Fallout 3

Final Fantasy X

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Minecraft

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

The Last Of Us

Portal 2

Dark Souls

Pokemon Snap

Mario Kart: Double Dash

 

These ten games have probably given me the greatest enjoyment, especially Fallout 3, Final Fantasy X, and Minecraft. I've logged hundreds of hours into each of those games.

MMMMM. If only there were 10. Hah.

 

The original Pong. Atari or whoever. I remember this in the mid 70's.

The original Breakout.

Atari Adventure on the 2600.

The racing game on Colecovision. (forgot the name)

Lunar Lander.

Pac Man.

Space Invaders.

Asteroids.

Battlezone.

Defender.

Crazy Climber.

FF to the 90's because I lost interest in the 80's.

Commander Keen (PC)

Wolfenstein 3D.

DooM/Doom2. Fracking DooM. My god.... I love that game. Exploring, level building. Hell, I even spent a year and a half rewriting the code from C to C++ when it went open source. My all time favorite game, based on gameplay and atmosphere... and the fact that I taught myself 2 programming languages when I rewrote it. Doom and 2 were the same exact game. The code comments at the time were funny, alluding to the fact that people (like me) bought the same game twice... with minimal work from the dev team.

Quake/2/3.

MDK. (never heard of this one???)

Unreal.

Sim City. SC2000.

Star Wars Dark Forces.

And I blanked out after 2001 or so.... got busy with work, etc. My daugther was born.

 

I'm looking forward to Doom 4.

 

I know you guys like Call of Duty and a bunch of other games. From my memories of my Quake and Unreal days, I wish I could be there with you.... sniping and killing the lot of you in game.... But I don't have the time anymore. I was a hell of a sniper. Almost never got found..because I didn't camp for too long.

 

That's where my name 'grep' comes from. My Quake days. I wanted a unique name that people would remember, one sylable, and it represented my IT background.

 

See you in DooM 4.... stay away from the corners and ledges, ;)

"And I blanked out after 2001 or so.... got busy with work, etc. My daugther was born." I was wondering why your list was so dated. Dont get me wrong those are some great games, but video games have come a loooong way since then.

Oh I know. I still visit the sites from time to time and watch the trailers, etc.

 

But don't discount my faves based on age. I remember when Pong and Pac man were new... and i bet that if you or anyone were to start playing, you'd lose hours of your time.

 

Games are better these days in terms of realistic graphics and better programmed AI. But damn, you'll still be overwhelmed by the simple march of a column of Space Invaders.

Space Invaders

Shinobi

Road Rash

Sonic

Mario

FIFA

Wolfenstein

Doom

Quake

NHL Hockey

Four of them I've played, or tried to, but with a lack of success.

Is Doom a movie based on a game?

Wolfenstein, which I've only just heard of, would be a good name for a band. Unless there already is one, and I haven't noticed.

Very very very hard to make a list like this, especially with so many games I like across all generations so I'll try to boil them down to which games have the most replayability that never get too old.

 

(In no order)

 

PC- Diablo 2

DS- Dragon Quest 9

X360- Dark Souls

X360- Borderlands 2

ARC- Ms. Pac Man

NES- Legacy of the Wizard

PS2- Disgea

SNES- Super Metroid

PS1- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

3DS- Etrian Odysey 2: Untold (already this one's on my list, it's so good)

 

But honestly I could easily make a top 30 list.

DOOM is one of the first FPS (first person shooters) I believe. Wolfenstein is kind of like it, only with Nazis I believe.

Yes, Doom is a movie based on a game. I preferred Quake.

 

An early megadrive title I loved was Zero Tolerance. Played it to death.

Just to ensure that my list is not all Zelda and Mario games, I will pick a franchise, and my favorite 1 or 2 from the franchise:

 

The Legend of Zelda (Zelda 1 and Ocarina of Time)

Super Mario Brothers (Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mario Galaxy)

Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic 1 and Sonic 3)

Super Mario Kart (Double Dash and DS)

Phantasy Star (I and IV)

 

I'll work on 6-10 later.

Tricky, I'm sure my list will have an error or two unless I work on it for ten minutes, which I won't. Been a gamer since I was about five, on my Playstation! #flashback.

 

1. Halo 3 (40,000 or so online kills?)

2. Halo 2 (Best campaign of all time?)

3. Spyro The Dragon

4. Rollercoaster Tycoon

5. The Sims

6. Ocarina Of Time

7. Call of Duty 4

8. Assassin's Creed

9. Super Mario 64

10. Gran Turismo 4

If I could bring myself to make a list, it would look similar to yours, minus Shenmue and Halo.

Tony R has posted in a game thread, so in the interests of balance I feel I need to post in here too. I've got nothing to say otherwise.

I've played a LOT of games in my time, and it would take a solid hour of deliberation to pick a top 10 and I'd still be dissatisfied. I'm just that kind of person, I suppose.

Or in general, for that matter.
