Okay, so I've asked you what's the worst game that you've ever played. But now I ask you, what is the best game that you've ever played?
I've played a lot of good games, so it's very hard to decide which one is my favorite. Well, there's Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64), Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii) and Gran Turismo 4 (PS2, haven't played 5 yet). But I would have to say I'm at a 3-way tie between Mario 3 (NES), Castlevania:Symphony of The Night (PS1), and Final Fantasy VIII (PS1). Mario 3 had excellent graphics, great music, more power-ups than probably any other Mario game to-date, and is one of the few NES games I still own. And Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (the image on the right) was one of longest, most challenging, and most suprising game I've ever played. Just when you had played 25+ hours and thought that you had finally gotten through Dracula's castle, the whole thing flipped (If you did things right), And you realize "Holy crap, I'm only halfway done!!!" Which was okay, because the game was so undeniably great and fun that you didn't care. And even though it was 2D, it was probably a good thing that it was. And do I even have to say why FFVIII is my favorite? Looked great, sounded great, and it had a whole new concept of battle with it. You didn't even use MP to cast spells, and you could equip magic to your stats to make them higher. And to top it off, the game was so huge, they needed 4 discs for it!!
But this is just my opinion. What's your favorite game or games? Like before, it can be any game on any system.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I'm ashamed to admit it....but my all-time favorite game is Pokemon Red / Blue.
I played those games for *hundreds* of hours.
Probably Elite 2
Final Fantasy III (or Final Fantasy VI in Japan) for Super Nintendo will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Hard to choose... so.. heres a list.
SNES- Mega Man X3
GEN- Sonic 3 & Knuckles
PS1- Valkyrie Profile
SAT- Panzer Dragoon Saga
N64- Sin & Punishment
DC- Jet Grind Radio
PS2- Xenosaga
XBOX- Panzer Dragoon Orta
GC- Star Fox Assult
PC- Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Thats the games that held the most replay value for me, I won't go into newer games, simply because you can't play a game a short time and call it the greatest game ever.
If I was to pick one though, I'd have to go with Jet Grind Radio. I still pick that up now and then, (more than the others) put on the stereo and crank it.
(oh, Metalhead, you might want to try Castlevania: Noctourne in the Moonlight, it was the Saturn version of Symphony of the Night.)
I think i've played more hours on CounterStrike Source than any other game so i guess that would be my favourite game ever
