Really quiet at work today so stole this from Gaf as thought some of the answers were interesting, though many lists are similar. If you could only have one game for each console you've owned what would it be, and why? Remind you of a good time in life or just an awesome game?


NES -Super Mario Bros 3.



Just an awesome game, better than anything I'd ever played. And loved the Tanooki suit.

Runner up- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

SNES - Super Probotector



Played this just far too much. Awesome game. Co-op with my dad. Aces memories. Loved every second of it. The guns, sound FX, the looks, awesome.

Runner up- Zelda A Link to the past.The much better game really, but man those co-op memories.

PlayStation- Metal Gear Solid



Really snuck up on me, wasn't interested at all but man, hooked within minutes. Way beyond its time. Speed running at a mates house became almost a weekly thing.

Runner up- Resi 2. Very close...

N64 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time



Christmas Day was taken away by this, sod the other gifts, keep your food, I'm not stepping away from this.

Runner up- Mario 64, mind blowing at the time for me. The absolute scope of it all...

Gamecube - Resident Evil 4



Don't think I've completed a game as many times. Again it was much more than I expected. Was so worried they'd changed an awesome formula, turned out to be one of if not the best 3rd person experience I've had.

Runner up- Eternal Darkness. Lots of choice here, but ED is such an awesome gem of a game, shame it's not got a sequel...yet.

DreamCast- Shenmue



The most boring good game ever. Way ahead of its time in scope, and hardware capabilities. The combat system was ace though, and even the crap story pulled me in a bit.

Runner up-Jet Set Radio, fucking awesome game. This was a close call too.

Xbox - take a wild fucking guess...



Saved for ages and got about 4 launch games, took the day off college, didn't put anything else in the dust drive. Hall had everything. EVERYTHING I wanted in a game. The memories, co-op, MP, most played game for years until Halo 2.

Runner up-Halo 2 would be too easy, though it added online MP! So I'll go with Fable. Awesome game at the time. Did loads I'd not really seen or been interested in before.

PlayStation 2-MGS3



Loved this game, eventually. Same crazy MGS but loved taking the gameplay systems into a different environment.

Runner up-Good few I can't really choose from DMC, Ico, Silent Hill 2.

Xbox 360 - Not very original but...



Again just awesome. Pretty much exactly what I wanted. No Arbiter, just Chief times! The co-op, the MP took up so much of my life, fucking awesome times.

Runner Up- LOADS! Bioshock, Mass Effect, Red Dead, Dead Space, CoD 4, but I'll go with Gears, came kind of out of nowhere and took up so many Uni nights on MP, and tons of forum fun...and hate.

PS3 - Uncharted



I'll be honest in saying I wasn't big on the PS3, but I did like Uncharted, a decent adventure with likeable characters. A good romp!

Wii-Super Mario Galaxy



Ninty do it again, take Mario and put him in a different environment with much of the same systems and somehow make it work. Aces game.

Runner Up- Metroid Prime, took time but eventually loved it.

PS4 - Not played much on it but so far I'd have to say
The Last of Us Remastered



Great game, never played on PS3, but really emotionally involving!

Runner up- Until Dawn, rubbish but awesome game! Loved comparing results with everyone!

Xbox One- Destiny



Simply never played a game so much. Regardless of what everybody else thinks I love it. Played nearly everyday for an age. It's got everything gameplay wise. And it's been fucking awesome with badgers. So many memories. And to be honest it still gets better all the time. Best game mechanics wise of all time for me.

Runner up-Alien Isolation, Titanfall, Quantum Break, Halo 5.
