Games that are probably the greatest games in the world that are because I said so and I am probably right yknow and stu
A list with a bunch of games I completely adore.
No order beyond number one.
List items
-
1. Super Mario Bros. 3
Seriously! Tanooki suit, Hammer bros suit, Frog suit, Kuribos Shoe, Warp whistle... P-WING MOTHERFUCKER!
-
2. Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
There was once a summer holiday when I was a young boy where I didn't care for food, drink, films, tv or even girls I had crushes on.
I used to wrap a red necktie round my head and play streetfighter 2 for hours.
-
3. Resident Evil 4
I played Resident Evil 4 three times in a row and then another two times about a month later. One of the few games I know completely inside-out. Every enemy spawn, trick, treasure and exploit, and I love it. The control system is fine and the set pieces absolutely insane. It was the first game to really integrate its cinematics into the gameplay seamlessly. The Krauser knife fight is absolutely brilliant to this day.
I finished it on Pro with a broken PS2 controller.
-
4. Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
I am a Ratchet fanboy.
This is THE BEST Ratchet game that is ever likely to be made.
Prove me wrong Insomniac!
-
5. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
I literally punched the air after finishing this game.
I don't think there is or can be another game that emotionally drains me like this did. This in my opinion is the first real evolution of interactive cinema, No game at the time had sucessfully melded interaction and cinematics like the oven sequence towards the end.
-
6. ICO
Much more memorable than Shadow of the Colossus. I adore that too, but it always felt like you had a better connection with Yorda, she is so vulnerable and can be snatched away in an instant wheras Agro is invincible and will come running from a million miles away to be by your side.
The puzzles are wonderfully designed and the final sequences of the game absolutely stunning, there hasn't been another game quite like it.
-
7. Quake II
Metal, guns explodey chunks of meat... MEATAL!
The first PC game I owned. from the second it was installed it blew my mind, and to this day still one of the finest first person shooters out there.
-
8. Jak II
I hate this fucking game, I love this game, I hate this fucking game, I love this game, I HATE this game. Probably the most fun I have had hating a game ever.
I finished it with a broken controller which is far more of an achievement than any I have on the 360.
-
9. Final Fantasy IX
Love the story, yep even more than seven, even if the bad guy is Sephiroph-lite.
The ending is awesome too.
-
10. Ōkami
The best Zelda game not made by Nintendo. Absolutely gorgeous and annoyingly one of those titles that came at the end of a the PS2's life. Far more surprisingly and less talked about, the game has a warmth and sense of humour unmatched by many games of it's type and that will stick with me far beyond it's visual beauty.
-
11. Earth Defense Force 2017

12. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Absolutely nuts, a masterpiece. It's hard to single out MGS games as they're all really one big stupid story. MGS2 just completely fucks with everything you loved about the first game including its main character, and in the process turns solid snake into such a huge icon, a hero... THE hero.
Parts 2 and 4 are a work of art. A badly written,under edited, brilliantly planned work of art.
-
13. Sonic the Hedgehog
Whoosh! while Chemical plant zone in 2 is easily Sonics standout moment in any of his games, Sonic 2 suffers from a few problems nobody ever brings up like getting stuck in areas where the only way to continue is to die and tails losing you all of your god damn rings during bonus stages!
Sonic is pared down to perfection. Every stage more exciting than it's last and full of absolutely brilliant music. Sonic was easily my favourite of the mascots when I was younger.
-
14. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The first game I felt like I had complete freedom in. It amazed me that I could pretty much go anywhere provided I had the tools to do so. The moment where you went to a dark world and turned into a pink rabbit blew my mind. The first Zelda I had ever played with great music and outstanding art, it is still something i'd be happy playing even today.
-
15. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
The funniest, most action packed of all the Ratchet games. The writing is so consistently funny in UYA that it always amazes me when people talk of funny games they always go to the usual Tim Schafer ones. Grim Fandango and Psychonauts are very, very funny but UYA is Hilarious.
-
16. Super Metroid
The first Really atmospheric game I ever played, the opening sequences were like something from a movie and the sound and music once you land on the planet give off a real sense of isolation and dread.
-
17. Secret of Mana
I think I spent like 12 bazillion years playing this. It took me forever to realize I had to grind, I had never played an RPG before and couldn't quite get the hang of levelling and whatnot. Id love to have the patience to play through this game again.
-
19. Star Fox
I do the Corneria level music in my head all the time.
There's never been an on rails shooter with as much personality as this does.
-
20. Bayonetta
One of the nuttiest games I have ever, ever played that can be explained away in one word "Japan". It has a flawless combat system and some of the best boss battles I have ever seen in any game. This mixed with a real love for other video games and some ace artwork make this one of the most memorable and brilliant gaming experiences I have ever had.
It's so good I bought it twice!
-
21. The Chaos Engine
Steampunk shooter with RPG elements before the term RPG elements was thrown about everywhere. It looked gorgeous on the Amiga and had cool little sound effects, explosions and was full of interesting enemies and strange secrets hidden within the levels.
-
22. We Love Katamari
nah-nah-nah-nah nah-nah-nah-nahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Even dogs love Katamari!
-
23. JSRF: Jet Set Radio Future
Wonderful soundtrack and amazing art. One of the most fun games I have ever played. It has that Sega arcadeyness to it. Grinding on rails and skate-by-spray painting are just a joy. It's a very easy game, but full of colour and personalty.
-
24. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
It's easy to forget about how impressive this game was. The single player was exciting and had some really powerful moments, but my main focus was a years worth of time put into multiplayer Search & Destroy. The ranking system was unrivalled at the time, always dangling a carrot infront of your face whether you were new to the game or had been playing for 50 hours. Everything about the game plays so well.
It's a shame they fucked up so bad for the sequel.
-
25. Borderlands
GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
<3
-
26. Mortal Kombat II
I owned this on the SNES and loved it with a passion. The popular kids wanted to be my friend at school when it was released as they were all too old/cool to be buying games at that point. (idiots) All of them wanted to play my copy of MK2. I think I lent it out to like 15 people... One of those motherfuckers stole it!
-
27. Vib Ribbon
This game has six songs, all of them are brilliant but its beauty is not the on disc songs but trying to master anything in your CD collection.
I once played someones Bright Eyes christmas album on it and most of Painkiller by Judas Priest... both of which were surprisingly easy.
Anything by Duran Duran is ridiculously hard!
-
28. Super Meat Boy
It is insane to think that 2D platformers would be so popular in 2010. The thing that makes Meat Boy stand out from the crowd is that its difficulty while very, very high is far more approachable than many of the other indie massocore darlings. Tiny levels, instant respawns, perfect controls and a ton of levels to go and try if you get stuck show some incredible design. Oh, and some of the best music in any video game ever.
-
29. Gunstar Heroes
The best licensed game for a saturday morning cartoon that never was. The paper thin story, intense action, weapons, levels, music, quirky characters, boss designs, spaceships... Everything about this game is perfect. Pick up and play fun. Treasure at their best.
-
30. The Binding of Isaac
I've always tried to keep this list under 30, but 85 hours(and counting)and an intense love for the art, music and structure of this game this feels like a pretty natural inclusion. So much content in what initially seems like a bad flash game, very few games do I feel like I'm still seeing new things at 60 hours in. There's always an unfair room or a run that ends abruptly. but when things go from terrible to swinging wildly in your favour that joy is rarely matched. Best £3 I ever spent on Steam.
