What is your very favorite game of all time

Title says it all. Mine is without any doubt Halo 2.

Begin.

I have to say either Spore, Smash Bros. series, Viva Pinata or Sonic adventure 2 Battle.

EDIT: Or Pokemon Black.

I would say Spore. For all its flaws, it's still an awesome game.

Probably Elder scrolls 4: Oblivion, or portal 2. Hard to call it.

Hmm, I think I'll probably go with GA -- I don't think I've ever been quite so excited about any other expansion pack, or possibly any game at all. The fact that I'm still using it counts for a lot too.

...But besides that, I'd probably give Mass Effect 2 the benefit of the doubt.

Either Star Fox Adventures or Metroid Prime.

Star Fox Adventures was basically just Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (also one of the best games of all time) except with Star Fox characters. And a cool story, and some arwing missions, and much better graphics. Oh, and dinosaurs. The dinosaurs definitely make it the best.

Metroid Prime is overall an extremely good game. The music is incredible and you never forget it. Every area of the map is unique so you don't forget any single room. There aren't too many cutscenes to interrupt the story. In fact, most of the story is not directly told to you. You have to read the lore that the Chozo have left behind for you and read all the space pirate logs to learn more about why you're there. It's not a standard first-person shooter at all. There are plenty of puzzles to solve, the enemies look freaking awesome, and the bosses are unforgettable.

Oh... I think I like Metroid Prime more. I just realized that.

Portal 2, Team Fortress 2 or the Monkey Island series. Either one of those.

Portal 2 has a very interesting story and characters, as well as a great co-op initiative. Team Fortress 2 has awesome characters (Maybe a bit steriotypical, but they work) and has great gameplay. The Monkey Island games have an interesting storyline/characters, simple gameplay, and it breaks the 4th wall quite frequently. Plus, I've been playing it since I was 7 or so.

I dunno which to choose. :c

I know that, it'll probably be ten times better. But Oblivion will always bring out that nostalgia freak in me, whatever I do in that game gives me fond(ish) memories later on

Except for those daedra spiders, those things suck no matter how you look at them :/

Yoshi's Island for me. It was the first game I properly played (the GBA version) when I was young, and I still love it. Seriously, I don't get why this game doesn't have as many fans as it should. It's a masterpiece. It's like you've got 80 or so tiny Metroidvanias.

Final Fantasy V Advance.

I've beaten it 11 times. Going for 12.

I agree: nostalgia FTW. And Daedric Spiders can get squished by the foot of Akatosh.

For Nostalgia, I'd have to go for Insaniquarium. However, all in all, Spore is probably my favorite (the Creature Creator itself is my favorite part of all). Plants vs Zombies is also great.

Oh man Insaniquarium. I loved that game.

Modern Warfare 2 forever!!!!

Mass Effect 2 is the best game I've ever played, made only better with the addition of Legion! I can't wait for Mass Effect 3!

I'd have to say either Pokémon Crystal Version (nostalgia and it's a great game too) or Minecraft.

Hmmm, either Portal 2 or Halo 2.

I almost forgot to mention Earthbound. First of all, it has nostalgic value, so that's an instant plus. Its graphics aren't that good, but they have a certain charm to them that makes Earthbound unique. The story is also pretty unique. First of all, the characters are sometimes completely random, which helps add on to the uniqueness of the game. At one point, you have to fight Mr. Carpainter, a man who has gone mad and intends to paint the entire world blue. You eat a piece of cake and are somehow transported to a magical, middle-eastern themed land in the sky. It can get kind of weird, so you have to think to understand it sometimes. There are practically no cutscenes and there is very few dialogue, so you are left to understand the story yourself. Some of the characters are so memorable that you will never forget them. Giygas, the universal destroyer who is so hyped up during the game but you never see him until the very end, where the atmosphere created by dialogue, music, and effects makes you pee your pants. At least, if you were young when you've played it. That part at the end is very creepy and I doubt I will ever forget about it.

Also, Earthbound has had a profound effect on stories found all over the internet. Any web-comics that feature a quest often follow the same formula as Earthbound: a main character brought by destiny to complete a task, soon followed by three companions. This happens a lot, even if you are not aware of it. In fact, my fan fic, The Odyssey of Beltuga, is following that formula.

If you haven't played Earthbound yet, do yourself a favor and go search online for an emulator. I use ZSNES.

The Halo series, especially Halo: Reach and Halo 2.

I also like Assasins Creed: Brotherhood as well.
