What are your favorite games/series from any time on any platform and why?
One of my favorites is apknite's tiles hop. love that it's more difficult than it looks. The 1st songs are easy, but it get crazy much harder. Also, I can upload my own songs to play. There are pretty many genres and types of music

Minecraft. Childhood nostalgia and the fact that it can be very fun to not only play singleplayer, but with other people, and there are an infinity of ways to play it. I've probably played this game 1000+ hours.
Portal. Very fun puzzle game that introduces the possibility of portal physics, which makes it even more interesting. I haven't played Portal 2 though.
Super Smash Bros Brawl. This was my very first Smash game, so a large part of the reason why I like it has to do with nostalgia. Though I have to agree that it isn't very good in the competitive aspect (that's why Project M was made), I like it nevertheless.
Tetris. It's a very fun and addicting puzzle game, I don't get bored of it quickly.
TLOZ:MM (Though I haven't completed OOT). The "you can use a mask for each situation" dynamic is interesting.
Super Smash Flash 2. Even though it's a flash game, it's very well made, and I really like it.


I'm not into RPG games, (I've tried many times to get into them, with no success).
In every single Pokémon game I've played I have gotten stuck in an area without being able to progress through the story.

A difficult question to answer, but here goes:

- Super Mario World, SNES: imho this is THE definitive platform game, and the best in one of the greatest videogame series of all time, achingly clever, refined, creative. Like many Nintendo games on the SNES it still feels fresh and worth playing.
- Lemmings/Oh No More Lemmings!, Amiga: One of the smartest strategy/puzzle games ever. Just an incredible piece of design.
- The Secret of Monkey Island, Amiga/PC: THE definitive point and click, never bettered in terms of the writing and humour. This and the sequel are firmly lodged in my childhood imaginary.
- Portal, PC: Astoundingly clever take on the 1st person shooter format. The sequel didn't come close to the original for me in terms of level design and sheer complexity. One of the few games (along with Lemmings, actually) that actually changed how I dreamt when I was playing it.
- Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Switch/Wii U: I played this game, on and off, for two years. It's the only game ever that I didn't want to finish. Just incredible, from a design point of view, but definitely one of the most immersive games I have ever played.
- Rollercoaster Tycoon, PC: I had to add this, just because it sapped up so much of my time in my late teens. But only with the hacked 'sandbox' mode enabled. Infinite money and a flat park = endless creativity. Hardly I have ever been so creative in a videogame since.

Ocarina of Time - The game was one of the first I had ever played, and has stuck with me to today. Every day when I was in kindergarten, I would day-dream about what I was going to do in Ocarina of Time when I got home. I thought of different things in the game and I would try them out. I even did make-believe stories in the game with the NPCs. The game became my digital stomping grounds to explore in. Some days I would just walk around Hyrule Field. Others, I hung out at the Gerudo Fortress, or Castle Town, or Kakariko Village, or Romani Ranch, or Zoras Domain, etc. Definitely kept me occupied.

My favourite single player games would have to be:

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
(SNES)
Super Metroid (SNES)
Perfect Dark (N64)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
Metal Gear Solid (PS1)

Those games simultaneously give me the fondest memories as well as being able to jump back in and play them any time and not fee like it's a chore.


As for multiplayer it's a really tough choice, but it'd be:

Halo 3 (360)
Team Fortress 2 (PC)
GoldenEye 007 (N64)
Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour (PC)
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch (PC)

These are always so much fun to jump back into, and I've had the most fun and laughs out of all the other multiplayer games I've sunk time into.

bioshock games - if one which was rumoured to come out for the vita I'd buy a vita even if the machine was 200 quid - shocking how this series looks no more

It's the single reason I got a Vita.
To bad they canceled it, here's to hoping a dev build will surface one day.

I think it's easier to just say the series
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series has to be my favorite. All of them have some of the best stories told in the Pokemon games, amazing characters, emotionally thrashing endings, and just so much to love. Even Gates to Infinity, my least favorite, is still one a great game with an ending that actually got a tear out of me.
Shin Megami Tensei series, I have yet to find a game in this series that I didn't fall in love with. The dark settings, the bleak stories, and the art style of each game just make it hard to put them down.
Persona series, Everything great the SMT games, put a school sim, plus more humor, and also Persona 5 introduced the best waifu, Tae Takemi.

I love her so much <3
Yakuza series, I was introduced to these games by my ex and her and I still love to share our stories about these games. I've never found a game series with such an over the top, dramatic, and often the super serious story, but with a world that almost seems to mock the story. Like one minute you are fighting for your friend's honor and see a man cut off his own pinky and it's serious as fuck, the next you are fighting a crazy man with an eyepatch who calls you, "Kiryu-chan~" and is dressed like a police offer because he's insane. The games are fucking so over the top and just so Japanese, just play them.

Portal: I love its premise, its gameplay and GLaDOS. The first one still holds a special place for me but I've got to admit, the second's "Old Aperture" segments were really well made and added a lot to the backstory. It's amazing how its creators managed to craft such a surprisingly well-fitting story inside HL2's universe with so little characters.

Fallout New Vegas: I think I've already mentioned here somewhere how much I like this game but I'll say it again nevertheless. Simply put, it's an open world RPG done right. There's a lot of depth to everything: story, characters, factions, locations and so on. One of its aspect I adore is how there are no good guys or bad guys, even the ones you give for granted always have a darker/brighter side. No matter what future you decide to give New Vegas, it will never be a perfect one.

Pokémon (Gens 2 & 5): On one hand, I still think GSC have halways had an upper edge on the others. Maybe it was being able to explore two full regions in a single game, maybe it's due to the team going all out and trying to make the best possible game at the time due to it being "the grand finale that never happened". On the other, however, I admit BW/BW2 had solid battle mechanics (way better than the pre-gen 4 ones), a great story and a harder difficulty curve than all the other games.

F-Zero GX: If the goddamn devil would show up in front of my face right now and tell me he could convince Nintendo to make an enhanced version of this game in exchange for my soul, I wouldn't even let him finish his sentence and sign his pact with my finest blood. Tough as nails, but incredibly fun. It's a shame Nintendo simply decided to ignore the franchise altogether.

FTL - Faster Than Light: Addictive. That's the best word to describe FTL. It'll beat you up real bad the first times you play it, it'll make you rage when you think you've got the best possible run just to fall to a completely unexpected random encounter, it'll make you feel bad when you see your favourite crew member die because of some ill advised decision you made. But once you're finally able to defeat the rebel flagship you'll just want more, either because you'll want to try one of the myriad of other ships and loadouts or to look for that one evasive perfect run.

It would be like going through gaming history, but Tomb Raider, Metroid, Zelda, Samurai Shodown, Mario Bros, and many other series that don't want to be remembered right now.
