FAv sim....Freespace2 in my opinion no one has nailed space combat as well as that game did, doing a bombing run on a battleship, flying down its flanks to hit its soft spots...........

Fav Fun game.....The old dungeon keeper series, still go back to that every once and while, a very funny game.

Fav RTS.....SINS (the space rts) have alot of hours clocked on that.

Fav MMO........Vanguard as my MMO, I do try and love her, and its a strange relationship, something akin to dating your ideal woman, but once a month just turns all batshitt on you and tries to stab or smother you in your sleep.

Fav Fallback MMO....Eve, I keep getting out of rehab, but then after some time off Eve, the  biggest dumbass'd pair of rose tinted glasses gets put on and I go back for a period of self flagulation, come to think of it, its the same glasses I wear to play Vanguard, (self insight moment) AHHH FRACK IM MESSED UP.

Oh man, that's a tough question. I've played so many different games over the years that it's hard to decide. I guess, thinking back to what I spent most of my time playing while I was still in school, I would have to say every Blizzard game (minus Starcraft and Warcraft) before WoW. Diablo II would most deffinitely sit at the top of that list. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

So:

1. Diablo II

2. Warcraft III

3. Warcraft II

4. Diablo

Honorable Mentions:

Mafia

Unreal Tournament '99

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura

XCom =)

Then probably Morrowind, Quake 2, Unreal, Neverwinter, Icewind Dale and Fallout.

But... XCom is for sure top pick ^^

I have around a hundred Steam games, but here are my all-time faves on this particular PC.

- Left 4 Dead 2 (played this one so much)

- Borderlands (such an awesome shooter)

- Half Life 2 (anyone noticing a trend?)

- WoW (even though I uninstalled it recently, it brought a lot of good times)

- Guild Wars 2 (have only scratched the surface of this addicting new addition)

- Dungeon Defenders (best tower defense game I've played)

- Team Fortress 2

A lot of other big releases have failed to impress me, I'm not sure why.

best game or do you mean best game from 2012?? 

cause i have many many games.. like all of age of empires, most of the empire earth's, all of the total annihilations most of red alert 1 (just missing counter strike Q.Q) to name a few... least the mainstreams most would remember anyway

so you might want to be alittle more selective lolol ofcourse the list is endless o-o 

Only game I ever go back to is Civilization, haven't played it for a while though.

Best RPG I played was Baldur's Gate II. I doubt anything will surpass that game. I still haven't finished Neverwinter Nights, I just lose interest when I get 2/3rds of the game completed, then I have to start again the next time I pick it up.

Looking at my games shelf, I really need to Ebay some stuff :)

I recently picked up Rollercoaster Tycoon 3: Platinum at Walmart for $20. It comes with both expansions as well as the base game. It's the best 20 gaming bucks I've spent on a whim in a very long time.

Oh yeah. The original X-COM, closely followed by Terror From the Deep. Forgot about those. Yeah, they're definitely up there among the best games.

Civ 5

L4D2

Fallout NV

Skyrim

It's a pretty even match. I like each for individual reasons

I could make a _very_ long list of rpg's and strategy games (original, turn-based ones, not the rts crap which they lately labeled as strategy :) ) but since you asked "game" and not games, it's easy: GTA Vice City.

I know it's a bit strange selection on an mmorpg site, but I'm a content-type fellow when I play offline as well... and I love the 80's :) I play it through every year at least once. Actually I have the game twice, I bought a second one a few years ago only to have an unwrapped box which I can put in my "best-of" collection...

The Witcher 2:  Assassins of Kings.

By far the best RPG I have ever played.  The best graphics of any game released so far (ever), fantastic art style, amazingly immersive and detailed world, great story, tactical combat and choices that have huge consequences on where you go, who you meet, and how your journey plays out. 

Buy this game.  If you thought Bioware/Obsidian/Bethesda ever made good RPGs, you have yet to play this game.
