Xcom or Ufo:enemy unknown...still never had any remake that would measure up to this, for gameplay.

Oh i forgot about that one - an awesome series (the earlier games were the best!) I remember hacking the save game files to give my soldiers silly stats making them one-shot killers who took a beating before they died... even with that unfair advantage the game was still difficult and time consuming to complete!

Thanks for reminding me, fond memories of those games!

Yeah, the first doom was a real blast.

Let's see, Deus Ex, the first one (the second was so-so, haven't played the third yet)
Halo, the first one (the sequals are so-so)

So many, but Baldur's Gate series, Battlefield series, GTAs, and Minecraft have all come close to costing me my marriage!

I dont know why people choose to go down the nostalgic route when choosing the best video game ever, with modern days CPUs and GPUs its pretty silly to choose a 20 year old game as the Best Video Game Ever, and this is coming from a gamer who started out with the C64.

I will say to this day, i will rank World of Warcraft as the best video game ever. I will get some heat from this im sure, but what other game can you spend hours on end, every day for year in and out and not get fed up with it?

In the olden days, for the Spectrum Plus, there was a 3d game for it, Mugsby or Bugsby... a mafia guy going from room to room sorting things out.
In the 90s, Leisure Suit Larry, King`s Quest and Space Quest series.
I continue to play with Ghost Recon 2, Operation Flashpoint games.

I will get GTA5 when it comes out.

This year seems to be one of the best ever years for AAA games

Just think how many 10/10 games have been released the past few months:

Uncharted 3
Batman: Arkham City
MW3 (I know there are lots of MW3 haters but MW3 is still a great game)
Driver:SF
Dark Souls
Forza 4
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Zelda: Skyward Sword
Rayman: Origins

I have orders placed for Zelda and Rayman when they are officially released as I always pay for AAA games. Just picked up Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS but not had chance to play it yet

Of the above list my favourite is a tie between Skyrim and Zelda. Both RPGs but play so very differently

I've been skint due to so many great games but this lot will last well past Christmas, especially Skyrim with all the DLC incoming

Then in early 2012 we'll have Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3!

Just D/Led Skyrim from Steam yesterday (25 hour download! hate the internet speed here.

As a fan of the Elder Scrolls Series for nearly ten years now I found this to be the best iteration yet. I played a solid 14 hours! hahah. The game just loses you in it's beauty and immensity.

Anyone else been playing this game (on PC?)?
