Best Game Ever Made?

are u kidding me??
how can u say that the original Prince of Persia game is better than the new ones.
i don't have have the original and niether sands of time, but i have warriors within and the two thrones and they are one of the best game i ever played.
I tend to prefer simplistic and nostalgic in a lot of cases. I'm not saying modern games aren't great, because that would be verging on blasphemous, but through them all I always come back to the originals, like Prince of Persia, One Must Fall etc, whereas the modern games come and go and quickly get completed and gather dust. That might be just me though.
 
I'm waiting to see if Duke Nukem Forever evers comes out. That would take them all on. But Duke 3D was the big one in the 90s. Then again it's also a matter of preference as well as what type of game.
 
Star wars Jedi Knight II Jedi outcast. Best star wars fighting game ever. I also like the jedi academy one.
 
i would say halo2 it was the most anticpated game of all of history when i was at eb we had over 500 people waiting in line luckyly i was like 11 or so and i knwo people say it was shity or to short but the game play was amazing the craphicks are to and so was teh storie i know they cut it a litle short but what companie doesnt want to franchise there greatest creation and halo 3 will be amzing m$ is hopping it will save the 360 but i doubt it the only thing that will is xbox live if anything

i also love metal gear solid sereis and prince of persia it is recent but great mgs is considerd a clasic

one must fall 2097 :D

that must be the only shareware game i actually forked out for the full version of, loved it!

gotta love the Commander Keen series too....wonderful stuff from Apogee
 
I'll have to let you people know when I finally get past the second elevator in Halo. I did manage to get past the lobby in Nightfire however.
 
Cheap - Runescape...

Strategy, Skill, All around great - Lineage 2

FPS, Shooting, - Natural Selection (Free if you have Half life, Google its name).
 
The one played often prior Half Life 2 was Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix GOLD. That was a great one. But the first SoF 1 with Hawke was also on top.
 
FF7 and FF9 are absolute blinders

ME i prefer the classics, when games were all about the gameplay and not the graphics, Had some games I could play for months and never get bored, nowadays they last about a week and get chucked.

Ultima series was incredible. Ultima 5 came on two 5 1/4 inch disks so the whole game was under 1mb in size, yet me and a mate spent near 6 months trying to complete it. Awesome stuff.

Agree with the posts earlier about the original prince of persia game, outweighs the newer ones in my eyes, had fantastic gameplayer and was bloody hard too. Took forever to finish that one
 
Speaking of small installed to drive 8bit games one classic was the original Duke Nukem that you can still get running on an XP system. You have to use DosBox or something similar to mount a virtual drive. But that was strictly a keyboard game with no mouse involved. There were a few others like that where you only used the arrow and the alt keys to jump around and avoid falling objects.
