My personal favorate is the Lengend of Zelda, I own every game(yet i dont have an original nintendo)

Then probably my next favorate is Fire Emblem or Advanced Wars, the gameplay kicks ass in those two

I'm stuck between Zelda and Metroid

The Civilization Series of course. :p

Thief.

Gta

yeah, civilization is an awesome game, I was addicted to it for like 5 months, just like AOE(age of empires) those cpu games are so addicting, like crack. not that i do crack or anything.

The Mana series (Secret of Mana, which is one of my favorite games EVER, Legend of Mana, etc.), the Final Fantasy series (even though some of them suck, like VI and X-2), the Super Mario Bros. series (Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES is my favorite game EVER), and the Legend of Zelda series (even though I only like three of them: the orginal Zelda, A Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time).

Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series

Quest for Glory.

Blizzard.

I'd have to agree Final Fantasy is up there, and I loved the original Bard's Tale games. Of the more recent series, I absolutely love the Total War series of games (Shogun and Medieval. Rome looks awesome).

Baldur's Gate (PC only... that horrible one that came out for consoles sucks)

Final Fantasy (not counting Legends, and all of the crap spin off games), Zelda (excluding Wand Of Camelon), and Metroid.

I am not real into the FF series, i dont like RPGs that much. Well, except for the Mario Golf RPG for GBA.

!!!

Final Fantasy is nothing compared to the BG series!

Oh, i forgot about the Sims, that is one of the most funny games out there. It sounds a little girly, but IT KICKS

Wolfenstein has got to be mentioned, even if I'm not a fan of shooters.
For me, it's Final Fantasy.

I love the BG series too, but only the original Child of Bhaal storyline. Never kept up with it after that.

If only Planescape: Torment had become a series of games...*long sigh*

Just got to say that the Total War series is amazing so far. Each successive game has me wasting more time due to its increased depth and atmosphere, the latter trait being quite pronounced in Shogun. As a result, I'm going to attempt to resist buying Rome, which looks like the sort of game I wouldn't come out of for years.

The Child of Bhaal is the main story throughtout BG1 BG2 and BG TOB

Yes Medieval Total War kicks ass.

Although the Total War people stole the idea behind Lords of the Realm 2.

Then they cranked out a sequel (total war) before the long time in the making lotr3.

Civilization kicks @$$.

So does Bauldur's Gate.

And the Myst series has to be one of my all-time favorites, though I admit it's a less accessible type of game than what most people here have suggested.

EDIT: And though I only own the original, no game brings out my demonic tendencies quite like The Sims.

Sorry, I was thinking of the other Black Isle games like Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, etc...

Those are the ones I never picked up.

i am suprised noone has mentioned dioblo

Oh... well Icewind Dale wasn't developed by the geniuses of Bioware... (THEY made the BG series for PC)... they made Neverwinter Nights... which was more of a multiplayer thing than a single player campagin (which wasn't too bad...)

And KOTOR also kicks ass... but Bioware has forsaken the PC.... and I am saddened. They sold out to the massive profits ofthe consoles.

i am suprised noone has mentioned dioblo
I'm suprised that you do bible boy. :p

i am suprised noone has mentioned dioblo

Ah... I can't deny that it's addictive. Long-live the Solo-Werewolf Build! ...And Hammerdins... they're fun, too.

Golden Sun series!
ohoh!
Sonic series!

I'm suprised that you do bible boy. :p





I feal sorry for you all, i pity you undereducated people, I am 12 years old and more faithful and pure than you will ever be.


and btw, You kill the devil in diablo

Yah. With witchcraft and/or magic weapons. Whats your fave character? The Necromancer is mine.

If only Planescape: Torment had become a series of games...*long sigh*


I'm kind of glad that they didn't make a sequal to Planetscape, I feel that they would screw it up in a sequal. Not that it would be bad.

Whats your fave character?

I like the Paladin.

