This is probably one of the most basic and consistently asked question on shitty video game forums like NeoGAF LLC but given how small and intimate the community is here, I'm curious what games my favorite borians/boritos/boristas really enjoy.

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.

  • X-Com: Enemy Within
-Brutally difficult in the best kind of way and will force you to go through all of the stages of grief multiple times per campaign.  :lol Is maybe one of the most replayable games ever made; each campaign feels fresh and different by the end.  You never know who is going to rise to the occasion to save the day or which solider will miss a crucial shot, shit their pants and end up fucking over the mission. Losing your favorite units is genuinely painful but picking up the pieces and moving forward is rewarding in its own way. A special experience.
  • Witcher 3
-I've never enjoyed just being present in a video game world as much that of the Witcher 3 (my original game file is at 450 hours  :doge). I've wasted many weekend afternoons playing Witcher 3 and just riding around in the countryside. Some of the best video game characters ever. Top tier soundtrack. One of the best games of all time with undoubtedly some of the finest DLCs ever made.
  • Okami
-Charm through the roof. Amazing graphics. The HD version still looks superb. They nailed the controls and it is a joy to just explore the world and enjoy scenery. Soundtrack is one of the best ever.  Only real complaints for me are the low difficulty and shitty unnecessary Boss Gauntlet at the end.
  • Bloodborne + The Old Hunters
-I think this is Miyazaki's masterpiece. The added weapons in Old Hunters put it over the top. The fast combat and top notch art design make up for the lack of build variety for me. I also prefer the lore in BB to Demon or Dark Souls. Dark Souls 1+ Artorias of the Abyss is a close runner up.
  • Shadow of the Colossus
-I knew after just the first hour this would be one of my favorite games ever. The tone, music and scale just made this a unbelievable special game. The remake is one of my most anticipated upcoming titles.
  • Persona 3: FES
-Amazing characters, the most interesting and consistent story of the Persona games and a memorable soundtrack. Barely gets the nod over P5 for me but it is close.
  • Super Mario Galaxy
-One of the best OSTs of all time. The space theme allowed for them to get creative with the different worlds and levels. Could easily be swapped with Galaxy 2, they're on the same tier and both are fantastic.
  • Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
-Definitely a messy game with some uneven parts but the late game combat is intense and probably the best ever done in an open world game. BitterBlack Isle is top tier stuff.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
-Best dungeon in the series with Stone Tower Temple (although the rest of the dungeons are pretty underwhelming) and the transformations via masks are awesome. The almost constant impending doom gave the game a very different feel from most of the series. I really wish that transformation mechanic was carried over to later games. I should be able to transform into a Zora in BotW, god damnit.  :maf
  • Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition
-I still think this game is the king of the genre, though Bayonetta is close. After DMC2 dropped the ball, DMC 3 nailed the combat and had an interesting dynamic between Dante and his brother. Playing as Vergil  :lawd
 

A lot of my favorite 2D games just barely missed the cut, I think I prefer 3rd person 3D games at the end of the day. SMB3, Shining Force 2, Chrono Trigger, ALttP and Pokemon (Crystal was probably my favorite, not into the games as much anymore) were close. Also missing a lot of PC games. I've put a ton of time into Age of Mythology/Age of Empires II HD and also stuff like FTL and Civilization V but they didn't quite make the cut.  Also mostly SP games from me, mostly because I'd rather forget about all the hours I've wasted on COD4 MP or Destiny.  :doge

Rough, off-the-top-of-my-head list:

Super Mario Galaxy - Platforming perfection. So much fun, such great atmosphere, an outstanding soundtrack, Nintendo just hit this out of the park in virtually every way.

Fallout 3 & 4 - Yeah, they do play somewhat differently, but come on. As much as I do love the old Fallouts, the combination of Bethesda RPG formula with a post-apocalyptic world is basically everything I want in a game.

Planescape: Torment - Fantastic story, I could play this game over and over and never get tired of exploring all the little corners of this weird world.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines - Okay, the combat is pretty bad here, but I love the setting and atmosphere so much. It oozes style out of every pore and so many of the characters are so memorable.

