What's the best game ever made? Except civilization?

[Swedishguy]

I'll say it's Impossible Creatures. There's something really unique about that game. And I like the editor (it's basically the only editor for 3D games I can use).

What about you?

 

[GoodEnoughForMe]

Don't know... the ones I have logged the most hors on are probably Guild Wars, Super Smash Bros. Melee, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and the Madden Series. Mario games and Pokemon also used to get a lot of play.

If we are simply looking at greatest in terms of most important or significant, probably Super Mario Bros.

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I am sure Perfection will back me up on this one: SimCity 2000!

 

[Tykinruoka]

X-COM: UFO Defense/UFO - Enemy unknown.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with Sonic and Knuckles attached

Platforming bliss.

 

[Catharsis]

Ratchet. And. Clank.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I couldn't decide on only one.
I can't even decide on one per genre even ...

 

[Loppan Torkel]

Planescape: Torment, despite some flaws... but it's probably the most atmospheric game ever made.

Myth 2, Diablo 2 and battlefield 1942 were also great....

 

[Nerdking]

I've probably had the most fun playing RISK 2 (RISK 1 is possibly the worst game ever made)
But I wouldn't call it the best game ever.

How about Dungeon Keeper 2.

 

[Xtream_Rockstar]

GTA is all i have to say....

 

[Luckymoose]

GTA is all i have to say....

GTA games are fun but not the best game ever made. They are flawed and not pretty to look at.

I would say Jet Force Gemini.

I second that. I've played so many really good games over the years.

 

[Ultima Dragoon]

Alpha Centauri. It's so perfect.

If you put it into one per genre it becomes so much easier for me.

Action/Adventure: Outcast
First-person shooter: Half-Life
Fighting: Soul Calibur
Role-playing: Skies of Arcadia
Platform: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 with Knuckles
Simulations: TIE Fighter
Strategy: Civilization II

Hell, that was just a basic list without going into the specific sub-genres, in which I would have had a whale of a time

That said, that list kind of bemuses me - I started gaming in the early 90's with the NES and MegaDrive, but the bulk of those games were made in the late 90's/early 00's (what do we use for this first decade ). I suppose that was when I started really getting into gaming.

 

[Captain2]

using Kans list.... simply because I like order to my madness

Action/Adventure: Ultimate Alliance *technically*
First-person shooter: Battlefield 2
Fighting: Mortal Kombat
Role-playing: Knights of the old republic
Platform: Donkey Kong
Simulations: TIE Fighter (I had this game, didnt mind it, but generally dislike simulations)
Strategy: Rome Total War. maybe medieval 2 but that may just be because its new, want to see if it replaces Rome after two more months

 

[Kozmos]

Metal Gear Solid 3.

 

[thetrooper]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Hmm... Probably not the best, but the one I enjoyed the most. And still do.

 

[Azale]

If forced to pick, Secret of Mana for the SNES. Nostalgia FTW!

 

[FriendlyFire]

Ultima online.
(WOW players have no taste XD)

 

[IronMan2055]

Well the first makes all others possible so let's go with Pong.
