Your top 10 favorite games

[DACMAN]

I think doing it by genre is a good idea.


Favorite Old School Game

DOOM-PC-It started the FPS craze. It wasn't the first but it certainly started the trend of them. It also brought gaming to the forefront of entertainment. Still fun to this day.

Favorite Platformer

Conker-Funniest, most inovactive game in a long time. Great characters, and movie parodies everywhere. 100% entertainment. Even great multiplayer. How man platformers have that?

I'll do more later.

1. Chrono Trigger
2. Super Mario Bros 3
3. Sonic & Knuckles
4. Earthworm Jim
5. Vectorman

[TheCorpulent1]

Old-school games?

Chrono Trigger
Earthworm Jim
Shining Force 2
Sonic 2
Gunstar Heroes
Beyond Oasis
Streets of Rage 3
Road Rash
Battletech/MechWarrior 3050
Vectorman

I only had a Genesis before the PS2 era, in case anyone's wondering why more SNES/PS1 games aren't on there. I only played Chrono Trigger on a SNES emulator many, many moons after it was already old.

 

[DeGenerate10]

1. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
2. Fallout 3
3. MLB The Show 09
4. Infamous

6. SOCOM 1
7. SOCOM 2
8. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
9. Call of Duty 4
10. Pokemon Silver

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Revival:

1. Resident Evil 4 (PS2)
2. Resident Evil 2 (I love this game so much I have it on 3 systems: PS1, PC and N64)
3. Resident Evil 3 (I have both PC & PS1 ports)
4. Spider-Man 3 (it has issues, so what? not enough to hate. That's the Spidey experience I was looking forward to for years)
5. Resident Evil Code Veronica X (PS2)
6. Batman Arkham Asylum
7. Onimusha 1 & 3 (I love samurais, and I love Capcom)
8. Assassin's Creed 2
9. Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Genesis)
10. Tetris (this classic never fails to entertain) & Shinobi 3 (Genesis)

My top four games are ones I thought I'd hate, how was I to know they'd be on my top list?

 

[Benstamania]

I'm going to list a series, or a game and it's sequel as "one" game... unless I don't mention a game (like RE4 and 5 in RE). No real particular order, although ME2 is probably my favorite game of all time...

1. The Mass Effect Series: Seriously the best over all games this gen IMHO. Great characters, engaging story and gameplay that I just don't tire of.

2. Metal Gear Solid 3: I'm a fan of MGS as a whole, but 3 still stands as the best of the bunch.

3. Resident Evil (1-3, including Remake)

4. Uncharted 1 & 2

5. Super Mario Bros. 3

6. Super Mario World

7. Legend of Zelda: OoT & Majora's Mask (I actually think MM is the better game... not by much though)

8. Batman: Arkham Asylum

9. Mortal Kombat II (Hoping that MK 2011 is just as good as this.)

10. The Halo Series

Honorable Mentions (Games that would be on this list if I could list more than 10)

Borderlands

The Dragon Age series

Sonic & Knuckles

Toe Jam & Earl (1 & 2)

Earthworm Jim (Sega CD)

Final Fantasy IV

Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy IX

WWF No Mercy (still one of the best wrestling games ever made...)

[Soapy]

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Half-Life 2
Half-Life
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Mega Man Legends
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Resident Evil Remake
Resident Evil 4
Super Smash Bros. Melee

Had to change mine around a little, as I was obviously riding the Resident Evil hype train when I posted previously.

So, in alphabetical order...

Age of Empires II
Call of Duty (series, but more specifically the Infinity Ward titles)
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Half-Life (series)
Halo: Combat Evolved
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Mass Effect
Metal Gear Solid (series)
Phantasy Star Online
Super Smash Bros. Melee

I guess it's time to reevaluate my top ten.

I think this time I'm going to shy away from that "(series)" or "game (and sequel)" BS. Okay, ten games. Here we go...

As always, in alphabetical order...

Age of Empires
Donkey Kong Country 2
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Half-Life 2
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Mass Effect
Mass Effect 2
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Super Mario Bros. 2

a year later, my original list still stands, but I think I might swap out Twisted Metal 2 for maybe Burnout Paradise bc TM2 hasnt held up that well over the years, at least compared to some of the other oldies I put on there

I think Im going to have to change this yet again. Id take out CoD4 and add Heavy Rain instead. Uncharted & SM come out in favor of Uncharted 2 and Infamous. My new list would be

1. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
2. Castlevania Symphony of the Night
3. Super Mario World
4. Heavy Rain
5. Burnout Paradise
6. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
7. Metal Gear Solid 3
8. X-men Legends 2
9. Final Fantasy X
10. Infamous

Im sure this will change again next year
