Faster Than Light

it's not as fun once you beat it once.. because you KNOW that it's all based on Luck... if you don't get the right upgrades by chance, you're screwed..

FTL is kind of like monopoly.
Without some good luck, you can't win at all..
But that doesn't mean you can't get better at the game and know how to strategically minimize the luck factor.

well, you're right... but also alike to monopoly, you don't actually have "that many" different moves you can make...

Nononononono....

Best PC game of all times has to be Raptor - Call of Shadows

It's SERIOUSLY good, and has tremendous "Flow" to the experience...

Looks like an everyday scroller shooter, but with simple RPG element.. Tight control... awesomeness. 

Show Image

I played this a massive amount as a child along with Solar Winds and Traffic Department 2192, and still replay it on occasion. The simplified RPG elements made it stand out from similar games, as well as the vague corporate-dystopia setting.

My all time favourite are probably Deus Ex, Thief 2, Majora's Mask and Sam and Max Hit the Road.

[wcstick]

Gunz: the Duel

I've spent countless hours on this free-to-play third-person shooter since I discovered it in Jr. high. It's like a Matrix arena game that requires a lot of double-tapping and simultaneous keypresses. I didn't play this continuously, but every time I had the itch to rapidly tap on keys, I'd think about playing it. You can see how that led me towards mechanical keyboards. =P

[morpheus]

That Raptor game was mesmerizing.

Mine would be Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare.

[dimamantra]

My favorite game of all time is the third Splinter Cell: Choas Theory.

I have played through that game a billion times and I know all the dialog by heart. Sam Fisher is also my favorite video game character of all time too.

[bavman]

I'd have to say diablo 2. An awesome game to start with, all the mods that came out for it made it that much better.

[Permeability]

Starcraft: Brood War. No contest

[tp4tissue]

[ducatisteve]

Bethesda Studios has my number with the 4 most recent Fallout and Elder Scrolls games.  I could play those over and over again.

Also the Mass Effect series is very satisfying.

[1839cc]

Gran Turismo 2 is the only game to have my car in it.
Descent
Star Control
Star Control 2
Zelda - Majora's Mask
Star Trek Bridge Commander + KM1.0 and other stuff
X3TC

I can't pick just one.

[ducatisteve]

And what car would that be?

street fighter III: 3rd Strike
marvel vs. capcom 2
raiden series
aero fighters series
tetris

[Photekq]

Call of Duty 4 with the promod competitive mod. I genuinely can't express how much i love that game.. According to my various xfire accounts i've player for somewhere around 6000 hours. It's a damn shame that the game is practically dead now..

Amen, the original Modern Warfare was seriously the best ever. I was addicted! Prestiged again and again!

[h2gofast]

Quake 3 Arena.  QuakeLive is good, slightly different feel.  I just acquired a linear keyboard and I'm thinking of revisiting my old addiction.

[metalliqaz]

I've logged a staggering number of hours on both.  My favorite was threewave ctf back in the day.  I stopped playing QL because a client update caused it to be laggy and unplayable on my computer, and they weren't interested in trying to fix it. 

[Trent]

MMO - Eve Online
PC Other - Freelancer, TF2, The Sims
NES - Battletoads (Yes I am that good.)
N64 - Golden Eye (is there any other acceptable answer?)
PS2 - Klonoa's Revenge (strange one to have as a favorite but I liked it the most)
PS1 - Metal Gear Solid (the original)

[1839cc]

Freelancer is great fun.

I'd say another acceptable answer for N64 would be Super Smash Bros (multiplayer).

Quake 3 Arena.  QuakeLive is good, slightly different feel.  I just acquired a linear keyboard and I'm thinking of revisiting my old addiction.

I would LOVE if QuakeLive was in the same style of the original Quake.  Q1 will always be in my heart.

I'd say another acceptable answer for N64 would be Super Smash Bros (multiplayer).

I could never play the N64 without getting motion sickness.  The only title I played/enjoyed was Killer Instinct.

[Trent]

Freelancer is great fun.

I'd say another acceptable answer for N64 would be Super Smash Bros (multiplayer).

Freelancer was the first time in my life I was acting as a business man.  On the multi player server I'd go and collect all of the level 10 guns from all of the wrecks under an account called WANTED_CRIMINAL -- the funniest part was that this was an alternate account, I was actually part of the server administrators, responsible for keeping the peace.  Was being a dirty cop in the game

I'd then go sell those special weapons back to the people I stole them from, whether I got to the wreck first or whether I killed them and stole the guns from them again

WANTED_CRIMINAL, well known on that server for sure.

"Why does he only show up after server restarts?"

Super smash brothers is a classic, although I started to get sick of its simplicity.
