Way of the Rodent

1. Fallout3 (360/PC)
Spent ridiculous amounts of time on this, bought all DLC. Definitely got moneys worth.

2. Manic Miner
Simple and yet fiendish.

3. Track 'n' Field (Arcade)
Always a larf when played with other people.

4. Tekken Series
Been a fan since the first one. I like the button-per-limb style too.

5. Ridge Racer 6
First game I bought on the 360 at launch. Perfect arcadey nonsense and looks great.

6. The Pinball Arcade
Don't play a lot of sims, but I do like a good pinball and since the update with improved physics and lighting, this has really come into its own.

7. Tetris
Easy to learn, hard to put down.

8. What now?
Ah right..
CubeRunner (iOS)

You need to add RPG.

And Adventure.

Ah but I don't like those. It's all about me see?

Fair enough. No "favourite trackball game" catagory?

First Person Shooter
Shooter? Far Cry, First-person game that isn't a shooter? Thief II

Platformer (2D or 3D)
Bubble Bobble - perfectly balanced, innovative, still unique.

Sports game
Hyper Sports - because I was really good at it, knew all the easter eggs.

Beat Em Up
International Karate - because it was before the time of having to remember combos.

Driving Game
Road Blasters - cool steering wheel.

Simulator (anything from flight to pinball)
Night Mission pinball on C64 - great game, completely configurable too.

Puzzler
Tetris - it takes a really good one to hold my interest.

App game
Gridrunner - just shooty perfection.

1. First Person Shooter - Quake (the first one). We used to play on a LAN with a mod that had a gravity bomb and a sentry gun. Chucking a gravity bomb at someone then ducking out the way as they got sucked in then crushed never got old. Unreal tournament is a close second but Quake was so much fun.
2. Platformer (2D or 3D) - Chuckie Egg for the beeb. The one true version.
3. Sports game - Sensible Soccer.
4. Beat Em Up - I really want to like Street Fighter but I'm shit at it so I'm going to say IK+
5. Driving Game - Burnout Paradise.
6. Simulator (anything from flight to pinball) - F15 Interceptor on the Amiga - played the shit out of that game.
7. Puzzler - XOR (old 8-bit puzzler with fish and chickens. Played it constantly in the back of my Physics class at school when I was supposed to be working on my Sixth-Year studies paper)
8. App game - Words with friends. It may not be the best one but it's the one I've had most fun interacting with friends on.
9. RTS - Total Annihilation. On the same LAN in my house we used to have epic battles in TA when we got bored of Quake. Awesome game.
10. RPG - I'm going to cheat a little and say Dark Souls (it is sort-of an RPG) ;-)
11. Adventure - Monkey Island. How appropriate, you fight like a cow..

To be honest, if I was to compile a list of my top ten games of all time, only two of those listed below would be in it. That kind of makes this list a bit more interesting for me, as it forced me to think about 'favourite' in a different context.

First-person Shooter:
Exhumed -- while there are perhaps 'better' FPSes out there, and certainly more advanced ones, Exhumed shall forever hold a place in my heart just because it appeared at a very special time for me in my gaming history, when my Sega Saturn seemed just about the greatest thing ever.

Platformer:
Super Mario 64 -- pure perfection from start to finish, combining an inventiveness and level of challenge that Nintendo hasn't got anywhere matching in any Mario game since.

Sports Game:
FIFA International Soccer -- the original one on the Mega Drive was the first football game that got anywhere near being like the real thing and you could run away from the referee if he was going to give you a card, which could result in a yellow being upgraded to a red if you avoided him long enough. And you could tackle the keepers, which always resulted in a straight red.

Beat 'Em Up:
Street Fighter III Third Strike -- tap forward when Ryu's just about to land a punch in Street Fighter IV and you get smacked in the face; do it in Third Strike and you feel like a god.

Driving Game:
Gran Turismo 5 -- pretty much one man's obsessive love letter to the automobile.

Simulator:
Sim City 2000 -- I can't tell you how many hours I've lost in my lifetime agonising over the placement of a virtual road on a piece of virtual land pretending to be the virtual mayor of a virtual city.

Puzzler:
Lumines -- a brilliant game that reminds me of the first time I went to Japan, which is such a special memory for me.

