What is your favourite game and why?

This thread smells funny..... Like musty dead things.....

Oh well my favorite game is.... PTO 2 but that's so old I can't get it to run I have to build a Win98 machine just to play it.

Well, at least this isn't some old thread where I embarrassed myself and have to relive it. I just don't do a lot of games. In the past 12 months, I bought the new Vista compatible version of Bookworm, BioShock, and The Witcher. When the price drops enough for World in Conflict, I'll buy it, too.

Right now, I'm playing through The Witcher for the second time, so I would rate it as my current favorite, even though it isn't nearly as polished a product as BioShock. I like the story line and the dry, sarcastic humor.

I think i'm in the same boat.. Are you atleast going with the "hard" difficultiy for your second run?

Initially, I was really extremely dense catching on to the mechanics of combat. Read the reviews, the tutorial, still couldn't ditch that traditional RPG "click like a machine gun" behavior. So, I played through on "easy" the first time around.

Now, I went through Diablo II at Nightmare and Hell levels, played many of the Ultima games, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, FPS games all the way back to DOS. Yeah, I was ready to go right for the "Hard" level in The Witcher. So far I'm dying about every 30 minutes. You know you're getting old when...
