I've gotta say FFT: War of the Lions for PSP. Amazing remake of an already amazing game.

Game I've beaten the Most: FF Tactics Advance
Most-played: Kingdom Hearts series (logged more hours in these games than any other, majority of time spend was on KH2)

Now for my Video Game Awards:

Halo series: Best FPS story and gameplay

FFVII: Most plot-twists (i.e. story the hardest to follow)

FFX: Best "I wish the game ended happier" ending

Fable 2: Most addicting

Gears of War series: Most realistic shooter gameplay (one of few games with a "take good cover or die" concept just like real combat)

Assassin's Creed: Funnest Historical Game

The Force Unleashed: Coolest concept (who doesn't want to be Sith Lord?)

Fire Emblem series: Best turn-based tactics game

FF Tactics Advance/War of the Lions: Deepest tactics game (not some much strategically, but from a character construction standpoint)

Kingdom Hearts series: Most Memorable Supporting Cast (Sora's cool, but I like the FF characters, Riku, Kairi, and Organization XIII)

I know this is very mainstreamish but I don't think it'll ever get any better than the Final Fantasy and Zelda games that came out in the late 90's. Maybe it's just because I was like 12 then, but those games, particularly Final Fantasy VII and Zelda: Ocarina of Time continue to stick out to me. I'll often find my imagination wandering off and recall the sense of wonder I had playing those games. And of course the music from those games is practically THE reason why this site exists.

I know I get no originality points but that's how I feel :)

Silent Hill 2. Right place, right time.

As sad as it is, I've never had a game tug at the heart strings so badly.

Well, this is a hard question!!!
It's a tie between Chrono Trigger and FFVII.
Seriously, they are like the gods of all games for me.....

Hoshino Trigger! Definitely. Though, Final Fantasy VI would be a close second. I've played through those two many times, but the games I've beaten the most are probably Super Metroid and Mega Man X. I've probably completed Super Metroid and Mega Man X 20+ times each. I also think Smash Bros. Brawl probably has the best value in terms of hours of entertainment for your dollar. I've already put 600+ hours into Brawl on my Wii alone.

Here are my favorites:

Role-Playing Game: Tie Final Fantasy VII (1997)/Final Fantasy VIII (1999) (Main Characters have the most character development in the series)

Role-Playing/Survival Horror: Koudelka (2000) (Creepy, kinda like Dino Crisis and Parasite Eve)

Tactical RPG: Final Fantasy Tactics (1998) (So many customizations, and Epic Story for such a Chibi-Esque game)

Strategy: Age of Empires (1997) (It's a Builder that never gets old)

Survival Horror: Tie Silent Hill 3 (2003)/ Resident Evil 2 (1998) (Awesome, Eerie Atmosphere)

Psychological: Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (2002) (This one actually made me think that I was losing my own Sanity)

FPS Shooter: Halo: Combat Evolved (2001) (Duke Nukem and Doom are great, but the story here owns them both)

Tactical Shooter: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001) (Smart shooter, Amazing graphics for its time)

Action/ Adventure: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) (Played so many great ones, but they can't touch this one.)

Platformer: Tie Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995)/ Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (1996) (Ok, I admit that Yoshi is more fun, but they are both very creative in their own ways)

Adventure: Tie King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride (1994)/ The Longest Journey (2000)(Great Use of Imagination)

Fighting: Tie Tekken 3 (1998)/ Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998) (So many great fighting games, but it comes down to these two for me)

Car Racing: Need for Speed II: Special Edition (1997) (Gotta love the Cartoonish-Humour; two words "Box Car")

Motorcycle Racing: Moto Racer (1997) (My First Computer Game)

Flight Simulator: EF2000 V2.0 (1997) (You Literally have to fly for hours to reach a destination, unless you press "S" to skip to location)

Sports: FIFA 99 (1998) (There were others which I enjoyed, but this one is most memorable)

Puzzle: Tetris (1985) (I know; same old, same old)

I can go on and on, but the 3 Nominee's are: FF7, FF8, and LOZ:OOT, but my award would go to Final Fantasy VIII, because of the Story and Characters.

BIOSHOCK hands down nothing beats setting an enemy on fire with just a snap of a finger plus the storyline is the best i have ever played hands down if you have a 360 get this game and the new one sea of dreams coming out.

RPG - Earthbound/Mother 2, Phantasy Star II, and just to name something Final Fantasy... I'll go with VIII
Puzzle - Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
Fighting - Soul Calibur and Super Smash Bros. series.
Adventure - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Platform - Donkey Kong Country 2 and most Mega Man games
Action - Kirby Super Star
First Person Shooter - Halo. Goldeneye was cool too.
Racing - F-Zero X or Mario Kart

I'm not sure if I can say these are my "all time favorites," for those genres, but I enjoyed them. I'm sure I've played better under a few of the genres I mentioned, but I just can't think of them off the top of my head since there are so many.

Chrono Trigger really touched a nerve. The music, the story.. it was really deep. Games today just dont have that.. that feel. Ya know? Well just my opinion..

no no no i totaly agree with you 100% Chrono Trigger was something special. Its like the characters of that game were more then just sprites on the screen you felt attached to them like you cared about what they were going through, no game to this date as touched my heart more the Chrono Trigger has.

Probably Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Rock Band 2, Pokemon Gold, Wind Waker, the first 3 Spyro games, or TWEWY.

I'm indecisive.

Pokemon RBY/GSC (I just can't decide)
Persona 4
Final Fantasy IX
Mystical Ninja (Starring Goemon and Goemon's Great Adventure)
Kanon
(and for old time's sake) Ocarina of Time.

I played RPG and Turn-Base Stragety games

So these are the games that I like most...

RPG: Chrono Trigger and FFVII ( I don't want to describe them because no need to describe these great games )
Turn Base Stragety: Fire Emblem 4 (beside Chrono Trigger, this is the game that I replay the countless times, the story and character system beat all FE today, even the great Tearing Saga)
Beside that I love Der Langrisser.

Suikoden 4. Yes, it's a horribly short game. Yes, it has awkward moments with Lazlo being a mute. Yes, it has retarded animations.

But I love it because it takes place on the sea, you see.

I've got so many favorites from my childhood. But the #1 for me is Earthworm Jim (Sega Genesis). That game kicks so much ass, and it's also one of the funniest games ever.

It's a worm in a space suit. It just can't get any cooler than that.

Also, Revenge of Shinobi (Genesis) Beats Ninja Gaiden by a mile with superior level design. This and EWJ are games for the hardcore. You can't miss out on them if you truly are a hardcore gamer.

My favorite would definitely have to be Tales of Symphonia, but I loved Sonic 3&K, Earthbound, and Ocarina of Time.
