what do you think the best game is ever?
Think about lengh of the game, graphics, role-play and the story of the game.

*********************************

I got bored listing them, but you get the general idea.

I think it's safe to say that there is NO definitive "best game ever", as they are all great in their own way, e.g. you can't compare a great FPS to a great driving simulator, they are totally different.

If I had to choose one based on how long I'd spent playing it, then it would be either :

DOOM (PC)
Red Alert (PS1)
Perfect Dark (N64)
Super Mario World (SNES)
Street Fighter 2 (SNES)
or
Unreal Tournament (PC)

That is all .... :D
