Geez - I don't even want to think about how many I left out.
I'm old, so I have to include the titles that made me the geek I am today.
In order, I have to say...
1. Unreal Tournament (so many clans, so many hours, so many accusations of cheating...)
2. Mortal Kombat 2 (so many classes cut to play in high school)
3. Mortal Kombat 3 (uh, more classes skipped)
4. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 (it's like intense training for every game there is... I always say true gamers play Tony, cause if you can compete at Tony, you can play any game on the market)
5. NHLPA 1992 and onward (sure, I'm Canadian, but regardless, it's the best sport game there is)
6. GTA San Andreas (3 straight months, it was the only game I played - nuff said)
7. StarCraft (I hate strat games, but SC is different I still wonder why this hasn't been remade?)
8. Madden
9. Gran Turismo
10. ... let's hope a title this year can fill this spot
its hard to do this kind of thing because most new games will allways beat old games hands down if they were both released now, however the amount of enjoyment you got back then may be just as much as you get from a technicaly better, newer game now. An example would be Grand theft auto 1, which at the time was amazing, but now is nothing when compared with san andreas. Therfore my list a just a mixture of games i like now, and games i used to like. in pretty much any order:
1 san andreas (dont play it anymore but think its possibly best game ever)
2 company of heroes
3 dawn of war
4 supreme commander (if and when it works smoothely)
5 Half life
6 Theif
7 Garry's mod (half life 2 mod)
8 Battlefield Vietnam
9 Farcry
10 Homeworld ( thanks for reminding me)
11 Eve online (had to sneak that in somewhere)
1. Crysis - im gonna love it anyways 2. Forza Motorsport.
3. Half Life 2.
4. Far Cry.
5. No One Lives Forever 2. (for some reason i thought it was a classic )
6. Gran Turismo 4.
7. Grand Theft Auto San Andreas.
8. Oblivion.
9. G.T.R 2.
10. Rainbow Six: Vegas.
1. Fallout 1/2 (just have to point out that Tactics sucked bigtime)
2. System Shock 2
3. Silent Hunter 3
4. GT Legends
5. Sudden Strike
6. Blitzkrieg
7. Total War series
8. Gothic series
9. World of Warcraft
10. Day of the Tentacles
Man, I hate these because someone is going to post something that I wish I posted.

Baldur's Gate II

Hmm...maybe The Dig and Full Throttle go in there somewhere, too. I guess that's cheating, though.
hmmm, challenging. I'll have to put in some classics I was obsessed with. I'll try to put them in order but it's really hard.
1. Warcraft 2 (I dedicated 95% of my free time for a year to this game)
2. Rainbow 6 (loved the tight knit clans and intense action, didnt like any in the series after it. So many memories of incredibly close matches)
3. Halflife 2 (and CS:S)
4. Diablo 2 (hard to put it this low on the list, but truly a favourite)
5. Final Fantasy VII (best storyline I ever played, ive never hated any vyllian as much as Sephiroth)
7. World of Warcraft (I love this game, but it does not have the intensity or obession for me that the other games did, at least not yet)
8. Warcraft 3 (never played nearly as many mods as any other game, but even the regular multiplayer is fantastic)
9. Starcraft (I did not even play this game very much, but it was a lot of fun)
10. BF2 (as much as I hate EA, I love the squad and commander based fighting and communication, excellent combat model)
1. FEAR
2. FEAR extraction point
3. Half- Life 2
4. Half life 2 ep. 1
5. c&c 3 (even though i suck!)
6. Indigo prophecy (loved the story)
7. super Smaho bros Melee (once again, even though i suck!)
8. Far Cry
9. Rainbow six vegas
10. S.T.A.L.K.E.R

