Your 3 Top games ever!

If you had to choose 3 games only as your top games, which ones would they be?

To make things more interesting, I have created a list which I will update every time I get an answer in the this thread and we'll see at the end what are the top 100 games of Giantbomb users  :)

NOTE: I know it is hard to decide your top 3 games so if you post 5 I will only take the first 3 .

Also avoid giving me franchises and it is better if you're more specific on the games you like .

If you reply with only 2 games I won't enter them :)

IF YOU GIVE ME A NOSTALGIA TOP 3 AND A CURRENT 3 I WILL CHOSE THE FIRST 3 . I CAN'T MAKE THE DECISION FOR YOU :)

Starting with me :

Rome Total War

Fallout 3

StarCraft 2

Skyrim

Super Paper Mario (wii)

Pokemon Diamond (i think all of them are great, never like the the ranger ones though)

Edit: Pokemon got there because thats all i played when i was little (and i really couldn't think of another game), but heck, i still play it now :)

Edit:Valkyria Chronicles instead of Pokemon

Okami

Red Dead Redemption

Tough choice between Persona 3 and 4

Edit:@hoossy said:

Red Dead Redemption

Shadow of the Colossus

Battlefield 1942

Oh ****, I'm swapping out U2 for RDR

Skyrim

Resident Evil 4

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast

Red Dead Redemption

Shadow of the Colossus

Battlefield 1942

You're going to hate constantly updating that list D:

Anyway:

• Braid
• BioShock
• System Shock 2

----------------------------------------------

Update: 24/02/13

• Braid
• BioShock
• Binding of Isaac

I'm sorry SS2 ;__; you're a great game and all, but I think we should just be friends. After playing through SS2 a second time, I still think it's a great game, but there are some parts which annoy me, particularly how the game goes down hill towards the end. Anyway, I have substituted it for Binding of Isaac, a game that I have played for hundreds of hours, and I'll probably spend hundreds more on the upcoming remake too...

I don't have a top 3. I pretty much have 30 games that tie for first place.

World of Warcraft haven't played in years, but I spent more time playing WoW than every other game I've ever played combined, and I met a lot of cool people while playing, raiding in WoW was such a completely satisfying experience with the greatest highs and lows I've ever had.

Star Control II great story and complete freedom to explore, rare in such an old game or any game for that matter.

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn another great story, one of the best.

Let's see...

Portal

Journey

Shadow of the Colossus

EDIT: Make SotC Dark Souls. Blasphemous? Probably. But I hated that ending.

• Valkyria Chronicles
• GTA Vice City
• Need For Speed High Stakes

I could replay those over and over again. In fact, I have replayed them all every year since I got them. Same goes for Persona 4 but I had to cut something.

I always have a hard time doing this.

Anyway, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, and... Crash Bandicoot Warped? I dunno. The first two are games that I've beaten a crazy number of times and they never lose my attention and thrill me every time, so they just get the number 1 and 2 spots automatically. Crash Warped is a fantastic game, I highly recommend it to anyone who likes platformers, but I don't think I want to say it's #3 because I can point out some things that I don't like about it. There are far too many weird levels, for one, and not enough platforming ones.

For this particular generation, though, it's Dead Space 2, Skyrim, and Halo 3.

Oh geez... uhm probably;

-Rome Total War

-Fallout 3

-Red Dead Redemption.

Honourable mentions go to Dragon Age: Origins, The Witcher Call of Duty 4, Baldur's Gate 1&2 though.

Jet Set Radio Future

Chrono Trigger

Grand Theft Auto 4

-Shenmue

-The Legend of Zelda Windwaker

-Grand Theft Auto IV

-Fallout 3

-Jak & Daxter

-Kingdom Hearts

Chess

Solitaire

air hockey

fallout 3

final fantasy VII

...

i can't do this

If I were to go with games, they'd all be Final Fantasies, so for number 1, I'll just put down the series as a whole.

Final Fantasy

Fallout: New Vegas

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.

1. Doom 
2. FreeSpace 2 
3. Mass Effect 2

Oh I usually hate this question... Always remember something after I answer.

Off the top of my head, I guess:

League of Legends , Bayonetta

Those two are a given I think. Other than that... Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater . Maybe.

That could be interchangable with Final Fantasy X or Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is up there as well.

This is hard T.T

EDIT: FUCK, Super Metroid or Castlevania: Symphony of the Night should be third spotters.

Fuck it, League, Bayo, SotN are my top 3. DONE.

1. Skyrim (or Oblivion or Morrowind) 
2. Batman Arkham Asylum 
3. Age of Empires III and Civilization III tie

In order.

Shenmue 2

Last Blade 2

Dragon Force

Deus Ex
The Witcher
KOTOR

Mafia

Edit: These aren't in any particular order.

Diablo 2

Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

1. Phantasy Star Online
2. Max Payne 3 - Yup
3. Banjo Kazooie N&B

These three instantly came to mind. The results may differ if I think about it, but if they spring to mind then I guess they made the biggest impact.

Tough one.

1. Mega Man 3

2. Mass Effect 2

3. Zelda: Wind Waker

I think....

2. Resident evil 4

Dude! Nothing wrong with Pokemon, except Diamond and Pearl were the worst Pokemon games to be honest :/ I'd say Black and White were the best games since Gold and Silver, that whole 2 worlds in one was insane.

In no particular order:

Persona 4

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Starcraft 2.

I'm sorry Kirby Superstar, I'll always love you.

Dark Chronicle

Fallout 3

Baldurs Gate 2

Dark Souls

Kingdom Hearts II

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

1. Skyrim
2. Dark Souls
3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2

It's tough deciding on only 3 games but I think this is about right for me.

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

2. World of Warcraft

3. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

1. Pokémon Red/Blue

2. Halo: Combat Evolved

3. World of Warcraft