An understandable concern, but I think there was enough room for improvement... of course, it would have to be done right. That would mean keeping the story just as amazing as the first. A tough job, but not impossible IMO.

i like pallys also, and pallys are christian soliders

Yah. With witchcraft and/or magic weapons. Whats your fave character? The Necromancer is mine.

I'm anything but subtle, as such I love playing the Barbarian who smacks evil across the head with his BFH.

i like pallys also...

The only character that can strike down demons with the hand of god.

But yeah I just notice that most really good games, get horrible sequals. For instance DMC2.

Megaman!

Castlevania!

Castlevania!

Are you counting the N64 Castlevanias?

Megaman!


MEGAMAN RULES!, i used to run around shooting nerf guns at people and shouting, I AM MEGAMAN!

Are you counting the N64 Castlevanias?

No. NES and SNES.

no one has said halo either, wow, Halo, its a funny name, o that halo

Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series

My life is over; Letila and I agree on something. ;)

no one has said halo either, wow, Halo, its a funny name, o that halo

Halo's not a series yet. Give it time.

No. NES and SNES.

Yeah those were awesome.

Command & Conquer deserves an honorable mention, at least.

Command and Conquer is my favorite. RTS's are the only games I play.

Well,

Might and Magic
Heros of Might and Magic
Both Pre 3DO that is!

A surprisingly fun game was Age of Mythology! I hate to say that Microsoft actually did a decent job.

Diablo

WarCraft

Ahmmmm?

Steel Panthers.
Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles.
Steel Panthers III: Brigade Command.
Steel Panthers: World War 2.
Steel Panthers: Modern Battle Tank.
Steel Panthers: World At War.


Anyone?



<<deathly silence>>

well, think I have to say that I really liked zelda and mario.

tho, ffvii is prolly the best game I ever played. such great story on it. to bad they had to finish the game hastely, might have been even better if they would have pushed the release date 6 months. can't say ff is best serie cause I have played to few. ffx was nice, but you had not much choice where to go. that i didn't like. ff online was a real disapointment. could have been so damn great if they wouldn't have made kind of oped and fixed group to exp in a decent speed.

Gosh dang this is a tough choice.

Civilization
Grand Theft Auto
Ultima

The Civilization Series of course. :p
i made the mistake of giving the husband the original civilization game for xmas one year. i barely saw him for 6 months
if i had divorced him i could have named sid myers as co-respondant

Command & Conquer deserves an honorable mention, at least.
Only because of Red Alert 1.

Anyone who likes the Civ series by Sid Myer (not sure I spelled the last name right...) recognize the Pirates game? I think that game single handedly accounts for 6 months of my life. A newer version is in the works and should be out by the end of this year.

With the exception of 2 and wind waker, Zelda games have exponentially gotten worse. However I don't think that any zelda game could ever take Zelds 2's title of worst zelda game ever away. Wind Waker was a step up, not by much though.

Metroid has always produced golden games.

Mario, definitely not.

Sonic Spinball sucked and ruined Sonic's chance for glory

I stopped playing Battletech/Mechwarrior/any other mech system games a long time ago because they were too repetitive.

Sports games just suck in general, with the exception of super dodgeball and basewars but those were never made into a series. It's much more fun playing the real thing anyways.

I never did get a chance to play the latest PS2 Castlevania. Why? Quite frankly, I didn't want to.

Resident evil is mostly gold with a little added shit.

Final Fantasy reached it's peak with VII, although six was also great, if only they had better graphics. Although I never did get to play X-2 or XI. I didn't play X-2 because X-1 sucked so badly. XI i draw the line with having to pay monthly installments for playing a videogame. That's just too damn nuts.

Turok has exponentially gotten worse, no exception.

GTA ranks 1, VC, 3, and I never played any other GTA game. Generally they're all good in my experience.

I've only played The Elders Scroll 3, but if the other Elders Scroll games are anything like that they should be gold.

Warcraft has been exponentially getting better that I've noticed.

I’ve never player Worms 3D, but Worms is just funny as hell.

Tenchu is nice and golden, but combat controls suck.

