Not seen one of these in a while (I don't think) now that loads more games have shown themselves and a few potential GOTG's I thought it about time to revisit your top 10 games of all time.

In no particular order and subject to change. Choices are based on a number of factors - ie hours spent playing, times revisited, still playing/play from time to time etc.

Gauntlet
Hexen
Resident Evil
Might & Magic 7: For Blood and Honour
Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legacy of Kane: Soul Reaver
Red Dead Redemption
Half Life 2
Doom (original)

...and the rest:

PCars 2
Dungeon Master
Pandemonium
Gran Turismo
Baldurs Gate
Tekken 3
Silent Hill
Exhumed
Tomb Raider (original)
Quake


Still not completely satisfied. Just too many games to choose from over the course of the last 30 years or so. Goldeneye, King of Fighters series, Super Hang On, Final Fantasy 7 & 8, Burnout 3, Rolling Thunder, MGS series, Dark Souls series, Sega Rally...nope, bloody impossible. :lol:

Go on then, it's been sometime... By the by, how the heck do you know how many times you've played it!?

I haven't really played anything NEW, I think the patience I had to get stuck into games in my teens has died. These are my favourites, not the best, but the ones that meant the most to me.

Anyway

1) Zelda OOT N64 , always has been, always will be. Played 15-20 times.

2) Halo 2 Xbox - I used to stay up for hours playing with my mates, nothing has really beaten the fun we had on them online games. We don't do it anymore, so i can't compare.

3 ) TES IV Oblivion - Boy this game has many flaws, but I have sunk so many hours into it it deserves to be up there.

4) Skies of Arcadia Legends GC - My favourite RPG ever, I never really enjoyed final fantasy games so can't compare with them, but this was just fantastic as an 11 year old sinking into.

5) Mario Kart Double Dash - For the fun times in Uni. So many fun times.

6) Burnout 3 - I played this a lot. I was in the top 100 on xbox live at one point. Best arcade racer there has ever been.

7) Resident Evil 4 - replayed once a year still. Always so much fun. Played 10-15 times.

8) Metroid Prime GC - It's pretty darn good isn't it, I absolutely loved it the few play throughs I did, shame the sequels were poo.

9) Pokemon Gold/Silver - I had 2 games on my Gameboy, it was this and Blu. it was all I needed.

10) Goldeneye - Because I enjoyed sticking mines on Natalyas face.

in no particular order

- GTA San Andreas (PS2)
god knows how many hours just mucking about with modding cars, exploring etc. the storyline was actually interesting and Samuel L Jackson's villain is great fun.
- Doom/Doom II/Final Doom (& extra modded stuff - i dont actually like the base game's maps that much) (PC) the base game mechanics are so addictive and there's literally more good community content than you could ever hope to actually play through!
- Dark Souls (PC) multiple multiple characters in NG+++++ etc., masterpiece.
- Fallout New Vegas (PC) multiple different playthroughs with different character playstyles, fantastic modding scene.
- Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PS2) imo the most true-to-life while still being enjoyable football sim ever made - i must have about 200 years of master league racked up :shifty:
- Ico (PS2) beautiful game, engaging story with so little actual dialogue. puzzle gameplay is just simple enough for my simple noggin to process and enjoy.
- Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) slight shift to a more epic narrative, still retains the beauty of its prequel/predecessor, great gameplay and mechanics and i never found the controls a pain as i know others have.
- Dragon Quest VIII (PS2) i had no idea about Dragon Quest series until i picked this up randomly and its just perfect - a JRPG that doesnt take itself too seriously, but manages to have interesting characters, fantastic soundtrack and great mechanics. if you dont like the usual jrpg suspects (FF etc.) try this out.
- The Walking Dead (PC) made me cry like a baby - incredible game.
- Half Life 2 (PC) the actual mechanics of this game were groundbreaking and incredible at the time, and the core game still holds up (imo). ive played this through multiple times and its still great fun. hoverboat section still stands out as an FPS highlight after +10 years

just missed the cut

- The Sims 2 (PC) put so much time into tinkering with this, making different families and worlds. only left out due to its expansion content being ridiculously expensive and spread out so could never be bothered to pirate-download and install it all
- Quake 3 Arena (PC) was slightly too young to appreciate this before i moved on to other competitive fps's, but this grabbed my attention when it was first released.
- Streets of Rage 2 (Megadrive) i still load this up from time to time to run through with Max. huge fun in 2P mode as you can hit each other by accident :lol:
- GTA Vice City (PS2)
same reasons as SA, let down by slightly less to do in the world.
- GTA V (360) same reasons as SA, let down by slightly empty world. along with SA has the most engaging storyline imo.
- GTA IV (360) fantastic game but never really got into it - didnt really like the 3 player mechanic.
- Fallout 3 (PC) just loses out to NV for having a slightly less engaging world, still a wonderful game.
- Sonic 2 (Megadrive) just as fun to play as Streets of Rage again
- Skyrim (PC) loses out (just) to NV as the fantasty combat/setting is slightly less engaging than the post-apoc/guns
- Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2) ive never liked the controls of MGS games, but this gets into my list for the beautiful range of environmental settings, and the cool throwback storyline (never liked the futuristic nonsense from the other games in the series). plus Big Boss as a protagonist is interesting and the final scenes are genuinely emotional.

Only just couldn't find a space for Dragon Warrior Monsters, Pikmin 2, Poker Night 2 and Super Smash Bros. Melee.

I'd like to think the Big Switch Three of Mario, Mario Kart and Zelda would make the list, once I've played them.

In no particular order:

- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)
- Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004)
- TimeSplitters 2 (2002)
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015)
- Deus Ex (2000)
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004)
- Mass Effect (2007)
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007)
- Fallout: New Vegas (2010)
- Bloodborne (2015)

Honourable mentions:

- Freedom Fighters (2003)
- Vanquish (2010)
- Silent Hill 2 (2001)
- Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 (2008)
- Streets of Rage (1991)
- Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number (2015)
- Lost Odyssey (2007)
- Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War (2006)
- Hitman: Blood Money (2006)
- DOOM (2016)

That was tough. There's still plenty of games I could add and depending on the day, some of the honourable mentions could potentially be bumped up. Making lists like this is always a reminder of how many revered games I need to go back and try as well.
