I was sold the second I saw this game. Even more so when I finally played it. The marriage of difficulty, exploration, art-style, and endless re-playability is nearly flawless.
There is no other game that has had such an impact on my life as World of Warcraft. I met the love of my life, made some of my best friends, and accomplished so many things within it's universe.
Tales of Symphonia makes it on this list solely based on being the first JRPG I ever finished. The end also had an emotional impact on me I had never experienced before. I was connected with the characters in such a way that the ending truly brought a tear to my eye.
My first game ever. Tons of great memories to go along with it. Staying up with my sister, at the age of 3, having a blast. Sharing some gaming fun with my Mom by helping her solve levels she couldn't.
This game was a life changer. I still remember the day I first played it. I thought it looked stupid. I wanted nothing more than to continue playing Unreal Tournament: Championship Edition with my best friend at the time. However, he convinced me that he needed help with a level and I conceded. I'm glad I did. Oh, and it introduced me to "inverted controls."
Everything about this game makes me smile. The music, the art, the humour. Everything. It also added in some difficult challenges with rhythm-reaction, and was one of the first games I truly felt committed to one-hundred percenting; and I enjoyed every moment of it.
My first home-console top-bottom shooter. I loved the hell out of this game. I felt like a God avoiding the barrage of bullets being thrown at me, and was even able to impress a girl I liked at the time with my "skills."
If you were a kid/teen when this came out, you know why this game is on my list. So many great memories with my friends that were filled with excitement, yelling, and just a ton of fun all around.
