Top 100 games every gamers must play.

Top 100 games every gamers must play.

Okay guys, basically just post five games to ten games max you think everyone who considers themselves a gamer should play. Don't mention a franchise, series, etc. Just a solo game. After it's over, I'll tally the votes and list all games voted, though I doubt there'll be a hundred. There'll be two lists, one for solo games and one for series. I hope this goes well. Though I rather want a lot of votes for each game rather than spam votes. Like voting Big Rigs.

Here are my votes!

• Mass Effect 2
  Portal
  Half-Life
  Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
  Baldur's Gate

I'll let the thread go on until it dies, which hopefully not too soon.

 

[Pandalisk]

Halo:CE
Men of War
Dawn of War + (Winter assault was Godly)
Deadspace
Red Orchestra

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

X-COM
Starcraft
Bioshock
Megaman
Alpha Centauri

This is really hard. I don't think you're going to get 100 games by telling everyone to list their top 5-10. Because most people will have very similar 5-10 that everyone should play, you know? It seems like there should be a better way of going about this, maybe start with people's top 5-10, and then once those are established, say in a new thread to pick 5 more that are not the 5-10 already listed, and keep going?

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario World
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Metal Gear Solid

Wow, that was hard. I guess I'm trying to pick the most influential and seminal but also most fun games? I'm curious to see where this goes. (I am also well aware that my list is not very good, but I wanted to give as much balance as I could.)

I did. It was on Monday, we have 22 pages of results and I'm tallying them tomorrow.

All 5 of those games you listed are part of series or franchises. I'm sure this was already pointed out...ok, maybe not but somebody will likely ninja me in pointing that out. Anyway, on to my five:

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
Dragon Age Origins
Knights of the Old Republic
Tetris
Grand Theft Auto 3

 

[Brotherofwill]

We have these threads so often. Just check the other one out, and post your top 5 there.

Actually we had these atleast 5 times within the last few weeks. Poor souls that have to count these votes.

 

[Spacelord]

Diablo 1 is one game I'd definitely like to nominate.

Okay, how about some old games:
- Jazz Jackrabbit
- Commander Keen
- Super Smash Bros.
- Mario Kart
- Carmageddon
- Duke Nukem 3D

The latter two if only for the big media upheaval they generated back in the day. Anyone remember how controversial those games were? Shit was crazy.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

Well, nobody put them, so here's what you HAVE to play along with what you all put, so they understand just how far we've come.

Donkey Kong
Pac-man
Dig-Dug
Centipede
Galaxian
Missile Command
Asteroids
Rogue

The only oldschool game I really saw you guys put was Tetris.
