There have been dozens of consoles. Thousands of games. If you had to pick ONE game as your absolute favorite game in the world, what would it be?
Mine is probably Sly 2: Band of Thieves for the PS2. It's such an improvement over the first game (Even though that one is also fantastic.) and, IMO, better than the 3rd game (Again, fantastic game) because of the replay value for finding the clue bottles. That was half the fun.
Your favorite video game. Of all time. Period.

Shouldn't this be in general gaming not off topic where the only rule is anything, BUT gaming?

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (N64) for me (Majora's Mask is a very close second). I have probably played and beaten OoT 50 times. I remember being in elementary school when the game out, and staying up late playing it on weekends and holidays.
Those were the days before the internet was huge and you solved tough puzzles through word of mouth from your friends, or buying the strategy guide. I still run through it once a year, man what a masterpiece, and what a fantastic era of gaming.

I have a lot of favorite games. But, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, FFVI, Galaxy, and Shadow Hearts 2 are some of my favorites.

I had Silver, but that's still a classic. And a damn good one.

That's exactly how it was for me playing through Sly 2. I must've cleared that game 30 times before touching Sly 3.
Mods, if I posted this in the wrong forum, please move it elsewhere.

Pikmin... something about bonding with those little flower people. Plus I liked the time limit factor.. gave the game a challenge

So hard to pick just one, Zelda Ocarina of Time, GTA SA, The Last of Us, Mass Effect 2.

First thought is Ultima VI. I put in so many hours on that game when it came out. I was 13 when it came out and I split the game with a friend of mine. We had a lot of fun playing it together and separately. And it seemed like we played it forever! It was a time when there weren't 50 million games coming out every day and you only owned a small handful of games (and this applied to pc and console gaming.) It really allowed you to focus on one game for a long time.
In more modern times, I'd say the first Borderlands. I spent so many hours playing that game solo and ten times as many hours playing co-op with my nephew. It's just a lot fun. We've played through all things Borderlands and just started the Pre-Sequel last night!
*edit* I suppose in between these two I should put Unreal Tournament 2k4 fragball mod. I didn't do a whole lot of gaming from the mid 90s on for many years but I did play online FPS games pretty consistently and latched on to the fragball mod and remember it fondly.

Secret of Mana
This was my summer of 94'. Great memories playing this with my brother. The soundtrack is still one of the best ever.
Runners up would be Mega Man 2, KOF 98' and Suikoden.

We are really enjoying it. Played for a few hours. I think we completed 9 or so missions (maybe 2-3 of those were main story ones.) I'm playing Wilhelm and my nephew is Claptrap. Claptrap's random skill thingie is funky but it's ok. Low grav and the need for oxygen is interesting but not bothersome or anything. The story and the humor are good so far. It's just real similar to the other BL games so if you liked those and want more BL action and looting then it's what the dr. ordered.

Mulled this over a bit and have to say Spelunky, though Portal/Portal 2 are close behind. I've put so many hours into Spelunky that it has to take the honors. Honorable mention also for Super Mario Bros 3.

Funny you mention that. I remember when Ruby/Sapphire came out, I was disappointed there wasn't 24 gyms and 3 regions.
For myself...it's tough. Off the top of my head, going to go with Halo and Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Mine would probably be Zelda: OOT with Mario world, Zelda lttp, mario rpg and earthbound close behind. Crazy to think I'm all Sony these days even though my top ten would possibly be all Nintendo games.

So hard to choose only one game, but I must. Contra on the original NES. I learned how to recognize patterns, memorize enemy locations, and most importantly it taught me how to cheat. 30 lives baby!
