User Ratings
| Title | Score |
|---|---|
| Dead Rising (I know I loved this game, and still do, but I know it has its flaws (saving system, time-based missions, etc.)) | 10(8) |
| Gears of War (I'll admit I was very impressed with the graphics at the time, but 3/4 years later(?), I'd never think of playing through it again due its lack of story, memorable characters, etc., but the game obviously shines in its shoot-and-cover system) | 10(9) |
| Starcraft (At the time, I never realized how popular it was outside my circle of friends, hell, they never even mentioned it to me, but when I first laid my hands on this game, it was far from mindless clicking and dragging) | 10(10) |
| Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles (That's about right) | 10(10) |
| Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 (I have fond memories of this game from my middle school trip to Six Flags. I think I got the last world and stopped) | 10(10) |
| Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (My first GTA game and I know for certain I clocked at least 150 hours into this thing) | 10(10) |
| Starcraft: Brood War | 10 |
| BioShock (If anything, I'd criticize this game for its less than exquisite gunplay) | 10(9) |
| The Orange Box | 10 |
| Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords | 10 |
| Super Mario 64 | 9.6 |

| Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 | 9.5 |
| NBA Live 2001 | 9.1 |
| Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory | 9.1 |
| New Super Mario Bros. | 9.1 |
| The Sims 2 (Probably The Sims series of games that I have spent the most time with, including The Sims 3. It felt like such a huge leap from the last series of games) | 9.0(9) |
| Half-Life 2: Episode One | 9.0 |
| Elite Beat Agents | 9.0 |
| Counter-Strike: Source | 9.0 |
| Counter-Strike: Condition Zero | 9.0 |
| The Sims 2 Nightlife | 9.0 |
| Jade Empire | 9.0 |
| Halo 3 | 9.0 |
| Final Fantasy VII | 9.0 |
| Silkroad Online (My cousin got me into playing this game one summer making it my very first MMO. Eventually, I got tired of grinding then went on to World of Warcraft. The massive amount of grinding you had to do in this game only helped my patience in other MMOs. So, I guess I owe it that.) | 8.6(6) |
| Resident Evil 2 | 8.6 |
| Ken Griffey Jr.'s Slugfest | 8.6 |
| Wario Land 4 | 8.6 |
| Half-Life: Opposing Force | 8.6 |
| Viva Pinata | 8.5 |
| Final Fantasy VIII (This is my favorite Final Fantasy game now that I've played through most of the 3D ones. I'm a sucker for love stories.) | 8.5(9) |
| The Sims 2: Open for Business | 8.5 |
| WWF No Mercy | 8.4 |
| Cruis'n USA | 8.3 |

| The Sims 2 Seasons | 7.4 |
| The Sims 2: Pets | 7.2 |
| True Crime: Streets of LA | 7.1 |
| Pocketbike Racer | 7.0 |
| Ultimate Spider-Man (I'd probably say this is my favorite Spider-Man game, I remember replaying through it again last year and had a blast. Simplicity of the moveset compared to other Spider-Man games might have left an impact.) | 7.0(8) |
| The Sims 2: Glamour Life Stuff | 6.1 |
| True Crime: New York City | 6.0 |
| Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku (I blame my childhood spent on watching Dragon Ball Z) | 6.0(6) |
| The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff (I can't even remember what was in this "Stuff" pack, but if I had to guess then there was probably some objects I didn't care about since they didn't increase my Sims' "Environment" stat enough.) | 5.1(-) |
| Superman (I do have the game and couldn't get past breathing ice(?) into these tornadoes(?). Can't remember, but I know I wasn't having any fun. Funky controls, don't like Superman, etc.) | 1.0(1) |