Breath of Fire 3 - You combine magic stones to turn into a bunch of different kinds of dragons! BoF 4 is arguably better, and Dragon Quarter is very innovative and good, but 3 is the one that I will always come back to.

Sim City 2000 - The fourth iteration had more depth, but 2000 is the ultimate city-builder.

The Witcher 3 - Possibly the greatest RPG ever made. It's got such a well-crafted and believable world full of things to do, and I actually like Geralt as a character.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - The Sonic franchise peaked early and never will be anywhere close to this good again. Even as much as I love the early Mario games, I don't think there's a 2D platformer that I can replay endless like this one.

Metroid Prime - First-person Metroid?! But they did it and somehow did it incredibly well. Complaints about controls aside, the exploration and atmosphere that Retro put together here is nothing short of incredible.

Star Ocean: Second Story - I love this game and I will fight you over it.

If I really thought about it, I'd probably make a few substitutions, but this is probably pretty close. At the very least, ever game here is very high on the top 50.

That's tricky, as I like multiple titles in a series.

But let's go with:

(In no order)

1. Persona 3: FES
2. Parasite Eve 2
3. Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
4. Battlefield: Bad Company 2
5. Ninja Gaiden: Black
6. Marvel vs Capcom 2
7. Dead or Alive 2: Ultimate
8. Final Fantasy XII
9. Descent
10. Tomb Raider 2: The Adventures of Lara Croft

Honorable mentions that I'd include if wasn't limited to 10:

11. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations
12. Trauma Center: Under the Knife
13. Quake 3: Arena
14. Phantom Dust

Hmmmm... of all time? I dunno, I'd be better off doing by console, or by genre, or something.

Phantasy Star 2, Rez, and Star Ocean 2 are probably the best of the best for me, the others change so often.

1. Shenmue 1 and 2



I combine them because the experiences are so integral that it's impossible for me to separate them into different experiences and story line. The second one in particular though, is easily my favorite game. A provocative, philosophical, emotional, action-packed martial arts adventure epic that goes through 4 locations. It has it all. God tier ost as well.

2. Jet Set Radio



The greatest game not called Shenmue that Sega ever made. A skill-based platformer that forces experiementation and game mastery. I have mastered this game from front to back. 645's post on LTTP post on Neogaf is a fantastic summation on why this game is one of the GOATs that is better articulated in a way better than I ever could. Beaten this more times than I can count, considering trying to beat the world record speed run eventually. Plus, the OST. :lawd

3. Resident Evil 4



The best game ever made. Perfect pacing. Great replay value. Professional mode. Mercenaries. So many costumes. So many types of weapons and play styles. The amazingly hilarious lines. Playing Tetris with your items. Amazing animations. The coolest death animations ever in a game. Talking about it just makes me want to start up a new game now.

4. Super Mario Galaxy



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). Other than that, when I got this it was all I did. When I replayed it again, it was all I did. Any time I touch this game, it's all I can think of. It is truly a masterpiece and the best video game of the past ten years. OST can't be topped.

5. Street Fighter IV



Particularly Ultra. So many viable play styles, over 40 characters and yet good character balance, the first fighting game to make me want to get good at it in a legitimate way even though I've been playing fighters for decades. I love this game. I played over 300 hours of it in a year when no other genre could be satisfy me because nothing else could stack up. Of last gen, combining all SFIV iterations I've clocked maybe 400-500 hours into it. Incredible game.


6. Final Fantasy VIII.



I will fight you to defend this games honor. I love it to pieces in ways I can't describe. When I think of nostalgia and video games I think of Final Fantasy VIII. Contains my favorite game ost of all time within it. It's not what I consider to be the best in the series (that's XII) but whoo boy is it my fave by like, 500 miles.


7. Suikoden II



Among the best sequels ever made. A game that craftfly creaed the world of Suikoden and made it into connected universe. Suikoden II up there with SMB3 as one of the greatest sequels ever made and it does it nicely. It improves upon every single aspect laid out in the original and single-handedly created the legacy of what made the franchise as beloved as it is. A story of war, friendship, and hard times daddeh. It has cooking competitions, 108 characters, and amazing scenarios. Owns.

8. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night



Similarly to Final Fantasy VIII, I in no way feel this is the best CV. That goes to III. But much like with FFVIII, it's my favorite of its respective series. It topped the formula that Metroid created. It features beautiful, beautiful music and art. Every time I play it I'm enchanted. All time classic.

9. Grand Theft Auto III Trilogy



Might as well be one game. What else needs to be said? On PC, these remain all time classics. I'm not sure the same can be said for the console versions due to their dated mechanics.

10. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask



The best Zelda game IMO. Solidifying my amazing game taste.

Tetris: I can always pick up on play any version of this game (as long as it's decent...amazing that people can fuck up TETRIS) and play for hours.  Still the best puzzle game ever made.

The Secret Of Monkey Island: My all-time favorite graphic adventure.  I was addicted to this game and loved every minute of it!

Samurai Shodown II: Kept me coming back to the arcades and was my first Neo-Geo game.  I went absolutely insane when I found out that I was able to own this amazing title at home back in '96.  The game was two years old by this point, but I still pushed all the current stuff to the side to play this for hours and hours.

The King Of Fighters '98: Still the best and most perfect KOF out there.  Spent a good year and a half playing the shit out of this and dominating the competition. While I still enjoy the vanilla version, the updated '98 Ultimate Match is best version in my eyes.

Jet Set Radio: I loved everything about this game.  The game play was super-fun, but the visual aesthetic...that style...that music.  Man.  That was all me. 

Street Fighter IV: Easily my favorite game of the last generation.  I racked up hundreds of hours playing this on all the various platforms, from the 360, to the PC, to the 3DS, to the PS3, and even on iOS.   Ultra is the best version.  I prefer playing SFV now, but I can't put that game on my top 10 list.  At least not yet.

Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night: I was mesmerized by the beautiful graphics and amazing soundtrack as I explored Dracula's castle.  Easily my favorite 'metroidvania'.

Prince Of Persia: The original version found on PCs is my favorite.  I first played the Apple II version.  This game had a unique feel back in 1989 and fun, challenging game play.  I was never able to get into any of the sequels, however.

Street Fighter II: "Life-changing" is the best way to describe this game for me.  No other game had me so addicted and wanting to improve my skills.  It was a phenomenon at the time, and if you weren't around when this was big in arcades, you missed out on something special.  I don't have a particular favorite version of this game, actually.

Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers: Really it's all three Real Bouts (four counting Dominated Mind) that I love.  I'm a big Fatal Fury fan and these were the best games in the series.  Garou is awesome, but it just wasn't the same.  I really wish that a new Fatal Fury would come out, because I enjoy these games more than KOF.

Various runners-up:

The Secret Of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Street Fighter Alpha 2
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Bust-A-Move/Groove Dance And Rhythm Action

Which really just goes to show that "Top 10 All-Time" means a lot of really amazing games aren't going to make the cut.

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.

And then I continued the gag for Civ which has its own set of five runner-ups. (I, II, AC, IV and VI.)

THPS is one of those games where I loved it at the time but haven't played it since release so I can't accurately judge it anymore. Should get 1 and 2 for Dreamcast and 3 for ps2.

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.

Really.  I had a lot of fun with that game.  Solid arcade shooting mechanics and I enjoyed the aesthetic and music a lot.

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.

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.

The largest problem I have with 3 is that I don't think the maps/goals are as good as 1 or even 2 but the revert and general gameplay is such an improvement. 2X mostly solves the map issue, except for the fact that you play through the 2 maps first. Oh, and even the S controller is not really ideal with the lack of four top buttons.

Yes? It's been like, ported everywhere. :lol

Really? Product Number 03? :wtf

Really.  I had a lot of fun with that game.  Solid arcade shooting mechanics and I enjoyed the aesthetic and music a lot.

I dunno. It got repetitive really fast for me. Pretty graphics and I don't mind the tits-and-ass, but the "shooting mechanics" you laud did nothing for me. And I say that as a fan of arcade shooters like Galaga and the like.

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.

This is actually the more popular opinion. Much to my chagrin. Many think JSR is an outdated badly playing game and it pisses me off.

