NOTICE: This list is currently under major improvement and recategorizing (as of 1/18/21). This notice will be removed once the list is complete/finished.
Although I love all these games, they are ranked in order from favorite to least favorite (most favorable being #1, and least favorable being #100).
Exclusions: game compilations and alternate versions/re-releases.
Jet Set Radio has remained my favorite video game since finishing my first playthrough. From what I recall, it’s the only game I’ve played several times and never gotten bored of. My favorite character from the roster has to be Gum, the sarcastic and practical punk who is the first character introduced, and the deuteragonist.
Full honestly, I cannot point out one flaw about this game. I love the soundtrack, the music, the settings, and it’s unique style. There’s a reason why this game won so many awards.
Score: 10/10 (100%)
Skyrim (as I like to simply call it) ranks very close to Jet Set Radio. Being my second favorite game of all-time, Skyrim is one of my favorite RPGs and offers for much “virtual exploring.”
This was often my reality-escape game, and I loved how easy it was to role-play in this game. Personally, khajiit is my favorite race in the game, and I prefer a bow and arrow (just like real-life). The controls, thankfully, were very easy to adjust to.
Score: 10/10 (100%)
Of all the games in the franchise, BioShock 2 remains my favorite one. Of all mostly story-driven games, it ranks my favorite as well, serving as an emotional, semi-understanding, and choice-driven story. This is the only BioShock game with no plot-twist, which shows that this series has potential without it.
My only problem with this game is that you’re unable to go back to previous areas so you can try and get your achievements. However, it would be kind of hard to revisit some areas if you put the plot and events into consideration.
Score: 10/10 (100%)
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is my favorite go-kart and racing video game of all-time, featuring several of my favorite Sega characters, including Beat and Gum (from Jet Set Radio), Pudding (from Space Channel 5), Amy and Knuckles (from Sonic the Hedgehog), and AiAi and MeeMee (from Super Monkey Ball). This game also introduced me to several other franchises, like Shinobi.
Like the games above this one, I see hardly any flaws except for a few glitches that I rarely encounter. I’d prefer offline play compared to online, and would prefer Mario Kart 8 for online. Overall, a great game with a great fan-favorite roster.
Score: 10/10 (100%)
This is by far my favorite rhythm game to date, Space Channel 5 delivers groovy gameplay with an easily likeable protagonist with love-to-hate villains and antagonists altogether.
The game follows Ulala, a reporter for Channel 5, following the investigation of the Morolian Invasion, while also being harassed by Pudding (Channel 42 reporter) and Jaguar (the Space Pirates).
One flaw I have with this game is how short it can be. However, the stunning gameplay and appealing characters in music make it all worth several replays.
Score: 10/10 (100%)

Most people prefer it’s sequel Trouble in Paradise, but I like the original Viva Piñata better. Viva Piñata has beautiful characters and animals, visually appealing graphics, and entertaining music.
An underrated Rare classic that deserves recognition, Viva Piñata is for both adults and children, entertaining all who enjoy farming simulation games on a rainy/snowy day and just need to relax.
Score: 10/10 (100%)
My favorite Sonic the Hedgehog game, even if people don’t like the Werehog/werewolf levels. It was nice to try something new in the Sonic games, and Sonic Unleashed did it nearly perfectly.
As someone who played this game on the Xbox 360, I found it irritating that the homing attack button was the same as the boost button. I also didn’t like how difficult it was to find the sun/moon medals, and how long some of the levels were.