ChronoTrigger - my second rpg which i now own with my SNES

Goldeneye - The first most awesome multi player game ever

NFS:MW

NFS:High Stakes
God of War
God of War 2
And the Socom series
Ok, I'm bored and have some free time so lets see what I can come up with for this.
I refuse to list these in any specific order since they are all what I consider to be the best in their respective genres.
Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War - I know, I loved Starcraft too, but I have to give credit where credit is due. WH40KDOW is just simply the best RTS ever in my seldomly humble opinion.
Master of Orion 2 - After much consideration I have to leave the crown with MOO2. Yes, Galciv II is a great game, but it is not as good or timeless as MOO2.
Fallout (1 and 2) - There is no contest here. There are some truly great PC RPGs out there, but the Fallouts were indisputably the best.
Deus Ex - The best story driven FPS out there. Why has this style of game never really caught on?
Elite 2 Frontier - I played this game so much that I had trade values in certain systems memorized. Immensely expansive and a ton of fun. No game in this genre has ever entranced me for nearly as long as this one.
Soul Calibur - The only fighting game franchise I ever loved. I have enjoyed several but this one .. I don't know if it is nostalgia or just awesome gameplay but this one is my favorite.
Sid Meyer's Alpha Centaurii - I have to admit Civ IV gave it a run for it's money, but I spent more time on SMAC than even 10 times any other game that was similar.
Chrono Trigger - Tough call between this, Xeno Gears, and FF6 but Chrono Trigger wins by a hair to take the console RPG crown.
Starsiege Tribes - The FPS that took competitive FPS gameplay out of crowded corridors and boxy rooms and into the wide open spaces of OUTSIDE! Jump jets, rolling hills, flying vehicles, and fast action kept me addicted to this one for years.
Diablo II - I hate to give DII a crown at all because it isn't as good as many second or third best games in other genres but I have to admit, it had the clickfest action game formula down to a fine science. I did play an awful lot of this game and still enjoy it from time to time.
TOP 10 of all time? Since I have started playing video games period? Here it goes. I am rating these based on the amount I have played them through my entire LIFE..
1 )Dragon Warrior (NES) - I wouldn't sell NES till I beat it. I don't want to know the HOURS I spent playing this... One word.. Edricks sword 2 )Final Fantasy 7 (Playstation) - I wouldn't sell PS till I beat this. Again.. HOURS.. DAYS... MONTHS.... YEARS... Racing those damn birds to get the gold one.
3 )DUNE (Genesis) - This was the RTS that started it all
4 )C&C Red Alert (Playstation & PC) - Hours of battling it out with my cousin. I never saw a PS lag so much. haha
5 )Moon Patrol (Commador 64) - DUDE!!!! I played this game so much as a young lad
6 )Shining Force 2 (Genesis) - I had sega channel and it was alway on there so I played till the end. It's like a crazy chess game during battles.[/b]
7 )Gran Turismo 1,3,&4 (PS & PS2) - Great 1 player game series, countless hours of racing
8 )Diablo 2 (PC) - Bringing back the college days... and flawless gems
9 )Total Annihilation (PC) - This replaced C&C Red Alert for me. Countless hours with my cousin playing
10 )FAR CRY (PC) - Just a GREAT multi player LAN game. We still play for hours at our LANs beause it runs on everyone's PC beautifully with a lowend graphics cards. The game play is just so great. If only Tim woudl stop hiding on islands sniping everyone off. That bastard.
BF2142 and Supcom have not made it there yet since My top 10 have FAR FAR FAR more hours put into them.
1. Doom & Doom2 (Doom 3 is also first... but from the bottom)
2. Quake(World)
3. Warcraft I, II, III
4. Starcraft

Transport Tycoon Deluxe, and TONS of ther games that the ZOMFG MY GF8800GTXSLIULTRAOC ROX! generation will never come to understand games that relied on concept and gameplay and not some uber graphics...
1) Starseige Tribes - Best FPS game ever. Period.

