They may not always be the best, but they're games that hold a place in my heart for some reason or another. They're not in any particular order, although I admit that Persona 4 is probably one of my favorite games ever. (in before Endurance Run!)
"Rawrrr! BEAR-SONA!"
For my money, almost every bit better than any Zelda game.
One of the best video games in existence teamed up with it's sequels = the best disc in video games.
The perfect game.
An awesome platformer, hands down.
Best Board Game Video Game ever.
The DS version is the definitive version. Better than any Final Fantasy.
Who wouldn't want this on their list?
or as I like to call it, "Espacio de la Muerte." I don't care it that's wrong, btw.
I would give my kidney to have this series remade with modern graphics and updated controls. keep the voice acting though, don't change a damn word. This was my first really cinematic game, Final Fantasy VII be damned. This game had voice acting! And was infinitely more interesting. Tiesel Bonne <3
It was hard to pick one game, since they're mostly the same game but with improvements, but City Folk kind of pissed me off. So I just went with the whole series.
All levels, all items. Suck it. Your tourney types are ruining a perfect game.
I never replayed one game so many times.
Specifically the remake on Gamecube, but then again, that live action opening will be remembered forever.
Doooooo dododooooooo doo-dodoooooo do-do-dooooo
I still say this is one of the best looking video games out there. Sure, not technically, but I could just watch videos of this game for days.
"What's that Sandvich? Kill zem all?!"
"Guys?"
Fuck it ,they're all good. (4's the best so far.) (Also, I take that back, Homecoming was fucking terrible)
I also liked it when it was called "Tetris Attack"
One of the best games on the SNES
A better version of one of the best games on the SNES
Probably the best straight-forward Kirby experience.
This game blew my effin' mind, man.
So far, the best Pokemon in the franchise, and not just because it's the most recent. It really changed a lot of mechanics for the better, and had tons of polish and content. This will likely be overtaken when the remake of Gold and Silver comes out because those games are almost as good as Platinum without all the bells and whistles. Update: Adding SoulsSilver and Pokemon Black/White.
Guilty pleasures, anyone?
What the Eff? I just lost 150 hours of my summer playing this game. What is WRONG WITH ME?!
Frying Pans make everything better.
There's a good chance I'm going to own 4 copies of this game at some point in the relative future. Update: as of 6/10/2011 I own this on 360, PC, DS, and my phone.
See also: I love Pokemon games and each new one is better.
Silver was one of my favorite games on Gameboy and this is a better version. Makes sense to me.
Might as well add the original here while I'm at it.
So far both ME's are amazing for their own reasons and ME3 looks to continue the trend. I'll update this at some point, I'm sure.
With all the other Kirby's on this list, it's no surprise this is on here.
Better than the original in every way. What amazes me most about Dead Space 2 is how they manage to squeeze every little bit of tech out of the 360 to make one of the best looking games, and smoothest running games. I also love the sudden transitions into real-time cinematics. It's a bloody brilliant game, to be sure.
When I pick up my jaw off the floor, I might have something to say.
I don't know why, but this game just really appeals to me. There's a lot of interesting philosophical things going on here, and the gameplay is pretty solid. I do love me a good turn-based JRPG. It took me a little while to get into it, but now that I am, I love it.
