The real Citizen Kane games list.

Here's a list of my top 10 games that remind me of the hoopla that is the Citizen Kane comparison to Video Games.

List items

• 

  1. Grim Fandango

  Heard of film noir, well, here's game noir.

• 

  2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

  Took the elements of a classic action adventure game and incorporated them into a 3D realm. Pure magic.

• 

  3. Half-Life

  There were plenty of shooters out there and then came Half Life.

• 

  4. Grand Theft Auto III

  The kid in me wanted to play in this sandbox and it did not disappoint my mature soul.

• 

  5. Super Mario 64

  Platformers would never be the same again.

• 

  6. Resident Evil 4

  B horror movie franchise that got a AAA action upgrade.

• 

  7. The Sims

  Reality television became big in 2000, so did this game.

• 

  8. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

  As a reviewer once said, step out of the sewers and hello National Geographic wonderland.

• 

  9. Halo: Combat Evolved

  The behemoth from Bungie brought multiplayer console gaming into the 21st century.

• 

  10. BioShock

  Say what you will, but this game was a moving cinematic experience.
