Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
 

I think it is pretty ridiculous to do this with no categories, just all video games bundled into one topic.

That said, I have a few (somewhat esoteric) nominations.

World of Warcraft
Final Fantasy XI
Katamari Damacy
Final Fantasy Tactics

But...yeah...no way this is going to work without categories.

Maybe something like:
Singleplayer RPG
First Person Shooter
Platformer
Online Multiplayer (MMOs and games like Unreal Tournament might all fall into this category)
Innovative (ie Dance Dance Revolution, Katamari Damacy)
Fighting

This might be a good starting point for a list.

Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
 

1) Super Smash Brothers (N64)
2) Super Mario RPG (SNES)
3) Zelda: A link to the past (SNES)

Super Mario RPG is very underrated if you ask me.

My nominations will go by system, and I will definately leave out some greats by accident

Nes: Mario3
Snes: Chrono Trigger, Super Mario World, FF3, Street Fighter 2, Zelda: Link to the Past, Mario Kart (so many more)
Genesis- Sonic 3 W/ Sonic and Knuckles attatched
PSX- FF7, MGS1, Resident Evil
N64- Goldeneye, Zelda: Ocarina of time
PS2- Madden (in general), GTA San Andreas, FFX
GC- RESIDENT EVIL 4, Smash Bros
XBox- Halo (1 or 2, doesnt really matter)
PC- Diablo 2, Neverwinter Nights,

Edit: Any Metroid game, but esp the SNES version

Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
 

Mike Tyson Punchout for NES
Legend of Zelda NES
Tecmo Football/Baseball for NES
Madden 03 for XBox/PS2
Mortal Kombat 2 for SNES?
Street Fighter 2 for SNES
Sonic The Hedgehog for Sega Genesis

Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
 

Nobody's mentioned Halo 2 on Xbox Live?

How about Grand Theft Auto?

Re: Greatest Video Game... nominations first...
 

At the very least I hope you will split this into two separate polls, one for PC games and one for console games.

Personally I was never that much of a console buff, so I'll focus on the PC side of things.

My nominations:

X-Com: UFO Defense
Baldurs Gate 2
Everquest
Doom
Masters of Orion 2
Starcraft
Warcraft 2
Masters of Magic
Diablo 2
Ghost Recon
X-Wing/Tie Fighter
Jagged Alliance
Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer: Generals

Each of these games had a pretty profound impact on me and my computer game life.
