I'd have to say the classic age of empire game, the very first one. It kept me hooked for a long time in my childhood. I remember how me and my brother would wait to get home to play it after school.

In college we had a  guy that ran a great game of Paranoia.  Nothing like playing a game that the computer runs to world and the rules are simple the computer is your friend.  Always follow the computer rules and never belong to a secret organization.  Then every player is a member of one of several secret organization that are either pro or anti computer in someway.  Then the computer assigns a group to go do a task for it.  Just trying to live a few games was always a challenge.

I was one of those who fell in love with RDR2 after it came out. Set a massive bar and was an awesome experience during a time (and one that still exists) of games being lackluster or trying to tease you with features only to be shitty in nearly every other aspect of the game. It had no false promises and knew what it wanted to be as a game.

Otherwise, Minecraft will remain timeless to me. Big part of my teen years.

Easily goldeneye the story mode was a ton of fun but the split screen multiplayer was so much fun I have so many great memories but man it sucked when you had that one friend who always picked odd job as their character 

I wont be sentimental here, i will chose by some criteria such as graphics, gameplay, storyline, music, and actor performances. So this game will be a nextgen one.

I wiil have to go with THE LAST OF US (part 1), this game has everything. But man, the storyline got me hanging on my controller throughout the game like i was a 3rd character inside the game spectating from a corner. Epic game

Not to mention the perfect stealth system and fight mechanics. Strongly recommend even now that many years passed to play it.

My choice was toes to toes with God of War

The Last of Us is probably the most perfect game... but I have a real soft spot for GTA San Andreas.  

Me ,my brother and friends would get stoned,,and head down to 9th street park and play some Basketball. shirts against the skins i remember it like yesterday,and i'am now 55  it was so much fun getting the excercise,and have fun smaking the shots down,by blocking them cause i was about 6 ft.   definitely helped me out in that sport ,,,in the end we all would sit back and drink a 12pk...of beer and reminice,about the game and life included..

Conflict Desert Storm  actually the whole series. I loved playing the sniper or the demolitions expert. 

Am currently playing a lot of games and all of them are very good, so I couldn't tell you which one is the best. But I can tell you I'm never bored of them. 

Black on PS2. It felt like next-gen at the time. Good fighting, gun play,destructible locations and good vibe.

Recently on gamepass I went back to it, thrilled for the experience. It felt outdated though and I realized some games are better in memory than to play them again years later.

All in all, replayability is a big factor. Few games give me that desire these days.

Hmm tough choice, so many epic, different console games out there. If I was choosing PC I'd have to go with the original Diablo / 2. Can't count how many countless nights I'd stay up as a kid doing PvP or clan wars.

Until 12 years ago I played Dark-Future. 

I started it because my son told me it was a nice mafia game. 

It became an addiction, 
but a fun one. 

And it made quite a few friends. 

Too bad the game has stopped.

So for me it was racquetball.  I started playing racquetball late in life but I fell in love with it.  Something about smashing that ball as hard as I could and making that sound, echoing through out the 20x40 box I was in.  I became obsessed with it.  I would train for hours on end then put my name on the challenge board and get my azz kicked and do it all over again.

I wanted to win eventually so I continued to train and soon, I was beginning to win and if you won you stayed on that court to face the next challenger and so on until you lost.

Soon, I was winning more than I was losing and now I was really addicted.  Started buying all new gear, experimenting with what seemed to work best for me.

Next thing I know I am entering in tournaments.  It was awesome and fun and I will always have those memories.

Snakes and Ladders or Guess Who? have always been my favourites. I'm unbeatable at Guess Who? so that really helps in why I like it so much. The boss level is quite hard though, especially for beginners.
