Your top 10 best game ever

[Xerxes]

Hello, im kind of bored today and the forums are pretty lame today too
So i decided to make my top 10 best game ever... And im wondering what my fellow Bioshock friends have to say about their top 10...

-Drums-

1- System Shock 2 ( no suprise)
2- Deus Ex
3- Freespace 2 (anyone played this game?)
4- Zelda: a link to the past
5- Grim Fandango (still waiting for a sequel)
6- Starcraft
7- Star wars: Knight of the old republic (can't wait for Mass Effect)
8- Halo ( kind of overrated but had a huge "wow" factor when you made the jump from the N64 to the Xbox )
9- Fable
10- Warcraft 2

I might think of more games i forgot in this compilation

In no particular order:

Fallout
System Shock 2
Fallout 2
System Shock
Planescape Torment
Deus Ex
Total Annihilation
Red Orchestra
Raven Shield
Operation Flashpoint

I don't concern myself with categorizing favorite games, but I can give a list of 10 that come to mind:

- Half-Life 2
- Deus Ex
- Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
- System Shock 2
- Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic
- Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
- Undying
- Thief: The Dark Project Gold
- No One Lives Forever
- Titan Quest w/ Immortal Throne exp

I've tried to do this before, but the trouble is, I just can't narrow down the list to only 10. I'd struggle at even 20. And besides, a Top 10 is subjective to time. Next year there'll be another 10 you'll want to add to your list.

I guess the obvious ones are probably:

System Shock 1 & 2
Deus Ex 1 (note the sore lack of a 2...)
Terra Nova (who here remembers that?)
Metroid Prime 1 (again, not 2... though I could easily include most of the 2D ones also)
Any Zelda game since the SNES
Final Fantasy Tactics (both PSX and GBA versions)
Any Europian-released Fire Emblem (I think there's only 2 so far)
Morrowind & Oblivion
Super Mario 64

etc....

There's at least 15 games there and I could easily carry on. Especially if I included Drinking Games like Soul Caliber 3, Gran Tourismo 4, Mario Tennis, Wii Sports...

You get the idea.

i'm sure i forgot some major games, but here's a list without order:

Mafia
Half-Life series
Max Payne 1 + 2
Duke Nukem 3D
Wolfenstein 3D
Commander Keen series
Arcanum
Baldur's Gate series (and every other D&D games... i play D&D pen&paper too=)
Sam & Max
Star Wars games (Phantom Menace, Podracer, Jedi Kinght, X-Wing...)
and tons of DOS-games (especially made/published by Apogee)

...and many other cool games out there

Breakdown (immersive to the max)
Grandia (epic tale, best characters ever for an rpg)
Lunar: Silver star story complete (Loved the pacing, also good characters)
Halo (great mechanics, love Master Chief)
Half-Life 2 (Good all around everything)
Kameo: Elements of Power (Like stepping into a storybook tale)
Super Mario World (just fun)
Final Fantasy 7
Okami (my god the art, controls great)
Swat 4 (multiplayer is brilliant)

This is just off the top of my head and what I've played the most over my lifetime.

I agree... I did forget about Mafia! but i would be at the bottom of the list because of the damn race level!

[Hatesink]

Ten just isn't enough

This is basically my entire permanent collection (in no particular order)...

Wind Waker

Freedom Fighters

Mafia

Resident Evil 4

Riven

Myst (Real Myst (3D Myst))

Exile

Star Wars: Pit Droids

Dark Corners of the Earth

Startopia

NFS: Porsche Unleashed (requires a wheel to really appreciate it).

Mercedes Benz World Racing (really needs a wheel to be appreciated)

Hitman: Codename 47

Hitman: Contracts

Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

Thief: The Metal Age

System Shock 2

Zork: Grand Inquisitor

Grim Fandango

The Neverhood

Skull Monkeys (platformer and Neverhood 'sequel')

Fable

Phantom Crash

Moto GP (generally the latest incarnation)

Grand Prix Legends (old school racing sim— cars simulated right down to the centrifugal forces created by the drive shaft (not for the neophyte)).

Lotus Challenge (Xbox version) (clunky missions mode and appalling A.I. but way underrated)

SWAT4 (but it might get bumped if a better tactical shooter comes along)

Ape Escape

Deadly Shadows (for the nostalgia, not the gameplay )

The Metal Gear Solid VR Missions Disc

Azrael's Tear

Alien Vs Predator 2 (which I basically keep around for the Island of the Dead player mod)

Forza Motorsport

Vietcong (don't play this if you have high blood pressure. This game will make you hate its developers. Some really intense gameplay and quite a few horrendously frustrating levels.)

I'm still yet to play Psychonauts, Ape Escape 2, Bully, Ico, Twilight Princess, Escape from Monkey Island, Hitman: Bloodmoney and Vampire Masquerade, but there's a good chance they'll be added too.

I think I'll probably have to take another look at Undying also.
