What is your favorite game and why?

Not exactly sure what type of game you're asking about, but I'll say Final Fantasy 7.

I mean any type of game actually. Just what game do you enjoy the most.

Computer game: Lemmings :)
Board game: Monopoly
Sport game: Tennis

Autocross

Strip poker.

Trivial Pursuit. I have this tradition where I play and drink vodka whenever I have a breakup. I like games that stimulate conversation and my memory for trivia is one of my favorite braintoys. I'm also very fond of backgammon, cribbage and set. And last night I played a really fun new story-telling card game called Once Upon a Time which I'm probably going to get at some point.

Video game: Street Fighter II Turbo (OG edition). Sport: tennis. Board game: chess. Card game: pai gou (sp?), but also hearts, bridge, poker.

Cosmic Encounter (a board game). I had many great times playing it in college, and even today. The game has the quality of always changing it's rules (different alien powers yield different games). *** I'm also a fan of cribbage, hearts (and other bidding card-games), and I play computer games all the time (but it would be hard to name a favorite). Set is very cool (but I suck at it). Jeez, I love games in general, you name it - I probably would like to play it.

I'm afraid that there is no one answer. Sometimes I really want to be playing cribbage, sometimes Attack From Mars, and sometimes a game that I don't think has a name. (It's played primarily in November.) At any of these times, the others would be all wrong.

No favorite game.

depends on who i'm playing with ^_^

this is way broad. Quake or Quake II

Are you asking for a concrete game or for the kind of games I like? I like driving games, bcos I don't must think. It's only action and instinct. I really dislike games on which I must think, I don't play games for that...

Bunkos - because I get to see some of my friends that normally either don't go out, or I can't get to see them

well, if I were an adolescent boob I'd say "hide the salami" but I'm not so I'll say that I dont' have a fave.

20 Questions my favorite of all time. It is the only truly heuristic game that does not involve luck.

There's this cool computer game called World Conquest where you get armies, invade and conquer other countries, I just found a while ago and I'm hooked.

Sex, of course. The reason is quite obvious... :)

do you mean's sports game?? then it's baseball I'm a huge yankees fan (although the mets are pretty cool too and I would love to see them play a subway series) If you include everything then I'd definately say jeopardy is my favorite game (boardgame or gameshow) my favorite computer/nintendo game is tetris

hm, Quake2 i guess.

You mean like board game? sport? video game? Options would have been helpful. My favorite board game is probably monopoly but I rarely play it. ***Paco: my 1st answer sucked. I'm with you!

yikes! i'm a serious game-ophile, so this is not an easy thing to answer. i love the elegant simplicity and intellectual stimulation of chess; on the other hand, i love the elegant complexity and intellectual stimulation of Magic. With card games its hard to beat pitch (set-back, high-low-jack-game). I suspect I've played more games of Trumpet (a trump based card game, with a board you move your pieces around) than anyone else in the world. For physical games, i love playing volleyball and football (though rarely get a chance to play football). i love computer games, but none of them to the same degree as my favorite non-electronic games. Cosmic Encounter is way up on my list, i've spent many hours on that one. well, i haven't answered the question yet...i guess at the current time i'd have to say Magic

Trivial Pursuit

Wow. I have too many to list. But I guess I would have to say Magic tops my list, for simply being a beautifully designed game.

I have to pick one? Ummm. I like both word/brain games and silly body games. :) Some of my favourites: Twister, because it's silly and fun; Name Burst (I think that's what it's called), because it's hectic and silly and loud; and of course, Cosmic Wimpout, because it's the best!

Games Computer: UO (It is addictive) Board: Risk (I like strategy games, even though I am not good at them) Sport: Ice-hockey (not sure, grew up with it I guess)

Risk, the ultimate strategy game. There are so many "fav of the moment" games - Robot Rally, StarCraft, Command & Conquer, Axis & Allies, Cribbage, UltimaOnline, Gangsters, plus of course sports - volleyball (I run a team), soccer, darts, etc. etc.

I can't name just one... heck, I can't name just one GENRE of games. And they change so often... at the moment, current favorites (could be revised -tomorrow-):

Tabletop/Board: Cosmic Encounter (grumblemutter, out of print and I don't own a copy, grumblemutter)
Video: Wipeout XL ('cause I'm stuck on one of the tracks, and obsessing over it :)
RPG: Teenagers from Outer Space
"Classic" board: Chess, I suppose.

And Cosmic Wimpout, which is its own category. :)

Survey Central...at least for the present

No favourites. Sorry.

I don't really have a one true favorite. it depends on my mood. and how much I have played a particular game recently. for board games, one that I will always suggest is Settlers of the Catan (recently re-released.. go buy it, it is worth it). Computer games, I usually come back to Civilization out of sheer boredom when I haven't purchased anything recently.

pinball

life. lots of reasons... it's very realistic (though not always completely so), everyone I know plays it, it has a thoroughly engaging rule set that rewards extended contemplation and experimentation while still allowing players to forget about the rules and just play the game... generally cool.

Nethack.

I really don't have a favorite. I seldom play games.

Arcanum, because I love the way they created a whole world.
