Top ten best games ever made?

[Gxas]

1) Pokémon White
2) Pokémon Black
3) Pokémon Platinum
4) Pokémon Pearl
5) Pokémon Emerald
6) Pokémon Sapphire
7) Pokémon Crystal
8) Pokémon Silver
9) Pokémon Yellow
10) Pokémon Red

Yeah. Think that's about right.

Actually it should be

10 Pokémon White
9 Pokémon Black
8 Pokémon Platinum
7 Pokémon Pearl
6 Pokémon Emerald
5 Pokémon Sapphire
4 Pokémon Crystal
3 Pokémon Silver
2 Pokémon Yellow
1 Pokémon Red

You're wrong. You're so wrong. See, the original games may have set the stage for all the other ones, but Gen 5 is still the strongest set of titles in the series.

Red, Blue, and Yellow are virtually unplayable for me anymore because of how slow-paced and broken they are. In fact, the only reason that they rank up there at all is because they were the start of the greatest franchise ever. Taking that away, Diamond and Ruby would be 5th and 8rd, respectively, leaving Silver the lowest of the low.

[HeatproofShAdOw]

Can't really make a list, but did anyone else play Comix Zone? That game was freaking amazing.

 

[Zurgadai]

In some semblance of order:

10: Halo 3
9: Batman, Arkham Asylum
8: Pokemon Saphire
7: Tekken 2 or maybe 6
6: COD, Modern Warfare 2
5: KoTOR II
4: GTA: Liberty City Stories (specifically "The Ballad of Gay Tony")
3: Age of Empires II, The Conquerors
2: Portal
1: Star Wars, Knights of The Old Republic


i have yet to play Baldur's gate but anyway, think this list gives some variation across the board gameplay wise.

Edit: Just out of curiosity, which Splatterhouse are you referring to in the OP? The original or the 360 remake?

Remake

I've been meaning to get that. Never played a Splatterhouse before, but they look solid.

The older games are on there too, right? As extra content?

Sure are

It's just the main campaign is better in every way.

10. Heavenly Sword - best combat system
9. Mirror's Edge - revolutionary and most unique
8. Okami - beautiful art and gameplay
7. Demon's Souls - ultimate dungeon crawl
6. King's Field 2 - the actual best adventure game
5. Super Metroid - exploration, choices
4. Red Dead Redemption - Greatest story and character
3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - see below heheh
2. Bioshock - Art and music direction, atmosphere
1. Fallout 3 - Best of everything, too much to explain

LttP - This game is what the Zelda series should have turned out to be. You get to actually EXPLORE and take on dungeons in the order you want. It's still limited in this game, I blame the snes technology, but after LttP the choices began to fall away. Not only that, but you could take on bosses with different tactics, and there were even items/equipment that were entirely optional to pick up. God do I <3 this game and condemn all the Zelda's made afterward. (OoT is good, definitely worth playing, but still not as grand as LttP.)

King's Field - I need to say this as well. If you haven't played this series then you don't know the AMAZING attribute they have that games plainly seem afraid of. When your proficiencies in King's Field as far as weapon ability, you actually got better with that weapon. Use the Crescent Axe long enough, you become slightly faster with it while dealing more damage. The game actually changed as if your character was training. I have yet to experience that in another series. (Note: It was slight and seemed to fade away as the series went on. Hell, Demon's Souls is sorta the predecessor and it does not have this.)

 

[squeeble69]

In no real order:

Mass Effect
Silent Hill 2
The Witcher 2
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Bioshock
The Longest Journey
Dragonball Z Budokai 3 (partly due to nostalgia, partly due to it being AWESOME!!!)
The Legacy of Kain series (counting all the games together)
Ratchet & Clank (or Jak 3; I can't decide!)

 

[Fightgarr]

The thread title says "top ten best games ever made", OP says "10 favorite games"... Those aren't necessarily the same thing. There are games that I love that aren't particularly well-made or well-designed. Castle Crashers is one of my top 10 favorite games, but I openly recognize that it's not because it's design principles are good. Hell, I hate games like Gears of War but openly admit they're well designed. In fact, the only favorite of mine that I would consider being one of the best games ever made would be Shadow of the Colossus, which I only say because every element of that game works towards it's single effect, not because it's really fun.

 

[TheEvilCheese]

In no particular order...

Chrono Trigger (Ok, this is no. 1 really)

Resident Evil 4 (Wii edition, oddly re-playable)

Fallout NV (Because space lasers are always fun)

TES IV: Oblivion (hundreds of hours of immersion)

The World Ends With You (surprisingly involving combat and interesting story)

Pokémon Black (Because Pokémon)

COD: Modern Warfare (PC, because the thrill of the multiplayer is still something special)

Mass Effect 2 (Because Bioware RPG + shooter mechanics = awesome)

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (Extreme nostalgia and Chao garden)

... and of course TLOZ: OOT. For reasons I need not go into at this stage.

[bushwhacker2k]

Does it bother anyone else that only 2 of the 40 games listed in this thread are PC games?

A little less than that I think all of the games on OP's post are 360 games (pardon me if I'm mistaken), but indeed.

I have played soooo many games, top 10 lists are hard for people who have played as much carp as I have. : /

 

[CerealBoxMicrowave]

1: Half-Life 2
2: Team Fortress 2
3: Portal
4: Company of Heroes
5: Fallout 3
6: Left 4 Dead 2

9: Total War: Shogun 2
10: World of Warcraft

You only need to glance at my top three to figure out that I am an unabashed Valve fan.
