Best Game of All Time?

I know I've made some lists before of top tens and whatnot,
but when it boils down to it, what- in your opinion is the BEST game of all time (Note: Not your favorite, but the best, all-around game)

For me, it's Half Life 2.
Why?
Valve. Simply. Didn't. Skip. A. Beat.
From Gameplay, to sound, to graphics, to replay value just to play 'that one part' over again-
Half Life 2 was perfect from the time I opened the box (skipping a bit, long story) to the time it ended.
It's been four years since it's release, but it's still just as refreshing of an experience. Sure, the ZOMG RUN
part dragged on for a while, but everything else makes up for it.

What did it beat to make #1?
Duke Nukem 3d, Halo, Elder Scrolls IV, GTA IV, Portal, The Sims, Super Mario Bros, Pong

wow, this is a hard one.

I'd have to split this up.
for arcade games, mine was Cyber Troopers: Virtual On, it will always hold a spot in my heart, and i still love it.

otherwise, replay value and all, I think perhaps counter strike source, as long as it's online with mods, it never really gets boring for me.

For me, it's Doom... or more specifically Doom 2. Except in the multiplayer arena, where I gladly give the crown to the Team Fortress series.

I think I liked Doom 2 because you knew that it was supposed to be Earth and the remains of human cities and spaceports and so on, but because rendering technology was relatively limited, you had to use your imagination... which was only enhanced by the odd amalgamation of human and alien "technology" (or more specifically, textures :P).

HL2? #1? Nah, they totally dropped the ball on the vehicles. The airboat was just too damn long.

For me, since you didn't state specifically "video game", Risk. Second is definitely a tie b/t Spades and Euchre.

Well, I like my power as admin.
Usually, I'm politically correct.
I don't like abusing my powers... But things matter to me less now.
Less now than ever, really.
I've decided that I still don't like you.
I take great pride in when I say,

Best game...best game. I have a couple. DooM 1, first and foremost because it's always fun to play. Every computer I sit down at, I know I can play DooM so I install it and I'm back to beating the first episode all over again. Loads of replay value there. Also, in terms of just play time waster, PainKiller. As Yahtzee put it, 'they have a gun that shoots shuriken and lightning bolts.'. It's the epitome of run and gun.

When it comes down to suprar original story, I'd have to say a few of the Final Fantasy's, though the gameplay is just plain horrid(until FF12). If you're talking about a moving story and good gameplay, at least for a longtime fan, Metal Gear Solid 4. Loved that game. It made me tear up a bit at points.

Half Life 2 for the 'wow, VALVe knew what they were doing.'. Shogo MAD for the best FPS no one played.

So whatever, the list as I gave it right here is:
DooM
Metal Gear Solid Series
PainKiller
Final Fantasy 9,10,12
Half Life 2
Shogo MAD
Eh.

Who cares about his post, I want to know what the hell he's doing here?! Our containment shields must have failed! Quickly, get into the contamination booths! We need to head downstairs.

He e-mailed me asking me why he was banned.
More so, why he was allowed to register to only be banished.
I replied:

I honestly don't know, but that's a valid point.
You got me banned from Wolf Dreamer's forum.
I forgave you.
Your friend got me banned from the GMC.
I forgave you.
You created some dumb-ass stunt to overthrow my forum with your friend.
I forgave you.
Then I realized, "What next?"
So I decided I'd rather not wait to find out again.


I gave him chance, after chance, after chance, after chance. I gave him ample opportunity to settle down.
If he came back, in due time Stevo would be back too, and then it would be a whole new anti-spelling bee.

It's under nine thousand.

Oh and I'm not too concerned about his administrative punishment.
