I have a lot of memorable games throughout the generations. I don't go by a "score" but by how the game made me feel and or how much I played it. Here are some of my best games and memories:
1. Super Mario Brothers-NES
2. Legend of Zelda- NES
3. Street Fighter 2-Arcade/SNES
4. Final Fight-Arcade/SNES
5. Mike Tysons Punchout-NES/Arcade
6. Super Mario 64- "Wow factor" for it's time
7. Legend of Zelda OoT- "Wow factor"
8. Halo Combat Evolved-Xbox
9. Soul Calibur-DC version. Unbelievable for it's time grahpically, gameplay..perfect.
10. Far Cry (PC) A true "Next Gen" experience in 2004
11. HL2 (PC Another "Wow factor" next gen experience in 2004 that STILL looks great today. (Played Loast Coast for fun last night and it's still beautiful)
12. Counter-Strike Source: Played this game more than probably any game I have ever had
13. FEAR PC 2005: Amazing engine and graphics for it's time and a scary game with perfect atmosphere.
14. Crysis 2007: Still a beautiful game and engine that really wasn't fully realized until years later when PCs could really play the game. The world is so open and the environment was so destructible and could impact the way you attacked or approached a situation. I recently downloaded and installed the 2013 release of BlackFire Mod and it only manipulates the lighting and let's you change the look on the fly with the press of a key. It really brings out the brilliance of Crysis and makes it look damn near as good as Crysis 3 (PC version).
15. Fight Night Round 3: Sure not a great game score wise but a real showcase of the PS3/360 when it came out with good online competition.
16. Uncharted 2 (such an immersive game. Uncharted just was a bit boring and I wasn't wowed by the graphics as PC games were way ahead at that point.
17. Halo 3
18. L4D 1&2 (PC versions) for it's ridiculously addictive co-op and online multiplayer (survival)
19. Batman AA (PC)
20. Portal 2
21. Crysis 3- Mainly for the graphics. Just "wow." Almost didn't include this game.
22. Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown. To me this is the perfect fighting game
23. Mortal Kombat 9 (PS3)
24. Killer Instinct (Arcade)
25. Killer Instinct Gold (N64)
26. Sonic the Hedgehog
27. Fight Night Champion (360 Version)
28. Elevator Action (NES) Such a great simple game for it's time
29. TMNT-SNES
30. Streets of Rage (Genesis)
31. Mortal Kombat 2 (Arcade and SNES)
32. Deus Ex: HR
I'm sure there are many more and these are in no particular order. Just games that are memorable and or current with me that I play. I am not big on "scores" as even if a game has many imperfections I might still be super fond of it for personal reasons.
