10 games you MUST play before you die

[pulse2]

Lets say you have a limited time left on this Earth before you become a ghost and can no longer play games

- Forget going outside and seeing places you've never seen before, makes no sense once your dead anyway.
- Forget getting laid, the last thing you want is your last time to be your worst time, or to break down crying in the middle of it.
- Forget eating the greatest food, driving the fastest cars etc etc

All you need to do is pick out 10 games that you think EVERY gamer MUST play and experience before they die, which games are they?

(I'd also like to give these games a go)

GTA 4 ten times.

Seriously though (although rather reflecting my ten favourite games as opposed to the "most important/influential" or the ten games which offer the broadest understading of gaming):

1. GTA IV
2. Vice City
3. COD 4
4. Tetris (Gameboy version)
5. Mario Kart (SNES)
6. Manhunt
7. Fallout 3
8. Resident Evil 2
9. Tekken 3
10. Super Mario Land
