There were tearful choices to be made like cutting TTYD, but I think this is what I feel is right, at least at the moment. Funny I don't share a single game with Brawlman, not even in my top 43. Actually I haven't played a single game on your list.

There is nothing wrong with that. I want the lists to be different, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Just goes to show how completely different our tastes in games are.

A lot of your lists are Nintendo games. While I am a fan of Nintendo and their game, a lot of my games are either Arcade (Style), from Sega, Capcom, or Platinum. Similar to Max, my brother and I played a lot of Capcom and Sega games growing up.

Sorta-ish chronological.

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Metal Gear Solid 1
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Tekken 3
Silent Hill 1
Silent Hill 2
Onimusha
REmake
Resident Evil 4
God of War 1
God of War 2
Ratchet and Clank 3
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Super Mario Galaxy
Final Fantasy 10
Okami
Portal
Half-Life 2
Mass Effect 1
Uncharted 2
Infamous 1
Infamous 2
Fallout: New Vegas
Journey
The Last of Us
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

And what rests I'd consider too fresh and subject to recency bias. There's also a bunch of games that I wouldn't call my personal best that that I still look back on very fondly as I experienced them first, like Zone of the Enders, Tenchu, and Dynasty Warriors 2 (actually the very first Playstation 2 game I ever played, so yeah).

Aliens Vs Predator (the old one)
The old one kind of doesn't narrow it down. The arcade beat em up, the Jaguar fps, the pc fps (or its sequel), or the ps360 one?
Thanks, I forgot to ask him on that one.

Major respect for you. I do consider Tekken 3 better, but Tekken 2 has the best soundtrack of the arcade/PS1 trilogy. I honestly prefer the soundtrack in Tekken 2 more than 4, 5, 6, and especially 7.

Resident evil
I assume vanilla RE1 on Playstation.

The PC FPS. Getting to play as all 3, especially the xenomorph (although slightly nausea inducing), was great.

I had forgotten that aspect of it. Listening to the soundtrack now. Brings back memories of sitting, frittering away the days after I left school playing vs mode with friends.

Yes, that's the one. There's just something about the 'haunted house' setting and the terrible dialogue that the sequals never managed to live up to it for me.


I should also add Tenchu to the list. It had it's flaws, but the atmosphere, the open levels, just the concept overall... Not sure I'd have the patience for the hideous controls nowadays though.

There's a lot of time left till the end of time, and my opinions shift too much to confidently place a stake anywhere particular like all those people do with their numbers and stuff. Am already starting to hate this very post as I type the insufferable bastard. SOMA got under the skin and never left, but more as narrative than game. Others too. May return with more formulated thoughts in future, brain is currently a fuzzball I don't trust communicating words with minimal potential misinterpretations. šŸ˜‡