JSR still plays great. I just love how JSRF is like a weirdo hip version of your SM64 type 3D platformer.

Nope. People say JSR is shit after HD version came out.

Doing this is weird for me because I have a list I created a long time ago but I haven't really spent any time updating it with things from the last handful of years. A lot of it is a decade + old. Going back and looking through some old lists and sorting things around my first draft list looks something like this:


Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Super Metroid
Dark Souls
The Witcher 3
Half Life 2 (and episodes)
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Burnout Paradise
Devil May Cry 3
Mass Effect 2
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (1992)

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, but I still prefer the concise, self-contained style of this one to Breath of the Wild. Maybe in a few years once the dust has settled and I've done another playthrough or two for that game, I'll feel differently, but it's hard to top how much of an impact ALttP had on me in my formative gaming years. The spritework is incredible, the music as good as ever, and combined with the lore in the instruction booklet, I've never felt so compelled to explore a gaming world. While the overworld is small (even taking into account the Dark World) compared to other Zeldas, I feel it works in its favor. There's so much to do in every square of the map and it rarely recycles its tricks and gimmicks. My favorite Zelda ever.





Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995)

I count this as a Yoshi game despite its title.

Does 2D platforming get better than this? The other mainline Mario platformers might have tighter controls and higher speed, but there's something about ambling around Yoshi's Island collecting coins, opening doors, and groundpounding through fluff that's sheer joy. The graphical style has aged like fine wine, and the game is oddly emotional and "epic" at times (in a "Saturday Morning Cartoon" sort of way.) In that respect, it's a lot like Super Mario Galaxy - my proper choice for favorite Mario platformer.





Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (1999)

I'm not a huge strategy fan, but there's something special about Alpha Centauri. It feels like a work of art - the futuristic, creative vision of a singular person at the top of their game. Every faction leader feels so different, and the ongoing plot is so mysterious and powerful, it's hard not to get drawn in immediately. I can't really judge the gameplay since I haven't played many other turn-based strategies, but since it was my first I still find it simple to learn and hard to master, with a huge depth and freedom to approach any given situation in potentially hundreds of different ways.





Resident Evil 4 (2005)

RE4 was both my first Resident Evil game and my first M-rated game. What a way to start out, huh? Millions of words have been poured as praise on this game so I don't really have much to say here, other than this: looking back on it now, it's still astounding how much content and variety there is in the game. Dozens and dozens of unique, one-off areas that all seamlessly connect and draw you into its horrific world. Thinking about it, RE4 is the most "immersive" game on my list of favorites.





Super Mario Galaxy (2007)

Mario, distilled, and with grand epic flare to boot. It's crazy to think this came after Super Mario Sunshine, but on the other hand there was an entire half-decade between the two releases. Every minute of development time spent on this game was worth it. Like with RE4, there's so much content here. So many worlds and stars and bosses. The music and graphical style are absolutely impeccable, and the streamlining of platforming objectives (while still allowing for a bit of freedom here and there) attained the most-perfect balance in the series.

I don't mean to slog on Super Mario Galaxy 2, it's an absolutely fantastic game, and a bit more challenging, but I don't equate challenge with quality. On their own merits, I find the first Galaxy much more consistent in just about every area (art style, mechanics (fuck the Fluzzard), music, balance of open vs. linear, boss battles) and I also give points for the Rosalina storybook and general grander feeling of the original game. Galaxy 2 started out as a level pack, and it shows in some of its non-platforming related areas. I could be convinced Galaxy 2 is a better platformer, but I stand firm in my belief Galaxy is the better game.





The House of the Dead: Overkill (2009)

The House of the Dead is one of my favorite series ever, but this one wasn't even made by the original developers! It's also M-rated as fuck, with F-bombs, gore, vomit, incest, urination and the works. The graphics are janky but I feel it compliments the groundhouse style nicely, while the music is some of the catchiest of all time.