App Game:
Is it okay to not include anything here? Not being funny, but there's not a single App game that I've played on iOS or Android (and it must be over 100 by now) that was anything more than a way to kill time.

Shoot 'Em Up:
Radiant Silvergun -- you shoot up god at the end, which makes it pretty special in my book.

I thought so. It was pretty epic at the time (although I was more of a System Shock fan for sci-fi FPS RPGs). Have you played the newest one?

After the disappointment of IW (which I really didn't get along with) I was really impressed with Human Revolution. It had problems for sure but it felt Deus Ex-ey enough to make me smile as I'm playing through it. If you like the original enough to put it as your favourite fps of all time you should definitely give the 360 one a go, I'm pretty sure it can be picked up for pennies nowadays.

@moobaa You can leave DX:HR. It's.. okay. There are much better games, and much better games to put through the OC wringer. It is absolutely a corridor, only lightly embroidered with alternate paths and really irritatingly laid out hubs with dumb little fetch missions.

1. Battlefield: BC2. The action-comedy vibe was extraordinarily appropriate for a video game and it was stunning to look at. Multiplayer just had the right balance of realism and fun nonsense -- nothing in BF3 can touch the way you could rathole your way through levels as an Assault (or flatten the level as a Scout) and there was just great esprit de corps. Had tank races with teammates at the last CP in Atacama when there was only one guy left on the opposing team, because that's what you do in BC2. (also once in Vietnam I dashed into a grass hut and someone fired machinegun through the walls at me. But the cone of dust trails showed where all the bullets came from, so I handily returned fire and took him out. That was a fine, fine moment.)

Left 4 Dead is a tempting alternate, but I only get one.

2. Rayman: Origins. I could just feel the creators' love for games in this game, and it plays flawlessly too. Take Mario 64's sense that anything is possible and stir in spotless gameplay and senseless glee. And better music and art than anyone deserves. Swimming with Stars (especially following Port o' Panic) is the best crafted videogame level I have ever seen. In a dark room, with a really nice, large TV and good speakers.

3. NBA Jam (arcade original). Possibly the last game when sports game fidelity was at a level that produced games I enjoy playing. Also Tony, I'm confused - don't you call it 'sport' there? Or have we corrupted your language utterly with our cultural dominance?

4. Arkham City. It's a lot of other things (all stunning) but it is also an unbelievably good beat-em-up. Arkham Asylum was the more perfect game, but this is the grander one.

5. Burnout Paradise. It's actually a pretty mediocre racer, but an amazing driving game. Probably partly to do with you guys, but still, an end-to-end delight. One of the few games that really exploits the potential of a network-capable games machine, from the casual online challenges to the updates and tweaks (largely inspired by player telemetry) to the glorious DLC. Best fake car designs anywhere, too. Better than Forza as a museum of automotive design, even though it's all mixed up.

6. Pilotwings 64. It was really, really good. Stuff like pushing a hangglider down a steep narrow canyon and over waterfalls, when the thing really doesn't want to dive. Fantastic world designs, and getting the wingman suit was very special indeed.

7. Spacechem. I should really finish it, but the learning curve on the way to getting basically competent was intoxicating. It's like programming/debugging: the video game, at a very abstract level.

8. Pinball Arcade. iOS isn't even my preferred Pinball Arcade platform, but it really sits beautifully there. (Beat Sneak Bandit, if you want apps that I actually play as apps, even though it's over and has almost no replay value. It's tight and well thought out and exhausts its idea then stops.)

First Person Shooter - Battlefield 1942. I'm useless at these things but on BF1942 I could actually play the early missions and enjoy them. Solo of course. Enjoyed a few hours of CounterStrike in a LAN party once but BF1942 gets the prize from me.

Platformer (2D or 3D) - Lode Runner (C64). Probably the last time I really enjoyed a platformer - definitely not my thing. Doesn't help that my wife and kids all kick my arse and laugh at me on any platformer they have now. Bastards.

Sports game - Player Manager (Amiga). Wore out three copies of the disk I played it so much - and yes I actually purchased 4 copies of the game over the course of however many years it took. Utterly brilliant, and still gets a go on emulation occasionally.

