Say you had to marry a video game and you could only be with that game the rest of your life and play no others. What game would you select? It can only be one game so no swinger (multiple) answers allowed, lol pretend your on a desert island (with electricity lol) with a 40" 1080p Samsung Lcd and you can have only one video game to play for the rest of your life.

Here is my choice:

NHL94 on the Sega Genesis
I am a Football fan, but this game made me a hockey fan back in the day! It represents everything a video game should be; FUN!

As great as our technology and graphics are today, a lot of modern games have lost the focus of the FUN aspect.

NHL94 has unlimited addictive replay value especially if you have friends around...it is the ultimate party game and one of the first games to allow four players at once!!

I have been playin this masterpiece again on the Gens emulator paired with the wired xbox 360 controller and I must say it is a match made in heaven!!

Super Mario brothers I absolutely loved that game. My second choice would be Pacman on the Atari. I know you said no swingers but I still included my second choice :D

NHL94/95 OR PunchOut!

Street Fighter 2 Turbo is also a consideration.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Have it on the Wii and go back all the time (when the relative stop borrowing the dang system, that is!).

Hell yeah. The laptop gun is awesome- I used to love tossing it behind someone hiding under cover. Too good.

Unfortunately the framerate was freaking awful.

The only game every year that holds my interest from release to following release is FIFA, so I'd have to go with that.

Ha, I guess so. I like FIFA because I personally think it's the better game now. EA has gone above and beyond anything that PES has done over the last few years in terms of refining their engine and making the gameplay better. Not to say there aren't issues with FIFA, but the developers do a great job of listening to the community and addressing them. The release of UEFA 2008 proved that because it is easily the best soccer game ever made (even though I'm not a fan of country football).

Plus, I love my EPL clubs and not being able to play as them just bothers me. It used to be a trade off but it simply isn't any more. The best "next-gen" football experience is the FIFA series in my opinion. Many reviews from die hard soccer fans said the same thing last year and the Metacritic numbers (for whatever they are worth) ranked FIFA above PES last year as well.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess ;)

Im suprised more people dont say online games. I would get bord with any game, great or not, if it was the same thing over and over. Online play keeps things fresh.

Id say Counter Strike. Most of my friends play it, and its definitely my favorite FPS. dont know why...

The correct answer is of course Diablo 2.

However I give props to the guy who said Fort Apocalypse.. that game ruled.

lets update this tread, PS3 games only. I still have not found a game that I really really like, possibly Red Dead Redemption will be the one.

For now my vote goes to Civ Revolutions

I think the OP should remove online games as a possibility. I know my wife doesnt get whole body make overs every 3 months or so!

For me, the answer is MOO2 or Master of Orion 2 for those that don't know. I could play that forever. :cool:

I'd say it's a toss-up between BlazBlue and Red Dead Redemption. Neither is my favorite game, but I could happily put more hours into either of those than any other.

Why? Some of us play games almost solely for the online content. I don't think there is a single offline game out there that could hold my interest for more then 1-2 months.

For me it would be a toss up between Street Fighter and WoW. Street Fighter has had it's claws in me for the past year, but I think WoW gives the best overall experience if your stuck playing 1 game for eternity.

but seriously if you liked NHL 94, you should really try NHL 09 or 10, they really made the game fun again

NHL94, was that the game you had to shoot the puck over the goalie's head from the blue line in order to score? Oh no, it was Stanley Cup Hockey (or something like that, on SNES). That game would keep me playing for ages trying to find a way to score a legit goal :p It was impossible to score without that glitch :D
