1. Star Wars: Galaxies - An Empire Divided
Now please don't look and see this game and totally discredit me. I admit SWG is not really a good game but it was my first MMO and I loved it back then (long before SOE had the bright idea to gut it and make it a horrid WoW clone in space). It was the first time I had been able to interact with thousands of people at once and I just had a ton of fun playing it. If I had to play it today, I'd probably despise this game, but from the memories and friends I have left from it, it deserves to be on this list. |

2. Chromehounds
This game I bought by total chance as it came out on my birthday. I had money burning a hole in my pocket and saw a game had just been released with giant mechs, what more could you possibly need? Well it turns out this was a very good decision, I played it a ton and its still one of my favorite 360 games. |

3. The World Ends With You
For years I avoided most JRPGs like the plague. They looked stupid to me and just didn't seem like anything I'd care about and on top of that I knew no one who played them; that was until I TWEWY came onto the scene. I heard many reviews raving about how amazing it was and it looked different and fun in a time where I had no games I wanted to play. Out of boredom I purchased TWEWY and ever since I have been madly in love with this game. Character, story, style, you name it I love it in this game. |

4. Mass Effect
Another amazing Bioware title, I love everything from the setting, to the characters, to the story, to the entire world of the game and above all it's a blast to play. There is no other console game that I've poured this much time an effort into with the single player, and I'd happily play through it again. Mass Effect definitely has it's far share of issues, but even they can't stop me from loving this game the way I do. |

5. Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition
This game for me is the definition of nostalgia. I poured hundreds of hours into it and was the first game I was "hardcore" about. It's probably the reason I'm a gamer today and I still love it just as much as I did when I first picked it up. Sadly, like an idiot, I traded this game away when I was very young without thinking and have regretted it for years, maybe it'll appear on the DSi if they ever add "virtual of console" of sorts? |

6. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
My favorite Zelda game hands down. I adore the art style and It's just so much fun to play. |

7. Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
Geowars is a fun little shooter and I play it constantly. It might not have a compelling story or any characters at all, but it certainly doesn't need them. Geowars is the perfect stress reliever for me and I love its style. |

8. Halo 2
This was my first experience on an Xbox or on Xbox Live and I fell in love with it right away. Halo: CE and Halo 3 were both good games, but Halo 2, in my opinion, is the best game of the series. This game has memories linked to it for me unlike any other game and I made more friends than I can count on it. |

9. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
It's the first game I played by Bioware and it quickly made them one of, if not my favorite developer. As a bit of a Star Wars nerd I absolutely love what they did with the series and its quite honestly my favorite story in the Star Wars Universe. This game sparked a love for RPGs in me that, until that point, I didn't know I had. |
