What is the most fun video game that you've ever played?
The ones you just couldn't put down. The ones you'd race home from school (or work) for and would play all weekend. These are my favorite games from each system. Nintendo--Star Trek. Super Nintendo--Killer Instinct Nintendo 64--Goldeneye, Ridge Racer Playstation--Tekken, Driver, Resident Evil 1 &2 Playstation 2--Resident Evil 3, NBA live 2003,'04,'05,'06, Fight Night 1-3, Midnight Club 1-3 I played more than these, but these are the ones that I couldn't stop playing.
hands down it is the world of warcraft. it had EVERYTHING that i wanted in a game. the only two drawback to that game is that it was so time consuming and just SOOOO addicting (because it was soo good).
it was the only game i can say that made a huge dent in my life. it was the major factor that cause me to steer from my study. i wish i never played that game and yet i wish i never quit playing that game 1 year and one month ago. i miss it and i know i shouldn't. they were FUN times. i know this is pretty sad but it is true. my advice is DON'T PLAY IT. don't try. it's just too good. if you played it and disagree with me, GOOD. i want you to hate it. i wish i hated it when i tried it and i wish i hate it now.
edit: oh another game before that one is marvels vs capcom 2. most of my highschool years were focused on that game, i had a friend who liked the game too and it lasted us like over 4 years worth of playing. that game was soo advanced and soo complex. i seriously think that game's high demand for hand eye coordination and cunningness (?) produced a generation of amazingly skilled kids adept for most any game. people may brag about how easily they adapted to that game but for me it was hard hard work, and a lot of study. ultimately i gave up. i couldn't do infinites, and i didn't have the ability to think two steps ahead so i became predictable. these kids young as hell probably couldn't afford a dreamcast could do it so easily. it's like the staple game for any other game in my opinion. if you can conquer that game (not vs computers but vs real people) than you can conquer pretty much any game.
