Your Top Ten List (Descriptive!)

[uced]

10. Castlevania (NES): While this game was one of the hardest NES games I've played (but nowhere near as hard as Contra) I enjoyed controlling Simon and making my way through castlevania and defeat Dracula.

9. Super Metroid (SNES): I couldn't believe how great this game was when I first played it. I only played the original Metroid for the NES and by the time I started playing this Metroid Prime was already out (I had a lot of catching up to do). I loved this game. Great storyline, gameplay, music etc.

8. Mega Man 2 (NES): What can I say, I love this game. I grew up with the blue bomber and this game was my favorite of them all. I was always hoping that capcom would bring back the classic Mega Man and now they are with Mega Man 9.

7. Final Fantasy VI (SNES): I used to see my older brother play this game when I was very little. At that time, I had little to no interest in Final Fantasy. But after playing FF7, I gave this game along with FF4 a chance. This game was awesome and I enjoyed every single minute of it.

6. Final Fantasy IV (SNES): After playing FF7, I found my old copy of FF4 (in this case, Final Fantasy II) that my brother had. I began to play it and I was amazed that I missed out on this great game. The storyline and characters were great, although in my opinion, this game was a little more difficult then FF7, but still fun.

5. The Legend of Zelda (NES): My first game will always be one of my favorites. I started playing this at the tender age of four, and all I did was mash buttons. After understanding the gameplay a few years later, I got more and more addicted to the game. Afterwards, I started moving on to other Zelda games as well.

4. Goldeneye 007 (N64): After watching the movie about two years after it was released in 1995, I wanted to give the game a shot. It was defenatly the best FPS I've ever played. Awesome controls and gameplay made this game extremely fun to play.

3. Final Fantasy VII (PSX): This was my first FF game and it got me addicted instantly to the FF series. I remember first watching my brother play this when I was seven and I decided to give the game a shot. After getting used to the battle system and how things worked, I concentrated more on the storyline. It has one of the best storylines in any game I played. Not to mention awesome music as well.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64): I got this game when I was nine years old. I really got into Zelda when I played A Link to the Past and this game just built upon it. I couldn't stop playing this game and I was really happy and upset when I beat it because I knew at that point, the adventure was over.

1. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES): It was hard for me to choose between a link to the past and ocarina of time for my favorite video game. I guess because I grew up with A Link to the Past. It was one of those games that got me hooked into video games and the Zelda series. In my opinion, it will always be my favorite.

10. Final Fantasy XII (PS2)
I like the new battle system and the graphics, some chapters in the story were lame but generally the game is good.

9. God of war II (PS2)
A great game and it's more like POP game, the action was great and the killing methods were awesome.

8. God of war I (PS2)
the same as GOW II

7. Shadow of the colossus (PS2)
It's one of the hardest games I've ever played and one of the best, you actually have to use your intelligence in the game and I'm not quite good at this

6. .Hack series (PS2)
A great game, it's more like FF games with a better battle system and cool characters and the anime was great too...And I really liked Haseo.

5. Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time (PS2)
a great game but it's not the best in the series.

4. Prince of Persia - The two throne (PS2)
A great game and got some old ideas but it worked really well in the game, like the stealth thing..Damn that was awesome, but the stupid thing is...You can't change the dagger.

3. Prince of Persia - Warrior within (PS2)
My Favorite game in the series the outfit of the Prince was cool the Dahaka was awesome and the storyline is just great and unbelievable!

2. Final Fantasy X (PS2)
A great game everyone know it, the story line, the battle system...etc.

1. Final Fantasy VIII (PSX)
My favorite game ever,great,cool and awesome and the junction system was really useful...It's the perfect FF game for me.

X: Sonic & Knuckles (SMDII)

I first played this game back in 1995 when my Dad got a SEGA MEGA DRIVE II Package for me and my brother for Christmas. This was one of the 2 Sonic the Hedgehog games we got in that pack, and boy oh boy this game is simply awesome. It marked the first ever appearance of the 'Ruby Red, Chaos Emerald Protecting Echidna'. The levels in this simply awesome, history making game are colouful, exciting, jam-packed full of Eggman Henchies and awesome moments of Speed that only Sonic can produce.


IX: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (SMDII)

Okay, this game, is simply put, The Greatest Sonic the Hedgehog Game ever made. Not the greatest game to feature Sonic (that award goes to 3rd Place), but definatley, hands-down the greatest Sonic game, let alone, the greatest game SEGA has ever produced, and will EVER produce. Like in Sonic & Knuckles, each level from Emerald Hill Zone to Casino Nights Zone, & from Hill Top Zone to Metropolis Zone and beyond, each and every single level and it's indivivual zones offer a different approach to reaching Eggman, and each Eggman boss battle is a different approach and experience. Awesome. Simply Awesome.


VIII: Crash Team Racing (PSX)

Oh My Goodness does this game waste time!! I cannot believe how many hours one can sit and play, race after race after race without the slightest hint of movement! Naughty Dog outdid themselves when it came to CTR. It is unfortunate that this was Naughty Dog's last Crash Bandicoot game before moving to Jak and Daxter, but boy the last game was the best by any means. A colourful aray of querky characters from Crash Himself to N. Tropy the Time obsessed Doctor, supported by a huge variety of tracks makes boredom an impossibility. What makes me love this game the most is the 4-player Multi-Tap ability. Having 3 of ya mates as well as yourself boosting it at 150miles through a Space Station hurling rockets at each other is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uhuh, CTR is Great.


VII: Muppet RaceMania (PSX)

I'm not quite sure why, but when me and my brother purchased a PlayStation Magazine that had this game on it's preview Demo Disc on it, we fell in love with it. Now this was back in early 2000, now 8 years later, after unfortunately losing it, I bought it off TradeMe, and have clocked it numerous times. What makes this game great is..well.. the fact that its The Muppets! Kermit and his posse haven't made many video games, maybe only 2 or 3, but this, Muppet RaceMania, puts them in my Top 10, because, the entire game from start to finish offers huge variety. 25 Muppets are optional, you begin with 8, and unlock the remaining 17 as you drive around tracks based on 6 Great Muppet Films, as well as 4 Secret Tracks based on Muppet Relations. The greatest Kart-Racing Game in my opinion takes the #7 spot.


VI: Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (XBOX, PS2)

Who hasen't played GTA San Andreas and not liked it? It is the best, escpecially considering how much of a flop GTA IV was, that game was HORRIBLE!!! But luckily for Rockstar Games, they made San Andreas beforehand, so avid GTA gamers like myself could fall back on a classic like San Andreas. Now, what makes San Andreas a classic GTA game, let alone a classic game overall, is that it is based on the Compton Street Gang concept, the most dominating GTA styled lifestyle on Planet Earth! So it's only right for San Andreas to be the best, it's style fits the GTA style perfectly, CJ and his gang mates add comedy, tragedy and all out pop-a-cap-in-da-ass action you can stick a fork at, all rolled into one.


V: SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain (PS2)

Wrestling is a passion for me, I love to watch it, I love to do it, I love it, and SmackDown! Here Comes The Pain is the best of the best. An all-star cast supplies any fan with numerous years of WWE Greatness and Re-Creation of some of the greatest moments in WWE History!! The season mode kicks ass with it's constant forks-in-the-road, so that in the end you would've maybe... Paralyzed your Tag Mate? Destroyed your Boss' Testicles by throwing him onto a divider? Or Sprayed your biggest rival with a Giant Milk Van Hose? It is awesome, and those 3 scenarios are only 3 of about 50 scenarios your Created Superstar or CAW can get upto. Simply amazing. Simply awesome. Simply wrestling at its best.


