All-time favorites
The order outside of the top 4 is funky but these are my favorites.
List items
-
Great single-player. Also, great mods: Natural Selection, the Specialists, DoD, etc.
Opposing Force was a good expansion too.
-
Father of Console FPS's. Best split-screen co-op experience so far. The number of hours spent sitting on the couch yelling at each other while playing on legendary...
-
Great characters, amazing bad guy makes this my favorite RPG. Music, dialogue, quest design, locations are all amazing.
-
Amazing world to explore. Hundreds of amazing mods and two decent expansions also.
-
Loved the PvP although I think the whole franchise took a downhill turn when the expansions came on. Also loved the 15k prestige armor pieces, guild mechanics and 8-slot skill system.

YOU DEFEATED! A unique experience. Hard but fair with a extremely precise combat system that rewards patience and timing. An extremely memorable game thanks to a great art style, boss encounters that leave you shaking with adrenaline and a supremely lonely world. Communicating with other players only via emotes and written notes on the ground it makes for a very interesting coop and pvp experience. The PC release fixes Dark Souls bad frame rate issues too and makes the game look gorgeous when some horsepower and DSfix is thrown at it.
-
Loved sneaking around finding information/codes/extra items. Also the number of twists and turns in the story is great. Plus multiple endings. The world is cool too.
-
Female Shepard for the win, thanks to amazing voice work by Jennifer Haley. Good story with a asshole bad guy (Saren) and powerless authorities (the council) gripped me by the balls. This shit hit me like a bolt of lightning.
-
Slick animations, insane cutscenes, smooth gameplay, tons of unlockable weapons, costumes and moves make Bayonetta a masterpiece.
-
Internet spaceship crack. Losing in PVP does matter. Also if you like drama then this game is for you.
-
GODLIKE!
-
Overlooked gem, I love the fiction, voice overs and it looks pretty good even today. Having to position my troops to take advantage of terrain was kinda new at the time.
-
Improved everything from the original Mass Effect except the overall story. Not perfect, some things, like the watered down rpg/loot mechanics sucked balls. Also what the fuck is up with the Miranda booty shots and some of the romance culminations are simply ridiculous, almost as bad as in Dragon Age.
-
Shodan is a great villain. Amazing atmosphere that is mostly achieved via great sound effects and notes scattered in the environment.
-
-
Good RTS game set in my favorite fictional universe? Yes, please! Great close combat kill animations and the best intro movie of any game ever.
-
MMMMOOOOOONNNNSTTTEEERRR KIIILLLL!
-
The number of casualties in sieges and bridge crossings borders on the ridiculous. My favorite of the Total War series.
-
Great, tactical combat. Dudes drenched in blood during cutscenes is totally hilarious.
