ActRaiser

1. ActRaiser

This game was both a decent sim city knock off and a decent side scroller. The combo of both aspects made it something entirely unique. This game is worth playing for the music alone.

Metal Storm

2. Metal Storm

Odd mechanic of reversing gravity made this a unique shooter. Also, robot on box looks awesome.

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge

3. Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge

While it is more well known than I give it credit for, its still one of those titles that comes up in the longer gaming conversations.

Age of Mythology

4. Age of Mythology

A pretty straightforward RTS, but the mythological aspect appealed to me more than some RTSs with historical depth. Also, you can play as Bellerophon, which I am pretty sure is the only game you can do that in.

Aliens Versus Predator

5. Aliens Versus Predator

I am aware that the sequel is superior to this game, but there is something about this game that I love.

Adventures in the Magic Kingdom

6. Adventures in the Magic Kingdom

This one is not a good game, but made up entirely of my own fetishes.

The Goonies II

7. The Goonies II

A rare mix of lite RPG and side scrolling. Not sure if its my love for the game or the movie, but I remember enjoying it.

Mirror's Edge

8. Mirror's Edge

I played this game about a year after it came out and could not begin to understand all the negative reviews it got. I loved it. Sure the controls are janky, but once you get over that it really is a fun and unique experience.

Far Cry 2

9. Far Cry 2

This game recieved mixed reviews when it came out, which I don't understand. Never have I gotten in so many old west style shootouts making it out alive by the skin of my teeth. Also it is pretty.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

10. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

A unique game that tricked the player by breaking down the 4th wall. Not enough people played this game.