IV: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)

My mate back in 2003 told me about this game when he wrote a creative writing assignment based on Ocarina of Time, soon enough I was playing what was one of the greatest games ever made, not just to me, but to the majority of the gaming world, as Ocarina of Time became the first ever game in history to recieve a perfect 10/10 by critical gaming magazine Famitsu, and it most definatley deserved that prestegious award, as it delivers. The gameplay is easy to learn and the storyline is so indepth it boggles the mind! With it's fun-loving characters, tricky puzzles and beautiful appearance, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time deserves to be part of any avid gamers collection.

III: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

The first 2 Smash games just missed out on the Top 10, but the 3rd installment, and definately te best installment, takes the Bronze Medal on my Podium. Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the game whose release I waited for the most over any game ever, lived up to what all Smash Fans expected, pure genious. It, along with its older brothers, 64 and Melee, offer countless hours of Smashtacular fun, 'cuz..I mean... Come on!! What game can offer you to get Mario, Link, Pikachu & Solid Snake to battle huh?? Not Super Mario 64!! Not Legend of Zelda!! Not Pokemon!! Not Metal Gear Solid!! But Super Smash Bros. Brawl the greatest Frickin' Beat'em Up game to ever be created by man!! Plus it has Sonic, and Sonicisrad!!


II: Final Fantasy VII (PSX)

Final Fantasy VII is the the best Final Fantasy Original to ever be created. People say that VIII and X come close... yeah right, VIII was addicting as well, but emotion wise?? Not even close to Aeris' Death, named Mosted Shocking Moment in Video Game History. X wasnt bad either, the adding of voicing was a nice touch, but Tidus was a horrible Protagonist and the story was everywhere, whereas Cloud Strife, the Spikey-Haired, Buster Sword Weilding SOB is the coolest Protagonist since Sonic the Hedgehog back in '91. Not only that, but the Antagonist, the almighty Sephiroth (~Sephiroth...~) is the greatest Final Fantasy Character to ever be known. The story takes the cake as being the most indulging story I've experienced, the fact that a '1st Class Soldier' having to kill his Hero in order to save the Planet from his evil Tyranny is class, and still is class today. Final Fantasy takes the Silver Medal, although it was the Gold Medal winner for a very long time, until the release of...


I: .......

...... ~*Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-*~ (PSP)

How can a game get any better?? Seriously? Crisis Core, the story of Zack Fair the original Cloud Strife, is the greatest game to ever be played by man. The triumph, the downfall, the emotion, all 3 mix to produce a story of significant legendary status. A game that reveals the plot of what happened 7 years prior to what unfolded in the legend of itself, Final Fantasy VII. The revealing of what the almighty Sephiroth was like before his evil ways took over, the origins of the inamous Buster Sword, the original Owner, Angeal Hewley, the notorious Genesis Rhapsodos, and the friendship between two awesome human beings, Zack Fair and Cloud Strife. Crisis Core is simply put as my favourite game to ever be known, and it will be a huge obstacle to overcome in order to take away it's Gold Medal.

[RamesesII]

10. Dynasty Warriors 5 X-treme legends- Nothing better to soothe the mind with mindless everlasting slashing. I liked the character editing and being able to create your own character and choose their style.

9. Samurai Warriors- Another of my favorite Hack and Slash games although i like the story line in this one being able to play each real life Legends story. I also love ancient japan so like i said before the fact that all the characters actually lived was exciting.

8. Tomb Raider Anniversary- Hell yeah!! If she hadn't made a good enough comeback in Legend (thanks to crystal dynamics who rock) they bring out an anniversary just f****n unreal I love those people at CD what a Triumphant return for Lara.

7. Final Fantasy 10- Out of the FF's that i have played this one would be the second best as far as story line, characters, magics etc but that could change i have not finished FF12 yet so this one is a little bit open.

6.Soul Calibur 3- The best fighting game i have ever played. I love making custom characters and playing the chronicles mode over and over again lol and i like all the character in it.

5. Shadow of Collosus and Devil May Cry 3- Unfortunately they have to tie i can't decide between the two. Firstly SOC was just mind boggling the sheer imensity of the map and the freedom was just astounding. I could never wait to get to the next monster it was a brilliant game. DMC 3 just a mouth watering game it combines some of my fav gaming factors the freedom to move, sword fighting and gunslinging, corny one liners and STYLE! I could play it for hours on end just slashing away at the enemies getting style points. Very enjoyable.

4. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on GBA- I found it to be one of the most enthrawling games i have ever played. I liked the fighting system and gaining exp and techniques it had a very adictive story line. It was one of the very few games that i could hardly put it down.

3. Onimusha Dawn of Dreams- There was only one thing that i didn't like about this game that you couldn't jump, but the fighting and combos and story made up for this ten fold. I never used to like Onimusha until i got this one with the new charge attacks and all new characters and all the different weapons thats why it makes my no 3.

2. Okami- Now i said earlier how i liked ancient Japan, and then you look at a game like Okami i tell you what they need a bloody good pat on the back they exceded in this game, the story the twists and just when you thought the game was over it kept going until the time it was over and it was really sad to finish it.
Several things took me by awe with this game firstly the fighting style with the brush techniques is a welcome change, its different unique and easy to understand and get a hang of. Second the story was magnificent touching on real folklore from ancient Japan and real names just twisting at little bit and the characters where quite comical as well. But the one thing that just was awe inspiring is the graphics, the old style Japanese painting was just beautiful it was colorful and exciting it is just a beautiful game in general.

1. My fav game would be FFXII of course. It is the best game to date that i have ever played. Its the game that introduced me to the FF world. A friend gave it to me to play to see if liked it i told him that i liked games where you could level up and gain exp and customise characters and so he leant me FF7 and i was trapped in the ever rising world of Final Fantasy and im glad i did. The story is just supberb it had twists, heart twisters good fights, humour etc and the hours that you could work up was just astounding it was like you were playing a game inside a game half the time. You could raise chocobos play mini games need i say more. The characters were perfect the story was perfect it is a perfect game.

[Sinister]

1Final Fantasy 7 Fanboyish of me? Yea...sure. But after all, why not? I'm man enough to admit it. It was/is my favorite game and it'll never be replaced. I wrote stories about this damn game. The feel of it's imagery, music and characters are forever a part of my idea of a perfect game.

2Other Final Fantasy games They'd take up the whole list if I listed them individually and I want other titles to appear here. But this series raised me as a gamer and I hope, advanced my imagination as a human. Not to mention that they brought me here.

3Pokemon Yellow was my first Pokemon game and I remember how thrilled I was to get it. I had watched the series avidly and the game put me over the edge. Now we're up to Platinum, which is a fine game... But my excitement about the series was in it's height back then.

4Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Best Zelda game, no argument. It was simple, short and tons of fun and back when games were still a challenge. The latest games? Twilight Princess? Windwaker? Good games all, but not challenging.

5Grand Theft Auto; Vice City Vice City wasmy first GTA, and what a game. I love the eighties anyway...and I loved this game. The others kind of stayed in the shadows of the masterpiece.

6Warcraft II Back when strategy games were new this was my game of choice. Sequels and Commands and Conquers have come and gone, but I was most ramped about this game.

7Super Smash Bros. Melee Of course I loved and played the first... But I was best at Melee... At melee, I was a god. I can still hold my own with Brawl, but to be honest, I like Brawl's story mode better than it's PvP mode.

8Super Metroid SNES style. Weird alien game that wasn't comfy with cute characters, it had intimidating bosses and puzzles that you felt accomplished to fend off or solve. I have special place in my heart for the entire series, even though they're Nintendo exclusives.

9Metal Gear Has to go somewhere on this list. And even though I came in tragically late in the series and only have the third and fourth installments. This game is a godsend of gripping story, character and gameplay.

