Your top 10 video games of all time.

[Onslaught]

We seem to have some gamers on this form. I was asked by another dork the other day to list the 10 best games of all time. Not the most influential games, but the games that I thought are the most fun or memorable. It took me a long time to break it down to just ten. So what are some of your favorites?

Gamecube

Super NES

X-Box and PS3

N64

Sega Saturn

Gamecube (PS2 one sucked)

Super NES

Commodore 64

PS1 (this is the import one and it was better than the US version)

Sega Saturn (If this game keeps going up in value I'll retire off my copy one day.)


Honorable mention

[sportyaccordy]

I'm pretty easy to please. I can't think of any beyond these

[Rupert]

Warcraft II
AoE II
GT4
Quake I
Marathon II
SimCity 2000
Escape Velocity
Civ II

[Submariner]

- Zelda: Ocarina of time (perfect, even if cartridge based games were somewhat flawed)
- Perfect Dark: Best shooter of the time until,
- Halo II: not as good as Halo I but,
- Halo I: Had no online multi-player but still offered immense replay value, similar to,
- MW2: Nothing is more satisfying than fucking people up in multi-player with an AC-130 unless you're into old school games like,
- Zelda: A Link to the Past: Who the hell knows the chronology of Zelda, but at the time, it was (in my humble opinion) the best game ever made, even better than my previous favorite,
- Castlevania: Great graphics and music coupled with a chilling story and addictive game play, similar to but slightly better than another epic game,
- The original legend of Zelda: "Experience the challenge of endless adventure" summed it up nicely, but it was never quite as challenging as playing,
- Super Smash Brothers Melee: piss drunk with my friends in college.  

I only have nine - every other game can go fuck itself.

Throw some C&C Red Alert, the original Driver, and GT2 in there, and we have the winnar

[565]

FFX really is a must play.

[Rupert]

Throw some C&C Red Alert, the original Driver, and GT2 in there, and we have the winnar

I don't know why no one else here likes this game

[Laconian]

1. Dragon Warrior - got me hooked on RPGs at the age of 5, and is probably responsible for me taking 4th grade reading courses when I was in kindergarten. Lots of text.
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Final Fantasy III (or 6, whichever numbering scheme you prefer)
4. Earthbound
5. Oblivion
6. Gran Turismo III
7. Deus Ex
8. Half Life
9. Goldeneye

[MX793]

In no particular order:

-Final Fantasy XII (PS2) - Of the "traditional" FF games I've played, this had the best/most enjoyable combination of story and gameplay
-Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
-Goldeneye 64 (N64)
-Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)
-Burnout 2 (PS2)
-Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
-Supercross Circuit (PSX) - the Gran Turismo of off-road motorcycle racing, the only SX/MX game to my knowledge that has real world tracks
-Suikoden III (PS2) - Story is told through four converging/parallel points of view.  Possibly my favorite RPG.
-Tetris (various platforms)
-Mario Kart 64 (N64)

Honorable mention to:
Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2)
Uncharted 2 (PS3)
Ogre Battle 64 (N64)
Shadows of the Empire (N64)

[Laconian]

Oh yeah, Suikoden III was great. I got 100% of the characters.

How did I forget Tactics?

[2o6]

Introduced in 2003, and it's still very relevant and has an unreal replay value. Plus, the huge amount of addons and buildings that are user created is just excellent.

[Laconian]

How is Simcity 4 drastically different from Simcity 3, 2000, and the original?

[2o6]

How is Simcity 4 drastically different from Simcity 3, 2000, and the original?

You ever played it?

[Laconian]

You ever played it?

No, but your comment about 4 is also applicable to all of SimCity's predecessors. I was wondering if 4 has anything that is particularly game changing.

3. Alpha Centauri (PC)
4. BF Bad Company II (PS3)

Same idea, but fancier.

[2o6]

I think the better question is, has 2o6 ever played SC2000?

I've played all of them, extensively.


SC4 is very different, lotsa features and knick nacks that make the game very realistic and tediously fun.
