man, so hard to narrow it down to one single game... mine would have have to be Final Fantasy X, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, The Metal Gear Solid Series, The Fable Series, the Resident Evil Series (particularly the first one, genuinely creepy and claustrophobic)and Spyro the Dragon (the old ones, I used to play them with my grandparents for years, possibly my first game experience was playing it aged 5).
So many games I've loved over the years, wopuld take hours to think of them all

I find the Empire and (sometimes) Napoleon AI rather oddly amusing and yet also infuriating as anything at times. Like the Dutch deciding to declare war on me which will cost them their alliances with neighbouring states, their trade with me and said allies and their independence because I massively outnumber them. Yet they still do it?! That would probably be the sole reason why one of them isn't my favourite strategy of all time. I hate the Medieval 2 AI - the most backstabbing and yet drooling stupid I've ever seen, yet at the same time they could be really devious...SimuLord said:
On your note of tighter focus making the AI better, let's hope Shogun 2 will improve on that; from what I've read the developers are making considerable changes in that area.
Yay for Number 6 Coming out after 5 years.allinwonder said:

Morrowind in 2002. I think I started playing it at the beginning of '03. As for the rest of my favorites, they are all peppered around that area +/- 3 years. There are exceptions beyond those bounds (Doom ranks in, and I played that in '08), but it seems like after the 360 hit that games just started not reaching the levels of awesome they did around the turn of the century. Hell, I just started Deus Ex for the first time 8 months ago, and it is great.
Oh, dear gods, the Medieval 2 AI. Got a port? Prepare to be blockaded by that friend and neighbor you've had for 200 turns because keeping their ships off your port is harder for the AI than keeping his hands off young sluts was for JFK.Don said:
Final Fantasy IX so 10 going on 11 years old. Was my first FF seen probably more playthroughs than any other game I own and it's the only game that I bought a second copy of just so I have the ability to play it on console or psp.
Thirteen years.
Banjo Kazooie. It's use of comical graphics, diverse puzzles and speech imperiments won my heart as an N64 player and still holds it now even as i commit my gaming time to the xbox360.

Erm, yes - Medieval 2's AI were rather bad - like the Pope excommunicating me because I defended myself against him or my ally attacking me when my territory completely encompassed his - oops I'm sorry, did I just annex your entire nation in one turn? To this date, half the AI betrayals seemed to have no valid reason.SimuLord said:
12-13 years, I think. That's when I remember playing my two favourite games of all time: Abe's Exoddus and MediEvil. Hold on a sec. *checks wikipedia*
Yes, I was exactly right. 1998 for both games.
