Top ten best games ever made?

[Canid117]

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

No why should it?

 

[ZeroMachine]

My personal favorites, or the best I think have ever been made?

Because my favorite games are Dragon Age: Origins and Chrono Trigger, but the game I think that is the best ever made is Red Dead Redemption.

And the best game experience I've ever had was Alan Wake.

My mind works in weird ways... looks like the thread is going for "favorites", so here are mine (these are not necessarily the games I can enjoy whenever- these are simply the games that I've gotten the most overall enjoyment out of, and can usually stick with all the way through without trouble, or have just spent the most time on while still having fun):

10. Halo 3: ODST
9. TES 4: Oblivion (methinks that, as long as I can put my own music into the game on the PC version, Skyrim will not only replace Oblivion on the list, but skyrocket up to spot 3 or 2, or maybe even 1)
8. Pokemon: Heartgold
7. Minecraft
6. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
5. Resident Evil 4
4. Alan Wake
3. Halo: Reach (for the multiplayer, definitely NOT for the single player)
2. Red Dead Redemption
1. Tied for first are, as I stated, Dragon Age: Origins and Chrono Trigger.

Not at all. Not. At. All.

And there is literally no reason why it should bother anyone.

Although if we were going purely by quality then I would remove Oblivion and Fallout 3. The rest can stay. Yeah they were awesome games but just too many issues with them. Animation, voice acting, scriptwriting, plot. Lots of errors with in all of those areas.

[Mr.Pandah]

Some of these lists make me sad to know that So many haven't grown up with some of the great classics. I understand some didn't put them on their lists because they don't think they deserve a top 10 spot, but...it's just so interesting now.

I can never make a list that just keeps it at a top 10 but I know three games that will always be in my memory for as long as I live in video games.

Super Mario RPG:Legend of the Seven Stars
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Luigi's Mansion

 

[starwarsgeek]

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?

 

[Rule Britannia]

Mine-
1. Oblivion
2. Assassin's Creed 1
3. Call of Duty World at War
4. [PROTOTYPE]
5. Fable III

[Stall]

Jesus. There are some horrible lists in this thread. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and all, but dear lord, that doesn't mean they are somehow immune from me having an opinion on their opinion by saying its all crap. Some of the people in this thread make my very mediocre top ten look amazing.

Anyways, here is my list in no particular order. I honestly have a hard time remembering 10 games I really liked. I've got an amazing memory for important things, but for some reasons, video games just go in one ear and through the other. Meh, who knows?

Demons Souls
Dialbo 2
Star Wars Galaxies (pre-cu, of course)
Morrowind
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
Bioshock
Half-Life 2
Crash Bandicoot 3
Super Mario 64
The Sims and Sim City 3000 (it's a tie)

And an honorable mention to Warcraft III, Starcraft, Tetris, and Vanilla WoW. And I guess Gran Turismo gets an honorable honorable mention...