10Fallout 2 3 is the popular installment, I know. But you can't turn your female character in a lesbian hooker hopped up on Jet in it, can you? Fallout 3 is a great game, but if they had made Fallout 2 in 3d, it'd be much better.

-Sin

[Kilala]

=^^= Okay! I'm going to give it my best shot *Fingers to the ready on the keyboard*


#10 Sims 2 - Starting off with the PC Sims 2. The game is a simple concept really... you play with a bunch of pixels the real life game. When the Sims originally came out I thought it was a load of rubbish. Why would you want to play God and play about with these pixels who are just simply living life.
That was until I bought the game myself.... Only loaded and installed I started to get addicted. Whenever bored I would simply click on the icon and start messing about. Sims 2 is fun as you can create whoever you like, make a little story for your family if you like and have fun. The graphics are pretty good, and mouse controls are great. But it does get very samey and quite quickly... But still I thought it was worth a top 10 mentioning. (Not to mention I can't wait for Sims 3! WHEEE!!! x3)

#9 Tomb Raider Anniversary - I'm a great fan of all the Tomb Raider Series really... I'm always thinking of how I want to be like Lara Croft... Anyway... In this vamped up edition the graphics are quite nifty for the PS2. And I think in this version the game character slightly resembles Angelina Jolie. Always fun when you can kind of compare it to a real life person. So it's back to the orignal story, just with better everything really. If you like action and adventure Tomb Raider is the way to go! The environments are great... but sometimes they get a bit easy. If you get lost all you have to do is look for a straight edge or something and you're out of there xD. Tomb Raider is a classic and for me has endless replay value. Love it.

#8 Final Fantasy VII - This installment of the Final Fantasy series tends to be the general favourite. It's not for me though... and I don't know why to be honest! Maybe the graphics put me off - and that is very petty I know. And the controls take a bit of getting used to... but all that can be adjusted to the players taste none the less. The story is great, the characters have good depth to them, the soundtrack is excellent and the gameplay is fun! Materia is a great system in the game. Having the different combinations etc... And the extras in the game rule! Chocobo's and stuff. It's so cute!!!!! And I still wonder why it doesn't get a higher place for me.. but it just doesn't xD.

#7 Heavenly Sword - One of the first PS3 games that I owned. The graphics are sensational! Of course you have another flawless female lead - grrr, and she has this imba sword. The story of this game is epic really. It's like your playing a movie. The sound effects of the heroine using her weapons in battle are magnificent. Voice acting is simply superb and when you get enough points you can unlock some great "in the making" videos. The downpoint of this game for me was the shortness. I wanted it to go on and on, and was deeply saddened by the fast ending of this game. Does it have replay value? Yes! And I am replaying it right now x3

#6 Prince of Persia (PS3) - Ahh yes. PoP. This guy is close to Squall.. Nearly Godly... The first of the series to come out on the PS3. Excellent. And having Nolan North do the voice for him was just heaven for me! At first the graphics took a bit of getting used to... A little bit cartoony and yet not... The control of the Prince is of course flawless. He's agile and fast... and for once he has an ally who is useful!!!! As great as it was and as catchy as the music was... it was a little bit too easy for my liking and not enough battles. You have the odd monster spawn, but I like more action sometimes...

#5 Kingdom Hearts - I love Disney. I love Square Enix. Need I say more?! Combining the two is genius! The graphics are great, and control is good. Only thing that kind of bugs me is the camera angles and stuff... But this game is really great. Getting to visit loads of different worlds... Worlds your probably already familiar with from the Disney movies! In my personal opinion I think Disney was favoured more... But never mind!
The voice acting was excellent as well. A great cast indeed. There are so many parts to the game you can follow up... I"m still finding new stuff.

#4 Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - This was the first Prince of Persia I ever played... I remember I heard about it on a radio advertisement xD. And there I was... falling in love with the Prince. Now... I don't mean this to sound pervy.. but I first played this with my friend. And it was her who pointed out that as you played on, the Prince slowly lost more clothing xD! Just a random fact for you... But the game is great fun. Action and adventure. Romance of course! But with a twist... naturally. There were parts in the game which really drew me in. Farah and her helpfulness was frustrating at times and on occassion I found myself trying to kill her myself xD. Once again the agility and presence of the Prince is much appreciated <3

#3 Uncharted - I mention Nolan North for PoP(PS3)... and here he is in Uncharted!!! *Fan girl squeal* Best voice ever.... So this was again one of my first PS3 game purchases. I've never been a one for games involving shooting as I tend to get overwhelmed and freak out at my poor aim and timing. But this game is GREAT! You have to know where to run, hide, how to shoot... and it's full of heart pounding goodness. You have a little sidekick, and she's fairly useful at times. Like hits the odd man with a bullet but whatever... Just when you think it's a fairly normal game, you're then hit with zombies! It's great and it keeps you on your toes. Action - YES. Adventure - YES. Puzzles? YES! It's really great... and did I mention Nolan North?

#2 Final Fantasy X - Yet another Final Fantasy reaches the list! The first of the series to reach the PS2. Gosh I remember buying it... *Day dreams* Anyway! Levels? Gone... and the sphere grid is introduced. At first I hated it... I mean wtf? I want my levels!!!!! But after time I adjusted and became quite attached to this new system. I guess maybe they knew what they were doing after all... Like all FF's the story was great! Characters were awesome - albeit Tidus really bugged me from time to time.... Soundtrack was another classic! In terms of difficulty I found it quite easy... But a truly great game. And I loved the twist at the end - even though it made me cry x3

#1 Final Fantasy VIII - And we reached the best game ever!!! (In my eyes anyway hehe :3) FFVIII... this was the first of the series I played. I fell in love with it instantly. And it has SQUALL!!! AND HE'S ALL MINE I TELL YOU!!!!
..... Alright I'l continue then. So yes, FFVIII has the pretty cool junctioning system. I really enjoyed that... equipping the GF's, learning their skills and such. And the Triple Triad was awesome too! I always loved to play that (but only once I got all the cool cards. Naturally!). The storyline for me was just the best. The romance in it is soooooo squishable I could die xD. How you see the characters develop etc... The FMV's were fantastic too... just like all the Final Fantasy's.... Everything about this game just excites me. I'velost count the number of times I've played it... The world map... the vehicles you travel in, the music, the characters.. everything!!! It's what a game should be in every way. And yes maybe I do obsess on it a little... but doesn't everyone's number one? ^_^

10. Mario Party 7: I love these kinds of games...they just never end xD And I love trying to get the most gold stars and competing against computers...It just amuses me =3...I've played all the Mario parties but this one remains my favourite because I like how you get a mic for mic mini games...

9. Dark Cloud 2: I fell in love with this game...my brother introduced me to it...<.< >.>... Anyways it's about trying to figure out about a kid named Maxs mom...since she disapeared when he was so young and left him a pendant that hand special powers to travel into the past and present...I got addicted to this game and couldn't stop playing it I just had to know the secret behind it all O.O...So yah I thought it was a really interesting game...

8. Dot.Hack//Sign: This was a really fun series...it kind of felt like you were in an online game because other characters in the game could message you and you could say something back in an email...It just seemed so real and was completely awesome =D

7. Super Smash Bros. Melee: My fav character to use on this was pikachu =3...I loved how you can battle with your friends to see who can win the matches...And unlocking all the mystery players was so much fun too... I can play this game for hours and never get bored I mean I love taking on the computers and trying to beat them ^^

6. Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup: ^^ It's Harry Potter self explanatory...I love playing quittage it's one of the best games ever...and plus you get to play as Harry Potter trying to catch the seeker and score point for Gryffindor...Right when I saw this game I had to get it I mean I couldn't resist myself...I love this game <3

5. Jak and Daxter: I've been playing this game since I was around 9 years old and I still play it to this day...In the first one you're trying to help your friend change back and become human again since you were in a place where you shouldn't be and he gets cursed...He kind of reminds me of a ferret but that's beside the point ^^'....It's a really awesome video game and I really liked the ending to it...

