Yes, because in the US we learn that numbers don't fucking matter, because if some country tries to say they do, we can just bomb there asses.

You see the metric system here in the US?!  Fuck no... we do NOT accept a number system from other countries.  You think this war in Iraq is about terrorism... HELL NO, it's about NUMBERS son!!!

Fuckin metric system pukes!

I basically love all the Metal Gear games, but those are my favorites. I'm currently working on beating Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for MSX. Man, is that game sweet or what?

Another one of my favorite games is Quackshot for Sega Genesis.

None of my friends think it's good, just because the main character is Donald Duck. They never even played the game.

This game is totally sweet!! Has anyone else played Quackshot for Genesis?

Ok let's see:

FPS-
Battlefield 1942 (this is just a bad ass WW-II sim)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (when I don't feel like quite so much realism but want team play)
and Q-III or UT:2k3 for fragalicious fun (and I am sorry but UC sucks the big one, a controller is no equal to mouse and keyboard)
Of course for uber present day realism I go for any of the Clancy games.

RTS-
Starcraft (eh give me Protoss any day over those sickening Orcs and humans of WC)
Force Commander (not strictly an RTS but fun as hell)

RPG-
Neverwinter Nights (Hell I'm running Linux on my XBox just so I can run a NWN server from it, and I'll give the NWN client a try when it is out)
Morrowind (PC version NOT XBox)
Daggerfall

Console-
FF-I (sorry I hate the techno crap they put into it, the original is still the best in my opinion)
Splinter Cell (Raven Shield will probably beat it out)
All the Metal Gears (though after Sam Fisher, Snake is a wuss)
HALO and Timesplitters II (probably the best and only endearing FPS's I've played on a console)

Of course these are just my opinions and if you don't agree with me, well then you're wrong... j/k  But seriously, this is just what I like.

Top 3 (ish)

Excited to see my top pick hasn't been mentioned

1) Contra (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start) The birth (one of the first) of the console "cheat"

2) Gran Turismo - I agree 110% with 'N00bvin' (notice the lack of regard for numbers) This game raised the bar and set the standard for physics and gameplay when it comes to racing simulators.

3) I'm gonna go on a limb and say (I'm gonna date myself here) Zork (the original). If you know of the game you will understand why I am going on a limb

I loved that game. I used to play it for like 4 hours a day after school when I was a little kid.

Man, I got to go dust off my Genesis and start playing my old games!

Hell... I can't believe it... I forgot John Madden football (I saw someone else mention it thank god)...

This is the game that I've probably logged over 10,000 hours on (we're talking all the versions).  It's the game that stopped me from being an actual athlete to a virtual athlete, and single-handedly is responsible for at least 50 extra pounds of body weight.  Because of this game (with an assist from NBA Live series... from back when it was Lakers vs. Celtics until now) I'm now a semi-fatass, and lucky because I fooled a hot Japanese chick to be my wife.

John Madden is both my strength (I'm damn near undefeatd, with a lifetime winning percentage of .935) and my weakness (I'm naming my child that will be born in May "Touchdown" be it a boy or girl).

John Madden Football, when I first saw it on PS2... after years of playing it on PS1 and Genesis... damn near made me cry with joy (oky, I did cry).  It was beautiful... jaggies and all.

I think I forgot it on my original list because I take it for granted.  I play it everyday... like brushing my teeth or taking a shower, it's just something I do.  

Yes, I would have to say that John Madden Football when my "Lifetime Achievement Award" for video games.  It seems like many folks here love RPGs... and in my experience, those two genres of games are not like by the same people.  If you like RPGs, then in all likelyhood you'll think I'm insane.  If you're a sports game fanatic like I am... I think you will understand...

Viva la Madden!!!

Morrowind (PC version NOT XBox)

why's that?

Um because you can make new quests, worlds, hell a whole new game if ya want with the PC version.  It literally has one of the most powerfull editors I have ever seen and it comes with the game which is a bonus.  You can edit almost every little mechanic from the editor, how it handles stats and skills, new stats and skills, etc. etc...  XBox ver doesn't have that capability.
