Top 10 Games.....
10) Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow (Game Freak) This game is probably the most played game on my gameboy and gameboy color. The best thing about this game is that almost everyone you knew that had this game had their own unique party of pokemon, each with varying skills either by replacing a skill though level up or TM's. There were just so many choices. Plus the game itself was addicted. Gotta Catch Em All
9) Kirby's Avalanche (HAL Laboratory)- Basically a clone of Puyo Pop Fever.. but back then i have never heard of that game. Anyways, the game play was great. The best part is that it featured Kirby and the fact that it was multiplayer, always fun to try to make the biggest combo to crush your opponent with a AVALANCHE of little grey blobs.
8) Halo PC (and...Halo 3) (Bungie)- Played this on PC because i didn't own a Xbox, but PC came with online multiplayer anyway, which is probably the best thing about the game. Once you learned to properly "lead" accordingly to the servers ping, you will be 3sk-ing noobs all over the place with the pistol. What was soo great is that CTF was the dominating gametype it seemd on Bloodgultch, especially in a packed 16 player server. Reason for it? no kill limit, unlike deathmatch where game ends after a certain amount of kills. 3 v 3, BloodGultch CTF anyone? Regarding Halo 3... The Pit...Team Brs.. nuff said.
7) Perfect Dark (RARE) - I remember buying the N64, expansion pack seperately just so that i could play with the maximum amount of computer players. What i loved about this game was probably the fact that each gun had a alternative fire, making them all unique in one way or another. The multiplayer was another big reason why i loved this game. I spent countless hours just playing deathmatch with the various weapon and AI types trying to make each match different. Haha, and the paintball ammo feature was awesome.
6)Super Mario RPG (SQUARE)- I actually remember the day I bought this game, it was 96', in Toys R' Us, and I ended up paying like $75 for this game when it first came out, totally worth it. Probably the game that actually introduced me to the RPG genre, and one of the few RPGs that I beat not even once, but twice. This game was just awesome. It even had a Power Ranger's rip off boss. Square + Nintendo, a match made in Video Game heaven. Kind of funny that it took me a while to realize what the "RPG" in the name stood for.
5)Grand Theft Auto (series.. all of them, except for San Andreas since i never played it) (ROCKSTAR)- The first time I played this game was on a PC in like 98', on a PC in my cousins house in Poland. Ever since then I pretty much played each one and enjoyed it, except for San Andreas, due to a broken PS2, and felt it just wouldn't play the same on the PC. The thing I loved most was that it was a Sandbox game and allowed me to do pretty much anything I wanted to do. Half the time you end up just picking up the game, playing it, and not even doing any of the missions and yet still have hours of fun.
4)Twisted Metal 3 (989 Studios)- Many people will say 1 and 2 were the best, but I personally liked 3 because it was the first one that I played. A nice mix of various cars, with weapons, and some Rob Zombie songs, pretty much already qualified it for being one of my top games. The story line was pretty neat aswell, how you are in a contest and the top player gets a wish granted.
3)Super Smash Brothers(HAL Labs. | Sora) - Everyone always talked about who was the best game character, "If Mario and Linkgot in a fight....", well when this game came out it basically fufilled the dreams of many gamers to prove who was the best character. This game mixed many different Nintendo game worlds into one awesome fighting/action game. My personal favorites were Pikachu and Kirby. The best part is obviously the multiplayer. Theres nothing better than kicking a friends butt and then being able to taunt after a humilating death.
2)Final Fantasy 8 (11 aswell) (Square, and then later Square-Enix)- The thing I loved about this game was the story and the cutscenes were just amazing, back then you would sit there and be like "WOW how did they manage to do something like that ) . Just the introduction cutscene made the game awesome to play. I also include Final Fantasy 11 in this spot aswell. I loved the way they handled job/classes. Where you had a main class and sub class, and then you can go to your little moogle home, and change your class there. No need to for multiple characters.
1)Ragnarok Online (Gravity Co)- This game I have played for soo long. Everynow and then I will find myself after taking a huge break, just playing the game for a few hours for fun, and then BOOM instant addiction for the next few months. I like this game because it had 2-dish sprites in a 3-dish enviroment. You know your addicted when you memorize the different formulas for either attack output,crit rate, dodge,forge success chance, stat bonus ect. Another sign that tells you your addicted is after a few hours of gameplay, you realize.. you haven't done anything at all except chatted with people.This game was literally a test of skill when it comes to pvp, assuming its 1v1 . The only problem with this game is when they started added stuff to the official servers that enchances your character if you pay "extra" to actually buy the items, which makes it "unfair" to those who don't want to pay extra.
Note these are games that came to mind first..., if i remember others list will probably be changed (but I'm lazy, so i doubt it..... Eh forgot to fit "Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" in there somewhere..
