Your personal top games

[Fidelias]

I couldn't begin to guess which game is my favorite, let alone remember all the games I've played that I loved, but here's a try at it.

Star Wars Republic Commando (original xbox)
Halo 1 (original xbox)
Knights of the Old Republic 1 (original xbox)
Knights of the Old Republic 2 (original xbox,pc)
Fallout 3 (xbox 360)
Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core (PSP)
Assassins Creed 2 (xbox 360)
Mass Effect 2 (xbox 360)
Mass Effect 1 (xbox 360)
Portal (PC)
Crysis (PC)
Battlefront I and II (original xbox) I almost forgot these, how could I?
Fire Emblem (Gameboy Advance)
Fire Emblem The Sacred Stones (Gameboy Advance)

So yeah, like I said, these are my favorites. I believe that each one is a masterpiece of gaming, so I couldn't even begin to rate them.

 

[Harlemura]

I'm going to mix it up and put reasons so it makes my teeney-weeney list look longer.

Final Fantasy XIII
Best story and characters I've seen, with satisfying strategy to boot.

Wet
Slap-in-the-face reminder that a good story and graphics can be ignored if a game's head-explodingly fun.

Crash Bandicoot (1, 2, 3 and CTR)
Never have I played through a game series so many times without it losing a shred of enjoyment.

Gex series
Geckos are cool.

This list will've probably changed by this time next week.

I thought i would like to share my list of my top 50 favourite games of all time. I thought long and hard about this list and their are a few that didn't make the cut like Civ 3 and house of the dead 2 which were good but not good enough to be put on my top fifty.

This is my top fifty and next to the name is the format i play the game on. Various formats just means that i have played the game on various systems.

-snip-

If you have a list of your own favourite games feel free to post it.

I don't understand how people does this. Do you really need to pick a game and compare them to one another. Seriously, can't you all base a game on his own merit?

[Grey_Focks]

yea, I'm not gonna list fifty...how about 5, but with reasons for them?
(in no particular order, and yes, this list changes constantly, as it should)

Red Dead Redemption- The best sand box game I've ever played, with a great story and great characters. People may say it's just GTA4 with horses, but atleast in RDR the camera doesn't keep zooming on the horse's ass, AND there's no Roman.

Mass Effect 2- Best characters in a game I've ever seen, by far, and all the problems I had with the first (poorly done inventory system and the Mako) are removed. Also possibly my all time favorite final mission in a game, ever.

Halo 3- Yea, that's right, Halo. I've played this game more than any other, and I've enjoyed every second of it. And screw what people say, I enjoyed the story. The multiplayer and co-op don't hurt, either.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade- I'm not really a big fan of RTS, because I suck at them, but for some reason I'm actually good at this one. I just love the over-the-top nature of the 40K universe, and how this game does a really good job of portraying it.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic- I really don't think this one needs any explanation. Greatest Star Wars game and one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

 

[SaberXIII]

In no particular order:

Kingdom Hearts 2
Dark Chronicle
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Onimusha 3
Resident Evil 4
Okami
Devil May Cry 3
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Baldur's Gate 2

 

[Wing Dairu]

1. Ocarina of Time - Solid story, immersive music, and rock-solid gameplay.
2. Portal - See Yahtzee's review of the Orange Box
3. Half-Life 2 - See Portal
4. Half-Life 2: Episode 2 - Never have I become so emotionally invested in a support character.
5. WarioWare (the whole series) - WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[EatPieYes]

So, I'll be introducing myself on this very fine forum by: doing a list of my top favourite games?! What a powerful way to introduce oneself, don't you think? Now let's see.. I'll go for the top 10 then, because top 50 feels a bit too much.

In no particular order:
Civilization 2
Half-Life 2
Shadow Run (SNES)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Mass Effect
Metroid Prime
XIII
Tetris
Shin Megami Tensei III - Nocturne
Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island

There we have it.

So there. I couldn't think of 50 games. But that's too many, isn't it?
15 games off the top of my head that I just had a great time playing.
