More games I love that I can accurately describe as some of my favorites, yet just one notch down from my top tier. I could play any one of these games again right now and enjoy it thoroughly, but I'm not quite so eager to do so that I have to restrain myself.
The games are listed in chronological order of release.
counting Keen 1 - 6 here
First Zelda game, second console game I owned (after Super Mario World). Still my favorite Zelda.
This just happened to be _the_ Bomberman game that I played. 4-players on SNES with multitap.
Defined the first-person shooter for me.
so strong, it's separate from Diablo II
First (console) RPG.
Counting all iterations of CS together here.
Best writing in a game.
so strong, it's separate from original Diablo
including Baldur's Gate 1
Counting FEAR 2 as well here.
mainly counting ME1, but also some ME2 and I guess ME3
Counting both 2012 and 2013 together here.
