What is your most loved and most hated video games of all time?

[Dorienne]

I agree with Lil' Lavery, the FF series got a bit over the top. I don't play it, but even so I get ticked with it..They made too many, and it just got old. No matter how many they made, it got old. I heard about it everywhere, and I saw it all over the place, and wondered to myself, 'when will it stop?'
My brother even got tired of it. He's the VG freak of the family, lol.
This is just my opinion.

Most Loved- For a while I wasted a LOT of time on mechwarrior but it ended up getting old so its not really my most loved any more. What I have to pick as my most loved would probably have to be... Knights of the Old Republic. It had a good Star Wars feel, but it wasent compleatly drenched in it like other games that take place during the movie time peroid. It also had some great game play. Honestly better than being a wookie scout stranded on tattoine like in some other SW RPG.

Most Hated-That would probably have to be Banjo and Kazooie. I thought the game was o.k., but that game just annoyed the heck out of me with the music, the characters, the goals, basically the whole thing. To this day I get angry when I see a bear carrying around a red bird in a back pack.

Well since we're naming our favorites now...

FFX
KOTOR
Halo
Diablo 2
Counter Strike (1.5)
Kingdom Hearts
Onimusha Series
Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time & A Link to the Past
Galaga (Ben, you have aweomse taste. Best old school game, ever.)
Starcraft
Dance Dance Revolution <- if you can really call it a video game. or a dancing game, for that matter. Should be called Step Step Revolution, imo.

[Lil' Lavery]

Oh yeah, forgot to say another HATED-pump it up, a rip-off of DDR, and nowhere near as fun.
On the FF topic. Alot of them are really good games, but the the recent ones have gone downhill. FFX was great, but FFIX, FFX-2,and FFTactics Advanced havnt even come close. I havnt gotten a chance to play FFXI yet(need to hook up LAN in basement so I can get my PS2 online), and since its a MMORPG I think it fits in a different category anyway. The one thing I dont get, if its a FINAL fantasy, why are there so many of them(and how can you make a direct sequel to FFX?)? But otherwise it would just be fantasy, which would just sound stupid, so Ill stop questioning it...

I live for Madden.

[MOEmaniac]

MOST LOVED = Megaman 1-7, Socom 1 & 2, Unreal Tournament 2004, Zelda 1 & 2 (NES), old school Bomberman (before N64), and of course Duck Hunt

MOST HATED = all wrestling games, most movie based games, and all Gran Turismo

[Joe Matt]

The Good:
-SimTower (awsome game)
-Rollercoaster Tycoon (ditto)
-Halo (ditto to the 100 power)
-Lemmings (still my favorite)
-Zelda: Wind Waker (sure, it looked like a cartoon, but the characters seemed more real than any FF character!)
-GoldenEye
-Banjo Kazooie (hehehe)

The Bad:
-Super Mario Sunshine
-Donkey Kong 64 (why would I want to play a game for 80 hours?)
-The World Is Not Enough

The Ugly:
-Enter the Matrix

[Jeff Waegelin]

Well, a lot of the games I would think of as being really great were also very popular, and have already been mentioned, so I'll go with something a little less known: Earthbound, for the SNES. It was a great RPG, and absolutely hilarious. I've never had more fun playing a game than I did playing Earthbound. It wasn't anything incredibly special in any way, but it was just plain fun.

Some other obscure or older games I thought were fun:
Blast Corps (N64) - Who doesn't enjoy destroying buildings with bulldozers and other equipment?
SimFarm (PC) - An entirely underrated member of the Sim series
Animal Crossing (GCN) - A great idle time-waster. I can go around for hours just pulling weeds if I'm bored
Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES) - Not obscure and already mentioned, but the best Zelda game ever, IMHO.

I wouldn't dismiss PIU completely - my experience of it wasn't that great but the machine I played on was horrible. I've heard there are some really good PIU mixes in the US and Japan, you just have to find them.

Other Bemani games that are awesome -

Beatmania (IIDX)
Drummania
Guitarfreaks
ParaPara
Pop n' Music
Keyboard Mania

I think Half-Life is the best game ever made. If you just think of the number of mods available for it... And the original game was fun too.

[Jeff Rodriguez]

Best Game EVER! Tribes 2, soon to be topped by Tribes: Vengence in the fall. Also, Virtua Tennis for the dreamcast. And JOUST!

Worst Game EVER! CS is bad cause it's so old, and people won't drop it. I also don't like RPGs, any of them really. Way too much storyline and very slow.

[Madison]

Fun games:
SimIsle, Roller Coaster Tycoon (1 & 2), Transport Tycoon Deluxe, SimFarm, Aerobiz, Total Annihilation, Halo, Perfect Dark, 007: Agent Under Fire, 007: Nightfire, GoldenEye, No Limits Roller Coaster Simulator, Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee, Twisted Metal series, Crimson Skies, Power Stone, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, DDR, Donkey Kong 64

Not-so-fun games that I have played:
Baldur's Gate, Black and White, Star Wars, Super Mario Bros. 2, Simcopter, Streets of Simcity, Caesar II, more.

There's a reason why everyone still plays it, ya know! Counterstrike rocks!

Way too much storyline, and very slow? Ever played a FF game? Not slow at all. I can also tell you dont like Tolkein books, and you went straight to the movies, due to they are too slow, and are full of plot. You also prolly dont like stealth game either, because you cant go "rambo" on them....

[ZACH P.]

Games I like- PoP series (especially The Sands of Time), Half-Life, Doom(never gets old), Knights of the Old Republic(totally awesome), and Tron 2.0 (if you liked the movie, or even hated the movie, you'll love the game).

I don't play many games i dont like, but some that come to mind are the Sims series (why not just go do something physically instead of pretending to?) also gunbound.
