Although my views might change in the future, so far my top five are;
1. Dues Ex
2. Killer 7
3. Operation Flashpoint
4. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
5. Knights of the Old Republic

Holy shit! Somebody actually played Dreamfall besides me.

I thought it looked cool, but haven't played it, what kind of game is it?

Is bad-assery a genre? Don't play it if you're heavily into action and combat, as it's more story driven than anything else. You'll occasionally switch between three characters to progress the story but at the games whim, not your own. Hold on. I'm just going to pull up a review. Judge for yourself. This is a pretty good site (they're a little more biased toward Xbox but that shouldn't sway you in any non-Xbox titles as long as you know how to form an opinion. You do know how to form an opinion don't you? Just put your lips together and blow... I don't know where that came from... I'm sorry)

Tricky to cut it to five but here it goes

5. Lufia - SNES
One of the first games I've ever played and one of the hardest (at least at the start). A great rpg for its time.

4. Tetris - Gameboy/GC/PC
Classic puzzle fun

3. FFVII - PS
Although many FF's could of made the list got to give it to this one, first one I ever got into and the best battle system

2. Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past/Ocarina of Time -SNES/N64
Great adventure games that are seemingly timeless (which is why they can just keep using the same game over and over again and I still love it.) Sorry about the tie but I couldn't decide

1. Secret of Mana - SNES
Adventure/RPG at its best

 

[oblivliam1]

1. Lego Indiana Jones (Xbox 360)

I don't have five. I have a lot of games I like but I often find too many flaws to call them one of the best.

Sanitarium was one of the best stories in gaming, but it was a point and click adventure and had no real game to speak of.

Portal had the best humor in games, no question about it, but it didn't have much game. It all felt like a tutorial.

Knights of the Old Republic 2 had alot of potential, but Lucas Arts demanded it be done by Christmas and alot of stuff was left out.

Planescape: Torment was the closest thing to perfect I can personally think of.

The original Unreal was a huge step forward for the FPS genre, not only was the AI above average, but the graphics were amazing, the atmosphere was stunning, and it was generally tense as you walked through the dark corridors waiting for something to pop out at you. It also had a generally interesting story.


Ironicly I just named five, I suppose their as close to my favorites as any can be.

 

[duckfi8]

1. Fallout 3
2. Half Life series and mods
3. Company of Heroes
4. Duke Nukem 3D
5. Call of Duty series (i have every one of them)

 

[rockingnic]

1. Halo 3 (soon to be Halo 3 ODST )
2. Halo: CE
3. almost any FF
4. any MGS game
5. SSBs games

 

[Rimefrost]

hmm...

1. Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal (I won't include the other R&C games, but this one was the best of the series)
2. Dark Cloud 2 (amazing story, characters, music, bosses, etc. Overall fantastic game)
3. Final Fantasy 9 (My first and favorite FF game)
4. Sly Cooper (I still go back and play the boss fights in this game every so often, very fun)
5. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (The only 3d sonic I ever liked, and I liked it more than all the 2d ones...)

 

[StrelokVasiv]

1. Max Payne
2. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl (Oblivion Lost and Arsenal mods)
3. Hitman Blood Money
4. World in Conflict
5. Super Smash bros Brawl

 

[Yegargeburble]

Top 5 games of all time:

1. Chrono Trigger (My favorite RPG of all time)
2. Chrono Cross (Also an awesome RPG)
3. Fire Emblem (The whole bit of the series I have played...I cannot choose just one)
4. Final Fantasy Tactics(If no one has noticed by now, I like RPGs / Turn based strategy RPGs)
5. Condemned (An awesome game)

Honourable mentions:

Fallout 3 (I love this game, especially with a fuckton of mods)
Bioshock (Again, freakin' awesome game)
The Godfather (This game is weirdly addictive...)
TLoZ: Link's Awakening (Favorite of the handheld Zeldas...unfortunately, I have yet to play OoT or MM)
Shining Force (It is immensely fun, but I like Fire Emblem and FFT more.)

5 3 worst games I have played:

1. Final Fantasy X-2
2. Red Steel (It wasn't particularly bad, just boring...)
3. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (Also, not bad, but lacks the ability to keep my attention like FFT did.

Well...cannot think of any other games I hated. I must be a lucky gamer.

Anyways, here are three different lists, none of which are important. There will probably be different games up there if asked in a couple weeks, as I am getting into Grandia, and I must say, it is fun.

 

[Zydrate]

In no particular order:

Unreal Series, stopping at UT2k4.
GTA series, starting from Vice City.
Fallout 3
The Elder Scrolls series, starting from Morrowind

Honorable mention to Half Life.

That's a list of 4 but it encompasses far more than just 5.

This seems like the perfect time and place to carelessly throw my gaming opinions into the internet and see if anyone cares!

1)ff ix(ps1)
2)ff x (ps2)
3)ff vi (ps1)
4)ff viii (ps1)
5)wow, i think..or maybe dawn of war, depending on my mood...

you *might* have noticed there alot of final fantasy titles. i loved those games, and untill i got access to a pc they were pretty much the only thing i played. Probably shouldnt have admited that...

i noticed that you didn't list final fantasy 7 or crisis core on there...

unfourtunately i have never owned either of those, i heard 7 was really good, which explains why when i went game hunting nowhere seemed to have it.

and that's exactly why emulators were created.

Maybe the escapist community would like to do a syncronised cheer for emulators?

In order from Best to Fifth Best
1: The World Ends With You (DS)
2:Apollo Justice: Ace Attorny (DS)
3: Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
4: Bioshock
5: Kingdom Hearts 2