And that's all I can think of for now. So as of now Metroid takes the cake.

I remember that pirates game. It was sweet.
Red ALert is no Tiberian Sun. I think I heard that their making a new one in the Tiberium story line too. That sounds awesome.

Does anyone here like the sims, because i think I am alone on this one.

Steel Panthers.
Steel Panthers II: Modern Battles.
Steel Panthers III: Brigade Command.
Steel Panthers: World War 2.
Steel Panthers: Modern Battle Tank.
Steel Panthers: World At War.


Anyone?



<<deathly silence>>
Yes! Yes! Yes!
SPMBT & SPWW2 is my favorites. I also like Age of Rifles.

I'm all about strategy games. So I like SimCity and Civilization, but also RTS games like the Command & Conquer and Warcraft. Being a big soccer fan I also like the EA FIFA Soccer games.

hmm medal of honor series is good

im gonna have to go with the 2d zeldas

Does anyone here like the sims, because i think I am alone on this one.


The Sims is great fun. :) I've all the add-ons but for Vacation and Making Magic.

As a kid I would have said Sonic the Hedgehog, but no I'd prefer to go with Paradox Entertainment's Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron and Victoria series. Fab games. Check them out at http://www.paradoxplaza.com

Hmmmm I would have to say civilization or Metal gear Soild

Meh... anyone can pull off a sci-fi rts... but a what-could-of-been scenario of WW2....

The only reason I sorta liked Tiberian Sun was because of the gates and laser walls...

Love EU and HoI. :cool:

YES! IM NOT ALONE!, the sims kicks major arse, Especially "Bustin' Out"!

What about the Descent series? I got the demo for D2 on a demo disc, got the full version, then D3, and finally D1.

Hmmmm I would have to say civilization or Metal gear Soild
good choices that I'd have to agree with...however, I'd have to add SimCity, and GTA...

However, there's just no competing with Rainbox Six.

Total War series is awesome, RTW shall ruin my grades however... :(

C&C series was good too, but in my opinion EA kind of... hmm... I don't know, I just didn't like RA2 or Yuri's Revenge as much as RA or TS.

And when Halo 2 comes out, I'll add the Halo series to my list.

Oh, i forgot about the Sims, that is one of the most funny games out there. It sounds a little girly, but IT KICKS

My brother and I have the game! Both of us have our own versions and our mom reserved The Sims 2. This is definitely our favorite game with Sim City right behind it.

Halo is a rip from Tribes and FPS is a PC genre.

The Sims is good only in small doses but S2 looks awesome.

It will be! Can't wait to play it :)

i am suprised noone has mentioned diabloDiablo is a Masterpiece...Its no surprice as it is a BLIZZARD game

Diablo is a Masterpiece...Its no surprice as it is a BLIZZARD game
I didn't mention Diablo for a reason.

Its hard to compare any game to the awe that was Fallout 1 and 2.
I pity anyone who hasnt had the chance to experience the Fallout universe.
EDIT: World of Warcraft, for you MMO lovers, is incredible too. The beta stage its in right now is more complete than any major MMO ever released, in the west at least. Best MMO I've ever played I think. Oddly though, it feels like home; reminds you of your first MMO.

Golden Sun series!
ohoh!
Sonic series!
oohoohooh golden sun rox0rs

Anyone else like the Elder Scrolls series?

Commander Keen!

The Mana series (Secret of Mana, which is one of my favorite games EVER, Legend of Mana, etc.), the Final Fantasy series (even though some of them suck, like VI and X-2)
I just had to respond to this madness. FFVI... one of the worst FF games? It's the best Final Fantasy game. Also, the best RPG ever made with Chrono Trigger coming in second. Mystic Quest is the worst FF game. And a personal hatred of mine is FFVII.


I understand your love of Secret of Mana, but how can you like Legend of Mana? They took two perfectly awesome Secret of Mana games in the series and ruined it with Legend of Mana.

Have you even played Seiken Densetsu 3? The best Secret of Mana game in the series.
