ohhhhh shit i forgot about metroid prime. most fucking amazing game ever.

id love to play that on oculus rift.

Dead Space 2 is a really good game, but definitely nothing like your first time playing the original. Dead Space 3 is absolutely atrocious. My bro and I would play co-op, 2 screens next to each other, and it still took us a year to beat. It’s just so boring and generic. We’ve beaten RE5 literally like 10 times together (so those kinds of games can be a ton of fun), but getting through Dead Space 3 was chore.

Lots of people listing MGS3 instead of the original. It’s probably tied for me? The first one slightly edges it out just because it’s the first game that showed me video games can be a really special thing, I guess - more than just games to be beaten.

my new list

metroid prime
fzerogx
dungeon keeper 2
re4
phoenix wright series

yeah i nearly put Metroid Prime on my list too. such an amazing game.

DoTA

blech, wish Sakurai would understand that HIS team is the one at fault for why Brawl is such a defensive game

they also keep talking about these “pros” that take the fun out of the game for everyone, as if it’s these pro players’ fault for the game being the way it is, and not the designer for making a game conducive to bad strategies. The pros just want to win, so they’ll play the game in the way that makes it easiest to win. Nintendo/Sakurai really just want players to have fun without any thought of winning, I guess… well, make a better game and we’ll be able to do both, don’t keep blaming the players.

of course starcraft is on dans list (trollolol).

but seriously its good.

pokemon
starcraft
prince of persia sands of time
monster hunter
majora’s mask.

after playing windwaker hd I’m sure that’s probably my favorite of the series from basically every standpoint except nostalgia, which is too stronk :frowning:

dota has a real special place in my heart because its synonymous with the time I played vanilla wow

id take mgs3 over one because the gameplay is just so much more refined. twin snakes would edge it out had it not been for the insane over the top anime-ness about it(snake and ninja parkouring on falling slabs of concrete and missiles like its dmc)

Top 5 is tough:

Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Planescape Torment
Street Fighter (series)
Ultima Underworld 2

I dunno, I could list another 20 games that could make it.

yea top 5 is way too short. top 10 may be somewhat doable.
