Since we have a thread talking about consoles and Pokemon specifically and we have new members, I thought it was time to remake this thread.
What are yours favorite games, and why? Top 10 lists, top 5, top 3. Do whatever you want.
Here is a very tentative top 10 list from me which would probably change depending on the day of the week I did it on, lol.
I DO have a favorite game and it's on this list, and it will never leave this list, but I won't say which is it
In no order
Sonic Adventure - The first 3D sonic game and my personal favorite. Yeah the 2D games were better made but this one has a very large nostalgia factor for me. I played this a LOT growing up,
(This and Sonic and Knuckles. Sonic CD was fun too but not as high calibur)
Devil May Cry 3 - The "prequel" to the DMC series. The hack and slash style was fun, and the music was amazing. The over-all atmosphere is what made this game good.
Drakengard - Even with very few cutscenes, this game was able to tell an amazing story, and had about 7 different endings. All of them sadder than the previous one. I beat this game who knows how many times. Gameplay is a bit boring but I'm a sucker for a good story.
FF7 - Overrated it may be, but it was my first Final Fantasy and still my favorite (FF6 close behind). The setting of Midgar was perfect. It had a great cast of characters and even if you don't like Cloud as a main character the whole plot device with having an internal conflict was executed well. The music is top notch and the battles are fast paced and fun. Sephiroth isn't the best villain ever, but by the end of the game you'll feel good once you kick his a**.
Kingdom Hearts 1 - Only because I'm a huge Disney and Square Enix fan. So even though the idea of putting them two together was quite weird for a kid my age it was perfect. The story wasn't the best but the characters and their development were key in this game. Even with it's basic hack and slash gameplay, the constant change of scenery and enemies kept the game fresh until the end.
Halo 2 - Kill me for putting this on my list. I have this on here strictly for the Multiplayer. The endless hours I played this game wasn't even funny.
SSBM - The best of the Smash brothers games. Who doesn't love this? Purely on this list for the hours I've logged into it.
Pokemon Crystal - The best pokemon game by far in my opinion.
Bioshock - This game isn't for everyone, but the atmosphere of the underwater city was just amazing. The ending sucked but the gameplay and the over-all feel I had throughout the game was great.
Demons Souls - Easily the newest game on the list. Infact it didn't even come out a month ago, but I can already tell this'll be in my favorites list for awhile. This game is just pure awesome. People are saying this alone is reason enough to buy a PS3. Take that for what you will but it's pretty innovative and just fun. Not to mention HARD. If you have a PS3 there should be no reason to not get this game. Easily the best PS3 game besides maybe MGS4.
Special mentions:
Front Mission 3 - A Tactical Giant mech game. New game just got announced! Though the formula is being changed to an action game... boo!
Zone of the Enders 2 - Fast paced giant robot game from the creator of Metal Gear Solid. A Sequel was just recently announced!
Sonic 3 and Knuckles - Many argue this is the best sonic game.
Tenchu - Fun tactical Ninja game. You have to sneak away and do silent killings with a bunch of unique weapons. It's great
Everquest - best MMO ever in my opinion. WOW is much to casual for me. This was for all of the hardcore gamers, and it was one of the first and EASILY the best for when it came out.
Yeah my list has a few stereotypical games, but it's not like I played them because they were popular, and being popular doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. I'm sure there are also a few games on the list that few or none of you have ever heard of.
