Only list one game per franchise, I think that will makes things more interesting. Other than that there are no rules. Don't feel pressured to list or number them in any particular order if you don't want.
The Secret Of Monkey Island: My all-time favorite graphic adventure. I was addicted to this game and loved every minute of it!
The only reason this is so low because it has motion controls and no game pad option which limits how it can be played (meaning it probably won't ever get a port).Having played it on Dolphin with a 360 pad, it's actually fairly easy to handle, you can map basically all the needed motion controls to all the extra buttons. Even using the second analog for basic pointer controls works well enough that with actual work done to the game it'd be fine.

Benji-kun, what's with the struck through games?I started with a bigger chunk of games, paired them down by deleting close to half through comparing them to what I know will survive any set of cuts (the five at the top mainly plus a Civ) until I had a real solid feeling fifteen-ish then I picked the list of ten I was okay with. But left the other five there just struck out as "runner ups/honorable mentions." The games are listed in chronological order.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3The revert literally changed everything.
THPS HD making the revert paid DLC is the funniest part of that disaster.
(Also, the online for this on PS2 still worked and had two other people playing as of 2013.)

Benji: Tell me how to play Xenoblade on Dolphin with a Dual Shock 3. :doge(https://i.imgur.com/n5pGpzI.jpg)
A lot of people regard 3 highly, IIRC. But if you were going to get 2 I think 2 X-box is the way to go.
Been a while since I've heard people bickering about the "best version" of those.
2 was on Xbox? Damn. But that means taking out the Xbox. DC it is.2X. It's the first two games combined with a few new maps, it also increases all the graphics and stuff. Even more so than DC, and plus you actually have enough buttons to play it with. Treyarch did it just like they did the 2 DC up-port.

Really. I had a lot of fun with that game. Solid arcade shooting mechanics and I enjoyed the aesthetic and music a lot.
How did I forget the GAWD aka SSX3? Ssx tricky as well :lawd

Looking at other lists and thinking about stuff makes me realize how much I left out. Stuff like Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, Windjammers, Beach Spikers, Gunstar Heroes, Super Monkey Ball, Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate, Sengoku Basara 2 (Really just about all of them), Senran Kagura (lulz), Contra, BAYO-FUCKIN'-NETTA 1 AND 2, etc.
I realize more and more with time that I might truly be the only one who preferred JSRF to JSR.
Both are great games, though.
:confused really? Thought it was the opposite.
JSR still plays great. I just love how JSRF is like a weirdo hip version of your SM64 type 3D platformer.
I couldn't even finish Grandia 3. :-\Never clicked with me the same way Grandia did. :yeshrug
Just playing, breh. At least we can agree the rest that came after sure as shit didn't stack up.

4's story about Child Abuse was the only good thing to happen from 4.I like Room of Angel from the OST. Pretty corny in a not written by a native speaker/translated kind of way, but nonetheless. The Shadows of the Damned soundtrack has a couple songs like that as well.
SMAC/SMAX. :rejoice
The best Sid Meyer title. So good it got a GURPS campaign on it. :lol
I don't really want to get into it(I did so too much back in my old GAF days) so I'll just keep it simple and sweet: I thought Galaxy was too easy compared to 64 and Sunshine overall, at the time it going more linear when my love for 3D Mario was due to some nonlinearity irked me, I hate the purple comet system, and what was there didn't really do it for me.
Galaxy 2 absolutely surprised me in how it ironed out some of my issues with the first, and I found it's level design and gameplay in general to be an improvement. I love Galaxy 2 while finding the first to be a good game but a step back. I'm very much in the minority on not thinking Galaxy was all that great and I understand that, and don't have issues with preferring it over 64. At the end of the day it does feel like a different style of Mario game, so it all depends on preferences.
Something about Mario Galaxy's gameplay and most of the aesthetic just really turned me off of it, but I can get why people like it.

I see.

I think it's the best looking Mario game ever, even including Yoshi's Island. That game in is A E S T H E T I C A L.Quote(http://orig05.deviantart.net/08d3/f/2013/036/5/c/mario_fullhd1_by_czaros94-d5twy46.png)

1080p 60fps collection on Switch which give me the BIGGEST boner.
What. I listed it as number 4.
I really love Galaxy. LIKE A LOT. This post. :lawd I REALLY love Mario Galaxy and it would be my number 3 game if Nintendo ever made a non waggle version. I don't think Mario will get as good as Galaxy ever again.
God of War IIIThis is a funny series for me too. Because you think the first one or the third one usually for one or more of these reasons. But for the scale, design and plot I love II so much more. It goes balls out in Greek lore and references, it fixes all the Gods by making them total manipulative jerkasses unlike the first game which even with a plot centered around it only really lets Ares be so and leaves Kratos semi-justified rather than just as bad as the rest, it has a completely nuts plot that holds together despite multiple trips through time with no plot holes, and the scale of some of those setpiece shots are amazing even on PS2. Like the fucking horses, oh my god. And I knew III could never live up to the ending of II even though it almost seemed it was going to. That fucking ending of II. And the DVD extras with Cory Barlog. :heart :heart :heart I'm still convinced he was like, ha, no way I can actually pull that war off, see ya guys I'm gonna make Mad Max with the Just Cause guys instead, good luck.