1. Rome : Total War (with expansions and mods) - the best RTS out there
2. Diablo 2 (with the expansion) - the best action RPG of all time
3. Need For Speed : Most Wanted - in my opinion it is the best one from the series
4. GTA : San Andreas - loved it for the vast world and awesome action
5. Deus Ex - the first FPS I have ever seen (not played though), loved the storyline
6. Blitzkrieg - for me the best WW2 RTS, very realistic
7. Medieval 2 : Total War (with the expansion and mods) - not as good as RTW but close
8. Call of Duty 2 - spent a lot of time playing singleplayer as well as multiplayer
9. Oblivion (with the expansions, add-ons & mods) - too much hours, days, weeks and months spent on this to not mention it
10. Battlefield 1942 (with mods) - first game I ever bought, I played it with friends for hours & hours
...I will sort of cheat and mention here some other ones that are worth playing too but didnt get in my top 10 : Far Cry, Titan Quest+expansion, StarCraft+expansion, Max Payne 1 & 2, Age of Mythology+expansion, Legacy of Kain : Soul Reaver...
1: Dragon Quest III (GBC) - One of the greatest RPG's ever created. Almost total freedom of movement from the outset (unlike FF games...), challenging normal enemies, let alone bosses, and the monster animations pushed the GBC to its limits. Also added an extra class from the NES version of the game.
2: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (PC) - Prior to this, I considered all RTS games to be purly tactics games, where one would have plenty of time to make decisions and deploy troops. RA2 changed all that, bringing a pace and depth to the world of RTS games that was badly overdue, and needed.
3: Castlevania - Symphony of the Night (PSX) - The greatest game of the 2D era. Story, graphics, music, sound, character customization, exploring, platforming, boss battles, its all there.
4: Castlevania III (NES) - What more needs to be said? Take the basics of Castlevania, throw in three allies who all have different abilities, and several different routes, each with a diffrent difficulty, and what do you get? One of the greatest games of all time, bar none. The forumla was so successful, it was returned to as an extra mode in Castlevania - Dawn of Sorrow for the GBA.
5: Super Robot Wars Alpha (PSX) (J) - The shining example for all JRPG's to follow. Sure, the SRW franchise had existed since the days of the NES (in fact, a who timeline series had already been completed), but with the advanced power of the PSX, an upgraded sound engine (I still shudder about F/F-Final...), and a new story, Super Robot Wars Alpha brought tactics games to the forfront once again.
6: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis) - Its a classic, more so then the first. The graphics were crisp, the soundtrack memorable, and Super Sonic was one of the most delightful secrets ever conceived. If only the series hadn't started its dropoff just a few years later...
7: Castlevania - Rondo of Blood (Turbo 16 CD) - The prequel to Symphony of the Night, and the one game that established CD's as a viable game format. Multiple paths in every stage, difficult boss fights, and the outstanding soundtrack make this the must have Castlevania game, and also one of the rarest.
8: Dragon Quest IV - Chapters of the Chosen (NDS) - After some thought, I put the NDS release here over the classic NES version. Essentially the same game, the NDS version was based off the (unreleased in the US) PSX version, and included the new Chapter 6. Its story based format solved the age old problem of having to place barriers to prevent the hero from going where they shouldn't, and not knowing where any of the cities were. While the newer Dragon Quest's V and VI might have been overall better games, something about Dragon Quest IV puts it ahead.
9: Final Fantasy VII (PSX) - Had to come at some point, the game many consider to be the shining examples of RPG brilliance. FFVII is the first video game to trully attempt to have the story drive the action, rather then the other way around. It was also the first game to trully shock even hardcore gamers with the onscreen death of Arieth (admit it, you cried).
10: Super Mario Brothers (NES) - I hate goombas. Despite the fact they are the easiest enemy in gaming history, and move in easily predicable patterns, they've managed to kill us all millions of times. And yet, we keep comming back...
The ones that impressed me the most at their time:
1-Zelda 64
2-FFVII
3-FFVI
4-Medal of honor (the one that started with the omaha beach chaos)
5-Max payne
6-Oblivion (with mods this is the most beautiful looking game todate)
7-Need for speed most wanted
8-FFXI (which I still play and have +380days of gameplay)
9-Grand theft auto san andreas
10-Diablo 2 (for my own health I stopped playing it...seriously..I started to have gray hair @20..)
1. Golden Eye (N64)
2. Perfect Dark (N64)
3. StarCraft: Brood War (everything from here on is on PC)
4. WarCraft 2: BNE
5. Warzone 2100
6. Aliens Vs. Predator 2
7. Half-Life related games: Counter-Strike, Opposing Force, Team Fortess 1
8. Call of Duty 4
9. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC + Clear Sky
10. Runescape (only as a last restort of mass boredom)
If you considering all time and not best in terms of graphics and updated tech, ie not comparing apples with oranges. Mine would be:
1 - FF7 - (nothing will beat the ultimate awesomeness of this game! I stopped going to school for a couple weeks when I was about 12 to play it 24/7, until my parents realised i wasnt actually sick lol)
2 - Red Alert
3 tie - Metal Gear Solid series (4 Possibly my favourite) - Goldeneye and Perfect Dark
after this its hard to order them as comparing very different games but list would have to include: (not ordered)
Jungle strike - thats right mega drive status was the goods Gran turismo 1 and 2 Dawn of war series AvP 1 and 2 (1 was better) Unreal Tournement Oblivion Forza 1 and 2 Red alert 2 probably have to be included too. Soldier of fortune 2 STALKER Far Cry
Better cut it about there but im sure theres more ive loved and missed. Really now I think about it apart from RA and FF7 the rest I like equally as much.

They're not in order.... I don't know if I could put them in any real order. And I'll probably think of a few substitutions, but they're all excellent games, regardless.
