What is your favourite game of all time?


Recommended Posts

Best single player gaming 'experience' i had is definitely...

Mafia (on PC) (i first played it in Aug 2002 and have replayed it at least 10+ times since then as i typically replay it once a year nowadays. it's got a great story/characters/gameplay and it's ending left a solid emotional impact on you that i have yet to get from another game out there to date. it rivals quality mob films.) (this is hands down my favorite in the big picture single player wise)

p.s. some others worth listing single player wise... 'Wave Race 64' on N64, Forza Motorsport series (1/2/3), Moral Kombat 1/2/3/UMK3, GoldenEye on N64 although this was primarily at it's best mutiplayer wise. Tetris (the original Tetris on original Gameboy is still BY FAR the best version of tetris out there to date). DooM (the ones in the early 1990's) as it's pretty much the first computer game i liked a lot. Diablo 2 (the last RPG i liked a lot) etc etc etc.

----------------------------------------------------

if you want to look at mutiplayer i would have to list...

- Counter-Strike (& source) as THE best mutiplayer shooter ever since i been playing that since 2000 to date and it's still solid. nothing else really even comes close in the big picture.

-GoldenEye (on N64) (this has got to be EASILY my favorite shooter on a console simply because of the Nostalgia i had playing this 1 on 1 with my cousin back in late 1997 and 1998 etc on the Archives level. this game i still praise to this day even though if i am being honest it does not hold up nearly as well as the other two series i listed in the Multiplayer section here to this day.)

-Mortal Kombat 2D series (primarily MK3/UMK3 arcade versions. although the SOUND on MK2 was the best) (these are still BY FAR the best fighting games ever made. and good news is MK9 (due out early 2011) is supposedly going back to a more 2D flavor which should be a big boost to the series as the 3D ones are not nearly as fun as they are to sloooow vs the lightning quick UMK3 etc. the 2D MK series is pretty much THE BEST of the 1990's as i have the most Nostalgia from them to and i still like even to this day)

p.s. i was born in 1979 so i pretty much grew up and seen the transition from 'the old days' to modern stuff with the general Atari 2600 Jr to NES etc etc.

I've had a dedication to one game or series since it started. I have bought, owned and play(ed) every years copy of NHL by EA Sports right back to NHL 90 on the Sega Genesis. It's always been my favourite. They keep adding features every year that you really almost have to say that that one is your favourite, most times. There were a few years that I didn't really like after a few months. NHL 97 was one, NHL 09. But to think of the fun, back on the Genesis was really fun. It could be that I was a kid then and now I'm a little more serious about it. I have a lot of fun now but I'm more into the Be A GM or Be a Pro with long term strategies coming into play and making the trades and moves, etc.

But the NHL series by EA Sports has and will always be my all-time fav.

have not had a fair chance at GTA IV yet as im a pc gamer and someone gave me a 360 version of GTA IV about a year ago. think ill pick it up for pc now though. until now though it has to be GTA III

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
