    Best Game Ever?

    What do you think - can you narrow it down to just 1 game?

    If I had to give categories, how about:

    Best Replay Value over the course of time? - God of War
    Most Timeless? (if that's the proper grammar) - Guitar Hero
    Best suited to be re-made 20 years from now for better graphics/sound? - Castlevania Symphony of the Night
    Best Story? Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2

    A tendancy to
    Atrophy any
    Sense of compassion."

    A metal gear game would need to fit into the equation somewhere. Perhaps a category for best series.
    It only ends once... Anything that happens before that is just progress.

    Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

    That's a good one too. Up there on my list, but not #1.

    Halo. Yeah, I was a Halo junkie. Big time. Halo parties and everything. That game changed the way games were made the same way GTA did (NOT a GTA fan at all, but I appreciate its impact on the gaming world).
    Wait a second... you're telling me Sixpac Shakur is a CHICK?

    Each religion has got their own way of making you feel like a victim. The Christians say 'you are a sinner', and you better just zip up your trousers and give the money to the pope and we'll give you a room up in the hotel in the sky.

    I almost listed that. I love that game although I haven't played in a couple of years. Are the maps the same or are there some new ones?

    As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.

    ...on console.

    If GoldenEye had been released for the PC instead of the N64, I don't think it would have had nearly the same praise as it did on the console.