4's story about Child Abuse was the only good thing to happen from 4.Anything Yamaoka worked on automatically has at least one redeeming quality thanks to his soundtrack. Homecoming was a bad game with a good ost, for example. Listen to the Downpour ost after he was gone. :shaq2
Silent Hill Shattered Memories is one of my favorite Wii games.
Also with the mix of retro and modern titles on these lists it'd be useful for people to say which version of Doom they mean.Let's be real Tasty, what other version could they possibly be discussing?
I kind of feel like it's a serious moral failing if you don't have a Civilization game somewhere on your list.

on the other hand, it's heartening to know that i'm not the only dork out there who used to listen to those silent hill vocal tracks nonstopused to?

Civ is a turn based strategy game.
Lego StarWars 2 (lol)no lies, game is a 9/10, though The Complete Saga gets the nod for my top x list because not only does it include all the first game they fixed the vehicle levels from that one so they play like the ones in 2
Wait, you write all that garbage but yet you've also claimed that Gravity Bone might be the greatest game ever made.Blendo kicks ass, you play Quadrilateral Cowboy?

Theme Hospital. Yes. I really used to like Molyneux games.Well, they used to be good. Also, fuck littering and heating in that game.
Speaking of things I have a ton of keys for...Cook, Serve, Delicious! Apparently been in ten plus bundles.I'd jump straight to the second one if you want to try it out, it looks like there's going to be a lot more content and they even revamped a lot of how progression was handled, which is the only problem I ever had with the game.
The sequel is releasing soon! http://store.steampowered.com/app/386620/Cook_Serve_Delicious_2/
I feel like I'm going to, like the first game, wind up buying this at launch just because I've talked to the guy on GAF more than a desire to actually play it immediately. :lol
I didn't even know Chubigans when I first played through it, I just got it on a Steam Sale (back when they were worthwhile and actually featured non-Early Access niche gems on their front page :lol :'( ). If you don't buy the spam email filter there's some spam emails referencing old BOMBA threads.
Also if any of y'all decide to play it, try using the keyboard, it's a lot more fun trying to remember the key quirks for each different recipe than it is to just use a controller.
Blendo kicks ass, you play Quadrilateral Cowboy?I have it, have not, really really should, it's only 5-6 hours or so. I admit being slightly turned off by its larger scope compared to most of his other works.
piece of♥♥♥♥♥♥that made me♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥off back when there was no ratings and stupid steam moderators would say that critics are better than players, what a ♥♥♥♥-1oad of bu11-s4it like these developers are
This is quite possibly the worst excuse for a game I have ever encountered. The game consists of about 10 different rooms, each taking about a minute to get through and suddenly out of nowhere you're hit with a The End sign and a bunch of walkthrough credits with comments about the great decisions they made and how they decided on them. These great decisions are along the lines of weird random jump cuts that change the entire scenario for no reason. There's also a room with displays of a bunch the game models and animated GIF video timelapses of screenshots of their creation. How impressive is that?
Also, there's a scene at a wedding where the characters randomly start rising up towards the ceiling. The developer notes say this was a bug, that they left in because it was so much better. Um, excuse me. This just proves how little effort they put into the game. Find a bug? Fix it? Nah. Let's just say it makes the game better. The game is practically on rails. I played it twice and nothing I did changed anything in the game beyond the room I was in.
I recommend buying it if you want to see possibly the worst game ever. It cost £4 and for some reason has a very high metascore of 88. I have also heard real game reviewers saying it's a brilliant game. I'm not really sure what's going there, but it's clearly something shifty that needs to be looked at.
Let's say you find this game on Steam for a dollar, and you're thinkin', "Hey, this seems kind of neat. Those reviews make it look interesting, too." Even at one dollar, this game is still a wretched mess of pretentious insignificance. The gameplay is horrid, the unique visuals tire very quickly, and there's no enjoyment to be had out of this.
The rating via metacritics was probably based on the opinion of the developer's mother and spouse for f*ck sake. It's just a load of kiss ♥♥♥ crap.
It's shorter than a midget's as$hole.If you blow it through it's less than 10 minutes.I had to play this twice just to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong or avoiding anything crucial.And then I played once more with additional commentary - it made me even more of a unsatisfied towards the entire game from how carelessly thrown together it seems to be based on how the comments were written. I literally kept thinking in my head 'This has to be a f*cking joke' once I saw "The End" and game related credits in the muesem full of generated people in bundles of three that only consist of three different character models spammed throughout the entire location and some things regarding airplanes. Because yeah- gotta add some flying related thing for the sake of adding depth to the title "Thirty Flights of Loving" other than you having a romance for some b*tch that almost killed your best man.
Basically the game is literally contsructed based on mistake after mistake, yes sometimes imperfections add charm, but in this case it just seems like they were simply too lazy to bother fixing the issue and they decided to cover it up thoughtlessly. It was just like "Oh ..sh!t the crowd generator is causing peope to float in the wedding scene!?! That's alright! Let's just add some blurry effects while the player drink off the bottles while everyone else is dancing- and make the player assume they're so drunk that they can no longer correlate reality from alcoholic delusions!Why?Because it's ARTSY and adds a NARRATIVE touch in the game!!!"
My worst gaming experience ever if this can indeed be called a gaming experience. I hardly doubt. The Critic Reviews on Metacritic must be paid, because no one normal can give this s*** 80% above. This is really sad, because it destroys the whole purpose of scoring. Fortunately, the makers cannot bribe us gamers, so the User Score represents the real score.
Anyone wishing to get headache or masochists should buy this, because those fast flashing scenes will really cause you headache. My recommendation for all others, save your money and do not support creators of this "piece of software".
pretentious wank for indiebum artgame wannabe tryhards
why are so many indie devs terribleyes yes delicious hatred :rejoice
please just make better games
On the upside, Molyneux's only credit on that is for "Moral Support" :lol
He did do Theme Park though. But he was working on the Magic Carpet games (which lets be honest is really one game and an expansion pack) rather than Hospital.
I think people often forget that Bullfrog and Origin and stuff used to be multiteam development houses before EA crushed them to death. Hell, EA itself used to be that way. Them giving out their back catalog on Origin for free and putting that one mega pack in the one GOG sale where you got all their 80s and early 90s DOS stuff for like $8 has only reminded me how far they fell into the franchise assembly line hole around the end of the PS1 era and debut of The Sims. (Ultima excluded :lol)
There's an open-source semi-update available that plays nicer with modern resolutions and file saving and such: http://corsixth.com/
Apparently EA's given away Theme Hospital on Origin three times in the last two years, so...keep an eye out I suppose. GOG puts it up for like $2 ever so often too. (For anyone interested, not necessarily you two.)

