All time favorites

There is a moment in every game I play where I decide if it is one of my all time favorites. It is mostly a tingly feeling I get inside everytime I play it or think of playing it. All of these games games on my list gave me this feeling inside. The combonation of good gameplay and how it looks usually does it for me. How a game makes me feel really defines it for me. If I am not excited to play a game when I am away from it, chances are likely it is not one of my top games. All of these games hold a special place in me and are all ones I will play over and over and still get that same feeling of excitement!!!

List items

  • In my opinion probably the most perfect game that there is. Love everything about it! The great Land of the Dead setting with the characters resembling those Mexican "Dia De Los Muertos" skeleton dolls. Great atmosphere which adds a lot to this story. The art style is absolutley brilliant as well. Makes me wish that these quality adventure games like this had never gone away!

  • The ONLY game on my favorites of all time that I have never completley finished! Which shows to go it must be amazing if I have it on my list and I haven't even finished it! The storytelling in this is just amazing. Same as Grim Fandango, the setting has a really great atmosphere that really sucks you in. April Ryan is probably my favorite female video game character due to her sarcasm and spunkiness! I do plan on going back to finish it sometime, but my major forcing me to get a Mac has stopped me from doing so.

  • I love film noir, and its no suprise that I would love the Max Payne series. While I enjoy the first and it's story, 2 is really where it is all at. The game play was greatly improved and is definitely more fluid. The story is even more engaging with all that is going on. As even hardcore fans of the first absolutley hated the dream sequences (as did I), MP2 does them in a way that made me wish there were more! This is a modern noir story, and it is probably the best I have seen in a long time.

  • I fondly remember this game taking up the ENTIRE summer it came out. I had played previous MGS games and loved them. I tried MGS3 (original) and could not do it with the series' normal top down view. It just did not work at all for this. MGS 1 and 2 it was fine because most areas you were in were square like in shape. But when Subsistence came out it blew my mind. I took my good old time beating this. Trying to sneak without being caught can take a loooong time but I enjoyed every minute of it.

  • This game to me is ALL about the atmosphere. Being in this bright and empty world really puts you in the mood of this game. The concept is brilliant., it is just comprised of 18 or so bosses and nothing else. But that being said each boss is basically a level itself. Boss battles can take you from a couple minutes, to up to an hour. I felt kind of dumb during one of the bosses because I didn't realize that you already have a bow and arrow from the beginning! But this led to me exploring this vast land. And while there isn't much to explore, I though just the feeling this place gives you was worth riding your horse around in. I also love the epic-ness of the bosses. Never before have I felt more difficulty with a boss battle than in this game. It took me a good hour to beat the floating snake because I had so much trouble getting on it's damn wing! But this challenge and trying to figure out how to beat a boss is some of the most fun I have ever had playing a game!

  • Coming off of Grim Fandango I knew that I had to like Psychonauts seeing as it was also made by the brilliant Tim Schafer. And boy was I right! This is probably the most perfect platformer that I have played in a long while. There is just so much to it that makes it different than your typical Ratchet or Jak game. I loved the concept of going into people's minds and exploring a world made from their personality. It kinda makes me wonder what mine and my friend's minds would be like if it were like that. I really hope that Schafer and his guys at Double Fine consider a sequel playing as Raz during his time as a psychic agent!

  • Hands down my favorite FPS of all time. The origina was amazing but this one took that and multiplied it by a thousand...literally!!!!! The setting of City 17, in a dystopian world I thought was so well made. The city has an old architecture feeling to it and when the futuristic Combine stuff is added to it looks brilliant. The best traditional FPS which is almost dead now. All FPS's these days are about looking down sights, taking cover, and the need for multiplayer. Half-Life 2 is the last of it's kind.

  • Do I really need to say much about this game? The first was one of my favorites of all time despite the problems with shooting. It was a perfect mix of third person cover shooting, puzzle, and story. The second took everything and did it better. It looks good, plays good, has well created characters, and settings to die for. I don't know how Naughty Dog did it but they did. I'm excited and scared for a third. Mostly scared because it will be so hard to live up to the the amazement of Uncharted 2.

  • As everyone was, I was amazed about how well.....for lack of a better term AMAZING this game was. I'm a fan of Batman, but not an over crazed fan. I'm not big on the comics but I have read a few of the graphic novels. Even before Christopher Nolans I was a fan. I do think that his two movies are the best of the Batman films. But even then he has always had the coolest badguys and characters. I recently watched Batman the Animated Series from the 90's last summer and I loved those to death. Sure they are cartoon, but they are very complex for cartoons. Im sure all of the kids watching it when it was on air didn't even realize how well done they were! Arkham Asylum was pretty much a blind buy for me. I don't even think I read a review. I saw some game play and watched the quick look, but I was pretty much fresh going into it. My mind was in awe about how great it is. I am fighting off the urge to go and play it right at this very moment!!! That is how much I like this game! Finely crafted gameplay usually makes a good game and this one delivers. When I control Batman it feels exactly right. Not too loose or heavy. The setting of Arkham is so well thoughout. You really get a sense of the darkness and madness of the place. Plus the two lead voices are the same from the Animated Series which really pleased me. Everytime I play it I want to explore everything. I want to find all of the collectable and I enjoy it! There is nothing more fun then grappling to a tower and shooting up to the top!!! I am excited for the second to come out so I can do all of this great stuff in Gotham City itself!! Oh my god.....I really need to play this game over again!!! I think this will be play through 3...i think

  • Such a fun and spectacular adventure game. The art style alone makes it what it is. It has just a really interesting world and setting. Glad it is getting an HD Re release soon!!!

