Top 10 games I think of the 2005-2013 generation. Overrated? Absolutely!
Showing 1-10 of 10 items
Easily my most enjoyed game of the generation. I'm a sucker for Westerns and open-world games, and when Rockstar first announced this game, I was already in.
Oblivion was the first game I ever got on the Xbox 360, and Skyrim was just a massive improvement over it. Definitely the most time I've ever spent on a single game.
This was a perfect balance between RPG and space action. While the story is fairly simple, it's just a fun game to go to and have your actions from the first one just improve the experience, even if they're barely noticeable.
Incredibly pretty game, dark story, and a great combat system over the first makes this one of my favorite RPGs this gen. The added bonus of taking my choices from the first game was a neat surprise, as the characters or stories you hear about from it makes the story even more personal.
I'll be honest: this was my first Baldur's Gate game I've played. And I enjoyed it immensely. Playing through the different origin stories alone was fun romp, and I really hope Inquisition fixes a lot of the missteps they took in the 2nd one.
The only other Civ game I was able to get into was Civ Rev, as the previous ones I would constantly lose due to mismanagement and general lack of knowledge of how things worked. Civ V streamlined this in their tutorial and addons, and the amount of days I've lost playing this game tells a lot of how much I like it.
If 5 words could describe this game it would be "Game of Thrones: The Game." It's the most fun I've ever had at losing a game, and then having my successor rise up and get revenge. The amount of stories generated is just fantastic, and the additions Paradox has added over the years just makes it even better.
This was my main reasoning of getting a PS3, as Brad's gushing review of it and the quick look just had my mouth drop by just the visual splendor the game had. Definitely one of, if not the best PS3 game for the console.
I'll honestly say that I haven't played the 2nd one yet, but Galaxy is THE best 3D Mario game. The music, the levels, the fluid graphics...everything. It just made me have the stupidest grin on my face everytime I turned on the Wii and played it.
Easily the best co-op game of the generation. My roommates and I powered through the campaign whenever we'd get back from class and just had a ton of fun.
