Obligatory Favorite Games List

Everyone should have one. I'm pretty sure it's required by law anyway. I hear they kick you out of Giant Bomb if you haven't at least thought about making one. After all, your brain can't remember everything forever.

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

1. Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising

If you ever asked me one of those "one game on a desert island" question or "you can only play one game for the rest of your life" I would answer Advance Wars 2.

Resident Evil 4

2. Resident Evil 4

I have played this game to death and that probably makes it a zombie if zombies were actually in this game. Let me give you an example. I beat this game using nothing but pistols. Why? Because I couldn't stop playing it. Also, Verdugo is one scary son of a bitch. I wouldn't dare ruin the encounter with a Rocket Launcher.

Star Fox 64

3. Star Fox 64

Beyond the memes and Slippy's epic incompetence, Star Fox 64 is such a great game. Multiple routes, great bosses, short but effective voice acting, barrel rolls (damn it), and the craziest submarine I've ever seen. It's where I got my user name. Lots of respect for this game.

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

4. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon

Crazy, Japanese, and completely off the wall dungeon design. Ghost Toys Castle, Festival Temple Castle, and the Gourmet Submarine Castle made for an unforgettable adventure. Great music too.

Perfect Dark

5. Perfect Dark

The sheer number of awesome guns in this game has yet to be beaten by anything I've seen so far in my natural life. The laptop gun is always on top.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

6. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

This game ruined the third grade for me. It's my favorite Zelda game.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

7. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Super Mario RPG introduced me to the concept of RPGs. It also introduced hit points, stats, equipment, and Croco. Purple crocodiles with crocodile skin shoes have never been so entertaining.

Rock Band 2

8. Rock Band 2

I love music and I love games. Anytime I can combine them to have some simple fun is fine by me. Export option secured a great spot since I could play Highway Star without switching discs.

Mega Man 5

9. Mega Man 5

Best Mega Man game ever. Everything about this installment hits the right notes with me. Music, level design, robot masters- everything.

Chrono Trigger

10. Chrono Trigger

My first epic RPG. Also still one of the greatest.
