Top 10 Games Ever?

[Nearmyth]

Mario Series
Pokemon Series
Elder Scrolls Series
Zelda Series
WoW
Portal
Deus Ex

That's all I can really think of right now, too hard to choose from so many games...

[Thorgim]

My top ten favourite games would be:

1. Diablo 2
2. Baldurs Gate 2
3. Pokemon Blue
4. Starcraft 2
5. Starcraft 1
6. World of Warcraft
7. GTA Vice City on PS2
8. Warcraft 3
9. Mass Effect 2
10. Age of Empires 2

Unfortunately I haven't played console games much. Wow would be the game I have had the most fun with and played the most but that is due to the social side of it more than the game I think.

[zingar]

seriously wow? how many of you would be playing it if it wasnt for the social factor?

a few i can think of right now (order doesnt matter)

devil may cry 3 se
kings bounty
half life dm
worms armageddon
the longest journey
payday the heist on co op
super hexagon xd
mirrors edge
HoMM series
hitman contracts

many many more its really hard to compare em dont feel like doing so ATM

10. Shadowrun (Sega Genesis)

I tip my hat to you, Ive seen loads if these lists pop up but thats the first time Ive seen someone other than me bring that game up, although I played the SNES version and didnt even know there was a megadrive version.

[deepr]

1. StarCraft
2. World of Warcraft
3,4. Super Mario Kart + Mario Kart 64
5. Super Castlevania IV
6. Secret of Mana
7. Final Fantasy VI
8. Super Mario World
9. Contra III: The Alien Wars
10. Star Control II

That's sad. :< That's just as bad as people who only play consoles and will never experience great PC games. D:

I'd agree with the poster you're quoting but I used to own a console. The depth of gaming on the PC was always much higher. There's a lot of Nintendo raised folks in this thread, and while I won't try to tell anyone what their opinions should be.... I do feel that their opinions are akin to selecting their favorite food when they've only ever eaten at a global chain restaurant.

PC games in recent times have seriously degraded in quality and depth though. I feel bad for people who missed out on the mid-to-late 90s (and perhaps arguably the early 2000s) of PC gaming. Those were some great times.

1. nfl blitz - almost came to blows on several occassions with my brothers playing this game - so much fun - those were the days
2-10 everything else

[Goretusker]

Some great lists all around, here's mine:

10. UFO - Enemy Unknown
9. Civilization 4
8. Super Metroid
7. World of Warcraft
6. Dead Space
5. Secret of Mana
4. Shadow of the Colossus
3. Diablo 2
2. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
1. Half Life 2

Damn ten is a short list there are so many more deserving games I can hardly believe there isn't any space for a Mario, Final Fantasy, Warcraft or Street Fighter game. Chrono Trigger should be in there too but I wouldn't know what to cut...

[Wheater]

Can't really make a correct order, they're all perfect imo
Tales of Symphonia GC
Golden Sun GBA
Super Mario Bros. 3. Nes
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sega
Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening GB
Pokemon Blue GBC
Final Fantasy Tactics PS1
Super Smash bros. Melee GC
Super Mario Sunshine GC
Resident Evil 4 PS2

Few others are close behind. (Fire emblem, Diablo 2, Rollar Coaster tycoon, Paper Mario to name a few)

[RaZDaZ]

Any order:

- Dark Souls
- LoZ: OoT
- StarCraft: BW
- C&C Red Alert 2
- CoD4
- Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
- AvP2
- Super Mario 64
- Metroid Prime 1 or 2
- Rome: Total War

seriously wow? how many of you would be playing it if it wasnt for the social factor?

Really at it's core this is still a largely WoW centered message board.

[Bryzik]

10. Saints Row: the Third
9. Postal 2
8. Penumbra: Black Plague
7. To the Moon
6. Metal Gear Solid 2
5. Metal Gear Solid

Not perfect, but no list is.

[mitbrandir]

Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Singleplayer
Gears Of War
Team Fortress 2

[Armourboy]

That's like saying Avatar has to be in all reputable top 10 movie lists because it made so much money even though it's a complete rip off of Pocahontas. WoW is fun but not in my top 10.

Fun is subjective and based on opinion, success is not. WoW will be listed as one of the most successful games of all time ( if not the most), most fun will be different for every single individual.

Just look at the lists in here, some of these games I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole, but that doesn't mean they weren't fun, or wouldn't be listed as some of the most successful games in history.

[planktin]

10. Xenogears
9. Zelda - Ocarina of Time
8. Metal Gear Solid
7. Chrono Trigger
6. Starcraft
5. WoW
4. Portal

1. Final Fantasy (SQUARESOFT)

Honorable Mentions : Earthbound, Borderlands, and Skyrim

09. The legend of zelda (nes)
08. Baseball stars (nes)
07. Diablo (pc)

01. World of warcraft (pc)

i know i'm forgetting a lot of others that probably could have been on the list, but these are the ones that occur to me at the moment.

get out.
Get out of this universe.

1. nfl blitz - almost came to blows on several occassions with my brothers playing this game - so much fun - those were the days
2-10 everything else

christ, nearly forgot about that, epic game!

[Bardarian]

seriously wow? how many of you would be playing it if it wasnt for the social factor?

Since when is any MMO really a solid game by itself?
People who are putting an MMO in their top 10 can't parse the fun of playing with other people from the fun of the game itself.

Imagine if someone tried to release WoW as a single player game
People would be like "oh... is this a facebook app?"

[Daverid]

1. Witcher 2
2. KOTOR
3. JK2JO
4. Morrowind
5. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
6. Deus Ex : Human Revolution
7. Donkey Kong 64
8. Super Mario 64
9. Portal 2
10. COD4:MW1 (Seven's zombie mod was fucking king).

I've honestly probably put that list differently in some other thread ... Numbers 5-9 generally change sometimes because they're all so close I sometimes forget which order I place them.

[LolretKJ]

10. Pokemon, blue version (GB)
9. Fire Emblem Sacred Stones (GBA)
8. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. (GBA)
7. Dragon Age (PS3/PC)
6. Halo 2 (Xbox)
5. Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (PC/Xbox 360)
4. Elder Scrolls: Morrowind (PC/ Xbox)
3. League of Legends (PC)
2. Gears of War 1 (xbox 360)
1. World of Warcraft (PC)

I honestly had to go with WoW as my #1, because it's the game that I have ever spent the most time on.
