Gabe Newell reveals his favorite video game of all time.

[QUOTE="percech"]Thought he was gonna say Halo. Anyway, I agree with him that SMG 1 and 2 were disappointing games.LastRambo341

Edit- Misread post, sorry. :D

I respect his choice, but to me, Mario 64 was such a drastic departure from the series that it bothered me. It had fewer levels and a mission based formula. I was over joyed when mario returned to his old self with proper platforming level designin the galaxy games (especaially Galaxy 2)

Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy, and super Mario Galaxy 2

are all better games than Mario 64 IMO

M64 was such a big step forward for consoles. It puts Ninty's ancient Wii technology to shame.

Such great memories of that game. My little sister has the DS version of it, I should steal it :twisted:

Well can't blame him really good game.

The man has good taste in games, color me surprised. I honestly expected him to pick something like World of Warcraft or Doom.

My second favorite game of all time. Right now for me I'd say it's Metroid Prime, Diablo II, Halo: Combat Evolved, Super Mario 64 and at number 1, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

Still though I'm curious to know what he thinks of the other four games in my top five.

Hey Gabe, we should hang out you and me, man. Have some coffee/tea/beer/lemonade whatever the hell it is you people enjoy drinking and talk this stuff up man! :D

I was expecting Doom as well, considering he likes Id so much. :P

a console game, not a surprise. he has good taste...

Gabe is right on both Mario 64 and Portal 2 :). Portal 2 looks amazing.

Gabe Newell has been consolized!!! :o

The man responsible for the most important PC shooters likes a kiddy console game best? Oh noes, teh traitor! :lol:

That was a time when consoles were consoles instead of wanna be pcs

He needs to lose that weight (And comb his hair for once :P ) or we may never see HL2 ep3 or HL3 :(

Every time Gabe is brought up in a disscusion, someone just has to make a joke about he's weight.

Isn't it weird that a developers favorite game isn't one of their own?PS2_ROCKS

I'd say that's because there was literally nothing you didn't know about the game. There was no sense of amazement in a game you made.. since you made it lol.

well, the guy needs to lose some weight.

Ya, he's seriously putting himself in great risk with all that weight. He should take a leaf out of Peter Jackson's book and cut down on the pounds.

Great choice. Easily one of the best games ever made.