  • Ironically I ended up playing and finishing this first before even finding out that it was a sequel! I loved the hell out of this!! A really superb modern day adventure game. The settings are intriguing and the art style is a visual feast. I hope the Dreamfall Chapters come out someday, it seems like Tornquist and Funcom have spent like 6 years on The Secret World and no one has seen any actual game play. An seeing as most MMO's don't last long I hope it is good enough to last, but I'd rather have more Dreamfall!

  • I have NO idea how I didn't put this on the list sooner. I think I had originally intended this to be top 10 of all time, but I kept adding more and more! The MGS series is definately one of my favorites and this was a very fitting end to the saga. It has the best controls of the series and is definately one of the best stealth games ever. I do like MGS3's stealth better because it does feel more "real" (although changing costumes instantly isnt too real). But stealth in 4 makes stealth fun again. There are probably people who don't play it stealth at all, but I always try to sneak all the way through MGS games...its probably why I clock close to 20 hours each playthrough. With the announcement of the MGS HD pack I will definately play through them all again. GOD DAMN that end was intense. The button mashing scene is probably one of the most poinigiant parts of any game I have ever played, I mashed the HELL out of that button to the point where I was tired after it was over. That is probably at the top of the parts of a game I'd love to experience for the first time over again. Writing this I am now considering playing this game again. I really do love this game and it as the best ending the series could have gotten. I think I played through it multiple times just to mess with the MESS of guns in this. I mean it has the infinite gun that The Boss had from 3!!! God damn that is awesome. I hope they never touch the MGS series again...atleast never bring Snake back. The OH SHIT moment finding out that Big Boss is still alive was another epic moment. Kojima is an arteur of video games. He creates some of the most memorable and most emotional games ever. I could not stop thinking abou the end of this and 3 when I finished each of them. Simply awesome.

  • This game may possibly be the game that I have put the most hours into all around. I played this pretty much non stop the year it came out. I collected all of the treasures, every other collectable. I loved the hell out of this game!!! I have played the story through only twice, once as Nillson and once as the girl. But each of those playthroughs had to atleast be over a hundred hours combined. 2 was decent fun, but it really sucked overall. I'd go back and play this one fully through any time. This and inFamous are my two favorite open-world sandbox games ever, but this is the one out of those two that makes it into my top list of games of all time. When I found out you could play as Han Solo and Indy I nearly exploded. But then it made me realize, who is more awesome of the two? I liked playing as Indy because he was a based in reality, but it was so cool to play as Han Solo in an open world game. But I went back and forth. As I have nothing really to play I may dust off my Xbox and put this badboy in again. Hopefully it doesn't look too bad on my HD tv....because I really don't want to play Mercs 2...what a buggy slightly fun game. Pandemic is pretty much the go to company for insanely fun, buggy messes of games. Mercs 1 feels like their most polished and well made game, and it is. I played through big chunks of The Saboteur with a glitch that made Devlin's model carry a grenade the whole time...it was funny...but I sighed every cutscene it was in. Although it did make one cutscene so much cooler as if he had pulled it out to threaten another character. But enough talk of games other than Mercs 1. The only downside of it is the missions where you get the Ace Cards. The checkpoint system in them was pretty bad and unforgiving. Also the blood colored like sand was a bit odd, but I'm sure they wanted a T rating. God damn I wish Mercs 2 wasn't so bad. It had it's moments, but I never felt that sensation that I had with the first. I'll probably pop them both in and end up finishing 1. Jeeze...I remember how much they ruined the supply drops in the second one...you had to equip 3 at once...but when you wanted to get a different other than the 3 you needed to go into like 4 menus to add it to your main 3 you could call in. Super frustrating.

  • I know I really love a game when I complete it 100%. I could not stop exploring space and even though most were just to look at, I read every entry, did every mission, talked to pretty much everyone. God I love this game! From it's atmosphere to it's superb visual styles and it's great universe that it created. I could not put this one down even if my house was on fire...well maybe. I remembered liking the KoToR games which are similar, but I always hated their full on RPG combat, the framerate, the loading screens, and the fact that it was Star Wars. Mass Effect does all of what those games did a thousand times better. Sure the gunplay ain't no Uncharted, but it works well with the more strategical gunfights rather than run and gun. I cannot wait for 3, but I'd be more than happy to play 2 all the way through again. The final boss may be kinda bad, but its the rest of the open explorable universe that pulled me in for hours upon hours!

  • One of the few, if not the only, open-world games I keep finding myself coming back to year after year. Even if it's not to play the story mode again, I will just pop it in to wander the wild west landscape. Saving random people, collecting bounties, and just shooting ever goddamn animal that crosses my path! Finally got around to getting Undead Nightmare and falling in love with this game again! UN feels like a completley new game that just happens to take place in the Red Dead setting. Damn was that sasquach mission heart breaking! It almost made me consider re-starting the game and not killing them all...but that's what Red Dead does best. It makes you live with your consequences and doesn't forgive!
