    Indeed, you (nearly) all suck massive donkey pole.

    Deus Ex, by a country mile.

    Anyone who disagrees shall be among the first against the wall.

    Half Life should get an honourable mention though

    Deus ex isn't a FPS. Its a hybrid of a FPS and RPG. More RPG in fact. Give it a chance its fantastic.

    Deus Ex needs to be given at least a week, I told all my mates who had given up on it to go back and give it 5 days, they all ended up addicted, to a man. Once the skills start to build it'll have you by the short and curlies.

    <edit>Oh yeah and what he said ^^^^ about donkies.

    Deus Ex
    System Shock 2
    Freespace 2
    Grim Fandango

    That's it. I can't narrow it down anymore. If I think longer they're likely to be sniped off by others anyway, tis too tight at the top.

    I don't believe it, five pages and nobody has once mentioned the True best game ever:

    Planescape Torment

    and for second well I just can't decide between Operation Flashpoint & Elite.

    If I would go by the most addictive games, I would say, the entire Final Fantasy Series.
    don't really think there is a best game ever.
    allthough Asteroids used to kick ass, LOL
    otherwise.

    GT3
    Final Fantasy (all parts, except maybe the 8th )
    Deus EX
    Fallout 1 and 2
    Carmageddon
    Street Fighter 2 turbo
    Mortal combat 1
    Rock n' Roll Racing (best racing ever)
    F-Zero
    and could go on for days.
    and, oh yeah, PITFALL

    Mild addictions to Gorf, Moon Patrol, Sensible Soccer and a mention to Space Invaders and Donkey Kong out of pure respect.

    also forgot to mention GTA3. Only a handful of games give you that feeling when you first fire them up, and you think "yeah, this is something VERY special". GTA3 was one of them, FFVII and HL2 are some of the others.

    Arrgh ... so many games. To narrow it down, I would have to say the following games deprived me of my youth:

    1. Championship Manager Series (01 / 02 specifically at a push)
    2. Final Fantasy VII

    I'd like an honourable mention for Cinemaware's Wings on the Amiga 600, Rock N' Roll Racing on the SNES and Speedball on the Amiga. Oh, also X-Wing on the PC and Tie Fighter on the PC, they were class ;)
