Your Top 25 Games of All Time

[The Great Destroyer]

The last two years have been fantastic for gaming, and after playing BioShock Infinite and the Last of Us (and b/c of GTA 5 coming out) I started to reconsider what my favorite games were. It was very hard to narrow it down and I couldn't come up with a particular ranking so I decided to list out my top 25 favorite games of all time. How does it compare to your list?

The Last of Us
The Walking Dead
BioShock
BioShock Infinite
Resident Evil 4
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Metroid Prime
Half-Life 2
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
Mass Effect
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Goldeneye 007
Super Mario Galaxy
Deus Ex
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
No More Heroes
Spec Ops: The Line
The World Ends With You
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Call of Duty 2
Batman: Arkham City
Pokemon Crystal Version
Final Fantasy VI
Yoshi's Island

[Vertigo]

Just choosing one example per series, as in the 25 albums thread. Though Unreal/UT, Civ 3/Alpha Centauri and HL2e2/Black Mesa might be cheating a tad.

Aliens vs Predator 2
Black Mesa
Doom 3
Ecco II: The Tides Of Time
Fight Night Round 3
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Jedi Knight 2
Knights Of The Old Republic 2
Left 4 Dead
Mass Effect
Max Payne 2
Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
Portal 2
Primal Rage
Rock Band
Skyrim
Rome: Total War
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
Sid Meier's Civilization 3
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Space Hulk VOTBA
Streets of Rage 2 (ridiculously tricky choice between 1 and 2)
Unreal
Unreal Tournament (2004 has better gameplay, original has better atmosphere and world-building)
Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (particularly Retribution's Last Stand mode)

[The Great Destroyer]

Just choosing one example per series, as in the 25 albums thread.

Yeah that's partially where I got the idea. On picking one per series, I tried to, but I hardly consider Bioshock 1 and Infinite as part of the same series anyway so they both ended up on the list.

[Mantra]

Man I don't think I play enough games to even come up with 25.

Skyrim
Goldeneye
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
Banjo Kazooie
Limbo
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Hitman: Blood Money

That's probably it. I'm sure there's a wealth of great games out there that I'm missing out on.

[ambergris]

I've been playing computer games since 1985, maybe even earlier. My father thought that computers are the future, so I should learn to work with them. Yeah, but mostly I played.

In no order, biased towards the present, and probably containing a few omissions:

1. Sid Meier's Civilization III
2. Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
3. Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon
4. Sid Meier's Pirates!
5. Elite II - Frontier
6. The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind
7. The Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim
8. Half-Life 2
9. World of Warcraft
10. Starflight
11. Starflight II
12. Lucas Arts' Zak McCracken and the Alien Mindbenders
13. Star Control II
14. Dune
15. Flashback
16. Sid Meier's Colonization
17. Planescape: Torment
18. Fallout II
19. Fallout III
20. Mass Effect II
21. Settlers
22. Alien Breed (the series)
23. LucasArts' Loom
24. MegaLoMania
25. Lemmings II

There are tones of games I am forgetting, but I'd probably not play many of those old 8-bit games with the same enjoyment as I did back then.

[Vertigo]

9. comix zone (genesis)

Very cool game. I just wish it was longer.





1. Sid Meier's Civilization III


I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that's the pinnacle of the series (Alpha Centauri aside). 4's interface and religion system bring me out in a rash, 5 has horrible AI and some weird pacing, and though the combat is interesting, I think the switch to hexes was unnecessary. The emphasis on flanking could still have played a part in the traditional stacked units / eight-way-movement dynamic.

I actually prefered Civilization III because it is most suitable for multiplayer games. Civ IV and V are too slow-paced for that. But yes, the pacing in general in V is not good. There are always good ideas in every game, but part III has the best combination of them. The maps in IV and V are so small. I like huge empires. The purists would prefer Civilization II because of that. But this game is clumsy in other regards, and looks ancient.

Agreed on all counts. I do like that Civ 2 can be run in a window though, I still dust it off every now and then so I can dominate the planet while doing something productive.

Thank goodness I played lots of video games in the 1990s so I can actually contribute 25 titles. And as a Nintendo fan from back in the day, why not? And this is also in no particular order, but I'm numbering it to make sure it is 25 games all in all. I still wish I had them all. I shouldn't have let people borrow any games back when I was in elementary and middle school.

1. Super Mario World
2. Super Mario Land
3. Super Mario Land 2
4. Super Mario Land 3 or Wario Land
5. Kirby's Dreamland
6. Kirby's Dreamland 2
7. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
8. Star Fox
9. Star Fox 64

21. Super Mario World 2 or Yoshi's Island
22. Super Smash Bros.
23. Super Smash Bros. Melee
24. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
25. South Park

So many good times and memories. (With some lost ones.) It sucks that people do a thing called borrow shit and never return it though. To the "Little things that piss you off" thread. :p

[Wretchedest]

My rules:
Narrative and competitive games must be separated. Games can qualify for both categories

Final Fantasy Series
Shadow of the Colossus

La noire
Zelda series

Street Fighter
Smash Bros.
Halo
Starcraft
Persona 4 arena
Mortal Kombat
Left 4 Dead Series
Pokemon series

[ericy210]

Thanks for mentioning life force, Frankie. Haven't thought of it in years. Great, great game. Time to find it in my parents basement with all that other classic nes

[Clownboat]

I can't think of 25 at the moment, but here are three that changed my life forever and will always be close to me:

The Dig
Doom
Dark Souls

These three are more important than any list of 25 could possibly describe.

