5. Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero

2. Half Life
1. Counter Strike Source
1) Final Fantasy VII My first RPG (JRPG too). This is where games stopped being just a toy/past-time to me, and made me love them with a passion. I've been playing this again recently and it's still brilliant for so many reasons.
The rest aren't in order.
2) Boulderdash It was the first video game I ever played on what I believe was a Commodore 64 that my dad picked up from a car-boot sale.
3) Sonic the Hedgehog The game that can came with the Megadrive which was our first new console.
4) Wolfenstein 3D The first game I played on PC and the first FPS I played. I went to my grandad's for the summer and instead of playing outside, I spent all the time on my uncle's PC shooting Nazis. He also had Doom which was great, but Wolfenstein was my jam.
5) Fallout 3 The game that got me back into gaming after I got bored with it.
6) Skyrim The game that keeps on giving.
7) Tetris So simple and still so addictive.
8) Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 Another one that kept me locked indoors during the summer despite the fact I had a real skateboard and could actually skate. I'm pretty sure I know the entire soundtrack off by heart.
9) Metal Gear Solid When I was prompted to look at the back of the game case to find the code, I just thought that was so cool. The rest of the game was great too.
10) Resident Evil 4 1 & 2 were great too, but this was my favourite. After this it all went downhill unfortunately.
I had to squeeze a few out (sorry Dark Souls & Braid), and I could easily add more but I'll leave it there.
I don't know if I can put them in a specific order
1. Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
2. Halo 3
3.Black Ops 2 ( I know you are shouting FAG but I had lots of good memories with friends on this)
4.Gears of War 2
5.Gears of War 3
6. Forza Motorsport 4
7. GTA San Andreas
8. Portal 2
9. GTA V
10.Halo Reach
1. Chrono Trigger (To me, the pinnacle of J/RPGs, great characters, multiple endings, great villains, if there is a perfect game for me then it is hard for me not to say this one.)
2. Final Fantasy VII (I love nearly everything about it, not just storywise, but how the systems worked was just great to me.)
3. Persona 4 (Preferably the Golden version, it added and reworked a few things that made it a bit better overall.)
4. Bravely Default (Anyone into JRPG's that has a 3DS should give this a look, it's brilliant.)
5. Breath of Fire (No frills, simplistic, but man I spent hours as a kid on the first game and loved every minute.)
6. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (I know what you're thinking, the character action game and not the Solid series? I do indeed like MGS, but for me a good character action/Platinum game is just to die for.)
7. Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition (Playing as Vergil was earth shattering to me at the time. I always thought he was so sick.)
8. Persona 3 (the only reason this is lower is because not being able to control all the party members drives me crazy, most everything else was fantastic though)
9. Super Mario World (This is the only Mario game I have ever liked and I can't explain why. I put so many hours into this as a kid, since it was 1 of only a couple SNES games we could afford for a long time.)
10. Oblivion/Skyrim (I'm cheating here but I can't help it. I use these 2 to represent my love for sandbox style games.)
Making a list of 10 was rather hard. I know I don't have what would seem to be an average pc gamer list but I did grow up on consoles. My tastes have expanded but as you can see I am, at heart, a big J/RPG fan.
1. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
I've never played a game that had me so immersed in the world and in the story of the characters. This is only enhanced by the control scheme that truly makes you feel as though you are the two brothers. It does all of this without a single word of any real language being spoken.
2. Portal
This was the first and only game I have ever considered perfect. The gameplay was unique and complex, the story is deep and rich, the world perfectly displays the themes of the game, the voice acting was sublime, the level design was unparalleled etc. etc. etc.
3. Shadow of the Colossus
This is the closest thing to perfect outside of Portal. I am a big critic of the tone of games, how sometimes there is a large disparity between the overall message of the game and the messages being displayed in certain aspects. This game stays true to it's source material, stays true to it's excellent writing and delivers the second most emotionally responsive game I've ever played behind Brothers.
4. Team Fortress 2
This is a bit outside of the box, but I have had more fun in this game than any other that I've ever played. I've played thousands of hours of this game between Xbox and PC (Yeah, someone actually enjoyed the console version). I could log on right now and find out something new about the game within the first five minutes. Whether that is playing a new game mode, a new map, or something else through the beauty that is the Steam Workshop. It is still better than any FPS I've ever played and will stay that way for a long long time.
5. Psychonauts
I adore everything about this game. Tim Schafer is better at designing characters than any other developer out there. The man is a genius. It is a hilarious game where each character has their time to shine. However, they do this without over saturating the game with characters that you begin to like and then they are gone. This is something I am eternally grateful for and will love Tim Schafer forever for.
6. Just Cause 2
Take everything I said about Team Fortress 2 and add a remarkable grappling hook to it. This is as fun as any game I've ever played and it falls behind numbers 4 and 5 in my list simply because I do not care for the story and the characters as much, which is weird because I am much more of a mechanically oriented gamer typically.
7. Pokemon Emerald
This is, in my opinion the best of the Pokemon games. Although I was an expert in the Pokemon scene before this game came along and didn't deviate from its predecessors I still found myself replaying this over and over again for years. I love all Pokemon games (save generation 5) but none of them captured me the way this one did. I have no real explanation for this, it just did.
8. Spiderman 2
This is undoubtedly the best movie tie in game that I've ever played. It stays true to it's source material whilst still having it's own creativity. It had the best and most fun way of travelling around in a game I've ever played with its web swinging. It's not as immersive as the other games I listed, but this is where my preference towards solid mechanics comes through.
9. Ocarina of Time
We've all played this, you know why it's here.
10. Sonic 3
This is a sentimental pick to me, it was the first game I ever played and it immediately got me hooked into gaming and I haven't turned back since. This is still the best Sonic game to this day other than fan made versions of the classic Sonics.
Also, this little hedgehog is far superior to that fat plumber guy in every way imaginable. Except Sonic 06, which we don't talk about.
