Your Favorite Games (Temp results up)

JSH357 · Post by **JSH357** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 11:36 pm

Just for fun, I want to make a big list of the "most favorite games ever" according to this site's userbase. Here's how it'll work. Just list your favorite computer and video games, let's say 5 minimum, 30 maximum. Try and keep them in an order based on how much you like them. I'll tally the results just like I do the OHR Top 30 polls.

Remember--I'm looking for your FAVORITES, not the BEST. If your favorites are the best, that's cool, just keep it in mind. In other words, if you have an emotional attachment to some game but feel it's not a classicaly great game, you can still list it. I wanna see games that appeal to you personally.

You can list both commercial games and indie games, but let's avoid traditional/card/pen&paper/board games/sports, OK? I guess that was obvious anyway.

I'll link to the list once I have three lists, and I'll update it as more people add lists. On that note, if you ever feel like changing yours, just edit your post then reply to inform me.

Finally, feel free to discuss games/lists.

(Link will go here)

Guess I should clarify: You don't HAVE to have them in order, but it will affect their order on the list. I'd still advise putting them into "tiers" since I'd prefer taking placing into account; 3 or 4 points of difference isn't major anyway.

Ordered in alphabetical for now.

Multi-Player Tier (Much more fun than most single player games)
Bomberman 64, The Second Attack
Kirby SuperStar (Solo or Co-op, both are awesome)
Secret of Mana
Smash Bros (any of them)
Tales of Symphonia

Single Player Tier
Earthbound
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Fire Emblem (7)
Kirby 64, Crystal Shards

Throwing them into tiers, from highest to lower (not neccessarily 'lowest'), and positioning in the tiers is fairly nebulous.

Final Fantasy 7
Wind Waker
Street Fighter (if I had to pick, it'd be 3rd Strike, at least until I can play 4 which will probably ursurp it)
Ace Attorney series (if I had to pick, it'd be incredibly close between PW1 and PW3)
Mischief Makers
------------------
Metal Gear Solid series (if I had to pick, it'd be 3)
Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song
Pokemon series (can't choose)
Civilization series (if I had to pick, 4)
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
------------------
God Hand
Resident Evil 4
Pilotwings 64
Legend of Mana
Super Punch-Out!!
Final Fantasy 4
------------------
Full Throttle
Mass Effect
Majora's Mask
Chrono series (can't choose)
Megaman 3
Clash at Demonhead
------------------
Dynasty Warriors series
Sid Meier's Pirates! (both the remake and the NES version which I played for -hours-)
