Also I must explain, I only put games I have played, I haven't played the newer Virtua Fighters, Skate, PGR 3, etc. Also SIlent Hill 4 is my favorite Survival Horror more based on story than gameplay. It has the best story of almost any game I've ever played, maybe #1.

You say its the greatest sport and I agree but the video game equalivent you play is a pile of shit, PFFFT FIFA do you know what ProEvo is or do you just like all the pretty shirts in FIFA? :) Pro Evo 6 (soon to be 7) is the better football game and this has been a fact since ISS Pro Evo Soccer II on the PSONE.
1st Person Shooter - Soldier of Fortune 3rd Person Shooter - Gears of War Real Time Strategy - Warcraft 3 Role Playing Game - Dragon Warrior 2 Side Scroller - Rushin' Attack Fighter - Soul Calibur 2 Racer - Suziki Alstare (DC) Survival Horror - RE4 Wrestling - WWF No Mercy
I had that on the nes. here's a tip for all those playing Rushin' Attack: If you play on one player and you die you respawn at the start of the level, on two player you respawn where you die, therefore if you are playing it alone, put it on 2player anyway and allow player 2 to just die.
1st Person Shooter - Metroid Prime 1 with Metroid Prime 3 at a VERY close second 3rd Person Shooter - Metal Gear Solid - The whole series (it isn't exactly a "shooter" but close enough) Real Time Strategy - Age of Empires 2 and Starcraft at a tie. Role Playing Game - Suikoden 1 Side Scroller - This is a hard one. Batman (NES) is one of my favorites, as is Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle (NES). I pick both of these. Fighter - Mortal Kombat 2 Racer - I'm not really a fan of racing games, but I did like Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2 Survival Horror - Resident Evil 1 Remake for the Gamecube Wrestling - Fire Prowrestling R
1st Person Shooter - I've never been able to get into these. I've been shot at and shot at people in rl, so I just never found a game appealing. 3rd Person Shooter - I'll say Metal Gear series all tie Real Time Strategy - Warcraft 3 Role Playing Game - Oblivion Side Scroller - Double Dragon Fighter - Karate Champ Racer - Gran Tourismo 4 Survival Horror - Resident Evil 4 GC Wrestling - Fire Prowrestling R/KOC II/VPW 2- My answer changes constantly, and sometimes No Mercy makes it in there as well. Depends on my mood I guess. Adventure: Tomb Raider/GTA series Platform: Super Mario Bros. Arcade: Dragon's Lair/Wrestlefest - Both ate my quarters at an alarming rate.
EDIT: Added a few that I didn't think of the first time.
I really had to think about this list but here it goes:
1st person shooter- Half Life 2 easy choice 3rd person shooter- Gears of War easy choice again Real Time Strategy- Star Craft I'm not into these types of games but this one was fun Role Playing Game- Ys The Oath In Felghana this was a tough choice but I really like this one Adventure- God of War another tough call because I like alot adventure games Sports- Madden I'm crazy about football games Madden has it's flaws but it's still the best out there Side Scroller- Double Dragon I played the arcade all the time Fighter- King of Fighters 2000 I'm crazy about this game Racer- Need for Speed Most Wanted My favorite racer in my favorite series Survival Horror- Fatal Frame I own all the Resident Evils and Silent Hills but I like this one the most for some reason Wrestling- No Mercy/Fire Pro Wrestling Returns This was the hardest one to pick so I picked them both I put 300+ hours into No Mercy and it was great but Fire Pro is the deepest wrestling game I have ever played
[quote][cite] Spunk:[/cite]Man, nobody plays adventure games. Kinda make me sad. Have people been depraved of the Monkey Island, etc. games?[/quote]
Adventure games are my favorite games next to wrestling games. I also would lump the Metal Gear Solid series into Adventure. Some of my favorite adventure games of all time are: 1. Ico 2. Shadow of the Colossus 3. Rygar (NES and PS2 ones) 4. Metroid Prime series 5. Metal Gear Solid series 6. Legend of Zelda series 7. God of War (could also be action)
And these are just with the recent systems. There are lots more for the NES and SNES I could name. But, if you are into the classic point and click adventure titles like you mentioned (such as Monkey Island), then check out this website: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ Adventure Game Studio is a game programming tool that lets users build classic point and click style games. The users of the forums are always releasing games over there, and so there are a lot of awesome games to download for free.
