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.
Jason

Its difficult as that list is a mix of PC - Console
I only have PC games
For me i think Halflife2 was best, and World of Warcraft
Havent played either of them very long but so far they keep amuzing me
My alltime favs:
- Quake 2 (no doubt, especially the CTF and Jailbreak mod)
- Age of Empires 2 + addons (some find it stupid, it still amuses me till this day)
Worth mentioning:
- Medal of Honour AA
- RTCW:ET coz of the good fun we had on our own server
For consoles i cant really say, its been over 10 years since i last touched a console.
Maybe:
- Super Mario Bros
- Wonderboy
- That same kinda game of the first Sega, dunno wot it was called

I guess comodore and amiga were really popular in the international community. If I wasn't a dork I'd have NO clue what the hell those were here in the states as the progression was basically:
Atari Systems--->NES/Sega Master system---> SNES/Sega Genesis/Sega CD---> Sega Saturn/PSX/N64/Dreamcast ---->PS2/Gamecube/Xbox

Kinda on topicbut did anyone see the end of the spike awards? Well GTA:SA won game of the year.
Samuel L. Jackson goes to accept the award and he calls the game Grand theft Auto 2. He does this not once but 2 times seriously you would think you would know the name of a game that you did voice acting for...
