Favorite Games of All Time

This is my list of all time favorite games. This list will grow and change over time and is in a particular order. If you notice games in a franchise close together, that's intentional. Games in a franchise usually are very intertwined in my mind and very usually end up close together in my favorites.

ICO

1. ICO

A perfect game from the insanely detail oriented Team Ico.

Shadow of the Colossus

2. Shadow of the Colossus

The follow up to Ico that proves that the team behind these two games is anything but a one hit wonder.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

3. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES

The game that dragged me into this amazing series. It had a profound effect on me.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

4. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4

Debatably better than 3 (and on certain days I'd certainly swap them), Atlus shows just how to do a JRPG right.

Valkyria Chronicles

5. Valkyria Chronicles

This game shocked me with how amazing it is. The art, the gameplay, the heart-string pulling story. An under-appreciated masterpiece.

Final Fantasy VIII

6. Final Fantasy VIII

I'm a sucker for a good love story. I'm also a sucker for Final Fantasy. A perfect duo with VIII.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

7. Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Xenogears

8. Xenogears

You know how people like mention the first game that made them cry? Well, let's just say this game left me an emotional wreck.

Xenoblade Chronicles

9. Xenoblade Chronicles

Another shocker of a game with just how good it was. The open world was staggeringly beautiful, particularly for a Wii game, and the story goes places you would never dream any game to go.

Portal

10. Portal

Let's not mince words. This is one of the most perfect blends of narrative and gameplay to have ever been created. This game was a classic the second it was released.
