I'd probably have to go with a new album. It lasts the longest, and can be intigrated into everyday life (listen to music while working out, in the car, at parties ect)

From my expierence you can only watch a movie so many times (like 5 tops) before it starts getting old. Although a really good movie can have a lasting impact on you, and/or create some really great quotes.

Video games can be really fun, the very best games can just be near bliss. But in my experience when I'm playing an amazing game the rest of the world becomes less appealing. I start to become less interested in sports, social gatherings and such - the world loses color and the for a short while the game becomes my favorite thing to do.

If it was seriously the best album I've ever heard and I get to pick the genre, then I would go with that. After all, I could listen to it many times and not get bored.

A game, if its done well, can be one of the biggest forms of media in the world. People watch movies once and a while, but there's yet to be one that stands head and shoulders above a comparable music composition, and video games get the best of both worlds AND you can be a part of them.

When I watch Neo flip around and do dance moves to kill Smiths and be generally awesome, I think to myself, "What if I was Neo in reality? That would rule!"

When I play a video game, I AM that person. When I step into the shoes of Solid Snake, I'm that character and I have a definite impact on the world around me in that universe. And I get an awesome soundtrack. And I get to step back and watch a movie. And then I get to be Snake again. That's just awesome.

If it was the best game ever it'd have the best music ever/cinematics/story telling/writing/character development etc etc, so I'd go with the game.

hmm...this is a very good question. I'd have to agree with carrot-cake though, if it actually was the best album I've ever heard that is what I'd choose and because the best video game is already coming out (Modern Warfare 2) ;)

Longer then a good album? I've been listening to some albums for 15 years... And...with that my answer should be obvious. :P

Defiantly an album, especially if it was the best I've ever heard...would have to be mindblowingly good:o

Best album, it would probably last the longest.

Oh man... The album, I guess. But if the game had a ton of content and replayability, I might chose that instead.

Well, for a game to be definitively the best game I've ever played, it would have to be better than Unreal Tournament 2004, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, and Deus Ex COMBINED, and I'm quite frankly afraid that I'd die from that much awesome.

The best album I've ever heard, well, I'm pretty sure that comes out on September 15th, so I'd rather not waste a wish on that.

So it comes down to the best movie ever. I think I'd take that.