Beat Em Up - Tekken 2 (PS1). Mostly due to the fabulous fun I had competing with my wife on this one. We both hated Jun, and both had our favorites (King for me, Michelle for Deb), and when we loaded up our faves and went head-to-head it got really tight. And competitive. And nasty. :)

Driving Game - Burnout (NGC). Played so many great racers and love them for different reasons. Project Gotham Racing for Stockholm and Edinburgh courses, Mario Kart for insane multi-player madness, Wipeout for sheer coolness, Forza & GT for the cars. But the one I keep going back to for pure fun is Burnout on the Gamecube. The courses are tight, the AI not very forgiving and more than happy to run you off the road and I just love the overall feel of it.

Simulator (anything from flight to pinball) - Gunship (Amiga). Again I could have put a zillion others in here but Gunship had me hooked. So much so that a mate at the time bought an Amiga and a copy of the game as I kept telling him how great it was. Lightweight never got a CMOH like I did. He gave up and I pushed on. And I still have the keyboard overlay here. And his copy of the game too, just in case.

Puzzler - Monsters Ate My Condo (iOS). Totally manic match 3 game that PaulEMoz put me onto and my family will never forgive him. They were hooked for quite a while too. Though Magnetic Billiards could just as well have gone here.

App game - Ticket To Ride (iOS). How many times a day do I play this on average? Lots. Now I'm onto the Steam version on PC where I get a 4 player game online usually filled in 60 seconds no matter what time it is. I still play the pants off it on the iPad though. Brilliant adaptation of the board game.

RTS - Midwinter (Amiga). Never been a fan of RTS. Midwinter was the last one I had any time for it and I didn't get that far there either.

RPG - Everquest (PC) This is a category I could write pages about but no game ever consumed me the way Everquest eventually did. I put many, many hours into my characters, joining guilds, grouping up and having a grand old time long before the 12 year olds took over all online gaming when it became cheap enough. I played EQ over dial-up back in the deep dark ages and while there was no voice comms, blocky graphics and horrendous lag that forced me to look at the ground while traversing the West Commonlands tunnel to save being lagged out it was still ten thousand times better than WoW or any other MMO I've tried, and there have been a fair few. I still pay a subscription 13 years on and go back in for a while and solo since all of my old crew are long gone. Sensational.

SHMUP - Iridis Alpha (C64) - Love my shmups but I have no hesitation putting IA ahead of Soukyugurentai, Ikaruga, Guwange and R-Type. Hard as hell for me now but once you hit the zone you are transported off to a world of gaming godness that you just want to live in forever. Bloody lovely.

I *really* need to make an effort to play IA, the couple of times I always felt the play are was a touch of the small side.

Great thread TT, will post tonight.

Yeah, painkeep rings a bell.

Dropping a mantrap in a dark area and listening for the SNAP - Fuck! Was hugely entertaining too ;-)

1. Goldeneye 64

2. Yoshi's Island [SNES] - amazing. One of the few games I've 100%-ed.

3. International Track & Field [PS1] - hours wasted on this one, working out the ideal technique to mash the PS buttons. Covering your finger with the cloth from a glasses case, and employing a 'sliding' motion, turned out to be the best.

4. Virtua Fighter [Saturn] - playing the Japanese import that first week, it felt like we'd finally turned a corner in videogame history. It was also the reason I decided to stick with games as a career.

5. Crash Team Racing [PS1] - yes, it's better than Mario Kart 64. Better!

6. Pilot Wings 64 - the only flight game that's ever grabbed me.

7. Boulder Dash [C64] - the whole 6-week Holiday 1985 was swallowed up by one game. Between watching repeats of Inspector Gadget.

8. Draw Something - duh.

1. First Person Shooter: I have to pick one of four 2's: Half-Life 2, Left4Dead2, Team Fortress 2 and Jedi Knight 2... I'm going to discount the two MP ones because it really is all about the crowd as much as the game, and marginally pick HL2 because it's just such a phenomenally polished piece of work, a real piece of gaming art.
2. Platformer (2D or 3D): not a fan of the things, since they are generally by definition exercises in repetition and frustration but I suppose Bubble Bobble counts, even though the platforms aren't the main of it, and that's brilliant.
3. Sports game: one of the early Maddens on the Megadrive, before they got so complicated as to be unplayable without infinite investment of time.
4. Beat Em Up: Batman: Arkham Asylum; AC is probably the better game, but the bat swarm makes the combat just a little too easy.
5. Driving Game: Daytona; anything without a steering wheel doesn't count.
6. Simulator: X-Wing series, plumping for Tie Fighter if you want a single one. Mechwarrior 2 runs it awful close though.
7. Puzzler: Columns, runs Portal pretty close but I'll plump for the latter (not Portal 2, which doesn't match the heights of the first one).
8. App game: Plants vs. Zombies probably counts and that was fun, if enormously shallow compared to the rest.
9. RTS: Warcraft III, unbelievable depth and Blizzard polish.
10. RPG: Dungeon Master
11. Shooter: Defender, ultimate respect for it kicking my arse.

