Top ten favorite video games ever!!!!!

[Addendum]

I tried to play the Marathon games. Too much of a hassle to get it to work on Windows.

Edit- Found out all I had to do was get that Aleph One thingie, and copy it into each game. It worked

What is interesting in seeing what people post here is you can tell what generation they grew up in. (NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, N64, XBOX etc etc)

All of mine are current or next gen. I'm probably older than most of you.

My list is more the impression they made, not so much how they'd stack up now. Bolded and underlined my list in case no one wants to read why I thought they were lol.


1. Final Fantasy 7. It just had a great story, and got me to play RPG's. At that point I thought RPG's would be boring and nerd games, my friend got me to play this and I was hooked. Later after that I went back and started playing RPG's from older consoles and just the greats I had missed before hand. The materia system has yet to be topped in a FF game, the characters were great, and Aeris's death was a great moment in gaming.

2.Counter Strike. I have a great deal of memories with this game lol. Many LAN parties with 20+ friends involving beer, pizza, and drunken CS matches. Also fun online, and it still has tons of ppl playing it today despite a newer version, and other newer graphic FPS's. It's just a classic.

3.Suikoden 2. This game did a lot of things right others have done wrong. It made your best friend your enemy, but did a good job of making you never hate him. It had a dated fighting system and graphics but still made fights fun. Luca Blight might be one of the baddest enemies in gaming history even if few ppl know the name, him killing the villager after making her oink and crawl on the ground like a pig and saying "DIE PIG!!!" was a great moment. Then it took 3 whole teams to barely take him down while filled with arrows.

4.Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers. Probably still the best fighting game ever. It dated the crazy 3 button motion 70 hit combo craziness (but still fun) from the Marvel(X-Men) vs. Capcom games. It just had a well rounded cast, a group elimination mode, and all the classic gameplay from regular SF2 just updated a bit.

5.Metal Gear Solid. It had a great storyline, solid gameplay (no pun intended), and some of the best (and first) interactivity between real life to a point and the game. Like looking on the back of your case for Meryl's code, Psycho Mantis reading your memory card and saying "I see you like Suikoden" or something, to mashing the buttons to save Meryl's life and being told to put the controller to your arm while it vibrates to make you feel better, to Psycho Mantis moving your controller with the same feature. All along it had you guessing (if you hadn't heard the storyline already), and gave you enough reason to play it thru again.

6.Super Mario 3. I liked Mario 1, 2 was fun, but 3 just did it best on the NES IMO. Mario is a classic, but the addition of the tail and flying, and various other additions just made it stand apart. Throw in the two player mode that meant more than just taking turns, but being able to battle eachother, the mini-games and so on.

7.Twisted Metal (both 1 and Black are tied). I was eager to get my Playstation 1. My mom had went out to get it that morning and I had been doing chores to get it. I was eager and playing regular Sega Genises games that morning in their 16 bit glory. She brings it in and my brother sets it up for me, and we pop in the first game we had for it, Twisted Metal. The graphics difference from what I was just playing to that game has stuck with me lol. Black reminded me of why I liked the series and just upped it. So 1 for the memory of that first major leap in graphics, and Black for just being a better game.

8.comics Zone. This game was just pure fun. The martial arts action just by pushing different directions and attacking, the use of your rat and different paths, and arcade like feel just made it something to play over and over again. Of course that's partially because I always got stuck on the rope part mid way thru the game and when you died you had to start all over.

9.Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I wasn't an N64 fan, but my friend let me borrow his to play this while he borrowed my Playstation for a week. This game just did everything right. It brought everything that made Zelda good into 3D without screwing any of it up. Mario may have felt more next gen at it's time for graphics, but Zelda just was a notch above it. Everything from the music, to the story, to the gameplay and extra's were great.

10.Time Crisis 2 (Arcade version). I could spend forever on that game lol, and am damn good at it. Who knows how much I've spent playing it while waiting for the movies to start, or at an arcade.
