Gamer Nerdfighters Unite!!

So, through browsing some profiles, I have realised there are many gamer nerds out there! So I would like to hear what your favourite game of all time is! Or what you feel is the most overrated game of all time.

So I'll start! My favourite game of all time, and I believe, a contender for best game created, is Chrono Trigger!
That game is friggin aaaamazing...a masterpiece of an RPG, and a standard by which RPG's are created today. It may be old, but it never feels that way! It has everything you could want. Good music, excellent characters, time travel, multiple endings, and replayability.

I'm an avid fan of Real-Time Strategy, gotta love my Command & Conquer and my Supreme Commander... But I also play things like Call of Duty 4 and Battlefield 2... And then there's World of Warcraft (Emeriss PvP server, Horde, ask for Bunshin/Madrepesc/Forcoliga/Lightshield/Ognesar/Iceblitz). But you just can't ask someone to choose between their games!

If you head over to http://quemada.co.uk/nerdfighters you'll see something I have planned. All us gamers could totally make that project so much more awesome.

That game is amazing. <3

I'm also a huge fan of all of the Elder Scrolls, Jade Empire, Rise of Nations and Splinter Cell.

The most overrated, for me, would have to be Ocarina of Time

I know the platforming controls were basically a rip-off of Blizzard's Black Thorne but for me that's not what made the game. Oddworld was innovative in the sense that it pioneered GameSpeak, a concept that is utilized in many high profile games today (the Fable series to name one) and may very well have been a stepping stone to the modern day in-game emote (/wave, anyone?). Also, the art was awesome. The Scrab is, in my opinion, a triumph of human design creativity. Also, no weapons. But you could possess people, and most methods of dispatching your enemies were strictly environmental or through the actions of aforementioned possessed character. Is there anything more worthy of a "ZOMG?" I think not.

Most overrated game? I'm sad to say that Nintendo's Super Mario Galaxy simply could not hold my attention for more that 30 stars. It sits alone, collecting dust as I become more proficient in Warhawk piloting. Sorry, Nintendo. Sad face.

Whenever I feel adventurious I play Myst.
Whenever I just want to hop on something after school so I can play and Socialise, it's either - WoW, Lineage, Rose, Ragnarok or whatever online game I'm playing at the current time!

Whenever I'm at my parents house I watch how my brother kicks ass in every possible game on any console he owns.

Whenever I've done all the above and I hit rockbottom of boredom and tried anything to amuse myself I turn to either Neopets or Gaia online - oof.