1. First Person Shooter
Hmm, has to be one of the Valve products I think. I'll happily replay HL2 again and again, Portal is sort of a FPS, but I think I'll go for L4D, the sequel is the bigger game, and my choice may swing back to that once I've played those original maps in it, but for me L4D was the perfect storm of co-operative and team multiplayer.
2. Platformer (2D or 3D)
Have to vehemently disagree with young Chadders here (who'd have thought!) and say that the Mario Galaxy games easily show as much inventiveness as that seen in the wonderful Mario64. Both games are wonderful, the first probably is a nicer whole experience with the traditional hub system, but I think some of the levels in SMG2 just win it. (Conkers bad fur day on the 64 was pretty good though... not the shitty xbox version)
3. Sports game
Mario tennis. The N64 version probably had the better movement speed balance than the NGC sequel, which of course has to be knocked for the stupid stupid special shots as well (yes they could be turned off in multi). I know a lot of people round here have love for Virtua, but I'd argue N64 Mario tennis as the best multiplayer tennis game ever made. The balance of double tap power shots, spin selection, and the weaker single tap shots that could be placed better with the time to build up was/is just perfect. Matches in the 6th form common room were legendary.
4. Beat Em Up.
SF4 is a fantastic update, but as an overall game the Mortal Kombat reboot/continuation is peerless with it's single player modes. Yet this category will always be strongly biased by which game has the most fond multiplayer memories and so for me it has to be Soul Calibur 2. Another game with a big, meaty single player component that provided the learning ground for the basics, but then there was the matches in the university flat. Fantastic fun.
5. Driving Game
F-Zero GX. Has to be this. It still looks good now whilst moving at a near terrifying clip, with a stupid number of cars on track. The controls are perfect, maybe a bit intimidating to the novice, even as someone who aced F-Zero X, but perfect for getting round the devious tracks in one piece once mastered. That's before even considering the perfect balance mechanic of ship health and boost that's persisted from the original SNES.
Clicking down both of those lovely shoulder buttons to perfectly drift around the hairpin stuck vertically up into the air with infinitely towering skyscrapers in all directions on the Metropolis track is still a moment of perfect gaming joy.
6. Simulator (anything from flight to pinball)
Forza 4. In car view, no AIDS, Kinect head tracking. Just lovely. I only wish I'd managed to get a replacement Microsoft wheel.
7. Puzzler
Tetris. Gameboy. Still the best version of tetris, with a great two player mode.
8. App game
Stupid fucking category ;)
I love Plants vs Zombies and it definitely works best with a touchscreen. I frequently morn the absence of Tiny Wings on WP.
9. RTS
Only played a few of these but from my two weeks intense induction to Starcraft2 it's pretty obvious this is the daddy. The perfect competitive RTS. I hear the campaign is a nice evolution of the single player RTS campaign, I may never play it.
10. RPG
Another genre that I never really had a huge affection for, but then there's Mass Effect. Has to be one of the best game universes created. If you forced me to choose between them I'd say the first game as it did the best job of establishing that universe and making it feel real, the others often felt like setting wise they were riding on the sterling work made in that first game.
11. Shooter
Lylatwars (StarFox64). Not a proper shooter? Medal every level on master difficulty then tell me that.

Haha! Man, I remember a mate and I scouring his house for suitable implements to 'assist' playing this. I think we found a plastic Coke bottle top, a lighter and wrapping your fingers in sellotape were good but nothing beat a chunky cotton reel for smashing his older brothers world records into oblivion!

@Deggy .... a Tesco's carrier bag also worked, although for longer distance events you were at risk of melting the bloody thing through friction.

