Final Fantasy VII

1. Final Fantasy VII

Arguably the best RPG of all time. With a plot second to none and a cast of so many memorable characters, this is definitely my favorite RPG. This game was actually so good, it has pretty much stopped me from playing any future RPG's, simply because I feel that none of them will be able to live up to the bar set by FFVII. Still waiting on that remake Square...

World of Warcraft

2. World of Warcraft

WoW is probably the second MMORPG that I had ever played. I tried Everquest for a brief period but that game was way to convoluted. So after hearing about the excellent reviews that WoW was given, I had to pick it up. And the rest is history. I've been playing for about 3-4 years now. It really is a great game if to just come and go with. Never got addicted to it which is why I think I enjoyed it for such a long time.

Halo: Combat Evolved

3. Halo: Combat Evolved

Guitar Hero

4. Guitar Hero

By far one of my favorite games ever. I got introduced to this game my freshman year in college because I kept nagging my roommate to bring it. I have very fond memories of playing this game in my dorm room freshman year. It is also the game that greatly opened my musical taste to such greats as Megadeth, SRV, ect. This game's music is what I remember most about my freshman year of college. Well that and, you know, all the stuff I learned.

Rock Band

5. Rock Band

This game (originally the first Guitar Hero) has really helped me refine the music I listen to. Also, drums are fun as hell.

Metal Gear

6. Metal Gear

One of the sickest game franchise ever. So many insane characters, plot twist, crazy boss fights, and bizarre conspiracies that it's just a series you can't help but love. "Metal Gear?!"

Splinter Cell

7. Splinter Cell

I absolutely love the Splinter Cell series. I fell in love with it back in 2002 when I first played the game. I've always enjoyed the the series realistic approach to the games and love the unique bunch of characters. Plus the multiplayer is probably the best I've ever played.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

8. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Call of Duty

9. Call of Duty

My love for the CoD franchise started back when the CoD fanchise began. The original CoD was one of my most beloved PC games ever. Not only was the single player campaign insanely fun and intense, but this is one of the rare cases in which I could not get enough of the games online multiplayer. I literally played the games multiplayer for a good year after the games release. Anyways, the CoD franchise has always been one of my favorites, even with a few of lackluster entries (read: anything not developed by Infinity ward with the exception of CoD:United Offensive).

Deus Ex

10. Deus Ex

This was the first FPSRPG that I had ever played. And I absolutely loved it. By combining the controls of an FPS with upgrades to guns and abilities to fit different playing styles made it an instant hit. It also helped that the story was awesome and it was filled with conspiracies. To sum it up, think Mass Effect, but first person and way before it.
