Top 5/10 best games you have ever played

[I.Muir]

The year seven showdown got me thinking what are the best games I have ever played even from way back when
So what are yours?

These are mine
1:Banjo Kazooie
2sycho naughts
3okemon gold
4:Skyrim
5:Spyro
6:Half Life
7:Cod 4
8:Halo
9:Majoras Mask
10:NWN Diamond
Possibly even in that order, Greatest to still pretty awesome and addictive
It's hard to narrow it down to just ten

Edit*
Taking this thread in another direction feel free to list 5 to 10 of the worst gaming experiences you have had or just keep on listing the good feels, it's up to you

 

[Scarim Coral]

Not in any order-

Xenoblade Chronicle
Guild Wars
Pokemon Red
Fire Emblem Blazing Sword
Golden Sun
No More Heroes
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Unreal Tournament
Super Mario Land
C&C Red Alert

I was really thinking more of the games I've played so long/ alot since I enjoyed that game so much.

 

[I.Muir]

If that was the case oblivion would still be in there for me
Cod 4 would come in number one just because of how much multiplayer I used to play in that game

 

[prophecy2514]

Listing my favourite 10 games, which would qualify as my best in terms of the amount of enjoyment I got out of them at the time. In no particular order.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Deus Ex
Donkey Kong Country
Metal gear solid 3: snake eater
Mass effect 2
Devil May Cry 3
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Pokemon Gold/Silver
Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask

[Sp3ratus]

Well, it'll really be a list of my favourite games of all time, so here goes:
1: Half-life 2(plus episodes)
2: Planescape: Torment
3: Demon's Souls/Dark Souls
4: Mass Effect 3(the series as a whole, if that counts)

From here on, the list gets a little muddled and things shift around from time to time, so the remaining list is in no particular order:

Killzone 3(and 2, for that matter)
BG series
DA series
Morrowind
BF1942
Batman AA/AC

 

[purplecactus]

Heh, some of these games are ones I haven't played in a long time, but they got me into gaming. So in no particular order, I give you my top five, because expanding it to ten opens up a whole complicated world of choices:

Final Doom
Super Mario Land
Spyro
Portal
Morrowind

Final Fantasy 9

I'm not even going to try to put these in order and if you asked me the same question on a different day I'll probably end up changing my mind on a few. I'll try and limit it to one game in a series too otherwise half of the list will be from the same series. Also while I'm basing these choices on the singleplayer components that's not to say that the multiplayer was bad for them, just that the singleplayer part is a more permanent and reliable experience.

Final Fantasy VI - I love all of the first 10 in the series, but this one's hard to top.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Doubles as the first game(games?) I ever finished. Unforgettable soundtrack. Nice level design with multiple routes to take and a much welcomed save feature.

Portal 2 - Great humour and atmosphere. Hints of backstory here and there in typical Valve fashion.

Devil May Cry 3 - The definition of kickass. Great soundtrack that fits the game and flashy combat that hits you harder than a glove full of concrete.

Fallout: New Vegas - Freedom, guns and a whole wide wasteland of people to trick, steal from and murder with dear old Mr. New Vegas accompanying it with the sweet sounds of the Mojave.

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - W40K RTS perfection. Great music, especially the Guard's themes, visceral hand to hand combat and highly mod friendly.

Call of Duty (1) - Red Square. Need I say more? Again great music, particularly the Soviet theme and the main menu / credits. Blew me away at the time.

GTA: San Andreas - I liked Vice City's style and music more, but this was huge. Planes to jack, a jetpack and miles of free-roaming to do.

Warcraft 3 & TFT - Great story to these. A shame that the soundtrack isn't that of Warcraft 2 but the unit variety and item mechanics make up for it.

Tomb Raider 2 - Whilst I did prefer the Egyptian and Greek ruins of the first, fourth and fifth games I just have good memories of 2. It was when they'd gotten a bit more complex but hadn't yet become devious in their attempts to horribly murder Ms. Croft.

 

[jebara]

1.Persona 4
2.Portal 2
3.Ghost Trick
4.Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas
5.Metal Gear Solid 3:Snake Eater
6.Persona 3
7.Portal
8.Devil May Cry 3
9.Super Mario Galaxy
10.The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I feel my love for MGS and GTA are fading away though,they used to be at the top of my list but over time I feel like other games are more worthy of the top spot.

 

[havoc33]

Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario World
Final Fantasy VII
Metroid Prime
Silent Hill 2
Resident Evil
Wipeout
Mario 64
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Shenmue

I see I'm not the only one whos top 10 is missing current gen titles?

 

[Nazulu]

Best experiences I've had, that's a hard one.

5. C&C Generals (good game by itself, 10 times better when you own over 1000 maps, 20 hour extended single player and I had about 18 mods to make the game more interesting)
4. Super Smash Brothers Melee (8 year addiction)
3. Lineage 2 (the first couple of years when there were no rules, it was flipping mental, WoW never came close)
2. Half-Life 2 (it's either this or MP)
1. Metroid Prime (Nintendo's Masterpiece)

 

[Casual Shinji]

In random order:

Resident Evil 4
Half-Life 2
Okami
Shadow of the Colossus
Ratchet and Clank 3
God of War
Metal Gear Solid 3
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Silent Hill 2

I thought of including Journey, but I feel that game might still be a bit too fresh to be considered "best of" yet.

 

[I.Muir]

Listing my favourite 10 games, which would qualify as my best in terms of the amount of enjoyment I got out of them at the time. In no particular order.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Deus Ex
Donkey Kong Country
Metal gear solid 3: snake eater
Mass effect 2
Devil May Cry 3
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Pokemon Gold/Silver
Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask
Super Mario Land

Honourable mentions:
Metal Gear Solid 1
Metal Gear Solid 4
Splinter Cell
God of War
Skyrim
... and unirally

Using honorable mentions to go past 10 is smart
It's hard to get all the good game experiences in there

It seems you have good taste and so do many other of the people here
but what people really look for are the people who have odd choices in games
for example I never liked resident evil 4
I also have had next to no experience with games released on the play station over the years

If I had to add a few more I had fun with id add
Warcraft 3
No More heroes
Braid - Well a good kind of challenge not so fun
Saints row 2
Just Cause 2
Secret of monkey island
Mass Effect
Black and White
Limbo
Bastion
Arkham Asylum
Bioshock
Metro 2033
S.T.A.L.K.E.R SOC
Magicka
and that's 25 now

Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy VII
Odin Sphere
Okami
Final Fantasy Tactics
Silent Hill 2
Shadow of the Colossus
Planescape: Torment
God of War
Max Payne

Yet I still have lots of potential Top10 games to play/beat...
