Your Top 5 Favorite Games of ALL TIME

[Garg]

Can't really put them in order.

1. Starcraft - PC
2. Half Life - PC
3. Super Mario 64 - N64
4. KotoR - PC
5. Pokemon G/S - GBC

Starcraft - PC
-The campaign was amazing.
-Battlenet was unique (and still more or less is)
-The custom maps added replayability.
-I will never forget the zerg.

Half Life (1&2) - PC
-This is what got me into the FPS genre.
-Gordon Freeman
-Two words, Gravity Gun (Granted, this is only the second one.)

Super Mario 64 - N64
-This is probably the perfect 3d platformer.
-I should probably add that Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 were also good.

Knights of the Old Republic - PC
-This was my first Bioware game, and might have been less amazing if I had played Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights beforehand.
-I love Star Wars.
-HK-47

Bioshock - PC
-It isn't a space marine/ww2/middle east fps.
-Plasmids
-The almost-steam-punk theme.

Pokemon Gold and Silver - Gameboy Colour
-It was the R/B/Y series with more content and less bugs.
-It made grinding inexplicably fun.

Games that almost made it, but I hit five.
-Portal (PC)
-Pikmin/Pikmin 2 (Game Cube)
-Fallout 3 (PC)
-Age of Empires 2 (PC)
-Warcraft 3 (PC)
-Diablo 2 (PC)
-Spore (PC)
-Sins of a Solar Empire (PC)
-Super Smash Brothers/SSBMelee/SSBBrawl (N64/GC/Wii)
-Gauntlet Dark Legacy (PS2)
-Kingdom Hearts/KH2 (PS2)
-Final Fantasy VII (PS2)
-Mario Kart 64 (N64)
-Legend of Zelda-OoT/MM/TP (N64/Wii)

[balimuzz]

1. The Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past
2. Portal
3. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
4. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
5. Crackdown

 

[MikeSpagnolo]

Super Punch Out
Final Fantasy X
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Diablo II

Like other people posting here there is no particular order to this list.
Honourable mentions are Kingdom Hearts 2, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mario RPG. Nothing from this generation of consoles cracks the top five of all time so far, although I loved Mass Effect and Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

 

[Britisheagle]

1. Gears of War (360)
2. Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube )
3. Dawn of War (PC)
4. Doom 3 (Xbox)
5. TF 2 (PC)

Hard narrowing it down to 5. Timesplitters Future Perfect, Star Wars BF 2, Bioshock and Saints Row were all close contenders.
Isnt it curious how most of these are sequels?

 

[Daveman]

Oblivion (PC)
Legend of Zelda: twilight princess (wii)
TF2 (PC)
Dawn of War (PC)
Timesplitters: future perfect (PS2)

 

[Lovelocke]

In no particular order, the first 5 games that pop into my head:

1. Final Fantasy 6
2. Earthbound (Mother 2)
3. Doom
4. Super Mario World
5. Diablo II

Other notables that jumped right in afterward (but again, could be more/less of a favorite): Another World, Flashback, any number of Zelda titles, Smash Brothers Melee, Mario Kart, Super Metroid, Street Fighter II, King of the Fighters, Revolution X, Time Crisis 4, Postal 2, Unreal Tournament, World of Warcraft (though I wouldn't play it again, it did give good memories), Mega Man, Metal Slug, May Club, Animal Crossing... tons more.

 

[steeple]

5. portal
4. battle realms
3. diablo 2
2. heroes 3
1. black & white (the first only... the second one was the meaning of disappointment for me)

they may not be the best, but they are my favorite and i have my reason for each

 

[ronald1840]

1. Final Fantasy 9

2. Kingdom Hearts 1

3. Super Smash Bros Brawl

4. Red Dead Redemption

5. Uncharted 2

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

In no particular order...

Deus Ex
System Shock 2
Fallout series (love 'em all equally... except for that one for PS2/XBox...)
Jagged Alliance 2 (especially with the 1.13 patch)

[scorptatious]

Holy crap this is going to be a hard list to make...

1. Shadow of the Colossus
2. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
3. Spyro the Dragon
4. Final Fantasy IX
5. Banjo Kazooie

There are so many honorable mentions that I don't think I can list them all. They include TLOZ: Ocarina of Time, Valkyria Chronicles, MGS3, and loads of others.

 

[Gocho]

Like many not sure the order I would put them in.

1. Tie fighter
2. Diablo 2
3. Civ 3
4. FFVI
5. FF tactics 1/2

 

[BigTortoise]

Such a hard thing to decide:

1. LoZ: Majora's Mask (N64)
2. Killer Instinct (SNES)
3. Half-Life (PC)
4. And Yet It Moves (Indie PC)
5. Left 4 Dead (PC)

 

[Ldude893]

They're all either Valve games or Batman: Arkham Asylum.

 

[Gunhappy]

1. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
2. Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
4. Mega Man 2 (NES)
5. Metroid Prime (NGC)

 

[ERROR989]

1. LOZ: Majora's Mask (N64)
2. Blast Corps (N64)
3. Minecraft (PC)
4. Metal Gear Solid (PS1)
5. Goldeneye 007 (Wii)

 

[Evaheist666]

1) Grim Fandango
2) Silent Hill 2
3) Mortal Kombat 3
4) Manhunt
5) Gears Of War

 

[mtk2a]

1. Baldur's Gate II
2. Mega Man X
3. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
4. Final Fantasy VII
5. EverQuest

This is tough to list only 5. I will resist the temptation to include a ridiculous list of honorable mentions. I will say that many newer games might be up there but are yet-to-be decided in the "all time favorite" rankings because they need to sink in and stand the test of time, like these 5 have.

2 Super Smash Bros. (Melee) N64/Gamecube
3 Worms Armaggedon
4 Rome Total War / Third Age Total War (mod of medieval total war 2) PC
