Goldeneye
Mario 64
LoZ: OoT
Twisted Metal 2
MarioKart 64
SF2
FF7
Gran Turismo
GTA: SA
Too many honorable mentions to name. Safe to say there are plenty, but I guaged my list on what I played the most in my lifetime. Ive spent literally a year+ (real time) of my life playing SoF2, SF2, Goldeneye, Gran Turismo and Twisted Metal 2.
Mega Man II (Really, the whole series for me...)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (honorable mention WaW)
Marvel vs. Capcom (Didn't see anyone pay homage to one of the best vs. games ever)
Ninja Gaiden (NES series...)
Mortal Kombat (1-3 could fit this designation)
Blaster Master (I loved this game for its symbolism)
Super Mario 3 (Played this until I got blisters...)
Chrono Trigger (Only RPG I really enjoyed...)
Red Dead Redemption (I'm a sucker for anything Western...)
God of War (1-3 are awesome)
No order, and off the top of my head.
Xenogears - Did for me what FF7 did for most RPG fans. Absolutely blew me away despite the non-linear monstrosity that was Disc 2.
Chrono Trigger - Was my Xenogears before Xenogears. The standard by which JRPGs have long since been measured, and rightly so.
Final Fantasy VI - To this day remains my favorite in the series. The villain winning, a great cast, and, of course, the Crowning Music Of Awesome known simply as Dancing Mad.
KOTOR - Contains what is probably my favorite plot twist/reveal in all of video gaming.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Fed vs Zeon/Gundam vs Zeta Gundam - The first had the near-infinite replayability of the Campaign mode (Gelgoogs at Odessa? No problem!), while the second had countless what-if storylines (Char joins the ans).
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection - For packing everything I loved about my first console into one disc. Shining Force 1 and 2, Phantasy Star I-IV, and Vectorman alone made it worth the purchase.
The Silver Surfer - For taking everything I thought I knew about difficulty, shattering my delusions, and rebuilding them in its own image.
MegaMan Battle Network 3 - For providing me with something to do while stuck in a hotel in Tennessee, and for being the greatest source of inspiration for my Battle Network fanfic project.
Final Fantasy Tactics - For giving Xenogears a run for its money in the Xanatos Gambit and Thirty Xanatos Pileup categories, while teaching me what it was to truly grind.
Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 - There are few things more satisfying in this world then co-op'ing this game with a fellow Gundam fanatic. One of those is a combo attack between Domon and Master Asia, and both players reciting, in unison, "Look! The East is burning red!"
You thought FFT had a lot of grinding in it?
There were one or two specific levels in each act that seemed to necessitate it. Dorter Trade City in Act I comes to mind. Also, the Wiegraf solo fight.
The Mechwarrior series
Civ series
Galactic Civilizations
NBA 2K series
Mario series
Goldeneye
X-wing vs Tie Fighter series
Elder Scrolls series
Final Fantasy series
The above are just the first ten that came to my head. There are many more, an no real way for me to make an actual top 10 list. It would have to be more like a top 35 list
OMG
I forgot Civilization 4.
BIG omission. Might have to knock off GTA;SA for that one.
These kind of lists are impossible to be completely satisfied. I'm just glad I was around for the evolution from Atari to what we have nowadays...
True that. Without looking at my previous post, I'm sure half my list would be different if I were to post it again.
