My favorite games tend to be anything that has a strong multiplayer option.
I rarely tend to play games by myself. When I'm alone, I'm often working on some sort of project, or playing an Online game, such as Unreal Tournament.
I like playing games for the social aspect, and for the feeling you get from trying to hunt down, or outplay your buddy, or even some random person over the Internet. I just can't get that same feeling playing against the computer, or a "story mode" kind of game. I prefer the interaction.
Now that I've established that, my favorite games for:
PC:
-the Unreal Tournament series (preferrably without mods...I don't like mods :pP)
-Stepmania (
Stepmania.com)
-Diablo II
-Serious Sam series
-Quake 3 (I want to get Quake 4, but I need a new processor first :angry: )-Gunbound, to an extent
Gamecube:
-Mario Party 5
-Mario Party 7
-Super Smash Bros: Melee
-Super Mario Strikers
X-Box:
-NHL 2006
-Crimson Skies
-More that I can't think of right now
PS2:
-The Dance Dance Revolution series
-Twisted Metal: Black
-More that I can't think of right now
I was never really into playing games for the story. To me, games were a source of interaction and fun with my friends. I find the big single-player games take too much dedication, and I just can't hold my interest in them that long, on my own.
