Best video game ever made?

I swear Pokemon never gets old. My friends laugh at me for playing Pokemon at 17, I laugh at them for wasting their time with Black Ops.

The game is pretty straight forward and relatively easy, and the battle system is very simple.

It might sound like a lackluster JRPG, but in its performance it is definitely a game that should be played. (Plus it isn't that long anyways)

gotcha, thanks for the perspective. I actually have played through Super Mario RPG (and think it's excellent); I was really just wondering if it's an acceptable substitute for a more prominent Square rpg. sounds like I really ought to give one o' them final fantasies a shot. guess I'll have to make sure I have time for it once I start though haha.

Unlike most Square RPG's, SMRPG is an RPG that doesn't take itself too seriously. The end result is a hell of a game with tons of secrets, minigames, memorable tunes, fun characters, interesting bosses, cool maps/locations, and all while retaining the Mario-esque feel -- nothing sacrificed. It's also one of the few games where Bowser (reluctantly) joins your team in order to battle a common foe.

It's one of the few examples of a popular, successful game taken out of its comfort zone into another type of play mechanic -- and still emerging strong.

It's soooooo true lmao.
Nobody played pokemon in highschool. I get to university, in the game dev lab, that's all they talk about lmao

Tossup between SSBM and FF7 and SMG1 and the better Pokemom games. That's just out of the ones I've hundred percented so I'm probably skipping a few inadvertently.

My school must be pretty strange than. Probably half the people I know talk about Pokemon in some way (and most of it is serious discussion about the game).

what about Mario Kart Wii xD or Super Smash Bras Brawl, they have a lot of fun and you can play with people of the entire world

I think the Halo series is one of the greatest games of all time. It has an amazing storyline, forge/custom games, other outstanding features (Firefight, Theater) and the multiplayer has almost unlimited replayability.

Devil May Cry 3! Point, blank, and period. End of discussion!

I don't know if it's necessarily *the* best game i've ever played, but I just picked up the original Chrono Trigger the other day and i'm in love.

I personally had more fun with Super Smash Bros. Melee than I did with Brawl. Maybe that's just me though.

Yeah, Chrono Trigger is definitely a close second for my favorite game.

I would agree with you on that. IMO Melee felt like a faster and smoother game and thus had a stronger draw to me. Brawl did bring quite a bit of improvements, but I found myself going back and playing Melee often just because I prefer the feel of the game.

Also, I feel like I'm the only person who just never got Chrono Trigger. I've played a good chunk of the game, listened to the full soundtrack, and have seen someone play through the full game; but I just never really found it the stand out game that everyone claims it is. Please tell me someone else agrees. Let it be known that I played the game before I started noticing how popular it was.
