Best console game ever?

I thought 9 was better than 8 :eek:

Of all things the story line was pathetic IMHO. They threw stuff at you from left field constantly, and the story changed three times (typical) just on disk 4 (not typical) and at the very end some new super demi-god character just appears at the end and starts messing with you.... :mad:

GTA III (PS2)
Goldeneye (N64)
Oregon Trail (PC)
SMB 3 (1 and 3 are both great, but 3 > others) (NES/SNES)
Zelda: OoT (N64)
NCAA Football 2002 (PS2) (Joey Harrington on the cover... as a Duck fan, that game got me in to the NCAA franchise and I've bought every title since)

Not in any order, but those games were all great to me and to this day I will play them all if I have a chance. Other games (mainly sports ones, but some shooters or RPGs) I logged tons upon tons of hours on but they aren't as great overall as the ones above to me.

Pick 1. Which would be your one favorite if you could only pick one?
 
For me it would be a toss up between two games on the SNES. Street Fighter II turbo or Mario Kart SNES. I loved both of them to death and me and my mates played them for hours every weekend in our teens.

Other than that Jack Attack on the Commodore 16 when I was young.

Mario Kart no contest!

and I couldn't be beat!
 
I have a friend that worked on FF7. why is it that guys my age didn't really like FF7, but yet all of the younger guys do? :p

If I could only take one game on a console and it was just me playing, I would choose RE4 Wii.

The original Super Mario Bros. on the NES would be my favorite. Animal Crossing and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (both on the Gamecube) come pretty dang close, though.

I'd like to give shoutouts to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and BioShock, though. :p
 
Then again, when the predecessor wasn't as good as some of the proceedings, one just expects better. I can see how some would be wowed by the newfangled 3D graphics for the time. :)

But then again, I'm a hypocrite, I couldn't get into the game and only saw it finished because my friend drudged through it. :eek:

For some reason when I hear console I still think cart based games...kind of odd. DVD and CD doesn't have the same feel and allure to me. There's been some great games, but something about the cart just makes things so much more epic to me. A lot games people list here were great to play through once, but I'd be hard pressed to play them again and again like Mario 1 or 3, Super Mario World or the Sonics. Just great, innovative gameplay. No story, just gaming.
 
I am surprised not one mention of Atari. I grew up on the Atari 2600, skipped the NES and went to the Atari 7800 because a friend already had the NES. Am I too old? Or is it just that the 2600 games were too short due to low memory of the carts?

I see many mentions of the Super Mario Worlds for Nintendo which was a great series. But many don't know that the mario bros. started on the 2600.

Pole Position
Mountain King
Donkey Kong
Missile Command
Frogger
Q-bert
Asteroids
Centipede
Pac-man
Pitfall

Good times! :)

As far as my best game due to so many hours logged it would have to be...
Super Smash Bros. - N64

Also good times. To anyone who wants a little challenge with a side-scroller mental teaser game I highly recommend these titles. They were out for both the SNES and Sega Genesis/Mega-drive. I beat these when I was a teenager and then recently bought them and beat them again.
