What is the greatest computer game ever made? Here's some suggestions to get you started.
Half Life/Half Life2
Call of Duty 2
Quake
Cannon Fodder
Syndicate
Sensible Soccer
Theme Park
Super Mario Brothers
I'm thinking it could be Cannon Fodder for me.

Seriously then, I think my favourite game ever is Final Fantasy 8 or 10. I don't think I could choose between them.
I'm a massive fan of Warcraft 3 and Age of Empires 2.
Wii sports and Mario Ware Smooth moves really are the funnest party games ever.

I don't really play too many games, because I get bored too easily and shy away from competitive things. HOWEVER, I was obsessed with the Gex the Gecko games ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gex_(character)) on the first playstation. They were so much fun! He was a super agent, womanising gecko, voiced by Leslie Phillips, and then The Cat from Red Dwarf for some reason. I know it's nowhere near the greatest game ever, because it was a bit shoddy in parts, but it was lots of fun and I guess it's all subjective anyway so it doesn't really matter.

At Uni I wrote an essay proclaiming the greatest computer game ever to be TETRIS.
However, my personal choices would be:
THE SIMS ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME WORMS MARIO KART 64 THEME PARK HEROES OF MIGHT AND MAGIC 2-4

No, no, NO! I recently got an emulation thing of Dizzy for my PC (I don't quite know exactly how or what it is, other than its the Sega game on my laptop). I don't know why I thought I loved it as a child. Its just hours of this little egg walking around picking things up and putting them down. You can see porters do that in hospitals.
On saying that, I've been spending a lot of time playing it.
The best games ever were Golden Axe, Street Fighter and Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiago?

On saying that, I've been spending a lot of time playing it. That's because it OWNS. Seriously, please don't tell me the Dizzy games are rubbish. I really don't want to discover that I wasted my childhood. Spellbound Dizzy was my favourite though, because it was so ridiculously vast and impossible. I never forgave them for adding in the part where falling from a great height made you lose energy, even if that does rather make sense when you're playing an egg.

Tony Hawks's Pro Skater 2. On the Dreamcast. Definitely the best of the series and the one that made my fingers ache most.

I love the Sims and Theme Park was amazing! Age of Empires too, I'm going to have to get me a cheap version of it again. I can hear the tribal noises now....
I also liked Crazy Taxi on the dreamcast. That was fun.

Ooh, I spent many an afternoon that was meant to be studying for Highers playing that on the Playstation. I'm sure all the random button-bashing has caused my hands to be slightly deformed.

Sonic II (I've played this so many times I can do it very very drunk), Age of Empires II, Civilisation II (for the geeks in the front row), Bubble Bobble, Super Monkey Ball II, Thief II (until it just died for no reason, then it was shit) and Wii sports.

All on C64
Mayhem in Monsterland. Creatures (C64) (1 not 2) Spy Vs Spy. Rainbow Islands. Bubble Bobble. New Zealand Story. IK+. Paradroid. Turrican 2. Kenny Dalglish's Soccer Manager. Emlyn Hughes International Soccer. Bug Bomber (better than Bomberman). Boulderdash. Summer Games 1&2.
There's some great modern games around, some of which if I played them now I would probably rate above some of these but retrospectively there's nothing around that I've invested as much time and effort completing as stuff on my C64, aside from the greatest game of all time which is Zelda: Links Awakening on the original Game Boy.
And the Dizzy collection was OK but he kept over-jumping onto things like spikes and fire which is particularly annoying if you've just spent an hour and half solving the puzzles and even more annoying if you've just spent 20 minutes trying to jump across platforms to get to the top of a tree only to plummet to the bottom and have to start again. Crystal Kingdom Dizzy was the best.

Super Metroid without a shadow of a doubt. And I also loved 99% of the C64 catalogue of games, there were a few duff ones but the best thing about C64 was the pirating of games that your mates had. All you needed was a cassette deck with high speed dubbing and you'd have a brand new game in 45 minutes.

Always impossible to compare across genre - but Mario Bros, Half Life 2, Sims 2 were all classics in their own right
