Best Game Ever

On Gamespot, they have a place where you can see the all the ratings of every video game. I was interested to see what some of the highest rated games were. I was shocked to see some of my favorite games up there. There were new titles such as Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, and Oblivion, and throwbacks like Tony Hawk Pro Skater and Mario World. All of these games received perfect scores, and where basically everything a gamer would want. Although these games where the highest rated, they were no where near my favorite game.

I chose 2 games, one from next generation era, and the other a throwback, that I personally feel where the best games ever created by man. A lot of thought went into this, such as characters, storyline, and difficulty. In a previous post, I mentioned a man name Gordon Freeman, who is the main character from a series of games called Half-Life. Half-Life is an older game that originally came out on the PC. It was one of the highest grossing PC games ever during its release and for good reason. The storyline is complex and intriguing, and really makes the gamer think about what do next. I was never a PC gamer, so I had to wait until the game was released on the Xbox. There is nothing better than pulling out your gravgun and whooping some zombie...tail.

The choice for next generation game was really a tough choice. I had narrowed it down to Final Fantasy and Call of Duty 4. In the end I went with Call of Duty for a few reasons. One word, multiplayer. No word is more important than that in gaming industry. If any game wants to be successful then it must have some from of multiplayer. Call of Duty 4 arguably has the best multiplayer ever. I have more than ten days played for multiplayer, and played in Call of Duty tournaments all over North Carolina. Not only does it have that, but also a great storyline to complement. Final Fantasy has no mulitplayer, but like every Square Enix game, the story is amazing.

Even if the only game you have every played is pac-man at the grocery story, leave a comment telling what your favorite game ever is.

    I never played Half-Life, but I have heard enough to know that it is a great game. For me, my favorite game of all time has to be Twisted Metal 2 for Playstation. This was the first game I owned when I got a playstation when I was seven years old. While it may not still be the best game to me today, it will always be the best in my mind

    Do you play the PC version of CoD4 or a console version? Personally, I think that the PC version is much better, but with the recent news of them crippling the PC multiplayer, I'm not too sure I'll even bother playing the game. What do you think of Infinity Ward removing server listings for the PC version of the game?
    As far as my favorite game, it would definitely be Final Fantasy Tactics for the original PlayStation. It had an amazing story and some of the best gameplay for any strategy game.

    This is a pretty interesting review. I knew that Call of Duty 4 was one of the best games ever. Its price is still in the 50 dollar range and has been out for a couple of years now. I have never played Half-Life and am now interested in seeing how great of a game it really is.
    As far as my favorite game of all time, probably Call of Duty 4. I do personally like a little FIFA '09. I can't help it, I'm a soccer player.

    My brother plays Call of Duty all the time. I swear he's obsessed with it. He just recently bought the new modern warefare and is determined to teach me how to play. Personally, I'm a fan of the classic games like MarioKart and Super Smash Brothers, but these seem like a good time too.
