Showing 1-10 of 10 items

Dungeon Keeper

1. Dungeon Keeper

Blistering bollock barnacles Batman, this is the single best strategy game I have ever played.

Phantasy Star

2. Phantasy Star

My first ever RPG. Never completed it because I dropped the Flute, which was necessary to complete a dungeon.

Resident Evil 4

3. Resident Evil 4

The best Resident Evil. Also: Really great fire effects.

Team Fortress 2

4. Team Fortress 2

TFC was my Counter-Strike. TF2 is my TF2. Always new skills to learn, and with all the free updates, there's always something new.

Super Mario Galaxy

5. Super Mario Galaxy

This game broke my brain.

Super Mario World

6. Super Mario World

I like all the Marios, but this really is The One. Well, it's either this or 3.

Final Fantasy IX

7. Final Fantasy IX

For partially nostalgic reasons, this is my favourite Final Fantasy.

Streets of Rage 2

8. Streets of Rage 2

Got it with my Mega Drive (yes, that's right, Mega Drive) and played it to death. It's not complex, it's extremely repetitive, but man oh man is it a fun romp - and it holds up too.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

9. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I love all the Zeldas, except the second one (oh and those CD-I ones). The reason I picked Twilight Princess is that this one is the perfect distillation of everything Legend of Zelda, executed on a grand scale. I think The Wind Waker might have been more fun, the first half at least, and Ocarina is noteworthy for its innovation, but overall I probably enjoyed this one the most.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV

10. Sid Meier's Civilization IV

Well, it had to be a Civ game, and this one has all the great new stuff from III (borders for one thing), but the production values really ramped up. Great soundtrack, good graphics, and finely tuned mechanics make this game a staple.
