    As I didn't play much of Playstation before PS3, apart from the GoW games, I would have to say Infamous. If talking multiplatform as well, would be really tight between Infamous and the Arkham games, but I'll stick with Infamous.

    I'm surprised no-one mentioned Resident Evil. I've made my decision and I'm sticking by it but if hours were calculated, this would be tops.

    You're just not playing the right ones. Get a DS all the best ones are on that. Stuff like FFXIII and it's ilk are horribly paced. For all it's flaws FFVII is wonderfully paced which makes it fun.

    Metal Gear Solid is my pick. It was the game that turned this mere pastime of mine into a full-on hobby.

    Also, with a username like mine, what else was it going to be!?

    I spent hours every day playing Elite on the Amiga.
    In fact I wish I was playing it right now instead of typing this.
    But on PS3 it has to be Uncharted 1.

    Each of the three PlayStations have had one game which has made me re-assess everything I understood that games were capable of. Those games were Metal Gear Solid, Grand Theft Auto III and Journey.

    I'd be tempted to choose one of those for how they all seemed to rip up the rule book (at least to me). However I'm going to go for a game which built on one of those games and somehow managed to be even better. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence is my favourite PlayStation game ever.

    Micro Machines was just about perfect for me.

    I LOVED the old Tomb Raider games, been a fan of them all since.

    Should Snake Eater and Subsistence not be classed as one game? It's just a tweaked version of the original.

    I would be curious to know how many of you remember Turrican on the C64. My personal favorite of all time.

    I loved the game and invested a lot of time on this but alas I was looking back with tinted glasses. I downloaded an emulator and played it again. Blocky but at the time it was the first scroller that seemed as large vertically as it was horizontally. But it was not limited to one way scrolling, you could go back and explore the entire level during play.

    I've been thinking about this since this thread was started. I loved all the GTA's (except San Andreas), Cod's, Fifa's or Pro Ev's (see sawing over the years), but my favourite ever has to be Golden Eye on the N64!

    Countless days of my teenage years were spent playing deathmatch against my mates on a 21" tv with a 4 way split screen, dreaming of the future when we could all play, and not be able to see each others' screens!

    Loved it so much, I wouldn't get the re-release on the PS3, for fear it would ruin it. For me, it was the pre-runner for all CoD's and Battlefields etc!

    Think this is just games that were on Playstation. Makes the decision a bit easier to make. :)

    I won a PS1 from TodayFM along with 10 games back in 2000-ish? Coming into gaming late - I loved it, but could never afford a console, I was mightily impressed, even by Simpsons wrestling:eek:
    But, the reason I will always remember that PS1 was the jaw-dropping games that came with it.....MGS, Colin McRae and Gran Turismo.
    Hogs of War which I still have, will also have a special place, as Rik Mayall's voices on it were really funny.

    I think I must be the only person alive that liked Prototype, but they would be up there too.

    Winner? By a very tight margin - Colin McRae.

    Worst ever - Pro Evo 8(?) The one that wouldn't go online.........

    On a playstation platform it has to be a toss up between Persona 4, Valkyria Chronicles and Tactics Ogre. Those other two don't even come close.

    For the entirety of this gen I'd add Xenoblade, Last Story, Etrian Odyssey 3, Radiant Historia, Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey and the Witcher 2 to that list.

    Tombi! on Playstation One will always be my favourite game, it was such a weird obscure funny game, nice to be able to play it on my Vita now.

    Surprised there is no love yet for Suikoden or Okami.
