    Herzog Zwei, man I forgot all about that. Pretty much the first RTS! That game was so far ahead of its time. I have memories of hanging out in my buddy's basement eating pizza and playing that game for hours. That was a TOUGH game to play against the AI, at least when starting out.


    My all-time favorite is Megaman 2. Never seen a more well-balanced game with intuitive weapons, cool enemies, unique levels and graphics that still look good.

    And lets not forget the music, my entire music career is based on the songs that got stuck in my head from Megaman 2. I've been trying to capture a little bit of that 8-bit goodness ever sense. The 'space shooter' sample on my sound cloud page is my ultimate tribute to MM2...yet it pales in comparison to those expertly-arranged 8-bit blips! :D

    Definitely dark souls, the game is just amazing in every way, it's so fun and has a very cool and meaningful, but hidden theme or motive of its story, a game I spent a good amount of time on and can always go back to, it's just unbelievably good.

    Honorable mentions: RE4, just another fantastic game, and anything made by rockstar, and skyrim is very good as well.

    Some of these answers are really depressing. Not sure I could choose a favourite, but with a gun to my head I'd probably also go with SotN... or possibly Jet Set Willy.
     
  6. The World Ends With You for DS.

    Don't you tell me that Paper Mario was one of the depressing ones, because it is the one true answer. LOL. :)

    Can never choose ONE favorite game. But I'll pit out Katamari Damacy.

    For the story, I really loved Galerians for the PS2, as well as Legend of Legia. I've by far spent the most time on the Tony Hawk series, though.

    Too many good ones to narrow it down but here are first ones I could think of:

    FFVII and FF Tactics, Diablo II, Halo, Gran Turismo, GTA III Vice City, Zelda (any), and any Mario of course

    Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) is definitely up there for me. Not only are the atmosphere, puzzles, and music flawless, but it's also one of the only games that makes you feel something. I can't wait for The Last Guardian.

    It's a tie between the Super Mario Bros games on NES & SNES or Age of Empires (STILL waiting in a good AoE port/clone on the iOS)

    You do know it could be considered cruel and unusual to ask us for one favorite, right?;)

    I'd have to go with the original Deus Ex... and GTA Vice City.:p
