So Video games have been around for a while creating obesity, eye sores, carpal tunnel, arthritis and rare cases of death. But all in all, I think in rare cases it's worth it. So I want to know what were the best experiances with video games you have had.
Here's mine:

Best story: God of war
Best music: Mario bros./ gta vice city
Best graphics: God of war( not a heavy pc game player)
Finger bashing hell: (any) mario party
Best multiplayer(not online) mayhem- super smash bros and star wars battlefront.

Sometimes I find games become more than just fun but also an addiction, like....God of war, ffx(up until the ending) and a few others.
 
Best story: Monkey Island
Best music: FF (all) / Shenmue
Best graphics: Resident Evil (Re-release GC)
Finger bashing hell: Track & Field
Best multiplayer: (Not Online) Circut Breakers / Mashed
 
Best story: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty
Best music: GTA:VC & GTA:SA/Battlefield:Vietnam/GT4
Best graphics: X³: Reunion
Finger bashing hell: Track & Field
Best multiplayer: Timesplitters 2/ WRC:3/ NHL series
 
Has this been done?

If not:

Best Story: Definitely Monkey Island. But "Day of the Tentacle" is up there. I just miss the oldschool Lucas Arts style of gaming.

Best Music: Mario... any version, any time. I get bored with music with words very very quickly. But GTA VC had almost enough variety to keep me entertained... especially with the snappy talk shows. Some of those tirades never got old.

Best Graphics: Impossible to say, as they just keep getting better. But there are highlights for games that were ahead of their time or at least made the most of the available hardware, like:

Super Mario 3/Super Mario World: Probably the most anyone could ever get out of the old 8-bit/16-bit architecture. SMW is still pick-up and play fun, even now.

Out of This World: The vector-graphic where he opens up and drinks a can of Coke just blew me away. Never had anyone done so much with so little. Oh, and the game graphics were pretty good, too.

Metal Gear Solid: Awesome utilization of the puny resources available on the PS1. Cinematic style animation just sucked you into the story. Overblown, overdramatic, but definitely involving.

Gran Turismo Series: They always wow me when they come out. Over time, others have gotten better effects, better backgrounds, more cars, etc... but GT always gives you a more photo-realistic experience than any other game on the same console. Can't wait to see GT5.

Finger Bashing Hell: Galaga, before the "turbo" controllers showed up. :lol:, but "Track & Field" and "Summer Games" (on the Coleco?) are definitely some of the worst. Especially if you're playing against someone else.

Best Multiplayer: Mario Kart 64 (!!!), GoldenEye (N64) (!!!), any Mario Party. Gran Turismo on LAN is pretty good, but since you need more than one unit, it probably doesn't count. Micro Machines V3 was a decent attempt at doing 8 player multiplayer on one PS2, but it was difficult to get a handle on, and there were too many interrupts to the flow of the game when people went off.
 
Best story: Metal Gear Solid 2
Best music: Quake 2
Best graphics: Half Life 2 (although i hate to admit it)
Finger bashing hell: Mortal Kombat combos
Best multiplayer: Call of Duty / Medal of Honor series
 
Best Story : Pretty much anything by LucasArts up until Full Throttle.. "Maniac Mansion", "Monkey Island", "Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders" - which is probably the best of the bunch. Who can forget "The Two Headed squirrel of Mt. Rainier"...

Best Music : Look up Rob Hubbard - Made tons of awesome music for C64 Games.. And the soundtrack to Quake by Trent Reznor.. Awesome !...

Best Graphics : My vote goes to either FarCry or NFS:MW.. The latter is absolutely the most convincing city I've seen in a game. FarCry is just plain beautiful...

Finger Bashing Hell : Not so much Finger Bashing as Joystick torture - Basically any "Summer / Winter / Olympic" Games for the C64.. Maybe Tekken 3 as a runner up - but that's because I don't know any combos...

Best Multiplayer : Quake 2....
 
Best story: GTA Vice City/San Andreas/
Best music: GTA Vice City/San Andreas/FF (some of them are really cool)
Best graphics: Gran Turismo 4
Finger bashing hell: Track & Field
Best multiplayer(not online) : (There are no good multiplayer games that are not online) - so I'll go with CoD2
 
Best dtory: Final Fantasy VIII
Best music: Any Mario game, never gets old
Best graphics: Half Life 2
Finger bashing hell: Street Fighter
Best multiplayer(not online) mayhem- super smash bros, star wars battlefront and Tekken 5
Best online multiplayer: Battlefield 2
