I KNEW I'd forget something important XD

Flathead770 · **Reply #5 on:** December 11, 2007, 01:48:26 AM

well i don't think i can really name any that haven't already been listed previously.

Keni · **Reply #6 on:** December 11, 2007, 04:58:59 PM

These are from my opinion from games that are still not on the list.

1) Sonic Adventure (Great levels and good variety with different characters)

2) MegaMan X8 (This game got everything right from MegaMan X since the first three MegaMan X games. The difficulty can be frustrating though.)

3) Super Mario Galaxy (Awesome music and gameplay)

4) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney / Justice for All / Trials & Tribulations (Hilarious courtroom shenanigans and quirky characters and epic moments make this trilogy an instant classic.)

5) MegaMan Battle Network 3 (The pinnacle of the Battle Network series. A handful of endgame secrets and a great storyline)

6) Okami (I loved this game. Great Japanese culture and legend references. The storyline is great as well.)

7) Metroid Prime (This game wowed everyone with its transition from 2D to 3D and into a first person perspective.)

8) Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (Link's first DS adventure is pretty unique and creative with its puzzles and combats. Great use of the touch screen.)

9) Elite Beat Agents (A rythim game you can take everywhere that's addicting and fun. Warning, your touch screen may die if you put too much pressure into it XD)

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #7 on:** December 11, 2007, 05:55:21 PM

Okay, since there are SO many that I like, I'm going to put in a few rules for my list.

First off, I'll narrow it down to one game per franchise. (Which means there WON'T be two Mario games, two Zelda, etc.) Also, when I put it back in, I'd be able to play it for hours upon hours. Finally, it shall be narrowed down to only 10.

So, here we go! :^.^:

(In NO particular order)

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Megaman X
Donkey Kong 64
Banjo-Tooie
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Kirby Super Star
Pokemon Peral

Want me to put it in order? Good luck making me!

BANJO

OMG HOW'D I FORGET THOSE XD

Flathead770 · **Reply #9 on:** December 11, 2007, 08:16:07 PM

i like your way of doing this pokeplayer. My top ten, with only one game per franchise:

Zelda:Twilight Princess
Super Metroid
Super Mario galaxy
Resident Evil 4
Ikaruga
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Donkey Kong Country
Kirby's Adventure
Star Fox 64
Unreal Tournament 2004

None of them are in any particualr order

Manny Cav · **Reply #10 on:** December 12, 2007, 12:44:22 AM

Oh, shoot, I forgot to add Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

(you can do the two games separately, I guess)

pokeplayer984 · **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2007, 01:19:27 AM

Well Flathead, that's what I learned from ScrewAttack when they do their Top 10's.

(You should see how they did their PS3 Exclusives list.

)

Flathead770 · **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2007, 02:40:09 AM

i never knew they actually did it that way at screwattack, though i've only really seen a couple of the videos. I think i'll take a look into that PS3 one, as long as Sonic never made it into the top 10

action9000 · **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2007, 03:39:50 AM

Stepmania (I've probably played this FREE game more than any other game I have paid for.)

Donkey Kong Country (2 especially)
Sonic Adventure
Turok 2 (Kind of buggy but I loved the concept/gameplay/soundtrack)
Unreal Tournament 2004
Banjo-Kazooie
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Mario Party 2 (I still say it's the best in the series)
Diddy Kong Racing (original, entertaining...though some of the characters were practically unplayable)
Super Mario 64

Mario Party 2 (I still say it's the best in the series)

It's mine, too.

I've played Mario Party 1, 2, 3, and 7, and out of them all, 2 would still have to be my favorite. They removed the annoying control stick turning blister-inducing thing, set up an interesting theme setup, and the minigames are from a good crop. Mario Party 3 reminded me too much of Paper Mario.

Nick22 · **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2007, 02:31:14 PM

Diddy Racing was an addicting game, but I don't recall what the plot was...was there even a plot to the game?
The Legend of Spyro trilogy is up there for me. it has a great storyline, and top notch voice talent.
Mario 64 and Star fox 64 are among my favorites. I hope they have another Star Fox console game soon..

The bias fangirl in me wants to say that all the Silent Hill games should be on there. But the logical one in me says that there should just be at least one. I say "Silent Hill 2" deserves a spot up there for it's amazing psychological horror elements and unparalleled story). Plus, it's a great alternative to Resident Evil, since it's more thought-based than action based.

Also, Psychonauts should be up there. I've yet to see a fun, creative, and intelligent game done in that style before. Play it and I'm sure you'll be similarily amazed.

Quick note: Metal Gear Solid isn't a FPS, it's a stealth game...but could also be considered a Third-person shooter, sorta. But it's more stealth than anything else.
