Who's next!

[SpOoNmAn]

Gears of War has exceeded all my expectations and is far far better than I could have ever hoped for.

Not only does it replace Chaos Theory as numero uno, but the other 9 games in the list don't deserve to be in the same thread with GoW

It has spoiled me rotten

I admit that thinking of 25 was somewhat hard!

[Frodo 13]

You'll put me in a coma to sort out what games were 'da bomb' for me. And with my job as a game journalist, it is really going to make me explode.

[SpOoNmAn]

Wow, Gears is in the top 2 for some of you, thats impressive!

Looking at these lists, I forgot about a bunch of games. Nithom, nice to see Civilization series in someones list. I played that series for years.

[Quo]

I can't do 25. That requires way too much thinking, and I'm kinda old. I get hungry and my mind wanders...

These aren't really in order. But they're my favorites.

1. Final Fantasy VII - PS
2. Call of Duty 2 - 360
3. NCAA Football Series - Xbox
4. Final Fantasy Tactics - PS
5. Links Golf - PC
6. X Wing vs. TIE Fighter - PC
7. Battefield 2 - PC
8. BF2MC - Xbox (360 version just ticked me off...)
9. Red Alert Series - PC
10. Banjo Kazooie - N64
11. GTA: Vice City - Xbox
12. Duke Nukem - PC
13. Castle Wolfenstein - PC (you can't deny the original... played it for so many hours)
14. Burnout Revenge - 360
15. Oblivion - 360

See... I'm hungry. I can't remember anything else...

These games all left me thinking "Wow... now that's cool" for one reason or another. It looks as if Gears and COD3 will certainly make my top ten but I can't put them there yet, they're new and I've played them all of maybe 6 hours in total... and only on multiplay.

[Vanphyre]

Should be 25 there, some lumped together. Man it's hard to rank them though, I could shuffle this list 1000 times and still not be happy. These are the most memorable games for me though.... if I left any of you poor games off my list I'm sorry, just too many to list.

1. Everquest - PC
2. Legend of Zelda - NES
3. Metroid - NES
4. Super Mario Bros 1-3 - NES
5. Oblivion - Xbox 360
6. Resident Evil 1 - PSX
7. Resident Evil 4 - GC
9. Oddworld - PSX
10. Soul Calibur - Dreamcast
11. Prince of Persia - Xbox
12. Ninja Gaiden - Xbox
13. SSX - PS2
14. Legend of Zelda Windwaker- Gamecube
15. Might and Magic 1-3 - PC
16. FFXII - PS2
17. Metal Gear Solid 2 - PS2
18. Burnout 2 - Xbox
19. Powerstone 1 and 2 - Dreamcast
20. Legacy of Kain - Dreamcast
21. World of Warcraft - PC
22. Diablo - PC

[Quo]

good call on SSX, Vanphyre!

I forgot about that one. I loved that game, and I'm hoping that they'll come out with a similar one for the 360 with online play eventually. They really missed the boat with the last version on the xbox not including it.
