What the hell let's do it, ten to one to make it hard on myself, so this is subject to change somewhat or entirely. I hope you enjoy my selections and remember its my opinion not yours and based more on gaming experience and memorys rather than the quality of the games themselves. I have only included games that I have played enough of the qualify as a complete gaming experience. I have played several hours of Bioshock and rather enjoy it, but do not count it as I have not played enough of it. Next year I will do a revised version of this list and hopefully it will be less nostalgia based and more based on the quality of the games themselves.
10. Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings
Okay I'll admit, this is a last minute throw in option. But really I didn't want to put a nostalgic title that's probably crap now and I also have played this game on and off (on and off meaning like 2-3 year gaps) for a very long time and it is very very fun. Not a huge fan of strategie games or it could be I haven't played many but I enjoy its simplicity and epic battles. The 200 population cap can suck a dick though
9. Red Dead Redemption
I love westerns. I love Rockstar. This game is an awesome game that let you dwell in an awesome world. The story was very good for a change too, usually video game stories; to put it lightly, are horrendously terrible, sorry. But I liked this one a lot and often times I'd be eagerly awaiting a cut scene. John Marsden could be in my top 10 game protagonists as a mature and adult character creation.
8. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
This one is pure nostalgia as I fucking loved this game as a kid. Yeah the tone and such was much too emo and over the top but the atmosphere of the temple and the insanely fun gameplay made me fall in love with it. It's been a long time since I've played it and pray it holds up. Also I really need to buy and play Sands of Time as I sadly never owned that one. I probably missed out there, screw it! Warrior Within is awesome
7. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
My introduction to the world of the Elder Scrolls and is was definately a toss up between this and Skyrim but Skyrim even with its advanced combat and improved spell crafting doesn't quite seem to match up to the creativity and originality of the fourth entry in the series. Hate fetch quests I'm sorry, send me in another cave and I'll put on another game, I swear it.
6. Grand Theft Auto Series
I know I'm technically cheating and if at gunpoint I'll say San Andreas cause of teenage memories with the thing but 4 is probably the best, though Vice City has an awesome soundtrack and hilarious missions. You see my conundrum. But I play every GTA for the same reason, to kill innocent civilians and have myself a fun time. And GTA games are soooo much fun
5. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Last nostalgia entry, but still an awesome game. I'm playing one for the first time so standby if that changes the order in the next year. I loved this game so much and how epic it was, how amazing the boss battles were, the world, the action, the bad translations, the stealth, it was an amazing experience of a very good series of games in which I've enjoyed all of, just the solids, not much for spinoffs I'm afraid.
4. Half-Life 2
Half Life 2 is a fantastic sequel to an amazing game. It is hard to describe my feelings towards this game, I find it an extremely immersive experience and some of the best sound design ever. The characters and story give the feeling that you in far more than just a shooter
3. Shadow of the Colossus
2. Fallout 3
I love the 50s style in this game, love roaming the apocalypse collecting bottle caps and killing people as a superman black cowboy of the wastelands. And have been on and off this game since it came out. love the bloody thing!
1. Half-Life
HALF-LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have so much fun whenever I play this motherfucker, such a good game. I like that you never have any idea what you're gonna be doing next, and some of the best fun has ever been had. A crowbar at a time
0. TETRIS
Because nothing is as great, not even breathing to the glory that is tetris
Well this has been fun,
GUMPTYR