[ManBurning]

Wow, nice to see this idea catching on in other sections of the forum. I'm not sure if this thread popping up is a co-incidence, or it was created based on my top 25 albums thread in the musical revolution, but this is the kinda thing I love! Lists! haha

I wasn't sure if this was even going to catch on with the community, but i'm glad it did. Now someone just has to complete the circle and make a top 25 movies of all time in the cinema section and we're all good!



i'm generally an old school gamer only, mostly NES, so pardon the dust on this list:


You're my kinda gamer Frankie Teardrop! Wow, what a great list! I'm generally an old school gamer as well, but there have been soooo many awesome new xbox live arcade games that follow the 8 and 16 bit formula from the retro days, it's hard to not include them on the list. They are just as awesome as their old school counter-parts.

Anyway, let's take a stab at this... this might be harder than the top 25 albums list...

In no particular order (other than the order they come to my head)

1. TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES)
2. Super Mario RPG (SNES)
3. Battletoads (NES)
4. Mega Man 3 (NES)
5. Super Meat Boy (XBLA, PC)
6. Castle Crashers (XBLA, PS3)
7. Final Fantasy 3 (SNES)
8. Goldeneye 007 (N64)
9. Mario Kart 64 (N64)
10. Star Fox 64 (N64)
11. Contra 3 (SNES)
12. Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES)
13. Super Mario 3 (NES)
14. Hard Corps: Uprising (XBLA)
15. Mega Man 9 (wii eshop / XBLA / PSN)
16. Battletoads in Battlemaniacs (SNES)
17. Toejam and Earl (Sega Genesis)
18. TMNT: The Arcade Game (Arcade version)
19. Scott Pilgrim Vs the World (XBLA, PS3)
20. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
21. Mega Man X (SNES)
22. Earthworm Jim (SNES, Genesis)
23. Maximum Carnage (SNES, Genesis)
24. Awesomenauts (XBLA, PS3, PC)
25. Wild Guns (SNES)

That was extremely hard... I had to leave off so many classics...

[frankie teardrop]

Yoshi's Island

UNDERRATED! i played through the original mario world hundreds of times as a kid, but never bought this, only rented it for one weekend and it never left my mind. i have to give this another shot soon...



10. Star Fox 64 (N64)
11. Contra 3 (SNES)
20. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
21. Mega Man X (SNES)
22. Earthworm Jim (SNES, Genesis)
23. Maximum Carnage (SNES, Genesis)
25. Wild Guns (SNES)

excellent choices! almost put wild guns on mine...

just hunkered down with a LOT of classics this weekend, blew through turtles in time and a bunch of sports games with a buddy, tried rock n' roll racing (pretty good!), finally beat super star wars, ran through super mario 2 this morning in honor of the president of nintendo's recent passing, and had another successful playthrough of actraiser with max population and all items! my thumbs are killing me.

i hear mega man 9 is awesome! i'll have to try it out. 2 was always my favorite of the original series...

[ManBurning]

i hear mega man 9 is awesome! i'll have to try it out. 2 was always my favorite of the original series...

Oh yeah, MM9 is spectacular! Total throwback to the old school games, specifically 2. It's just Mega man and his piddily little buster. No charge shot, no slide, no gimmicks.
Really well done game. Wish I could say the same about MM10, but it was a lackluster rush. You could tell the rushed it out, probably because they wanted to conclude the series with a nice whole number like 10.

My personal favorite is number 3, but 2 is great as well.

[xmd 5a]

It was the very first game I ever played. My parents got me it and a SNES for my 5th birthday. It is by far the game I've spent the most hours playing in my life and as such I HAD to put it up the top of my list. Unfortunately I lost the original cart years ago but I've still got the GBA version lying around somewhere.

Screw the Konami Code, it's all about X X Y B A.

[50 Volt Phantom]

No order...

Doom

Portal 2
The Dig
Below the Root (probably nostalgia talking)
Mega Man (either 1, 2, or X)
Castlevania IV
Day of the Tentacle
Street Fighter II
Battle of Olympus
Lunar II: Eternal Blue

On a side note, a game that I thought was absolutely brilliant but I never hear anyone talking about is Contra: Shattered Soldier. It's a better and more finely tuned Contra game than Hard Corps, which makes it the best and most finely tuned Contra game ever. It's also unbelievably hard, but you can go through the entire game without getting hit/killed once if you know the layout. I actually played that game enough with my brother that we were able to get through the entire game without getting hit and scoring 100% completion on every level, unlocking the final boss form and beating him. I sometimes wonder if ANYONE else in the world actually ever pulled that off...

