    You have 1 nomination - what is the best ever computer game?

    If you could nominate one game as being the best computer game ever since computers were invented, what game would you nominate, and why?

    Starcraft, by far.

    Because of what's it's done for professional gaming, it's sheer popularity and for being the most competitive 1v1 game online.

    You're on here now aswell then, kreeeee?

    I saw your ninja edit there!

    I'd vote for Quake, because, in my linited experience of computer games, it was something that alot of other games could aspire to become.

    My nomination would be David Braben's original Elite.

    Lightyears ahead of anything else at the time, and defined an entire genre of gaming. Incredible depth, gameplay, variety and for period, superb graphics. It was just so complete in every single way. Absolute perfection. In 20 years since it was first released, it hasn't be bettered despite the exponential increase in computer power.

    I'm not sure... there's Red Alert (2), Morrowind, Unreal Tournament (2004)... but for sheer genius, class, originality and humour, it's got to be Dungeon Keeper 2. If you haven't played it, you're missing out.

    Metal Gear Solid. I had the original for the PS.. I completed it at least 30 times (I swear this is true, I can practically play the game in my head off by heart).
