Here's a list of the 5 best games I've played thus far. I'm only putting one game per franchise.
 
5. Grand Theft Auto 4
Grand theft auto 4 was an amazing game and one of my favorites. The game had fun and addictive gameplay, an awesome story with choices that mattered, and fun multiplayer I still play with my friends on Xbox Live. I'm still pissed that a ton of people hate this game, it's a great game.
 
4. Okami
At first I hated Okami, the games started a bit slow and the game had a 20 min long into! but after playing though the game a bit more I found the game to be amazing. Draw crap to solve puzzles and fight stuff was cool and inventive.
 
3. Jak 3
Jak 3 is so good I go back today and still find the game fun and challenging. Being the last true game in to story, I thought the story did a great job at closing up the epic story. The game is so fun and this way I wonder way platformers ain't as popular as then were before, after get infinite ammo I went crazy with the game.
 
2. Persona 3 FES
Although Persona 4 is an amazing game I think P3 Fes is a much better game, P3's story had great twist and turns, the story was full of deaths and betrayals and at the end the game almost made me cry.
 
1. Shadow of the Colossus 
Shadow of the Colossus was amazing and my favorite game of all time, the game was different so different that I still can't find any game like it. The 1 on 2 gameplay was fun just a boy and his horse vs a huge monster.