4. Kingdom Hearts II: I liked KHII more then KH because I thought the story line was better...and OrganizationXIII really spiced it up...It was the first one I played between the two and I loved it so much...I can't help it I like anything with Disney in it xD ...I thought it was real action packed and couldn't stop playing it tell I beat it...Favourite Disney world is between Aladdin and Halloween Town xD...Santa

3. Legend of Zelda-Ocarina of Time: I used to watch my cousins play this game when I was younger and just had to play it for myself...Link is so cool...Him and his crazy tunic...I loved the whole adventure theme of it and trying to make all the temples become pieceful...Oh and the post man was so hard core...I loved his hat...Legend of Zelda is just to great for words... =]

2. Final Fantasy X: Yah this is definitly my fav Final Fantasy game...The whole thing was just so appealing...Battling Sin figuring out about Tidus father was just so amusing...I really liked it and thought the story was fantastic...The ending was a little sad but it was a great one ^^

1. Legend of Zelda- Majora's Mask: Wooh this game was the best one I ever played!!...Colecting all kinds of different masks transforming into a goron, zora and a shrubbie =3 was so awesome!!...I liked how you only had three days then you had to turn back time or else it would be game over....made it more of a challenge...I also like fighting off the aliens to save Romani Ranch and doing the dog races...That game was just magnificient!! =]

[Fate]

10. Final Fantasy Tactics
I thought the whole idea of having a Final Fantasy game that focuses more on strategic ideas instead of just fighting was a very unique twist. The game itself is very open to different styles of fighting. Everyone who plays it has a different way of setting up their party, and almost nobody's is the same because there are so many classes and abilities to choose from. The game offers the player a lot more freedom of how they want their characters to turn out.

9. Tales of the Abyss
I liked this game because unlike the other Tales game that I have played, Tales of the Abyss lets you use the whole board to move. I thought that that gives you much more freedom and planning than just being able to move left and right on the battlefield. The game itself is very similar to the Star Ocean games because the people who worked in Namco were part of the group of people who worked in tri-Ace. That automatically makes me attracted to them because of my experience with the Star Ocean games.

8. Final Fantasy IX
This was one of my first Final Fantasy games. I liked it better than most of the others because it had some more stuff to offer. For example, it is different from other Final Fantasy games because the level of the character is meaningless in learning new abilities. All that they need to do is obtain the right equipment and earn enough Ability Points. I thought that made it very unique because in most all other Final Fantasy games, some of the best attacks are only accessible to high levels, whereas in Final Fantasy IX, you just need to progress in the game to get the equipment needed.

7. Final Fantasy XII
This game is by far my favorite of the Final Fantasy series. I thought that having a Final Fantasy game that has almost real-time battles instead of the usual turn-based battle system. Although the game doesn't require high levels to learn good skills, I liked the license board because it offers you everything straight away; all you have to do is find the appropriate item or skill or spell and have enough License Points to obtain it. I really liked the transition from having constant random battles to no random battles. It gives you a chance to pick your enemies and see what you are fighting.

6. Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
I liked this game because it provides a very unique battle system. It makes nobody able to move before their turn comes, and I like how you can control each of your character with a different button. Also, it gives you much more freedom outside of battle than just running around.

5. Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria
I thought this game was better than Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth because this game gives you much more freedom in battle. You aren't limited to just pressing buttons, but you get to move around the whole field. Also, you don't always get hit when it comes time for your opponents to attack since you can pretty much move behind them. I liked how the game also had a challenge in the Seraphic Gate after you beat the game, and it makes the game so much harder if you keep on beating it. It becomes so hard after beating the game 48 times, I've heard, but I've yet to even do that.

4. Star Ocean: First Departure
This game is the Playstation Portable remake of the original Star Ocean. I find remakes a lot more fun because they've improved a lot of stuff. For once, there is a game where the maximum level is not capped at 99. All Star Ocean games have a maximum level of 255, and that grants the player more time to power up their character. I liked having a real-time action RPG that utilizes skills inside of battle. For instance, you could unleash two of your skills that you pick anytime throughout the battle as long as you have enough MP. I also liked how you can have the different talents that lets you do so many things outside battle such as pickpocketing and such.

3. Star Ocean: Second Evolution
This is the other remake for the Playstation Portable. Unlike Star Ocean: First Departure, this one is the remake for Star Ocean: The Second Story, the second in the series. I like this game for the same reasons as I stated above, and the reason why this game bested Star Ocean: First Departure is probably because of story element and characters.

2. Star Ocean: The Last Hope
I just got this game the other day, but already, it has made its way to become my second favorite game of all time. Who knows, it might even become my first! This game offers the same things as the two Star Ocean games listed above and then some. It has an almost purely real-time battle system where you can barely even see your characters because the game is 3-D. It also brings back the item creation of the Star Ocean games which I loved. You can create your own weapons in the game and not just pick them up in chests. In fact, some of the most powerful weapons are only acquired through item creation. Another thing that I want to point out is the graphics of this game. They are absolutely amazing! The characters look just like real life people.

1. Star Ocean: Till the End of Time
This game has always been my favorite. It was my very first Star Ocean game. I liked the 3-D environment very much, and I thought having the 3-D real-time battle system was a significant part of the game because I am a person who likes just testing my attacks and defensive strategies instead of planning every step that I want to make. This game was the first Star Ocean to introduce item creation. Also, Sphere 211, a secret area in the game, provides such a great challenge to players as the bosses there, especially towards the end, are just so hard. I thought the plot of the game was very good, and I've played it over and over without getting bored of it!

[ZantetsukeN]

10. Pokemon Blue (Game Boy)
For me, the original will always be the best. I remember when this first came out, it was the cutting edge of gaming! The graphics sucked, but the gameplay more than made up for it. I loved it because all of my friends played it aswell, so we could trade Pokemon, so that we could complete each other's games. I sold my Game Boy and all my games a few years back, but just bought a Game Boy Colour and Pokemon Blue, and I am hooked on it again! The gameplay is just so addictive, and as compelling as it was over 10 years ago.

9. Okami (PS2)
I haven't been playing Okami long, so I can't rank it as high as I probably would if I had been playing it for years. However, it still gets a spot in my top 10. The gaming market needed something to get us away from the GTA-clones and whatever, and when Okami came out, it did just that for me. I remember playing it with a friend a few years back, and I said "I've got to buy this!", but never got around to it. Big mistake! I wish I had. The graphics are beautiful, something very unique in a game (they are made to look like a japanese painting), the gameplay also is more unique than anything in the gaming market, even now. The use of the Celestial brush added tons to the game.

8. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (PSP)
Despite how new it is, I picked it up more or less when it first came out, and instantly loved it. Many people don't think it is very good, but I think it is a great addition to the FF7 saga. It answered a few questions left open in the main game. The graphics are perhaps the best the PSP has seen, and the gameplay, while a little repetitive, was very good in my opinion. Just don't start on Hard!

7. Onimusha 3 (PS2)
I think this game is the best Capcom has made (I'm going to get killed by the Resi Evil fans later!), let alone the best in the series. I love how you get to be more 3 characters this time (one is more of a guest character), so this means more to do (more weapons and armour to upgrade, plus loads of minigames). The graphics are no better than the previous, but they are still good. The only thing that lets it down is its difficulty, especially after you get to about 3/4 of the way through.

