Ok everyone! I know it's a little late but I promised my top 10 list and here it is! I'm only writing a brief explanation for each one, nothin fancy cuz i don't really have time, sorry. If you want me to go further into why i chose one, just ask in my comments and i'll try to elaborate.
So to explain this, these are not necessarily my personal favorites, just the games that I think deserve overall, best game of all time. So basically, most revolutionary or just an amazing game that everyone loves. Yeah. Here goes.
10. Resident Evil 4 (GC) - A new take on the Resident Evil series has been recieved with some of the best ratings that a game can get. Probably the most popular game in the series, Resident Evil 4 will likely spawn a whole new genre melding of Survival Horror and Third Person Shooters.
9. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - A new release, it's hard to say if it will last as long as say, Super Mario World? or other like games. Regardless, it's a great new mario game that gives new players a taste of what all of us saw in Super Mario World and 64.
8.Final Fantasy(NES) - In the age of dying RPG's, Final Fantasy revitalized the genre and without FF, it could well be dead by now. Thank you final fantasy!!
7. Chrono Trigger (SNES) - When they could just be rapidly spawning more FF sequels, Square decides to take a differentroute and makes Chrono Trigger.Gone are the days of random battles and welcome to multiple endings, theActive Battle system, and an unequaled storyline.
6. Final Fantasy VII (PS) - First fully 3D RPG with memorable characters that leave characters begging for more.
5. Half Life (PC) - Completely revolutionizing the FPS genre, Half Life brings some great new systems into the FPS genre that really make them what they are today. Halo's got nothin on the original Half Life :D
4. Super Mario World (SNES) - platforming at it's absolute best! This is the absolute best that 2D gaming has to offer (and that says a lot coming from a guy who grew up with Sonic the Hedgehog :P)
3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Zelda's first romp into 3D which doesn't have the best storyline but brings the awesomeness of Zelda to a whole new level.
2. Chrono Cross (PS) - Square does it again with a completely new battle system, new storyline, new world and everything is completely revolutionary. Why they haven't used the system again or made a sequel, i will never understand. If you haven't played this game, go get it on ebay, just be prepared to pay TONS for this incredible game.
1. Super Mario 64 (N64) - Yes I picked Super Mario 64 for the number1 game. Since it was the first real 3D game that really hit it big, you can argue that every 3D game is influenced by this game. And even alone, it is still an incredible game that everyone of all ages will enjoy. Not too easy, not too difficult and TONS of gameplay time. Don't even think of passing this up.
There it is, my top 10 picks! Again, if you want to hear any of them elaborated, just comment. I'll do some but i won't do all of them. As for ur holiday wishlist, if you haven't played these, here's ur list right here. All of them are more than worth playing and I promise you won't be disappointed. Peace friends.
