My Favorites
Listed in alphabetical order; I like them all for different reasons, and can't compare them to each other.

I only play the Japanese version with the Project Nemo fan translation. Great music; good twist; very difficult game.
Short but sweet. That first story cutscene breaks my heart.
Great music; good story; very fun. Young fighter pilots learn that war is bad.
I'm terrible at RTS, but I still sank countless hours into this as a kid. Never beat the Joan of Arc campaign.
Simply classic.
One-of-a-kind. The mind-bending spatial puzzles become scarcer as the game goes on, but I still love this one.
Makes me laugh, smile, feel smart, and feel dumb.
The game so nice I bought it twice!
A guilty pleasure. FVGK the walking tank level.
Occasionally funny; kind of scary; had a blast.
That Errant Signal video put it best: it's like being a kid smashing toy cars together.
The JRPG supergroup game. Music, story, art style: incredible.
So much fun! Not a fan of the final boss.
Rolling start!
Not very scary, but I had a great time. Some good psychological horror, and I like the twist.
A childhood favorite! Excellent music, spooky atmosphere, epic climax.
Classic lived-in world design, and open-ended approaches to your objective, beyond just the first level.
Mods are a must. One of my comfort games, in which I've spent over seven hundred hours.
I'm still bad at RTS, so I usually treated this game like a sandbox with totally broken custom games.
Need I say more?
I'm terrible at this, but I love everything about it. Very campy, music gets me pumped, too fast in the best way.
Hammer-ons and pull-offs are too hard. Even though I can play guitar, I still play this every so often, since I can't summon up a band to play with on a moment's notice.
A great sequel. Still can't beat Free Bird on Expert.
I teared up a little at the end. Boppin' music.
Emotionally intense. Not a hard game, but I felt my heart strings pulled.
The best superhero game.
Unique gameplay, great music, campy fun, climactic final level.
The best Iron Man game never made (with the expansions.)
My first Zelda game. Drown the monarchy, and let the people prosper.
My go-to game as a kid.
Made me cry a few times. Brilliant theming.
Love me some chaos.
Great music; good twist; pretty fun. I even love the rover and its mostly empty planet levels.
Another game with a great soundtrack. Not very good at it, but I love it all the same.
Great music again!
Too much bloom, but otherwise beautiful. I don't hate the swimming. Some of the best music in the entire series.
Maybe too much content; slime might be OP. I play the botched WiiU port of the 3DS version, but somehow I still love it.
Had a blast! Great music; the monsters look and sound great; every weapon I tried was fun. I wish the tracking were more fleshed out and didn't rely on the fireflies.
I did shed a tear at the end, despite myself. Navirou ain't that bad.
Beautiful; I love the puzzles and their theming.
Short and sweet. I love me a transforming car.
Hours of fun as a kid, and one of my first modding experiences.
OFF simply is.
Beautiful in every way. I'm sure I teared up once or twice.
I love a game with unorthodox melee combat.
Another heart-string-puller. Maybe the perfect game for me.
Mostly, I love the final extra trail in the first game. Second game made me mad a few times. Haven't played the third.
My childhood comfort game. Doesn't hold up so well, but I still love it.
Gold was the peak of Pokémon for me; the detailed sprites and vibrant colors blew my mind as a kid.
This is all I wanted out of a new Pokémon game. Fun, wholesome, and the remixed soundtrack is pretty good.
I love the moody atmosphere. Despite being so short, I got a lot of mileage out of it.
I love a game with unorthodox platforming.
I love everything about this game. Another one that's only as long as it needs to be.
Using the engine from Hulk: Ultimate Destruction makes this game much more fun than it has any right to be. I like the story twist too.
I prefer the Wii version and it's light-gun-style gameplay. Campy in all the right ways, and it ramps up perfectly.
Got this one by mailing in box tops. Still a good time.
Steam says I've played this for over 250 hours; I was sure it'd be more.
The music alone would have won me over. Probably teared up at the end.
The combat sucks, especially against the green mech suits. Still a lot of fun, and often funny.
Bought this when it came out, and was not disappointed! The tribal and city stages are miserable, but I still come back to it every so often.
I never owned it as a kid, and only got to play at a friend's house. It's still incredible in every way.
EA can bite me. Pandemic knew how to make a Star Wars game.
Just the Wii version: motion controls are fun :)
The story is awful, Luke Skywalker's voice actor is hilariously bad. I love this game.
Not as polished as Jedi Outcast, but you start with a lightsaber this time, so that's nice.
The best Star Trek game... except for the sequel maybe.
Kickin' music; hard as nails; Sonic wishes his games were this fast.
Rhythm game nirvana.
A faithful adaptation of the platforming from Prince of Persia into a 3D environment.
Some of the music is awful, it's broken worse than a Triple-A Game on release day, and I love it.
Empathy, the game.
Telltale peaked early. I teared up a few times.