1. First Person Shooter
HL2 valve fanboy that I am. Linear as all hell but gets away with it, really clever subliminal player guidance in the more open feeling bits, and polished as anything. Ravenholm just long enough to feel like a real proper through-the-night ordeal.

Serious Sam gets a mention for the hilarious target-rich environment.

And DOOM 1&2, just because, though it should probably go in puzzler.

2. Platformer (2D or 3D)
Ico. I loved her, really I did.
Psychonauts. Emotional baggage, milkman, nuff said.

3. Sports game
SSX tricky. Headlong flight without it feeling tooo steered. Right on the edge of controlled (at least when I played it)

4. Beat Em Up
Hate them with a vengance. Tekken I guess for the whip. Haven't played one since really.

5. Driving Game
Sega Rally, the sit-down cab, though the dreamcast version with the wheel runs it a close second. The first thing I played that caught that balls out YEHAAAAA drift.
Slicker than a freshly greased weasel.

6. Simulator (anything from flight to pinball)
Going to cheat slightly and stick Forza Horizon in here. Probably the only driving game I'd play just to look at the landscape.

Second place goes to the free flightsim you got on Silicon Graphics workstations in the 90s. Graphics were sub-basic even then, but where else could you network dogfight in 747s?

7. Puzzler
Slightly torn between Doom (1&2) and Portal.
Portal wins of course. A beautiful and important little game. Arrived just in time to say "There you go , that's how to do character you bastards." Game writing masterclass.

8. App game
My phone is a phone. But I guess there must be a Tetris app so I'll sneak it in here. :)

9) RPG because someone had to.
Eternal Darkness. Epic story again, not scared at killing everyone off, loved the magic system. Best played, in the dark, late at night with a borderline sanity score.

SHMUP
Space invaders. Sneaking in to Warners holiday camp, Colwell Bay to pump in the pocket money. Happy Days

By gum you're right.

FPS - Halo 3 ODST

I'm not a great fan of FPS games, so there wasn't a lot for me to choose from. I almost went with Alien Trilogy on the Saturn, which kept me completely hooked from start to finish. But in the end, it had to be Halo 3 ODST. I wasn't a fan of any of the other Halo games, but I gave this a go and was very happy to hear voice acting from three of the Firefly cast. That drew me into the story, and the tense nature of the gameplay combined with the use of flashbacks throughout the levels kept me enthralled all the way through. I even started a second playthough - unheard of for me. Great stuff.

Platformer - Monty on the Run

There are better games, and if I sat and thought for long enough I could probably come up with several. But the mix of jumping and frantic soundtrack just went together perfectly for me, and although it was rock hard I played it and played it until I completed it without cheating. And then I still played it. And if I could find a version that worked on an emulator, I would still play it now.

Sports game - Tiger Woods 2004

Leaderboard was an important sports game for me, as I played it to death with my dad. But for sheer ridiculous entertainment, Tiger Woods 2004 trumped everything. I put so much time into that game, unlocking practically everything. I did get stuck for a while - fuck you, Vijay Singh, but eventually everyone fell to my powers. I wasn't well when I played it, but it put a fair smile on my face.

Beat em up - International Karate

I always kid myself I love modern fighters, but I don't. The button combinations are just too much for me. International Karate had no such problems - push in a direction, and maybe press the one fire button, and you pull off your move. The purity wins out for me, and it remains challenging to this day. And it's better than IK+. I almost chose Kung Fu Master, which is about the most fun ever, or Yie Ar Kung-Fu, which I am awesome at. But IK wins it.

Driving game - Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2

Lorraine bought me this on the PS2 one Valentine's Day. Best Hallmark present ever. Everything about it feels right, from the way you whistle through smoking forest trails to slo-mo flights from jumps to manic police chases. There's nothing that this game does wrong, and there's nothing that feels better.

Simulator - Sid Meier's Sim Golf

This is a tough one because I don't play on many simulators. I could have picked Williams Pinball Classics, which has had a lot of love from me. But I've picked this golf course building simulator, which mixes Sid Meier's genius knack for strategy with, erm, The Sims. But they're used in a light fashion - the majority of the game focuses on building and maintaining a working golf course. There are quite a few locations available, each with different challenges, and the possibilities are infinite. You can literally build something different every time. And if you're feeling mean, you can put a pond underneath someone's ball just after it's landed safely. Mwah-ha-ha-haaaaa.

