Top 20 games

Right, so the list is finally here. I would like to state that this is my opinion and by no means possible have I tried to make this an objective list. Also, this is per august 2007, and the list would most probably change sooner than later, as I intend to play some great games in the not to distant future (like say Bioshock, Mario Galaxy and the like) and I might just change my mind as well. In other words, it is indeed subject to change.





20: Tekken 3 (PS)

One of the best fighting games ever created, that holds up great even to this day.

19: The Sims (PC)

This is a surprisingly addictive game for a game that aims to simulate everyday life. This game opened a new world to gaming and was revolutionary for it's time.

18: Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)

This is a truly epic game, and leaves you for the most time in a feeling of awe.

17: Okami (PS2)

This long lasting action adventure game has some of the best visual art I have ever seen, as well as an unique gameplay element called the "celestial brush" which basically allows you to draw things into the environment.

16: Max Payne (PC)

The thing that stands out about this game is the ability to go in to slow motion while firing your guns in real time, a function that not only looks great, but that blends in well with the gameplay as well, and is pretty much a crucial part of the game. The game also has a great story, which is presented in a sort of graphic novel that fits well with the game.

15: Majora's Mask (N64)

As a sequel to Ocarina of Time it kinda falls a bit short, but it's still a brilliant Zelda game with great atmosphere and excellent gameplay.

14: Yoshi's Island (Snes)

A great platformer, that saw you controling different coloured Yoshis instead of mario, who was in fact an infant. This game has excellent gameplay and great visuals and will give you many great memories, although it featured a bit too much crying. :P

13: Super Mario World (Snes)

Mario at it's best. Nuff said.

12: Duke Nukem: Zero Hour (N64)

This game has sadly been greatly overlooked. It's lack of save points makes it a hazzle sometimes, but despite this it has some very rewarding gameplay and a badass atmosphere.

11: Banjo Kazooie (N64)

Genius platforming and brilliant humor makes this a great experience and a very good game.

10: Gears of War (Xbox 360)

This game is action packed to the brim and brings a very solid cover mechanism to the mix, which is often lacking in shooters. As well as the great gameplay, this game has the best graphics I have ever seen.

9: Perfect Dark (N64)

One of the best shooters to this day, with a ton of options and customization and just a lot to do.

8: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (PC)

The one tony hawk game that clearly stands out from the rest.

7: Resident Evil 4 (GC)

Probably the best survival horror game ever made.

6: The Pokemon Series (GB, GBC, GBA, DS)

As all the pokemon games are pretty much the same, I list them here as one entry. Altough the story in these game are quite rudimentary for standard rpgs, the gameplay and sheer collector spirit, more than makes up for it.


5: Final Fantasy VII (PS)

Wow... just wow. If I had played this game when I was a kid, who knows what game would've been at the top.

4: Twilight Princess (Wii)

Being one of the most anticipated games of all time, it couldn't possibly live up to the immense hype it was getting pre release, but this game makes a good a try as one could ever hope for. This well designed and epic Zelda game will keep you entertained for 50+ hours.

3: Super Mario Bros. 3

Simply the best platforming game ever made. Period.

2: Goldeneye 007 (N64)

This game will never grow old. Best first person shooter ever made, and the multiplayer is still more fun than most games today.

1: Ocarina of Time (N64)

Simply a masterpiece! In his review, Jeff Gerstmann from gamespot said "In a word, perfect. To call it anything else would be a bald-faced lie." I tend to agree.