I give Overkill the nod over the original series for a few reasons: ridiculously satisfying shooting, the combo and upgrade system, and the ridiculous plot (which set a Guinness World Record for amount of "fuck"s in a single game) that still makes me chuckle to this day. Yes, the other games were great cheesy fun with lines that have gone down in gaming history ("Suffer like G did?" "They disturbed the loife cycle!"), but literally every aspect of Overkill clicked for me and elevated the game to more than the sum of its parts.





Pokémon SoulSilver (2010)

It was between Platinum, SoulSilver, White, and Moon, but I had to give credit to the remake of my pre-Gen 4 favorite. SoulSilver is a master class in how to remake a game. The mix of 2D and 3D graphics still look great to this day - even better than Black/White, which came out a year later. SoulSilver knew when to use 3D and when to stick to 2D, while with White it seemed like Game Freak were so excited about the third dimension they couldn't help putting it everywhere - jaggies be damned.

From a gameplay perspective, it was Pokemon, and SoulSilver's strengths lie in its world and how Game Freak added and updated it. Like some other games on my list, SoulSilver just has so much content. Two regions, 16 badges, the Safari Zone, the Gen 4 Battle Frontier, etc. Even the Pokeathlon was great! Where as usually those kind of side quests are super lame (see: Contests and Super Contests.) All told, HeartGold and SoulSilver probably have the greatest amount and variety of content in the series, even to this day.





Animal Crossing: New Leaf (2012)

The Animal Crossing series is the zen garden of gaming, and New Leaf was a stark improvement over City Folk. While I'll always have nostalgic, fond memories of the original GameCube game, New Leaf brought me back to the series in a huge way after I thought I was done with it. It's still Animal Crossing at its core, but it tweaked and improved on the city concept, added swimming/diving, brought back the island, and integrated with online seamlessly. Some of my favorite gaming memories are the two-week stretch after release when I'd play and the game would notify me someone from the Bore hopped online, and then sending messages to-and-fro. Those couple times four of us here went to the Island to catch beetles gives me warm fuzzies to think about. The prospect of having to reacquire all my items in a potential Switch version is daunting, but I'm still excited at the online upgrades they might do. If it can capture half of the online fun I've had with New Leaf, I'd consider it a great success.





Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (2014)

I'm not a pro player, so while Super Smash Bros. Melee is probably the better game mechanically, I'm choosing the latest and greatest for a word I've used a lot in this post: content. The amount of stages and characters here is off the charts, and the gameplay is still great - occupying a nice middle ground between Melee's sky-high skill ceiling and Brawl's casual party focus. It's easy to understate just how big an achievement I feel Smash 4 is. The graphics are 1080p 60 fps and ditched the dirty dishwater style Brawl had, making the characters and stages pop. The online is serviceable. It and Mario Kart 8 brought Nintendo into the DLC era in a major way, with several fan favorite characters returning - not to mention insane third-party picks like Cloud, Ryu and Bayonetta.

There's a crazy amount of modes, although I will knock the Wii U version here: Classic Mode on 3DS, and that game's Smash Run mode, are both improvements over the Wii U version's counterpart. That aside, while I find something to love in every Smash game, I can't ignore how massive or polished Smash for Wii U feels. It even finally introduced a character so fun to play it swayed me away from Luigi (my main since 64): Villager.





Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017)

The original release of Mario Kart 8 saw the series reach its apex as a kart racer. MK8 somehow balances all the crazy gimmicks added in the last few releases: from bikes in Mario Kart Wii, to paragliders and sub-propellers in Mario Kart 7, to its own huge gameplay twist with anti-gravity. It all flows together in any given track so that you're constantly engaged. It looked crazy gorgeous (even in 720p), the online was a dream, and the added 16 DLC courses (not to mention 200cc mode) were all done so, so, so ridiculously well. The drawback was that Battle Mode, long a staple in the series, was shockingly malnourished. Yes, you could pop balloons, but only on the actual race tracks that were not meant for it at all. And all it had was Balloon Battle.

MK8 Deluxe took the base game with DLC and completely revamped the battle mode. Now there's five to choose from - four returning modes (Balloon Battle, Shine Thief, Coin Runners, and Bob-bomb Blast) and the absolutely joyous Renegade Roundup (basically cops and robbers.) They're all crazy fun to varying degrees, but yeah, Renegade Roundup might just be my favorite. In addition to all that, it added purple sparks and double held-items, making this Mario Kart the full package. Finally, it cranked the resolution to a full 1080p (when docked.)

