If I had to pick one, it'd probably be the original Crysis. I've never experienced a game so incredibly fun and, for me personally, sporting so much replay value I still come back to it regularly ten years later, and not just to speedrun, but just to have a good time. The physics, the level design, the interactivity - I can't get enough of all of it. I find that the graphics still hold up and look pretty astonishing to this day.

Now that is a good choice! I could just sit and listen to Water and Ice’s theme for hours! :D

I don’t really have any one game that I can call my “favourite”. I have a lot of games that I just really like.

I have too many, but I can say Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles took the throne for 'my favorite game' from Kid Chameleon in my case. Though the rest still hold a place in my heart too. There's just way, way too many to name. I'd definitely forget one and then feel bad.
Kid Chameleon is still really awesome to me, though. 8) One of the best things I've done in my gaming career is completing that game.

At some point I ought to make some kind of list...It would be pretty damned long but it's also something I've never tried doing before.

Very hard question... But I think Red Dead Redemption 1 is my favourite game. It's definitely the one I had more fun with, the one that shocked me the most when I played for the very first time, the one that could immerse me the most with its story... I've played that game 13 years ago and I still haven't a found a game that I like more.

I like stories, so FFVII, FFIX and FFX are the first games I think of. The turn-based gameplay isn't a huge turn-on, but they work in conjunction with the story to help the player "live out" the precarious moments with characters and empathize with their plight.

I love Naughty Dog and Crash Team Racing (PSX) is another of my favourites. I think an action RPG like Last of Us would be my "ideal game," but while I don't mind dark themes it gets a little too "real" for my tastes.

I can't say any Rayman game can compete for my favourite game, but Rayman 2 is certainly getting close. I've completed every 3D version of it!

The original Sonic The Hedgehog, just about every Mario game, Rayman, Gunstar Heroes, Vexx, Gex, Rascal, Bubsy, The Nes Kid Icarus & The original Nes Zelda, Smash Bros 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie, Grabbed By The Ghoulies, Conker's Pocket Tales, Punky Skunk, Jersey Devil, Rad Rodgers, Zero the kamikaze squirrel, Psychonauts, I Wanna Be The Guy...

Oh the list goes on and on! There's just too darn many for me to list! Though I am particularly proud of completing Dynamite Headdy, that was a tough one, I managed to defeat the secret bonus boss too! :proud:

But yeah, I can't choose one, they're all my favorites.

I gotta say that Rayman 2 is the one that made me love videogames, and that's why it's still a very special game for me.

Also, I'd like to mention Tunic here... Even if I played it for the first time on May, I had very similar feelings than those I've experienced when I played Red Dead Redemption for the very first time. That game is so good... It's definitely in the top.

For me its either Rayman Origins or Omori. They both have an amazing soundtrack and great art, but the best part about one of them, the other does poorly. Rayman Origins has amazing gameplay but a mediocre story while Omori has an amazing story but mediocre gameplay.

At this point I will say the Splatoon series ranks pretty high on my list, but so does Rayman 3, since technically both Rayman 3 and Splatoon 2 made the biggest impact on my life.

I also really love the Ratchet and Clank series, I enjoyed them a lot, and another one that I played later in life that I really like a lot of is Chibi-Robo for the Gamecube.

Then I will say the Tales of series I enjoy, the first one being Tales of Graces f on the PS3. There's a few more in that series I enjoyed greatly. Final Fantasy VIII is still a favorite of mine, along with IX, and honestly Final Fantasy XIV I got to play with some friends. Then of course Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger were pretty solid to me, as were Perfect Dark on the N64 and the likes of a few N64 games like Super Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64... Yoshi's Island on the SNES, Goof Troop on that same system... and on my earliest childhood game Wrecking Crew on the NES.

Our first computer had Descent which I loved... too many things to list, let's be real. :lol:

I'm not sure what my favourite game actually is, but for a long time I considered Beyond Good & Evil the best I have ever played :D

The Ratchet & Clank games are so good... That trilogy in PS3 was fantastic.

Those were the ones I started off with, funnily enough. Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction specifically. Awesome game. :mrgreen:

I recall trying out the PS2 games, but I never actually went right through them. I recall enjoying them from what I did play though, and I should revisit them.

Fun fact, I named my cats after Ratchet and Clank, though sadly we lost Ratchet during surgery... :ouin:

It's still incredibly hard...

My favourite video game has to be Minecraft, I’ve been playing it for most of my life, and I always come back to it no matter how many times I lose my diamonds in the nether :lol:

Clank is, yes. And Clank had the surgery first.

They were from the same litter of kittens, and the vet suspects genetics at play here, which is why the joint for their hip bones were weak and degraded. It's some type of disease, which the only options are generally to do a false joint and let the muscles act like the false joint, or amputate. Obviously I went with the leg saving route because I know I would want to keep my leg if I can. So I feel the same about my cat too.

Which Clank's done exceptionally well from his surgery.

Sadly Ratchet was discovered to needing the same thing, and I went in thinking his will go well, just like his brother's... but....

That’s good that clank is still alive, but I do feel bad for ratchet :nostalgic:

I’m also currently playing Minecraft and I’m in the deep dark :shock:
