One of the first games to truly showcase the evolution of video games into a dynamic story-telling medium. Gorgeous graphics, realistic environments, memorable characters, and engrossing gameplay. While not everybody loved it, it remains one of my all time favorite gaming experiences.
A deep and impactful story which was probably a bit too complex for the age at which I played the game, so I basically enjoyed it for all the mech fighting that was going on. The soundtrack was a work of art as well.
One of the few games that I can recall spending long hours at the arcade playing. I was never good at the game back then, but to this day it remains one of my favorite fighting games for its fast pace and just being overall a lot of fun to play, without taking itself too seriously. Probably my favorite of the Mortal Kombat games.
A game that you would not expect to put over 430 hours into, yet somehow it managed to happen to me. One of those games that I would play up until 5 am in the morning, falling asleep with the controller in hand. I think the social elements kept me so involved with the game, and I still talk to some people online which I initially started talking to in the game. Great character design and a beautiful soundtrack made this a standout console game for its time.
Jet Grind Radio is such a wildly different game, and is a testament to the imaginative and creative Japanese game design. With superb art direction coupled with a crazy and offbeat soundtrack, Jet Grind Radio definitely has place on my all time favorites list.
One of the first console based games I had played when I got a Game Gear as a gift from my grandma. I never got into Mario games when I was young so Sonic the Hedgehog was the console mascot for me.
A generally underrated game showcasing what the DS was best at, utilizing two screens for frantic touch-screen action. With a lot of style behind its design, as well as a perfectly matched soundtrack, it was one of the best DS games released.
Space, aliens, guns. That should just about describe why it's on here, but this game was another defining moment of storytelling in games. With a complex world and story crafted by Bioware, along with its decision-making gameplay, Mass Effect 2 really makes you feel involved with its universe.
One of the earliest games that I have a good recollection of from my childhood, I played this on an Amiga. I think one of the reasons I was fond of this game back then was because it made it seem like you had more of a control over the world and the game itself through its text-bassed gameplay. I didn't know much English back then and had an English-speaking friend help me with playing through it, and I don't think I even got that far in it.
One of the few PC exclusive games that I recall enjoying, Sam & Max was hilarious and entertaining. The characters made for a perfect fit for a point-and-click adventure, and in my opinion this titles surpasses the recent Telltale Games series.
