, I should be able to win the occasional game.  My dad beating me was the last straw.  Haven't touched it since.  lol

I've had a lot of games I've liked in the past but my absolute favorite will always be Chrono Trigger. I love the older RPGs and that one had so many aspects to it that made me play it over and over. Since it came out for the Nintendo DS, I've been playing it a lot again, especially since this re-release came with bonus stuff like an extra dungeon.  ;D

Being form an older generation than most of the people on this site I am more into the retro-games and the days of stand up, kiosk-like, video games that have cup-holders for your beer!  We have a bar in Denver called the "One-up" that is loaded with these games: Ms. Pac-man, Burger Time, Joust, Tron, StarWars, Centipede, Galaga, Popeye, Beer Tapper,Tempest and full-sized Jenga(to name a few). My favorite is a tie between Ms. Pac-man and Galaga.  I can rule both games for about forty five minutes.

One of my all time favorite games is grand theft auto. I enjoy the freedom you get in a sandbox game. Also the city of grand theft auto feels so real. (talking about GTA4). Even the personality of the people in the game is so realistic. I am so stoked for grand theft auto five to come out. But knowing the people at rockstar it will be a couple years until its out even though its been announced.

Thank you!  I hope you had a great one too.  I went to that link and had to sign up for a bunch of stuff, so I didn't want to have a paid premium account to play it.  But I did find a site, have it downloaded on my computer, but I can't get it to run.  I downloaded the application that makes Mac games work for PC and it won't recognize any of my commands.  I think I may have given up lol.  My last step is talking to a buddy of mine that is a computer programmer and ask him for help.  I'm still thankful for the link since it definitely sent me in the right direction.  Now I just need to figure it out!  I guess I'm not as computer savvy as I thought!

Of all time, I'd have to say Tetris.  A close second is Millipede. Tetris is so addictive, easily you can lose hours hypnotically.   ;) ;D :peace:

Tetris all the way I can't believe the hours I would spend on that game. Once I got to the really fast levels I would get so tense and focused.