It was a little hard for me to choose between Mario Kart DS and the original Mario Kart 8, but Deluxe supersedes both. As someone who prefers battling to racing, MK8 Deluxe delighted me and I've already put over 45 hours into it. In a few months I may have even spent more time with it than Breath of the Wild.



Wish I could have found a place for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, The Evil Within, Tetris DS, WarioWare D.I.Y., or Mega Man X here, but I'm pretty satisfied with my choices.

The one per franchise is tough for me.

Super Metroid over Metroid Prime by a smidge.
Guild Wars 2 over GW1, though I think the first was a bit tighter.
Ico
Skies of Arcadia
Double Dash over the other Mario Karts
Diablo 2
Mario 64
Team Fortress 2
Final Fantasy 6
Tempest 2000


Notes: Witcher 3 may eventually replace something there, but I need to give it more time to see how long it lasts in my head. Wanted to put a sports game up there, but it was between NBA Jam TE, NBA Courtside 2 or NFL Blitz. None of those were quite good enough. Almost put Wind Waker up there. I am probably forgetting a SNES game that I loved but can't recall. Almost put up SSF2Turbo as my fighting game. That or Soul Calibur 2. SSX Tricky almost replaced Tempest 2k.

I feel like Goldeneye 64 should make the list due to the massive amounts of hours played in that game and the great level design. However, it is a victim of technological age, so I cut it.

Silent Hill 2
The GOAT Survival Horror game. I don't think it will ever be topped. And Fuckonami.

Mario 64
Hasn't really aged. Timeless. Still shit all over any other 3D Mario.

Sid Meier's Pirates!
I have no idea how many hours I've poured into this game, on both Amiga and Amstrad platforms. Remade many-a-time, but somehow it never felt as good as the OG.

Killzone 2
That's right. Come at me. Played the campaign once, didn't really care for it. Had tons of fun in MP with a bunch of crazy euro GAFers. Good times.

Secret of Mana
IMO the best jARPG ever. Great music. Good gameplay. Fun story. Pretty graphics. And 3p MP? All over my face.

The Lost Vikings
One of the most creative puzzle/platforming games ever. And hilarious, too.

The Last of Us
No explanation needed, I assume.

Demon's Souls
Had a lot of super obscure stuff that was just brilliant. None of the following FROM titles came close to surpassing this game.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Best Zelda game, period.

God of War III
Because HOLY SHIT THAT OPENING

Runner-ups
Horizon: Zero Dawn, Syndicate, X-com (the OG), Shadowrun (SNES), Theme Park, Destruction Derby, The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, Lemmings, Warhawk, Starcraft, MGS2, Super Mario World, Bomberman, Crash Team Racing, Megaman X, C&C: Red Alert, Diablo, Dungeon Keeper. And a fuckton of other games.

Surprised people are choosing Mario 64 over Galaxy. It has a slight advantage in how much freedom Mario's controls have, and a better overworld, but that's about it IMO. Oh and I guess some might knock the motion controls in Galaxy but they're honestly fine. Different strokes.

It was topped with Silent Hill 3.  I don't see how 2 is the best Survival Horror game when it's the least scary out of SH 1-3.  You were given far too much ammo and the music wasn't quite as creepy as 1 and 3.  True, it had the best story though.  (However I liked and cared the most for Heather in SH3 than any other character in the series)

Silent Hill 2 has a much better story than 3. The horror is better in 3 but it depends on what you want. I personally think the story in 2 edges it past 3 since 2 IMO has the best story ever in a game especially with in water ending.

I need to replay Silent Hill 2 this year. Such a classic. :bow I'll up the ps2 during Halloween season.

Speaking of "the best survival horror game", I need to beat REmake too. I truly think it's the best the genre has to offer. I often refuse to play it and have never beaten it because I find it too oppressive, scary, and downright frightening. From the audio to the visuals to the gameplay it's the complete package as far as the genre goes and is fucking stressful to play.