6. Tekken 2 (PS)
Again, the best in the series. This was the first game I got for myself on my family's PlayStation, and I was always playing it. The graphics were the best at the time, while laughable now, but I think it is the best Tekken, no best fighting game, ever. I think the characters are the best in any Tekken game (although they are back in 5 and DR, but, they have been messed with), and the classic fighting gameplay is all there. I true classic.

5. Final Fantasy VII (PS)
Like many other people, I love FF7. However, I've never thought it was the best in the series. The game is an absolute classic. The graphics aren't great, but on the FMVs, they are impressive. The gameplay is amazing. The classic FF gameplay is there, with a few added things, such as materia. There's so much to do on the side, like the WEAPONs, getting everyone's best weapon, getting all the summons, chocobo etc. The story is epic, and the characters are well developed. I think all these thinks make FF7 such a great game.

4. Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
I actually think KHII is miles above KH1. KHII has so much added onto the game. First off, the game is much more mature than its predecessor. Secondly, the battles are much less repetitive. KHII has added the use of Drives and Reaction commands, which you can use if you are in a bind, and turn the tide to your favour. Also, the graphics are amazing. Don't get me wrong, I love the first KH, I just love this one more.

3. Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (PS)
When I first got this game, it was so hard to play for me. I was so used to 3-D gameplay when I got this. Gone were my megdrive days. I was about 8 when I got this, so I found it very hard, but I carried on. I started picking bits up along the way, and eventually, it became on of my favourites. I still play it now, and absolutely love it now. While the graphics aren't good, the gameplay more than makes up for it. The story is much better than any Castlevania game ever made. I think I'll still be playing it when I get old and crusty.

2. The World Ends With You (DS)
When I ask a lot of people whether they play this game too, no-one knows what I'm on about. I love every aspect of this game. The graphics aren't great for people who play console games, but I love them. The gameplay is unique. The battle system is something completely new. While using a selection of 'Psychs', you can unleash a vast selelection of attacks. Plus, you control two characters at once. The top, with the D-Pad, and the other with the stylus. It could be hard for a lot of people to pick up, but I got it in minutes. Next, the characters are great, and well developed. The game is just unique in every possible way.

1. Final Fantasy VIII (PS)
This game will always be my favourite game ever. I have been playing it since I was 9, and have loved it ever since. The graphics were amazing when it first came out, and still good now. The gameplay was something different, never seen in a FF before. The junction system was something not everyone liked, but I thought it added so much more to the game. You could customise your characters more than any other FF. The story is awesome. I think it has the best story out of any game I have ever played. Overall, FF8 is, always has been, and always will be, the best game I will ever play.

[ffxii]

1.final fantasy 8: probably because how cool squall is... and of couse the story.Plus i cant forget the battles and adventure side of the game.

2.skate 2: it has the most fun game play ever! I am addicted to such a game that has so many different spots to do different things.

3.little big planet: it is just so fun to go jumping around and make cool costumes!

6.call of duty four: i was addicted to this game for way to long. this game online is unbeatable!

thats about all i lay sry cant do 10... =(

[Xanatos]

There are many great games and it is hard to chose the top 10 but I think this are the games that earn to be in my top 10 list.

1. Final Fantasy IX
This is my favorite game and I would suggest this game to everyone that likes a good RPG.Like every FF it has amazing story(Maybe the best story in all FF games) and great characters that make the game even more interesting.The music for this game is just perfect,the best I have seen in a game.When you finished it once you can play it again and still it would be interesting that´s what makes it a great game.

2. The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time
Everyone loves Link He´s just amazing.Every Zelda is great game but I must say that Ocarina of Time is something special.This is the best game in Zelda series.I Now it´s little old but who cares if it´s old the game is great.I would suggest the game to those that did not played any of Zelda games.The great story,music and characters are the attributes that makes this game my no. 2.

3. ISS2
Yes it is ISS2 (Not PES) the greatest soccer game of all times.It is old game but i believe that many will agree with me that this is still the best soccer game that exist´s.

4. Devil May Cry 3
The best game in DMC series.The game is great mainly because a great story that follows Dante and Vergil.The music is just excellent(Best part of the game)and battle is good.

5. Final Fantasy VIII
Story,music and characters make this game one of the best FF game.It´s strange and I know that many will disagree with me but I must say the best part of this game is Battle System (Junction System).And of course the appearance of Omega and Ultima Weapon is just great.

6. Final Fantasy VI
Ironic that FFVI is on 6. position.This game surprised me in a positive way.I did not expect to be this good.The story is amazing and the most I liked is the number of character this game has.

7. Tekken 3
Tekken the King of Iron Fist Tournament.This game is the best fighting game I ever played.It´s even better than any Street Fighter.Unlike many fighting game this game has a great story .Every character is greatly done and every one of them has a different story.Most of them look cool especially Kazuya Mishima.Every Tekken is just great but I chose this because this is the first Tekken I played.

8. Kingdom Hearts - Chain of Memories
I never thought that Disney and Final Fantasy World could be combined(Who would Thought)It turned out great.Unfortunately the only Kingdom Hearts I played was Chain of Memories and it´s awesome game.The best game I played on Game Boy Advance (After Final Fantasy VI).

9. Gran Turismo 2
I played many racing games and most of them suck(Especially NFS Most Wanted).But GT2 is something else.It´s simply the best racing game that exists and you know it.It´s best racing simulation unlike some that claim that (Most of NFS games).

10. The Legend of Zelda - Link´s Awakening
The first Zelda game that I played.I still have original cartridge for Game Boy.An excellent masterwork a game that is rarely seen.One of few Zelda game were you don't have to save princes Zelda but still it has a great story.
Music like in every Zelda games is great and the game has a few secrets so you can play it numerous times.A rarely gem in within Game Boy games

So this is end of my list.As I told in the beginning there are many great games and sometimes it´s hard to decide which game is better or which game to put on the list.

[Dodie16]

Okay, here's my list for top ten games, and also the reasons why you should play them (if you haven't already!).

10.) Tetris

This title has been through many remakes, and is the only game that I know to truly stand the test of time. What do I mean by this? Well, you can ask any person, young or old, if they had ever heard of Tetris. Your most likely answer would be yes. It has a simple, yet addictive, concept. Blocks fall from the top screen and you as the player must move and line them up in order to create solid lines on the bottom screen (did I really need to explain that, lol). Also, the tetris theme is pretty darn catchy, I must say.

9.) Illusion of Gaia

This is an SNES classic from my early days as a gamer. You play as Will, a young man who live in South Cape with his aunt and uncle. Will leads a pretty average life, until one day he comes home to discover a princess in his house. His life isn't the same after that, and thus begins Will's incredible journery. Oh, did I mention his weapon of choice? A flute. Yep, it's a flute. You get other powers as well, like the ability to transform into Freedan and Shadow, but for the most part, you are beating up baddies with a flute.

8.) Earthbound (Mother 2)

Another game from my SNES days. I do love this game so much. It has a pretty simple theme. Alien is trying to take over (destroy?) the world, and it's up to Ness to stop it. But in these games, it's usually the journey (not the destination) that makes it enjoyable. I love the quirky humor of the game in general and the innocence of youth that the heroes portray. I really hope that Nintendo decides to release Mother 3 stateside.

7.) Yoshi's Island

A game so nice that I bought it twice! Yep, the SNES version and the gameboy version. I love the artstyle in the game, which looks like a third-grader got out his crayons and decided to make a bunch of hills and clouds (a talented third-grader, but still a third-grader). You play as Yoshi (of many different colors, if I may add) and it's your job to reunite the Mario brothers and take them to thier parents. Oh, I forgot to mention that Mario is a baby, and he rides on Yoshi's back. There are times where baby Mario gets powered up and you get to play as him, but for the most part, you play as Yoshi.

