hmmmm IM not sure if any of those games are the best games ever. I like GTA3.... decent graphics ans sound...the gameplay is good, its a revolutionary game in freedom, and what you can do. And best of all, the replay value is high...which is good for someone on a budget...it has kept me happy for a long time...

Out of that list I have to give it to Unreal Tournament. Excellent balance of weaponry & awesome control. Actual best video game ever Xenogears for the Playstation.

The reason I chose those games is mainly because of the breakthrough they had for the genre. Yes, Quake was big, but it was Half-Life that made the engine. Doom maybe a bad game but it revolutionized the FPS genre, it put us all on FPS. Unreal Tournament was huge in the land of multiplayer gaming. The new Max Payne engine is a classic, especially in the graphical sense. The Age of Empires engine is now the the standard for almost all major RTS. Civ II, well, 'nough said. It is the greatest in history. And the Madden line, no more to be said. Easily the best sports line made in history. And finally, last but not least, MS Flight Sim. The king of simulations, the one that started all.

Without looking at the rest of the options, I choose Half-Life, Nothing can beat this amazing game ...

I still say it was Wolfenstein 3D that revolutionized the FPS genre.

Actually, Descent radically changed the FPS genre. It utilized 360 degree movement. Wolfenstein,Quake, Doom were based on running around on the ground. Descent gave FPS'ers the freedom of flight.

I agree. I wasn't arguing the fact of who was first, just pointing out a turning point in the genre is all.

I have to vote for "PONG", that was truly the game that started it all. Great graphics and unbelievable action. Hours of fun.

As soon as I saw the Best Game Ever Poll, I knew Civ II was easily my choice, before I even opened it up to the the poll choices. I like shooters, but for some reason Civ II has had a place of honor reserved on my HD (on at least 4 different comps) since it came out... Even with the advent of CivIII (which, IMHO is too detailed and takes too long to play). Just can't beat it.

Not even a mention of Mech Warrior?
Well I feel that the best game is Tribes 1. It is played on everything from a p2 233 to the best and fastest of today. How many games can play on a setup as lowly as a p2 233? |

I bought my first PC in '95. And then I bought a joystick at, of all places, Sam's Club. It was a Gravis Phoenix. With excellent programmability. And it came with a free copy of Doom 2. That's where I started. And I will never forget sitting at that computer til 3:00AM absolutely wired on adrenalin and playing DOOM. Half-Life is best for me, but where would we be without DOOM, and it's predecessor Wolfenstein 3D, which I never played but the way I understand it, was the start of it all?

Useless 1! You are correct! Pong started it all! I remember being 8 and thinking, wow! Is this cool or what? Can it get any better than this? Oh yes it has, and I'm loving every minute of it and more!

Hey, does anyone ever remember Questron on the C64? Wow, I didn't think I'd ever make it out of 9th grade. I went from a straight A student to a 1.9GPA because of that game! Then the Vectrex (sp?) box? Wow, let's keep the good times rolling!

Well, while the rainbow six series of games are great fun, the unreal series beats everyone. Unreal 1 gets my vote!

Has everyone forgotten donkey Kong? The game had it all, a savage, cunning beast for a foe, a beautiful dame and lots and lots of kegs.
Seriously, even though I think that the rainbow six games needed to be on the list, my all time favorite is Unreal Tournament. The only game that comes close will hopefully be Unreal II. Ghost Recon bears mention, if you like to run a half mile before getting to shoot the enemy--ultra realism though. Think, I'll play it.

hmmm....
Hasn't anyone heard of Deus Ex? I think that should feature somewhere near the top... But from the list of choices given I'd have to choose Half-Life. Still it's an impossible choice really - different smokes for different folks... And if you're going to go all soppy eyed and retro I'd like to mention a small rubber keyed beast going by the name of the ZX Spectrum... don't know if it ever made it to the US... If it didn't you probably never got to experience the wonders of colour clash! |

I can't pick a favorite game as it depends on my mood. But some of my favorite PC games are Starcraft, Disciples II, and the HoMM series.
