Your Top 5 Favorite games of all time

[SantoUno]

This may seem like a basic topic, but I haven't found any others like this that actually asked this.

This is kinda inspired from Game Informer's Reader Top 5 games, and even from Yahtzee's top 5 games.

Well it's difficult to pick only 5 games out of dozens that you have played throughout your entire life. So feel free to extend to 6 or 7 if you really feel you have to.

Mine aren't 100% decided yet, but they are my best picks at the moment:

1. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (XB)

2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

3. Resident Evil 2 (N64)

4. Halo series (XB, 360)

5. Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA)

EDIT - MY Honorable Mentions:

Silent Hill 2, Fable: The Lost Chapters, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye 64, Star Fox 64, Megaman BN Series, PROPER Yugioh GBA Series(Eternal Duelist Soul, Stairway to the Destined Duel, The Sacred Cards)

 

[WorldCritic]

Haven't there been a thousand of these?
Whatever.

1. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (XB)
2. Jet Set Radio Future (XB)
3. Metal Gear Solid (PS1)
4. Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
5. Devil May Cry 3 (PS2)

Honestly I searched the forums and none of them actually ask this exact question.

Besides it's been years and everyone's gaming preferences change so perhaps people may have new top 5 games.

Yay!!! um.

1: Jet Force Gemini (n64)
2: Shadow of the Colossus (ps2)
3: K.O.T.O.R. (xbox)
4: Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal (ps2)
5: Portal (pc/360)

why? for the top two... well... JFG was the first Ratchet and Clank game. hell the menus even make the same sound. and seriously, dog with jet thrusters on its feet as a main character? WIN.
And Shadow the the Colossus is one of few games thats pure art, and deserves recognition. The others are self evident.
