My best gaming experience?

When Grand Theft Auto: Vice City hit the store shelves but I couldn't buy it yet because A) It was too close too my birthday, which was like a month after it launched. B) It was out of stock for a number of days due to high demand. One day my dad and I went out to Blockbuster to see if they had a copy for rent (I really couldn't wait to play this game, little to-be 14 year old me). Nothing on the shelves...

However, right as we were just about to leave through the exit door, a guy enters the store with a video game box and placed it on the counter as he was returning it. I was so close to leaving the store but I had to ask the clerk what game this person just returned. You can figure out the rest.

Man, that was the happiest moment in my life. I had a weekend to play it so I played the living hell out of it. Beat the story within just under 3 days, then continued finishing up the rest when I got the game for my birthday a short time later.

The whole wall run thing was incredible.

Thanks for answers.

My best gaming experience this year - Hitman: Absolution.

My best gaming experience of all time - Bioshock.

Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix. Prior to that I'd never really played an action/adventure game, just NES stuff and a few PS1 combat type things. And I'd always choose which game to buy based on the picture on the box :) then I got the internet and started reading game reviews and Retro Helix looked really interesting. I was just blown away. Really long game on 4 disks with tons and tons of extremely varied environments, the characters were great, it had an actual story (though I didn't really understand it). That was a great experience from beginning to end.

Playing through Tales of the Abyss for the first time.

Good story, great characters, great character development and an absolutely brilliant battle system. Playing through Tales of the Abyss felt like going on a real adventure.

I have so many, but I'll just name a few:

-Playing Super Mario 64 back in the day, the graphics and gameplay were incredible.

-Playing through Metroid Prime, the music, atmosphere and gameplay were incredible.

-All of the hours I've put into playing Super Smash Bros Melee with friends, definitely my favorite multiplayer game by far.

-Playing through all the Mega Man games on the Anniversary Collection, those were some great challenging games.

Too many and to specific to list but in short:

- Final Fantasy VIII
- Final Fantasy IX
- Uncharted 2
- Rogue Galaxy
- Playing Metal Gear Solid 4, after finished MGS1 years ago and 2, 3 and PW just a few months before playing 4 itself (This is the most outstanding for me so far)
- The Secret of Monkey Island
- The Last Story being released in EU (though I STILL haven't really played it yet >___< )
- The Elder Scrolls III - Morowind (For a while I was SO immersed I literally LIVED in Vvardenfell! Took lunch when my Character did and went to bed in game before doing so in RL. Yeah, I was THAT addicted to that game for a while. Never before, never after any game felt THAT immersive to me.)

And I guess Ni No Kuni - Wrath of the White Witch will make an addition to this list too soon.

a few:

GTA 3 for the first time. Never heard a radio like that in a game.

For some reason I've never liked GTA games afterwards.

World of Warcraft vanilla. It was the richest most lively game world I've ever seen.

Mass Effect 2's biotic charge. I actually don't care for much of the series, but the biotic charge is great.
