What is the best computer game you have ever played?

[Man in the Funny Hat]

X-Com or Civilization II.

Mass Effect

I may have missed seeing this early but Mass Effect 1&2. 3 should be out later this year to boot. Others not yet listed include Assasin's Creed 1&2, Brother hood should be out soon for PC

Mass Effect is certainly a very good game, but has it been around long enough to warrant "best ever"? I don't know about that.

Why does how long it's been out matter? It still falls into the time span of "ever".

After loving the heck out of Dragon Age: Origins I have a copy of Mass Effect coming in the mail in a week or two (bought with Christmas gift cards).

More perspective to properly judge.

Start saving for two now, by the time you hit the end of one you won't want to wait for the next game.

Better to try to install the old Baldur's Gate CDs I have, or just go to GoG and download their work? It's not a ton of money....

Once I got my antivirus to sit down and shut up it was a piece of cake to get Icewind Dale installed on my Windows 7 laptop. Baldur's Gate will probably be just as easy since they both use the same technology.

There is a widescreen patch worth considering at G3: Widescreen Mod

Running at 640x480 is a bit difficult on modern equipment

 

[Dioltach]

I loved playing Space Quest, I loved playing Doom, and I loved playing Baldur's Gate, but Planescape: Torment is my all-time favourite.