6.) Final Fantasy VII

Say want you want about Final Fantasy VII, but I still put it on my list because it introduced me to the series. Also, for the time of it's release it was a very excellent game. It's cyber-punk setting is a break-away from the earlier versions, and the magic (materia) system was a great addition. It was simple, yet involving at the same time. The supporting characters were pretty great. I love Rufus Shinra and the Turks. I like them ten-times more than some of the main characters. I can't talk about FFVII without mentioning Sephiroth. I don't care if his motivations are about as clear as mud. He could want to be king of the paper-clips for all I care, I still really enjoy him as a character. He has a sympathetic backstory and a great character design. I actually am more fond of Amano's version than I am of Nomura's though.

5.) Kingdom Hearts

I actually consider this game a "guilty pleasure" of mine. I mean, you are a 14-year old kid, who teams up with Donald and Goofy (of Disney fame), and you are looking for your friends. Along the way, you do help a lot of people and you fight off some heartless, but basically, all Sora wants to do is find Riku and Kairi and head back home. What sold me on the game, was the actual gameplay. It plays kind of like a stylized Zelda game. You slash away at enemies with your Keyblade. Yes, you are merely button-mashing, but the stylization makes it pretty worthwhile. Also, Sephiroth makes an appearance. (Fangirl squeal in 3...2...1...) SQUEEEAAALLLLLL!!!

4.) Shadow of the Colossus

I really, really love this game. It didn't make the top three however, because the story is too short. I think I beat it in 10 hours. It's possible to extend the gameplay by trying to find all the fruit, lizard tails, and beating the colossi in a time-limit challenge, but I was never good enough to do the time challenge, and those damn lizards are QUICK. I guess I should talk about the gameplay and story. You play as Wander, and with your trusty steed, Agro, you are trying to bring your dead girlfriend, Mono, back to life. You head to a sacred land and make a deal with Dormin, who tells you to defeat the 16 colossi who roam the sacred land. This, he/she tells you, will bring Mono back to life. So begins the journey of epic porportions, as you ride across the sacred land to defeat the 16 colossi. If you haven't played this game yet, and want to, be prepared for the most shocking ending I have seen in a long time.

3.) Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time

Ah, I still remember the trailer to this game like it was just yesterday. My brothers and I got so pumped about this game, and we put our money together to purchase it. I think that's the only time that we all ever agreed to do anything together. I could go on forever about why I like this game, but I'll just focus on one aspect: Z-targeting. What a great addition to gameplay! I think that OOT was the first game to introduce this concept, and it has been repeated in various other games as well, even outside the Zelda franchise. I don't think I need to discuss story and characters, so I won't.

2.) Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars

What do you get when you cross the legend that is Mario and the awesomeness that is Squaresoft? You get Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars, of course! This game had a great story, great locations, great gameplay, and of course, great characters. This was the game that introduced me to Squaresoft. What I really love about this game is the overall story. You play as Mario. Bowser has just kidnapped the Princess (for the umpteenth time) and you have to save her. But, what REALLY happens is far more involving than I can get into right now. I can't talk about Super Mario RPG without saying something about the music. The music in the game is awesome! Yoko Shimomura really did an excellent job, and Koji Kando and Nobuo Uematsu did some tracks as well.

1.) Okami

Anyone surprised by my number one? Yeah, didn't think so. I cannot stop praising this game. The artstyle? Amazing. Storyline? Epic. Soundtrack? Wonderful. Characters? Endearing. Just an amazing game, that unfortunately didn't recieve the amount of recognition it deserves. You can read more about it here:

Best...Game...Ever.

Well, there's my list. I hope you enjoyed reading it, because I enjoyed writing it!

HOLD IT!!!!

Honorable Mention:

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

I love this game, so why didn't it make the top ten? Because it's the only one in the series that I played, and I didn't feel right to put it in without knowing the whole story of Big Boss and Solid Snake. But I will leave some comments about it. MGS 3 is a great game, with involving story, very good gameplay (which borders on humorous when you mess with the enemy soldiers), and rich detail that is very good for the PS2. Oh, and Major Ocelot is pretty dreamy. Drawback? I'm not a history buff, and this game goes through a lot of detailed history.

[NeoArashi]

I guess I'll try to make my own top 10!

10-Worms Open Warfare 2 (DS,PSP)
This is IMO the best worms game out there. True, there are a lot less weapon in this game, but seriously, the older games' 60 weapon was too much for me. Also, a personnal favourite because of the great music (Can someone who played either version NOT remember the pirate theme?) and the fact that it's portable.

9-Final Fantasy IX (PSX)
My second FF I ever tried (the first one being FFX) And I though It was awesome. I dind't like the total customisation FFX had. I hate when everyone can do everything at the same time. This game has great story and great music.

8-Final Fantasy V Advance (GBA)

I originally found FFV to be a weaker title than FFIX but the GBA remake actually makes it better than FFIX. Great music, great story, ans possibly the best ability system of the entire series!

7-Zoo Tycoon 2 (PC)

I never tried this game without expentions. But anyways. This game (with all expentions exept Instinc spicies one) is a great game if you like to waste time. It can be very hard to play at times though. I don't recommend this game to beginners.

6-Final Fantasy XII (PS2)

I never finished the game. However, from what I've seen so far, the game is pure awesomeness. I dind,T like the battle system at first, but once you get used to it, it gives the player a really enjoyable game. And finally it allows solo challenge without the need of killing off your fellow party members beforhand! Also, has the greatest Character of the whole series: Balthier!

5- Final Fantasy VI (SNES,PSX)

Everything, exept maybe some music, is great in FFVI. The story, the characters, and the best Villain of the series (if not of all times): Kefka! Need I say more?

4-Eternal Sonata (Xbox360, PS3)
My first game on Xbox 360, and easily one of the best. It's a bit on the easy side tho. But for once, they make a fantasy game based on a real life person (in this case: Frederic Francois Chopin) The characters are all great, and funny sometime too! And the music is also very awesome!

3-Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts Xbox360

This game is hated, mainly by purist who think it would be better if this game was on Nintendo Wii, which is false (if you ever played this game, imagine the controls on a nintendo wii controller) The mix of Sanbox, race, mini-games and platformer makes this game one of Rare's finest works! This game needs more love!

2-Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (DS)

While this is one of the most hated game of the FFT series, I found it to be the best. Over 56 classes for 7 races gives you the most team possibility any game ever offered, exept the total customisation games, such as FF 7,8 and 10, and of course, the moster collectors (Pokemon, Digimon and DQ Monster) There are a LOT of interresting sidequest, and I think the battle system is better than in FFTA and the original FFT.

1-Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Xbox, Xbox360, PS2, PC

OMG... I can't tell how much time I wasted on that game. THere are so many things to do! And even if you don't want to do those things, you can still wander around the state of San Andreas to cause havoc! Also, the story of Carl ''CJ'' Jonhson is told very well in this game. A must-have for any GTA fan!

[Leon_Kierrn]

7.......got nothing
6.KH2....again for Leon....he's a beasty
5.Kingdom hearts, mainly the FF peeps
4.Tenchu Z, i is ninja
3.Devil May Cry, it was a mix of hard-fighting and horror
2.Devil May Cry 3, SE, the fighting....
1.Final Fantasy VIII, i grew up on this game it was just amazing, the gf's the gunblade, the love...uh im mean uh badassness......