Not from my understanding. In pre-production they weren't really sure how it would fit within the Silent Hill universe yet (if at all) and approached it as more of a side story, hence a lot of the different concepts we hadn't seen other SH games. Early in development it became Silent Hill 4. I have no idea if it was rushed out the door or not.
The idea that it was a totally new IP transformed into SH4 midway through development is more of a community fan-fiction that grew out of a small grain of truth.
These are the games I spit out when people ask me that question though

This is true. Was always supposed to be in the silent hill universe, even if not a direct sequel.

So while it's true it wasn't supposed to be a Silent Hill 4, it's also true that it was always made with Silent Hill in mind, and not just a new horror game from Team Silent with the Silent Hill name slapped onto it.

Chrono, it says right in the rules only one game per series :hitler
- Red Dead Redemption - Sceneman and I used to ride out and regulate on the regular. A fantastic game which proved Rockstar could still put out a relevant OWG after the oscar-worthy-writing-bullshit fiasco of GTA IV
- GTA III - defined a new genre
- Zork II - cut my teeth on this on the Apple ][, opened my mind to transportative, interactive experiences, I learned to type so I could play this game better
- Klonoa - my first 2.5D platformer; simple but challenging platform mechanic
- Saints Row 2 — While 3 was awesome, 2 had the balls to really up the previous game's theme, modify the environment, improve existing gameplay without losing the atmostphere
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Infocom) - humor and a sense of place in the novel's universe - glorious
- Lode Runner - another Apple ][ experience which blew my mind; I did a fanfic comic of it before I knew what fanfic was
- Crackdown - fuck the sequel, this game was a consistent, well-implemented, drop-in drop-out co-op, modern take on the platformer, rendered as an OWG, as a launch window title on 360 — amazeballs
- Rock Band 2 - Fixed the broken shit from RB1, fantastic tracklist, featured improvement across the board, best local multiplay experiences I've ever had
- BULLY - a remarkable clinic by a minor studio for its big-brother on how to adapt the OWG to a setting with minimal violence, integrated storytelling, organic playable area growth, and improved everything over its predecessors
