Best console game ever?

ff7

MGS3 (Im only on the first act in MGS4 so that may change, but MGS3 is simply brilliant for a game/movie/book/whatever, one of the best plot twists of all time)

GTA San Andreas

Mario 64

Tekken 4

Tomb Raider 1

Deus Ex (The best PC game ever, theres a console port which sucked so I guess it still qualifies as a console game)

I cant really list any old school games, I had an NES and I loved them when they came out but compared to games of today they arent very good. But my favorite old school games were probably Bionic Commando, SMB 2, Street Fighter 2 turbo, Out of this World, Flashback.
 
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

For me that game is hands down the best game of all time.

It's more than just a game to me. Some of my best memories of my mother are her and I playing that game. I always had to kill the "big rar-rars" (bosses) for her. :)

That game will always hold a very special place in my heart.

Tough one...

I have a hard time picking a single favorite, but Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metroid Prime, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles (when you attach the cartridges), and Super Smash Bros Brawl (and Melee) all rank up there.

If PC games count, then Portal. :)

My buddies and I were drinking last night and the topic of our favorite console games came up.

Now I'm from the old school, being raised on the original 8-bit Nintendo. Zelda and Metroid are probably first and second on my list, although Castlevania Symphony of the Night for the Playstation is right up there too.

I'm curious to see what you guys and gals think....

For me the best console game ever is Mercenaries.

^I'll leave that to GFLPraxis to put that in his list:p

I'm going to add ICO & SoTC to my list because those games got me back into gaming.

Thank you! I was just reading through this thread and wondering how the heck those games hadn't been given a mention yet, particularly ICO.
 
A lot of people are selecting multiple games. We've had many lists like that before (on MacRumors, here, not to mention website everywhere....!).

No. What would be your ONE top console game of all time...of all systems? Don't list your favorites. Just list one game. Period. It's difficult, yes...but what's your first gut response?

Me? Super Mario World (SNES)
 
Nobody else said Mercenaries except me. :eek:
If a lot more people played it, then a lot more people would've said that it's their favourite console game. :rolleyes:
 
Super Metroid

The Legend of Zelda

Kid Icarus

Castlevania SotN

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Super Mario Bros. 3

Castlevania

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

meh! There were and are plenty of people here who have played it.

To me the game was fun in small doses, but fundamentally it was the same thing over and over again ad nausium.

Fun but by no means a perfect / classic example or best game on a console. But I respect your opinion.

I played it and it was a far cry from my fave console game.
 
I can't even begin to think of any current gen games that are even close to matching the fun I've had with Super Mario Bros.

Since SMB3 is the best then yeah, I'd give a vote to SMB3 with some confidence though it's still a tough decision.
