i grew up playing Mario and Mega Man on SNES, but since i was so young, the newer games are more memorable.

 

[Skrying]

1.) Super Mario World
2.) Mario 64
3.) Super Mario Bros. 3
4.) Half-Life
5.) Soldier or Fortune II, multiplayer only
6.) Command & Conquer: Red Alert
7.) Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos
8.) Diablo II
9.) World of Warcraft
10.) Counter Strike/Counter Strike: Source

Based on "life suckers" more than anything. These are the games I've put in so many hours that it's not funny. Five of those games have over 500 hours in, two of those five have over 1000 hours. I tend to stick with a game and play the living crap out of it. Especially multiplayer, good multiplayer makes a game a lot of the times. SOFII for instance has some of the best FPS multiplayer ever. Sorry, only a few of those are from console. Its just, the truly great games for me as a player did not really start occurring till I got online. Though Mario games will always have a place in my heart, always.

ESWAT?!?!?

Dude, I had a Genesis and I played ESWAT. It was fun and all, but top 10? :|

 

["Nerve-Damage"]

ESWAT?!?!?

Dude, I had a Genesis and I played ESWAT. It was fun and all, but top 10? :|

I was so addicted to that game when I was young; that one Sunday morning I taken the game manual and clip game reviews to Church…between a Bible. While others were praying & reading hymns, I was plotting…

 

[Hector]

Flashback and Final Fantasy VII. God of war too. Hum, and The Story of Thor. The rest of the list is always moving.

 

[Daozang]

In no particular order:

Consoles

Metal Gear : Solid. (more like series but 10 choises is limiting...)
Final Fantasy VII
God Of War
Resident Evil
Silent Hill 2
Devil May Cry
Chronicles of Riddick
Halo Combat Evolved
Star Wars Knights of the old Republic 2
Tomb Raider (yup! the first one)

PC

[Phil]

My favorite best of all time (in no specific order):

• Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Konami)
• Metal Gear Solid 2 (Konami)
• Metal Gear Solid (Konami)
• Zone of the Enders 2 (Konami)
• Final Fantasy VII (Squaresoft)
• Final Fantasy IX (Squaresoft)
• Jak & Daxter (Naughty Dog)
• Tomb Raider (Eidos Interactive)
• Resident Evil: Directors Cut (Capcom)
• Gran Turismo 4 (Polyphony Digital)

If I had to limit by list down to 1 game, it would be undoubtedly MGS3. Simply epic.

 

[.Melchiah.]

In order:
Silent Hill 2
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Resistance: Fall of Man
Shadow of Memories
Resident Evil 2
Final Fantasy VIII
Tomb Raider II
Unreal Tournament 2003
Warcraft III
SSX


That's a lot of 2nd entries to the series there. Come to think of it, games often reach their peak with the first sequel. By then the flaws of the original are corrected and the potential is fully realized. Depressingly often they only go down from there. IMO, this applies to many bands as well.


Honorable mentions to the old games I grew up with:
Stunt Car Racer (Amiga 500)
Barbarian II (Amiga 500)
Altered Beasts (Amiga 500/Sega Megadrive)
Shadow of the Beast (Amiga 500)
Double Dragon II (Amiga 500)
Battle Squadron (Amiga 500)
Xenon 2: Megablast (Amiga 500)
Racing Destruction Set (Commodore 64)
Bruce Lee (Commodore 64)
Yie ar Kung-fu (Commodore 64)



EDIT: Inserted Resistance to top 10 list, and removed Doom 3 from there.
