What's Your Favorite Video Game?
 

Hey everybody,

I recently caught a few ads on Spike TV for their upcoming Video Game Awards (it airs Dec. 14th but I'm not sure what time, check out their website if you want) and thought to start this thread to see who everyone thinks should win the award for game of the year. Maybe we could tally up the replies here and then compare them to which game actually wins that night? It might be cool too to send these results to Spike TV after we're done, especially if our favorites aren't on their list. So I'm going to dig around and try to find a way to contact them too.

Here's this year's choices from Spike's website (if you don't agree, just put down your favorite):

Burnout 3: Takedown (Electronic Arts)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Rockstar Games)
Half-Life 2 (Vivendi Universal Games)
Halo 2 (Microsoft Game Studios)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Konami)

Also, what's your all-time favorite? (I'm predicting Super Mario Brothers and CS will top the list here.)

Thanks everyone and I'll keep you posted on who wins in case you won't catch it.

My favorite game currently is either Halo or Deus Ex. It will probably change once i get half life 2.

All Time Favorites:
1) Mega Man x3 - Snes
2) Mega Man x1 - Snes
3) Mega Man x2 - Snes
4) Diablo 2: Lord Of Destruction - Pc
5) World Of Warcraft - Pc
6) Super Mario World - Snes
7) Perfect Dark - N64
8) TimeSplitters 2 - GCN
9) Goldeneye - N64
10) Doom - PC

Tetris.

Nuff said.

are you serious? how could that be your favorite? i dunno what mine is but the longest a game i've played is cs or d2 or starcraft

I think Halo will go in history books right along side with Pac-man and Zelda

Because of the simplicity. And the kick ass music.

True on the music. It was cool!

EarthBound. Greatest game ever concieved.

I hate Spike TV's videogame awards. It's been a year, and I've forgotten most of the nominees/winners, but I do remember that I thought the amount of catagories they had was lame and I didn't agree with a lot of the choices. So much so that I thought it was fixed.

Here's an article that closely matches my own opinion. http://www.gaming-age.com/cgi-bin/sp...etv2&pagenum=1

In no particular order:

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
LOK:Soul Reaver
LOK: Soul Reaver 2
Deus Ex
Silent Hill
Xenosaga

If you notice, I only have two LOK games down. That's because those are the only one's i've played. Im not an old-school gamer and so far, i've just been playing games on Sony systems.

What am I trying to say? This list will probab;y change sometime in the near future. Actaully, it's already changed from what I would have posted not so long ago.

Oh man. On that initial list, Halo 2, but my own opinion would have to be Finaly Fantasy VII.

I concur. FF7 is great.

Earthbound was also really good. And Link to the Past. And Ocarina of Time. And Metal Gear Solid.. hell all of them :)

And megaman X4

dEUS eX IS DEFINANTLY THE BEST ON THAT LIST

Well the VGAs have came and gone. While it was entertaining I definetly dissagreed with a large amount of the games they chose.

Hehe. Im glad it's done past before i had a chance to get curious and contribute to it's ratings.

Starcraft, and then D2. Really close, though!

"Not enough minerals"

I really hope X8 could match that one...

What, in terms of raw shittasticness?

And you're supposed to be dead, or something. Shoo.

You need to use a hyphen, bro.

"Shit-tastic."

See how much spiffier that looks?
