Best game you've played since you started gaming?

In terms of best overall, probably the Resident Evil and MGS series. When I was younger, the games I just found plain addictive were Tony Hawk games and WCW and WWF wrestling games (this was on the PSX), the type of game that you'd be playing all day and then your parents would come and and ask you to turn it off and you'd start freaking out :rofl: Since becoming and adult I thought I'd never find a game addicting again, but the Zombies mode in Call of Duty games proved me wrong there - it's certainly not the best game available, but in terms of replay value, for me it was just unbeatable. It's gone down the toilet now but World at War and Black Ops 1 Zombies took up way too much of my time.
Fallout 3 and 4
Oblivion
Skyrim
Metro
Call of duty

A game that holds a special place in my heart is Jet Set Radio back on the Dreamcast - absolutely fab game with an amazing soundtrack (and that 'cel-shading' tho...) and a game that I have played right through from the start to the present is the Sims 2 :colondollar:

You hit me really hard with the nostalgia here. :biggrin: I remember the good ol' days playing Simpsons Hit and Run. I still play it on my PS2 from time to time.

Sim City :ahee: Although I feel like Cities: Skylines blows it out of the water a little now! Haven't played it but it looks pretty in-depth :biggrin:
Had to narrow it down by platforms because I couldn't decide.

PS1: Spyro Year of the Dragon
PS2: Star Wars Battlefront II
PS3: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

I recently completed it on the remastered version and the last few chapters were a bit infuriating :redface: but great game regardless! Think I prefer it to Uncharted 3 so far :biggrin:

And of course Star Wars Battlefront II was just the best :smile:
-Total war games
- Victoria II and Hearts of iron
-Sins of a solar empire
-Mount and blade series
-Dishonored

Would I be a bad human being if I said I have never played Candy Crush :colondollar:
No, you'd be an awesome person and would be eligable for hugs.

Best game... after all the time I've been gaming, I'd still say either Super Mario World or Final Fantasy IV.

Loved Rome:Total War :biggrin:
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (although I´d also put the first and third game not far behind it) is still hands down for me the best game I've ever played. I really miss how big the adventure game genre used to be. I love the way it looks, and even prefer the older graphics over the new version, I love the music, the atmosphere, the humour. For me, personally, it's a flawless game.
