Your TOP 5 most epic games?

There are a lot of epic games out there. But which ones caught your attention the most?

My TOP 5 is:
1.CALL OF DUTY - Modern Warfare 2
2.LOST PLANET 2
3.Split/Second
4.MASS EFFECT 2
5.Devil May Cry 3

EDIT: Oh yeah and I mean EPIC as in awesome experience either story-wise(if there was something really epic about the story) or gameplay-wise(if there was something really epic about the gameplay).

No order: - Gears of War 2 - Left 4 Dead - Modern Warfare 2 - Fallout 3 These games got my adrenaline going at every turn. orb_03_2006

It seems you couldnt manage the simple concept of a top 5. :D

And to the OP:

In no order.

Gears.

Vice City

KOTOR

Mass Effect.................................. 2(just)

Dragon Age Origins

Purely based on story.

However, in terms of overall being my favourite five games ever made, basically epicness, i would say:

Vice City

Burnout

Splinter Cell

Mortal Kombat 2

Halo Combat Evolved

THis could very welll be wrong. I feel dirty leaving out some epic games.

I notice the jerk part was edited out. :D I was only messin man.

Still, i have a problem leaving a game out. Seems weird to me that someone cant think of one. Chose some epic games though.

Mass Effect (first one) - the story was brilliant the atmosphere was **** awesome the characters music and everything else were also perfect

Metal Gear Solid - my old friend and reminder of the long gone good days. wait there's no need to mention how awesome everything about that game was right?

Crysis - that one was also nearly perfect even with my **** computer back then

Call of Duty black ops - the campaign was amazing though it made me so sad about poor Reznov - I still prefer MW2 multi player :P it's lovely

Metal Gear Solid 3 - no need to explain right?

Dead Rising for being the zombie game that really got it right (for me and the way I like to play zombie games).

Halo: Combat Evolved for the story, the setting, for getting vehicles in an FPS right, for adding in co-op that was awesome, and of course, the multiplayer.

Fallout 3 for the atmosphere and ambiance.

Gears 1 for visually blowing me away with it's visuals.

Saints Row 2 for being the crazy fun over-the-top crime game I wanted GTA4 to be.

That's just from this gen of course. I could add in all kinds of EPIC memorable things from earlier eras in gaming.

As awesome and fun as Dead Rising was, there are too many technical flaws in it.

And Saints Row 1 is better than 2 imho.

Fair enough on both counts. But DR's technical flaws weren't enough to sully the experience for me personally. I don't dispute that it was flawed mind you. But I had an HD TV when I played it so the small text didn't bother me and I am older than most gamers and remember a time when games didn't even have a save system so the single slot for saving also didn't bother me. So I view it from a unique perspective. I know I'm one of the only people who feel this way which is why I made the little disclaimer in parenthesis. It's just one of my personal favorites, warts and all.

As for Saints Row 1 vs 2, well the first game didn't let me hurl any random person with the touch of a button. So I give it to SR2 for adding that and all the extended customization options. Plus I preferred having a character who spoke more than an occasional one-liner. But none of that is meant to slight the original, which was an amazing game.

I was also going to edit my post, but since I'm here in a reply I'll do this here. I meant to type "Halo series" instead of "Halo: Combat Evolved".

this is a tough one for sure. :roll:

fallout 3

oblivion

Call of Duty WAW

Boarderlands

Fallout New Vegas

2. CoD 4

3. Mass Effect 2