[Ralz]

9. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

Yeah, a Sonic game. But this one was good. (At least until Sega failed at their existence in the following 4+ titles! Although Unleashed was a STEP in the right direction... -_-) This story takes Sonic to space, yeah. Anyway, but the main focus is of Shadow, the new anti-hero. (Back when he was bearable, and not emo like he is now. -_-) It all boils down to Eggman trying to conquer the world, all that jazz. But it gets serious when Eggman activates the Proton-Blabbity Machine that I forgot the name of. The story gets INTENSE, and a bit creepy, I'll leave it for you to discover. Gameplay-wise, it's fine. Sonic focues on speed, same as Shadow. Tails' and Eggman's stages are just slow and drawn-out, but they're fair enough. The last few stages are very difficult, and the second-to-last boss killed me about 50 times... o_O But overall, it's a good game.

8. Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core

The best game in the FFVII franchise, indefinitely. It takes its combat style from Kingdom Hearts, and allows free-roaming on the battlefield, instead of having to take turns whacking things with skillets. The battle system is fun and engaging, and there are some 300 missions to keep you well occupied. The game also tells the tale of Zack, Cloud's best friend and former owner of the Buster Sword. The story follows him as he matures, and eventually grows to become a well-loved character. This is a fine game to pick up and play.

7. Super Smash Bros.

Why is this on the list? 'Cause I like smashing things. ;P It's good reckless fun. Grab a friend and beat each other with hammers, and fire-spewing flowers. There are several extras, like missions and sound test, giving you hundreds of hours of gametime, which is impressive. o_O The story is pretty simple, but it feels epic, regardless. This is definitely a fun game, even more with friends!

6. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

This is the only Zelda game I ever played, but I love it. (Now, normally, I'd avoid this unless I knew the rest of the story from other games, but from studying the series, almost NONE of them intertwine, so I just assume that none of them are connected in any way.) This game is fantastic. I recommend the Wii version, it's just a blast. There's SO much to do. So many secrets, and some of the stuff is so hidden, you wouldn't believe it! : O The story is VERY dark, and seems to be one of Nintendo's creepiest from what I've seen before. But, all the more epic. Definitely grab this game if you see it!

5. Final Fantasy VI

I LOVE this game. Wonderful story, great gameplay, fascinating characters. Everything is here, basically. The villain, Kefka, is really great. The gameplay is exciting, and most boss battles require strategy. Except when you acquire Ultima... that strategy seems to go away... -_- The story is deep and involving. You feel what the characters feel. It's really well done. Get the game, it's awesome.

4. Kingdom Hearts II

You knew THIS would be on the list. ;P This game is hella fun. But, I feel it's pretty easy. Maybe it's the over-power boost you get by the end of the game, or maybe the forms... Speaking of which, the forms are fun to use, but broken as all hell. I perfer Master Form, because it blends physical and magical attacks so well, and it's almost as obscene as Final Form. Final Form... THAT. IS. BROKEN. o_O O_o The story shifts and changes to the mysterious Organization XIII. Sora's been asleep for a year, and its time to save the worlds again! This game is great and fun. If you don't have it yet, I COMMAND YOU TO GET IT! >: D

3. Star Ocean: Second Evolution

The remake for the PSP. This game is really great. It has a LOT of story, and it's pretty deep, too. Gameplay wise, it is similar to Kingdom Hearts, in which you're allowed free-roaming in battle. Characters are in sprite form, but the landscape is in 3-D. It's interesting to view this... "4-D world" from all angles. Battles are fast and action-packed. The musical score is one of my favourites, I must say. The story focuses on Claude, a young space Cadet, and Rena, a village girl with a past more complex than anything I've ever seen in a game. o_O Overall, this game is absolutely beautiful. The story is great, the gameplay is fun, and you'll fall in love with Opera! Get. This. Game.

2. Final Fantasy X

This game is amazing. I love it. The story is beautiful and sad. The gameplay is fun. And the music is absolutely perfect. The gameplay returns to a more "take all the time you want" style for turns. Unlike the first three games, though, you know whose turn is next. It's like a frozen ATB system. The Sphere Grid limits each character to a kind of job profession that makes the early-mid parts of the game fun. You can eventually break through locks and help each character reach maximum power. The summons, known as Aeons, play a vital role in the story, more than any seen in FF so far. The story follows Tidus, a young Blitzball player who is pulled 1000 years into the future after coming into contact with the creature Sin. He is soon confronted with a world of Yevon, and in the end, he'll discover the dark secrets about it with Yuna, the young Summoner who seeks to defeat Sin. The story builds and builds, and you can never see anything coming. It gets dramatic at several points, and the ending is perfect. Overall, this game is wonderful. Get it. In fact, how come you didn't get it before? You lazy! Get it! Hurry, hurry! : O

1. Kingdom Hearts - 358/2 Days

Well, it finally happened, a game that can rival Kingdom Hearts 1. I didn't think they could do it. This is the reason the list it one behind, both this game and number one are on the first spot. o_O O_o I LOVE this game. It is so much fun. There's so much customization, and the Panel system is fantastic. Roxas is a fascinating character, and without a doubt, the most loveable and complex in the series. The story follows him through his daily life in the Organization. He meets a girl named Xion, and from there, things tie together with the first and second game. The gameplay is similar to previous titles(actually, it's exactly the same... -_-). The graphics are unbelievable for the DS. They bring to mind the PSX era. Added cut-scenes with fully-voiced dialogue bring charm to this already wonderful game. The story bulids up to one of the most epic and sorrowful endings I've ever seen. I guarantee you'll love it. Need I say more? Get it.

1. Kingdom Hearts

This has been my number one game for the longest time... It's just so good. The gameplay has just enough difficulty. You have a wide array of customization, and the story is really compelling. Gameplay is action-based. You can move around in battle, and you can engage enemies on the field, rather than on a separate screen. Similar to Final Fantasy, it's a basic RPG. You have HP, MP, you can cast spells, you find items, recruit character, etc. It's so much fun, though. The tutorial lasts only about 20 minutes, but it's short enough that you don't feel it's dragging on like in future titles of the series. -_- This game has more than a feeling of something different, it feels like nothing you've played before. The collaboration of the Disney villains is really interesting. It's good to revisit childhood memories, and all the while enjoying the game. The story focuses on Sora, a young boy who quickly finds himself in the role of the Keyblade master, destined to seal the worlds' Keyholes and defeat the darkness. It soon grows more complicated when his best friend Riku, and other friend Kairi, fall into the darkness, and he must find them. Along the way, he meets classics Donald and Goofy, and together they visit many worlds and unravel the secrets of the Heartless, dark beings threatening the very order of the worlds. It's a really epic story towards the end with various conflicts and facing a powerful advesary. All in all, perfect game. Get it. You should already have it. You'd have to be crazy not to!

Well... this is probably my longest post EVER. o_O

1. FF9
Moogles, Moogles, and more Moogles. Tragic as always, but left a sweet taste in one's mouth. Really the characters were fun and I think, the first FF to have summoners as mains (No tactics doesn't count)..plus did I mention the Moogles?

2. Okami
A gorgeous game, absolutely stunning. A new and inventive way of forming magic. I own the wii version, which transfers beautifully from the PS2. The gameplay is smooth and the bosses are more than hit and runs.

3.FF7
Classic, pure classic. Everyone has heard of this game. It's horribly and yet beautifully tragic. The first game that made me cry. I love this game, truly. It's only third because I'm just posting what's coming off my head, the first three are all equal.

4. Elder Scrolls 5: Oblivion
Man I LOVE this game. The freedom in it is amazing. You whatever you want, whenever you want. The character creation is very detailed (although a bit wasted seeing you hardly see your character). This game has good marks all around.

5.Shadow Hearts (ONE!)
The graphics are great for it's age. The gameplay is a classic turn-based RPG, with a twist. The Judgment Ring puts a fresh twist on an old idea. The characters are fun and interesting. Haven't played 2 or 3, I saw a vacuum as an attack, I backed off. And it's five because of that gay ghost story you have to sit through.

