Well, to me Xenogears story is on par with Lufia 2 and probably Terranigma's story as my favourite of all time :)

FFX... or P3FES.

Hard to decide.

Best game in my book is no doubt Metal Gear Solid 4.

The game(s) i put most hours into are either Aliens (arcade), Street Fighter 2 (arcade), Final Fight (arcade), Devil May Cry 3 and Devil May Cry 4. The last two are somewhere between 250 - 300 hours, but the first ones...hell, i spent a 'large' portion of my childhood kickin' and screamin' in front of the machines ^_^

I don't know how to define the best game ever but I'm gonna list the few games that just completely captivated me for their time and I was blown away.

Resident Evil
WWF Warzone
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

Resident Evil I didn't even play at first. I stayed up all night on christmas break watching my older brother play the game and I was just completely captivated by the game and even more so when I finally played it myself. I never was so afraid of dying in a game before in my life, and I never have been ever since. Resident Evil gave me a feeling of survival that no other game will ever give me ever again(RE2 & 3 come close). The only other thing that can come close is when the score is tied 3-3 on search and destroy and you hear the "Comrade, get it done, you're the only one left." I love that pressure.

WWF Warzone, I was in middle school and just got really big into wrestling from my friends talking about it. I finally got this game and it was a combination of me being consumed by the wrestling world and the huge leap the game took compared to the old wrestling games. I was blown away. I didn't have cable so I didnt get to watch Raw, just the saturday night shotgun program that came on at 1am on local tv, so this game was one of my only ways into the wrestling world which I had little access to. This was also before I had/knew of the internet.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is probably the best game I have ever played. It did everything I ever wanted in a video game. It gave me great story, great character development, great pacing, great atmosphere, great graphics, great action, a sense of realism and fun gameplay to boot. I still think it is light years ahead of Uncharted 2 because it gave that epic feeling without having to result to extreme(even for video games) over the top action every 5 minutes.

The best game that I ever played was Metal Gear Solid 4, despite being my first metal gear solid game (I read to get the backgroung though).

My runners-up would be Deus Ex and Ultima 8. Both great games in their time.

Jagged Alliance 2 11/10

outstanding, unmatched, orgasmic ,awsome, gigantic extraordinary versatile deep gameplay!!!

Too hard for me to decide..

Super Mario World
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Galaxy
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Zelda: Wind Waker

I was gonna say it'd have to be one of those but really, the best game I've played, the game I kept going back to and became a lifestyle through my childhood is definitely:

- Pokemon Blue -

Absolutely Chrono Trigger.

I mean SotC comes pretty close and I do love it, but you just can't touch Chrono Trigger. There isn't a single aspect of CT that I did not love.

First thing to come to mind is Resident Evil 4. MGS3 comes second.

Both games were just amazingly entertaining from beginning and to end and I replayed them countless times without ever getting bored.

my favorite game would be kirby 64 the crystal shards! A really good 2.5d platformer in the N64 days.
then comes super mario all stars (close second) or super mario 64.
and a close 3rd would be the legend of Zelda: oracle of seasons/time...
