Tomb Raider

1. Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is the greatest game of all time. The game that introduced to world to Lara Croft and started a revolutionary franchise of games, movies, comic books, and more looks and feels just as amazing today as it did in 1996. While Tomb Raider 2 holds the spot as my favorite Tomb Raider game, the original Tomb Raider holds the legendary spot as the amazing game that started it all.

GoldenEye 007

2. GoldenEye 007

The greatest FPS of all time. The gameplay is as simple and addictive as an FPS gets, the massive arsenal of weapons is quite breathtaking, the number of levels and objectives never grow old, the multi-player is addictive and very playable, even to this day. The whole game is just the ultimate FPS experience and it never grows old.

Omikron: The Nomad Soul

3. Omikron: The Nomad Soul

One of the few games that combines multiple genres into one game and comes out perfect. The game combines FPS, Role-Playing, Fighting, and Adventure all into one game. Add one of the most amazing storylines ever featured in a game, and you have one of the greatest games of all time.

Half-Life

4. Half-Life

While Doom put the FPS genre on the map, Half-Life stepped it up to the next level. Featuring one of the longest, creepiest single-player campaigns in video-game history, and one of the most addictive multi-player modes as well. Half-Life remains to this day as a blueprint that most FPS games follow, yet nothing has matched it yet.

Enemy Zero

5. Enemy Zero

One of the most challenging and unique games I own. Everything from the unique gameplay, to the amazingly immersive story, to the simple but effective puzzles, to even the amazingly beautiful soundtrack by composer Michael Nyman is completely original, unique, and legendary. Kenji Eno is a genius.

Crash Bandicoot

6. Crash Bandicoot

While its not my favorite Crash Bandicoot game, it belongs on the Top 20 for being the game that started it all. I believe that Crash Bandicoot could be the most simple, addictive platform game of all time. The game is also challenging enough to be rewarding and this ends up making the replay value ridiculously high.

Metroid Prime

7. Metroid Prime

A very atmospheric, beautiful FPS game. Metroid Prime features some of the most beautiful and chilling environments ever portrayed in a video game. With equally as amazing gameplay and sound, Metroid Prime was an instant classic from the moment it was released.

Thief: Deadly Shadows

8. Thief: Deadly Shadows

Another game where the story is almost worth the price of the game alone. But the gameplay still shines, taking elements from the original Thief games, some elements from the Splinter Cell games, and some amazingly dark and gorgeous worlds, making this not only the best Thief game yet, but one of the greatest games of all time.

Halo: Combat Evolved

9. Halo: Combat Evolved

One of favorite FPS games of all time and one of the few games I've completed 100% on. I remember endless nights filled with Halo tournaments and many Halo system link multi-player competitions. And as much fun as the multi-player was, the single-player campaign was even more amazing, featuring the best campaign of any Halo game to date.

Tomb Raider II

10. Tomb Raider II

My favorite game of the Tomb Raider series. It took all the amazing elements introduced by the first game and added a few vehicles, new weapons, new costumes, more levels, harder villains, and even more challenging puzzles, making it not only a legendary game, but my favorite Tomb Raider game.
