All time favorite game?

Hydro mentioned something about liking FPS games, which somehow lead to using a mic in games, and then Brian started in about drinking beer while talking online. And here we are...

I suppose you weren't actually looking for an answer?

Oh! I believe I failed to mention: Kojima has promised a Zone of the Enders 3 (Zoe being a favorite game of mine)! But no one knows when it will be underway... <3

What system is Zone of Enders for? And what's it about?

I played Fist of Mars for GBA. I thought it was fantastic.

PS2. ZOE 3 would probably be for the PS3, or a later generation. Possibly the PSP if they decide to be retarded.

It's been awhile, and I was young(er) so I don't remember the specifics of the storyline. But, you play as Leo Stenbuck and stumble across an orbital frame, Jehuty, while being attacked by other orbital frames. From then on you pilot Jehuty as Leo attempts to protect his friend and fight against some enemy force I don't remember the name of. XD

Zone of the Enders 2 is similar, except you play as the pilot Dingo Egret who stumbles upon Jehuty and must fight against the orbital frame Anubis. However, due to a turn of events and the clever actions of some girl I can't remember the name of, Dingo can't leave the cockpit of Jehuty or he'll die ('cause he's hooked up to the orbital frame and it is keeping him alive.)

A "giant robot"-themed action-adventure, Zone of the Enders not only looks great, but it plays great--a rarity in this junk-heap-filled genre. Set in the future inside an orbital space colony, Zone casts players as Leo, a young boy who inadvertently and unwillingly becomes the pilot of an orbital frame (giant robot) named Jehuty during a brutal invasion by hostile forces. While the original story is based on a familiar premise used in Japanese animation, the orbital frame designs are quite fresh, with nice touches such as glowing-vein-like patterns on Jehuty's armor that change color according to the armor's condition.

The mission-based gameplay in Zone requires Leo to travel back and forth between various locations, performing simple tasks and fighting squads of enemy orbital frames in addition to the occasional "boss." Piloting Jehuty is a breeze thanks to intuitive controls, effective onscreen displays, and a rotating third-person camera viewpoint that's refreshingly unobtrusive. While the 3-D environments are somewhat cramped, they're richly detailed and very interactive, allowing for some serious property damage that, along with civilian casualties, is frowned upon.

I see...

Well, unless they port it to some Nintendo system, I won't be able to play it any time soon.

The very thought seems frightening and impossible but... Snake, a Konami/Hideo Kojima character, is in Brawl.

Merry, you brilliant person! Why haven't I played that yet? I should definitely check it out. Thank you for sparking such an idea.

Nope. The two PS2 games (which, aside from the GBA game, are the only ones I'm aware of) are more arcade-button-mash style. Live kick-ass orbital frame action! The youtube video I linked to is a prime example.