Puzzler

Fuck off.

No, wait! Puzzle Quest. Goddammit, I lost so many hours to that game. Pity it reset my stats when I was near the end. I think I'll start a new game though. It's great.

App game - Gridrunner

There really are games that work well with touch controls. Flight Control is a great example. Fruit Ninja is a decent example. Gridrunner would work just fine as a normal game, and in fact it has, many times. Something about this version, though, elevates it above the others. It's an entire arcade in your pocket, and I love it.

EDIT:

Shooter - Galaxian

I watched my dad play it first and fell in love. I've never fallen out of love. Still as pure a challenge as you could want, and you can still find yourself having a shit game if you're not careful. Brilliant.

RPG - The Bard's Tale

I just had to include it, in the end. Any game that takes up thirteen solid months of your life should be in there. No other role playing game has grabbed me like it did (although Buck Rogers came close), and the fact I'm playing through it again now on my phone, 25 years later, is testament to my love for it. I know the town of Skara Brae like I know my home town of Consett, and I want to stay in it for as long as I live.

Ah man, so now I have to edit mine... it's taken me two days as it is!

1. First Person Shooter
Well, that depends. The only FPS I was drawn into the "world" of and played the single player campaign through to the end was DOOM. Every other single player FPS campaign I've ever tried has bored my tits off. Yes, especially Half-Life.
But for multi-player? I played Assault Mode of Unreal Tournament for 3 or more hours a day nearly every day for 5 years.

2. Platformer (2D or 3D)
Super Mario Bros 3 was and ever will be the apex of platforming. This is a divine truth, no arguing.
(Okay, the final boss kind of sucked, but given the rest of the game he could have been completely absent and it would still be the best platformer ever.)

3. Sports game
Sports games can all go eat a bag of dicks. Baseball Simulator 1.000 was entertaining, I suppose.

4. Beat Em Up
Mortal Kombat Trilogy PSX (the N64 version is shite)(yes, I own both). Takes most of the best bits of the first 3 MK games and lumps them all together into a fanservice joygasm. Sure, it has some glitches and is far too unbalanced for tournament play, but fanservice joygasm.

5. Driving Game
I hate driving games they are boring oh did you mean racing games? Even though I hardly play it any more, I'll go with Ridge Racer Revolution. Very few other games even give you the sense of speed and competition, much less have such a tangible risk/reward for the way you attack the track, and a track designed to accentuate it.

6. Simulator (anything from flight to pinball)
Back in the 386/486 days there was a golf game that allowed you to create your own courses including dinosaurs even though there obviously weren't any in the official courses. I often find myself missing that game, whatever it was.
Wait, does golf count as a sports game?

7. Puzzler
Specifically, Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - my favorite implementation of the Puyo Puyo game. Combomania, boys, that's what life's about.

8. App game
TBH, I don't have one on my Android that begs for my attention. I have rather enjoyed what I've played of Spike Dislike on my DS, and Kingdom Rush on the Flash portals - those are both available on iOS I'm given to understand. I'm also jealous of the YaK's iOS wares.

oh, we're adding these now...
9. RPG
I was much more taken in by the JRPG style than any of the Gold Box or Bards Tale or Dungeon Master or Ultima type games I had experienced. Newer games like Morrowind I've enjoyed more for the sandboxing than giving a damn about a questline. I'm going to have to go with Final Fantasy IV as my all-time fave.

10. Shmup
Gunhed/Blazing Lazers. Four weapons, each with something like 8 levels of power or more. Several support types, from shields to guided missiles to attack drones (I feel like I'm overlooking one), each with 4 levels of power. This adds up to a lot of different ways to blast things. And most of them are just plain fun.

Opinions are like yadda yadda, and I don't want to ruin the tint of your glasses, but OMG that specific game represents the low point of PS2 gaming to me. I know I'm not in any sort of majority since the dozens of pants-ruining reviews and scores of internetfolk lauding its praises are what convinced me to shell out the premium-title price for it. All I found was the same dull graphics, utter lack of speed, and sluggish control of every other NFS title I've played combined with psychic cops who know what you're going to do before you do so they can thoroughly ruin any chance of fun.

Shooter - In The Hunt

In the Gareth.
