Mass Effect (first one).

Max Payne 3 (I know it was this year, but something about this game hooked me like nothing I have played before).

I'm probably gonna go with the games that have had the biggest impacts on me. That means that might not hold up compared to todays standards, but they meant everything for me back in the day.

Medievil (The PS1 game)

Uncharted 2 (Best action/adventure game ever made!)

GTA: Vice City (That game had a huge influence on my musical taste)

this gen would be

in no order

(1) assassins creed 2

(2) Mass effect 2

(3) asuras wrath

Wow, I've been thinking about this all day and I just can't do it. But I want to. Since the title is "your top 3" I'll go with the games that I hold dearest because of their influence on me.

Final Fantasy VI

Unreal Tournament

Mass Effect (the first)

NCAA Football 2006

Battlefield 1942

Pokemon Blue

My brother and I play the Army-Navy game on NCAA Football '06 every Thanksgiving. I still cannot play defense.

BF1942 was my first experience with online play. Endless hours were spent storming Omaha Beach.

Pokemon Blue because Pokemon Blue. I think this may have been the first game I ever really played. My gameboy color still works!

Dark Souls

Ocarina of Time

Shadow of the Colossus

Honorable mention goes to No One Lives Forever series.

Tough choice but something like

Shadow of the Colossus

Metal Gear Solid

Resident Evil 4

those are the first 3 that come to mind so I am gonna go with my gut

• Mario Galaxy 2
• Final Fantasy XII
• Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening

1: Unreal Tournament ---- 2: Half-Life 2 ---- 3: Skyrim

MGS1

MGS4

Mass Effect 2

1. Starcraft

2. Legend of Dragoon

3. Super Mario World

Shadow of the Colossus

Journey

Mass Effect 2

Can't remember if I posted in this. If I did it's probably changed.

Deus Ex

Mass Effect 3

The Walking Dead

Annoys me a bit that 2/3 of those came out this year, but what-thefuck-ever. Although, 'Mass Effect 3' should really be the whole trilogy, since ME3 only had such an impact on me because I was so invested thanks to the great ME2 and the fantastic ME1.

Scrabble

From the perspective of possibility space: -

Halflife : - For redefining the FPS and moving things beyond the Doom model.

Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines: -Leveraging Valves facial tech to really breathe life into their NPCs.

The Sims: - The AI and how they act autonomously if left to their own devices.

Mega Man X

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

Capcom vs SNK 2

1. Jet Set Radio Future

2. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

3. Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (I know, I'm old...)

1. Banjo-Kazooie.
2. The Sims.
3. GTA Vice City.

1. Freelancer

2. The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind

3. Tales of Symphonia

I've tried to post in this bloody thread a half dozen times. F*** it:

• Gokujou Parodius
• Space Harrier II
• Mega Man X

I know I could pop in any one of those tomorrow, beat it soundly and have a damn fine time doing it. They're certainly not the deepest, most graphically impressive, rewarding or finely polished games out there, (Well, I guess Mega Man X is held in pretty high regard.) but they are definitely very video-gamey, and I like my video games video-gamey.

Oh man, good for you for choosing Mega Man X. I love that game; it might be among my top 5 most played games on the SNES.

Just to prove it, as much to myself as to anyone here, I just ran through Space Harrier II:

Bam! Final screen. That's me, messed up the initials cause I was so hyped up even after the credits: 22 million, 470 thousand, 200 points, 11 extra lives remaining. Hadn't played in years. Not my best run, I do remember that if you get enough extra lives, they eventually roll over and disappear. F*** you Dark Harrier! Fantasy land is safe once again, even if Space Harrier is worried that someone else appearing with "the power" portends terrible things. Evidently they'll never come to pass since this was the final game in the series, unless you count the spin-off Planet Harriers.

Admittedly, it's a pretty easy game, and you get just about that many points just by finishing the game anyway. I've still never killed all the Neo Tomos either in the stage or in the boss rush. They run away so bloody fast.

3. Ocarina of Time

2. Fallout 3

1. Chrono Trigger

1. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
2. Mass Effect
3. Saint's Row The Third

1. Bioshock

2. Red Dead Redemption

3. Persona 4

1. Skies of Arcadia (Legends)

2. Shadow of the Colossus

3. Metroid Prime

The Legend of Zelda,

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time,

Super Mario Bros. 3,

1) Persona 4

2) Final Fantasy VI

3) Persona 3: FES

1) Metal Gear Solid 3

2) Shadow of the Colossus

3) Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Straight from my list:

1. Portal 2

2. The World Ends with You

3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Take this with a grain of salt, since the order of my list often goes in flux.

1. Read Dead Redemption ( Best game I have ever played hands down, god I hope they make another, also the only game I beat, sold, got again and beat it twice)

2. World of Warcraft

3. Star Wars Republic Commando( first game I remember beating as a kid)

Dragon Age: Origins

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Final Fantasy VII

Metal Gear Solid

Mafia

Oblivion

Gears of War 2

Halo Combat Evolved

Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal Series

Wow, this is tough. Errm:

Uncharted 2, Portal 2 and the Resident Evil remake.

Yoshi's Island

Shadow of the Colossus

Halo 3

If I was to extend it to top five I would add Red Dead Redemption and Portal 2, honestly switch any of the 3 with those 2 and I would still be happy with the list. Limiting yourself to three is a bit silly anyway, there are probably at least 10 other games I like just as much as those mentioned in reality, but if forced I guess this list is fine.

1. LOZ: OOT

2. Eternal Darkness

3. Okami

1. Super Mario Bros 3

2. Heroes of Might and Magic 3

3. Mass Effect 2

Final Fantasy X, Mass Effect 2... not sure about number 3. Would be many many tied

1.) World of Warcraft

2.) The Walking Dead

3.) Mass Effect 2

I don't remember if I replied to this thread but it's easy.

Super Metroid, The Longest Journey, and Portal.

Hmmmm

-Okami

-Final Fantasy 9

-Dragon Age: Origins

I did reply to this thread some time ago, but my choice is different now.

Doom 2 (same)

Planescape: Torment (same)

Dark Souls
