There are no 2010 or 2011 games on this list just because I want some time for them to settle in my mind before I go picking legit favorites. So 2009 and earlier on this list. I also only list one game per series with the sole exception of 2D and 3D Mario games since they're pretty different from one another. It needs updating, to be sure since I have played some awesome stuff, but I'm too lazy to update it right now.
25. Quake II- Id's best game thus far.
24. Gears of War- Epic's best game thus far.
23. Dead or Alive 2- The game that hooked me on Itagaki's works.
22. Banjo-Kazooie- Rare's best game thus far.
21. Crysis- Crytek's best game thus far.
20. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow- I had a level 99 Pikachu in Yellow. That's dope!
19. Super Mario World- My favorite of the 2D Mario games.
18. JSRF: Jet Set Radio Future- One of Smilebit's finest moments!