6.FFX
I loved how summoning worked in this game. It's the easier of the FFs and a great starter...I however was started on 7...yeah I threw a couple of controllers.

7. The World Ends With You
Really, the plot made this game. The plot is a first and so is the gameplay. It's such a new idea that's like a fresh breath of air in this time were recycled plots are so common


8.Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
I love how the controls worked on this game. Yeah the plot is a normal Zelda, nothing too shiny.

9.Diablo
My first pc rpg, fun but really nothing special. Actually, more like an MMO than a rpg.

10. Lost in Blue
A rare game to see anymore. Well it really wasn't common when it was first released. The game is a survival based, I don't want to say rpg because that gives the wrong impressions but I suppose that's what is it. Now I don't mean this game is Sims bs. You have three needs Food, Water, and Rest, as long as those are met you're okay. Fun and inventive. Too bad the others blow.

10. The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker
Console: Gamecube
Graphics: 9/10 (Love the Cartoon Aspect)
Soundtrack: 7/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Replay value: 7/10
Genre of game: Adventure
This was one of the first Gamecube game's i got i hadn't played any Zelda games before but i loved the fact that the graphics were kept simple and in a cartoon style. One of the best aspects in the game is the sound effects, people don't talk they make funny sounds and grunts which is really funny and lightens the mood of the game. As far as the gameplay goes you get different equipment and learn different abilities throughout the game which keeps it fresh. One of my all time favs

9. Gran Turismo 2
Console: PS1
Graphics: 7/10
Soundtrack: 8/10
Gameplay: 6/10
Replay value: 5/10
Genre of game: Racing
My friend got this game before me and i had to lend it off him for the time the graphics and music was awesome. The soundtrack was full of hits of the time, the gameplay was that of a typical racing game, but what got me hooked the detail of modification to mostly everything available on cars. An awesome part of
the game i loved was the licenses which at times were really frustrating but when you did get it you felt relieved until the next class of racing. Best racing game I've played

8. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Console: PSX.
Graphics: 9/10
Soundtrack: 7/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Replay value: 10/10
Genre of game: Tactical Espionage.
Absolutely loved this game, the gameplay of this game was amazing the use of camo's and the more alert AI and rustic feel to the game. The story is griping to the end and provided me with a lot of background knowledge to Ocelot and Big Boss. The Soundtrack seemed a little lacking to me apart from the Snake Eater Song, but the replay value to the game is immense, once the game is complete there are still plenty of custscenes to unlock and camo's to achieve. Overall i really enjoyed the motives behind the game giving the player a feel to Ocelot's/Big Boss past.

7. Dragonball Z Buokai 3
Console: PS2.
Graphics: 8/10
Soundtrack: 10/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Replay value: 8/10
Genre of game: Fighting
I've loved Dragonball Z since the moment i first watched it on Cartoon Network, although there are 2 Budokai games before this, i just desperately wanted to move around the planet Earth of DBZ using my favorite characters. The same applied to the transformations, they seemed to be more fluid in Budokai 3 as well the graphics. Awesome Fighting Anime Game

6. Metal Gear Solid 4
Console: PS3
Graphics: 10/10
Soundtrack: 9/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Replay value: 10/10
Genre of game: Tactical Espionage
The main reason i bought a Playstation 3, i waited for this game for so long and it killed me when they pushed the released date back, and i must say that the game didn't disappoint. The sound effects the voice acting and the music are unbelievably refined just as the gameplay is. The stealth aspect of the game is further heightened as series progresses bringing new options to the game like interacting with different rebels to become friends and just as the games before it it provides the same replay value. Awesome Game, well worth its price

5. Final Fantasy X
Console: PS2.
Graphics: 8/10
Soundtrack: 10/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Replay value: 9/10
Genre of game: RPG
The best Final Fantasy game for PS2 by far, i think the music in this game has one of the best soundtracks for any final fantasy game, the music gives a real sense of emotion for me depending on whats happening, the battle system and character switch was an awesome part of the game for me. I found when i played previous Final Fantasy games i would be a real pain if a wanted to train somebody else so the character proved useful. The graphics was top notch considering Final Fantasy had just moved to PS2. The storyline of FFX lived up to the excellent standard of any other Final Fantasy and i really enjoyed the game so many
side missions and secret locations, would have loved if the storyline was a little longer.

4: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Console: PS1.
Graphics: 9/10
Soundtrack: 9/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Replay value: 10/10
Genre of game: Tactical Espionage
First game i got with my Playstation 2 and couldn't wait for it as i got my PS2 a year after it came out. compared to Metal Gear Solid i was amazed at the sudden change in graphics and really took to the new gameplay and first person shooting. So many aspects of the game changed revitalized graphics, hold up,

rolling, shooting round corners, shooting lights, search an enemy, hiding in lockers and the list goes on. Harry Gregson Williams provided again with an awesome soundtrack that suited the new game style and new graphics. The Replay value for me was awesome as i could spend ages trying to get every single dog tag on every single difficulty which proved really hard and still to this day haven't fully completed MGS2. Even before i got MSG2 i wondered how they were going to add to the storyline to MGS and they didn't let down, even though some people hated playing as Raiden i liked it as it gave more of a angle to the game and i always looked forward to seeing snake pop up and helping Raiden like a father. Couldn't wait to play it and still would to this day.

3: Pokemon Blue
Console: Gameboy Colour.
Graphics: 7/10
Soundtrack: 8/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Replay value: 10/10
Genre of game: Adventure
I might get stick for this, but the game was awesome. I'd watched the series of pokemon when i was a kid and when i heard about the game i couldn't wait to play it. It really lived up to what i wanted from a pokemon game, catch every pokemon, fight your rival, collect the badges, stop team rocket etc. The graphics were pretty good for its time and so was the soundtrack, changing as you got into a new town or battled a gym leader. One of the best feature's for me was the use of trading and battling a friend who also had the game, me and my friends would all play our gameboy's together and compare each other and help each other. Although it wasn't really a multilayer game, it felt like one when we all played at the same time. Best gameboy game ever

Couldn't decide a No.1 between these 2 games.

1: Metal Gear Solid
Console: PS1.
Graphics: 10/10
Soundtrack: 10/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Replay value: 10/10
Genre of game: Tactical Espionage
Best Metal Gear game of the series, the first metal gear game i played and have been hooked since. I didn't really know about the previous Metal Gear games before this because i was only a kid. However, compared to some of the games i owned this seemed to be a more grown up game. The storyline seemed to be the
most realistic game i had which i loved, i also thought the graphics were awesome although i didn't really have anything to compare to previously. The amount of sound in the game was unbelievable as it was all voice acted and the soundtrack was fully orchestral, this wasn't a game for me it was and serious action packed movie, AND I LOVED IT

1. Final Fantasy VII
Console: PS1.
Graphics: 10/10
Soundtrack: 10/10
Gameplay: 10/10
Replay value: 10/10
Genre of game: RPG
The best Final Fantasy game i have played, if not the best game i have played (Par Metal Gear).It was the game with the ATB battle system i had played before, i had normally played hectic action packed games with so much going on, but i found less can equal more, even though there isn't much happening about from you choosing your type of attack, but loved this type of gameplay. The storyline added to the effect off the game with its detailed storyline of the Ancients, Shinra, The planet, Jenova, Sephiroth, Materia, Weapon. After i had completed a part of the story i liked how i was given objectives in the game without them being directly called objectives in some type off menu (Like in FFX-2). The music was a key factor in me liking the game, around about the time i was playing FFVII i was also playing Metal Gear Solid so i was used to big music and FFVII offered a new type of music with mainly piano pieces. In my personal opinion EPIC!!
