THIS is the best game ever done!

So is this like an old game nostalgiathon thread? If so

POW!
 
seems like Ermz and Ashgarth are the only people here getting close...

For fuck's sake, this is the correct order:
Half Life
Fallout 2
GTA Vice City
Planescape Torment
Duke Nukem 3D

And than, there are the games that are even more awesome:
Day of the fucking Tentacle!
Sam and Max hit the Road
Monkey Island
Worms
 
Ermz wins. I would rank Fallout 1 > Fallout 2 though, at least in terms of atmosphere.

Yeah I always account for most of the fanbase ranking the original over 2. That's totally valid.

I played 2 first though so I suppose it holds a special place for me. That and it seemed to be packed with more diversity and content than 1, which feels a little more monotone.
 
Final Fantasy 7
Zelda Ocarina of time
Zelda a link to past
Super Mario bros 3
Punch-out
Wolfenstein 3d
Ultima 7 black gate

are some of the best ever, at least for me :)
 
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Oddworld Abe's exoddus
Portal 2
Another world
 
Im surprised no one mentioned super mario 64 this one gets mentioned a lot in "best game" threads.
I see that some of you mention zelda and final fantasy, if you never played a game called terranigma for the snes console go play it now. It is a god tier game that didnt become very famous.
 
Everyone knew this was coming :D

I can only call that my favorite PC game though, I've always been a console gamer at heart so most of the heavy hitters (MGS, FFVII, Goldeneye, Zelda, etc.) have been mentioned - oh, but big +1 to Half Life 2 (and even bigger +1 to HL2 > HL1, thanks to the introduction of *gasp* characters with names and some semblance of a story), and also, I'll throw out some of my unmentioned and/or lesser-known personal favorites, in no particular order:

(Most diverse but well-developed character cast in any game I've ever played, bar none)

(Yes, seriously, the plot is braindead and somewhat jingoistic, but the set pieces are just so mind-blowing, and the whole presentation and production so slick, this is modern shooter perfection as far as I'm concerned - the video game equivalent of Nickelback's "All the Right Reasons", perhaps :D And Soap + Price are definitely up there on my "most badass video game duos" list)

Definitely intentional that the majority of those are the first sequels in their respective trilogies, as my experience is most of the time that's the peak for a series
