If someone came to you and they had no idea what so ever what video games are like, and you could only show them one game to give them the best idea of what playing video games is about, what would it be?

I personally would have to say KOTOR

I would say the best option would depend upon the age, for example if the guy was a kid - probably Diablo 2. If he was older (40+) I would show him Planescape Torment. In general I would say Half Life 2 + Episodes as shooters are well liked by people of all ages

Oh snap, this is for games currently out. :lol:

I would probably show either Chrono Trigger, Resident Evil 4, Crysis, or Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

Bioshock would show the atmospher of games.

world of goo would show the artistic side of games.

and Mario galaxy would show the fun side of games.

so one of those would be my choice.

Either Crysis, Grand Theft Auto 4, or Super Mario Galaxy (haven't played it but its appeal is very strong)

Bioshock to make them live a movie.

Portal because someone who's never seen a computer game is more likely to figure out that concept than having to manage several weapons, reloading, enemies trying to kill you "intelligently" and traversing a 3d enviroment...

Actually...

Portal and Bioshock. Then let them play something 2d... Super Mario 3 or World perhaps.

Hmmm... one of these 5 games.

  • Super Mario Galaxy
  • Halo 3
  • God of War
  • Final Fantasy XIII (Which will probably be one of the greatest RPG... probably)
  • World of Warcraft

Tetris. It's easy to pick up and play, addictive, and it provides challenge without (much) frustration as game over's are at the player's fault rather than an ultra-super-elite hardcore gamer.

hmm... id say:

-any mario platformer

-zelda OOT or WW

-Bioshock

-LBP

-any Metroid game

-Fire Emblem 7 or 8

EDIT: BTW, i love that no one says halo, or GeoW, or kz2 or anything like that. those are probably the most talked about games on SW, but i think everyone knows that theyre really nowhere near the best.

hey i take that game for the story, plot twists and characters, not for the looks and manners of the characters
