Why_So_Serious's Top 30 Games of All-Time

So I saw a few others making this so I thought maybe I should put my two sense in and make my own list. First off,  you should know that I haven't played a plethora of classic games so my list won't have a lot of old old games like from the Genesis or anything on there. I think it goes back as far as one or two NES games is my classic gaming career and then N64 and so on.  I know the top will look kinda dull at first but bare with me. And here....we.......go!


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

30. Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PS)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  This game is pretty much in here because of nostalgia. Now that is not to say that it isn't a great game because this is a pretty good platformer. The humor is great and the level design, while basic, is pretty fun to fool around in. The character models are pretty well done for a Playstation game and this game was pretty early for its time. I really liked how they used the level system to collect crystals and diamonds this time around instead of just beating it then advancing to the next level like in the original.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

29. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow (GB)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Everyone played Pokemon when they were younger. The game was a huge hit and an instant classic. The sheer enjoyment of just exploring the world and trying to "catch em' all" hooked adults and young kids. We all couldn't put it down. As one of my first handheld games this did a great number of things for my gaming career as well is peeking a little interest into being a gamer. The graphics weren't anything special but were still great for a GB game. We will all remember Pokemon in our lifetime.


_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

28. Devil May Cry 3 (PS2)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 After playing the original I went into buy this game one day on the used game shelf and had no idea what I had gotten myself into. The game was brutal. I had no idea it would be this hard. When a game's first boss is harder than some of the final bosses in other games you know your in for a ride. And what a ride it was. Once you got the hang of it the game is great. Dante is a great protagonist and the cutscenes are beautiful and funny. The gameplay is very fun. Even though  found it hard to upgrade all your weapons and get the necessary healing items I still enjoyed the game.


_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

27. Mario Kart 64 (N64) 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 When I was younger me and my friends used to play this game all the time. It was funny, enjoyable, had great multiplayer options, and it had MARIO! In my opinion this game pretty much paved the way for other racers today in its own obscure way of doing so. The tracks were great , there were just enough so you didn't get bored, and the gameplay was very enjoyable. Your goal was to win the race, BUT everyone could obtain pick-ups that could be used as a weapon to distract or slow down other drivers. Ah good times!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

26. Braid (Xbox 360 Arcade)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Funny story actually. I don't own this game. I played the whole game through on my friends 360 while staying with him one night. Hey had already beaten it so he helped out a little. The artistic style of this game is great. It's almost like your playing a game inside a painting. The ability to slow down time has been used before but this game really uses it well. The puzzles are great and challenging and require a lot of thinking. While people complained that the $20 price tag was too much for a pretty short game it didn't stop sells and it shouldn't stop you from trying this out.


Well there you have it. Stay tuned for Part 2 in the next day or so. Hope you all enjoyed and didn't disagree with me to much  =) !!!!!!

The Pokemon Gameboy games were incredible, they were so deep and complex to master but so easy to pick up and play.

I'm glad you put Braid on your list, but I probably would have put it higher.

I hate how all you people are making me consider doing one of these things. I know it'll drive me completely insane trying to decide on games and an order, but... I dunno. Someone talk me out of this. It won't end well.

I was contemplating about putting it up around 20, but decided I hadn't played it enough to put it higher. My list is always changing though so it might work its way up there eventually haha.

Your list is insta-fail because of Pokemon Red. BLUE FTW.

It was interesting to see the old Bandicoot on the list. I liked all of those games, but Spyro 2 defined PS1 platforming in my eyes. Braid wins, also.

I've only played one Spyro in my lifetime and really enjoyed it. I keep looking for them at my local flea market and used game stores but no one has any of them.

I gotta agree with ya on Spryo 2. That truly was the best PS1 platforming game in my opinion and I always preferred that franchise to Crash.

Yeah, there's just too many amazing games to decide from and I'm a very indecisive person. As soon as I make a list like this I know I'll regret not putting some game on.

$20 for the 26th best game of all-time sounds like a bargain to me. Games should not be criticised on length, which is the laziest criticism going - they should be criticised on quality.

Well this was about 10-12 hour span or longer. We were over there all day and played that one game. Haha it was great though.Alex_V said:

It's in my top 30 games so I'm not giving it any criticism. It's just a thought.

Don't worry.  I haven't even begun with my lists.  There's a lot of words that rhyme with "games".  = D

Only because I didn't feel it should be. It's a great game but I got more enjoyment out of the other games ahead of it.