Also, if this list wasn't already too full of JRPGS, I'd list Dragon Quest VIII, because it's perfect.

[Sallos]

Only PC games. Never cared much for consoles.

1. Infantry Online (best online experience)
2. Quake (first FPS)
3. Rogue Spear
4. Quake 3 Arena

7. Fallout
8. Morrowind (the last decent TES imo)
9. Carmageddon 2 (good days)
10. Planescape Torment
11. Diablo II
12. Neverwinter Nights (thanks to fan made modules and online content couse OC sucked dick)
13. Vietcong (In multiplayer was, and despite the arcade elements, was the best realistic war "simulator" i've ever played. No bunny hopping, you'd always need to crawl/prone to stand a chance and ocasionally switch to the enemy's weapon (m16/AK vice versa) to try not to get killed.
14. Killing Floor
15. Chivalry Medieval Warfare
16. Jedi Knight Outcast
17. Deus Ex
18. Tribes Ascend
19. Thief/ Thief II
20. Hitman (though Hitman 2 was nice as well, i liked the 1st one's atmosphere better)
21. Vampire Bloodlines the Masquerade (if your into vampires do yourself a favor and play this game, makes anything else, vampire related look like crap. Amazing Soundtrack aswell.)
22. Urban Terror
23. Wolfenstein Enemy Territory
24. GTA II
25. Haven and Hearth

[Wretchedest]

I love this thread. Its super diverse and very insightful.

First of all: someone put Turok on top. I love you.

Second: if you look at these lists it really calla attention to games as a dividing medium. Do Earthworm Jim, Final Fantasy, and Marvel vs. Capcom and Bioshock all belong on the same list? All great games. All at the very peak of what they do. But are the same artistic medium. I just cant bring myself to think so. Theyre all so different. You come to each of those games for a completely different reason. Different from how you would come to "Dumb and Dumber" for different reasons than you'd come to Fellini's "8 1/2". Final Fantasy MVC and Bioshock arguably have much bigger gaps between then than those two movies.

Games have changed a lot over the years so its interesting to watch us struggle to take games from our Sega Genesis days and try to shove then in the same list as GTA V or The Last of Us.

I guess that all depends on if your top 25 is 'the top 25 games I've played, enjoyed and loved in my lifetime' or 'these are the 25 game I think are most important to gaming as a whole'. Those lists would be very different (with some crossover).
If it was just hours played, I'm sure lists would be different again.. I think all my toilet breaks playing Jetpack Joyride would put that up in the top 10 of all time...

But yeah it does go to show how broad games are these days, with film, you sit and watch, all it asks is your time, games ask your time and input and let you define when you want to continue, if you want to go a different path, explore a side-quest or master a combo. As Dara O'Brein points out in one of his stand up routines, they are also one of the only mediums of entertainment that locks content away from you if you are not good enough. If you can't finish a mission, you can bottle neck and never see the end of the story. Imagine if a film did that? "Do you understand that scene in Breathless? Watch it again before scene 10 continues!"

Oh Beneath A Steel Sky. Something for people who don't know: in Belle Vue, you'll meet a guy called Gallagher who will basically on a seeemingly nonsensical philosophical rambling. When you complete the game, listen to what he says again and HOLY SHIT IT ACTUALLY MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

Like frankie teardrop, i'm an oldschool gaming nut. I'm glad to see some of the rest of you are too.
I had to leave off a LOT, most notably Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. Most men of a certain age pumped so many quarters into these games and then went batshit crazy when they came out for SNES. But ultimately, those were arcade games and i was going for console.

[Vertigo]

I think we have to draw the conclusion that there's some parallel between being a NIN fan and a vintage Nintendo fan - the ratio here is skewing that way to an increasingly ludicrous degree. I need to get a Sega 16-bit t-shirt printed in time for the London concert, so I can fight the good fight with you bunch of heathens.

Hey now, i put gunstar heroes and hedgehog in there!
I think the thing is age combined with the fact that most people had nintendos, not segas.
I just started playing sega genesis in the past few years, and yes, it has some REALLY great games.
What are your favorites?

[Vertigo]

Well, I was a little surprised to see the original Sonic lurking in your list, actually. 2's the one most people consider the best of the series, and makes some massive improvements on the original (though I do love 1's atmosphere and pace), and Sonic CD gets a lot more love too. Personally, 3 & Knuckles is my favourite of the series, and I think it's one of the best games of that generation. Long, complex, varied, endlessly replayable, perfectly paced, loads to do, the apex of that original 2D Sonic gameplay dynamic, gorgeous artwork and animation, insanely fun, and even had a little bit of a narrative.

Anyway, my list's back on the last page, it's the thread's second post.

[kel]

2. maniac mansion (NES)

YES. the only nes game i still own. so brilliant.

[ManBurning]

14. EVO

Awesome, EVO! You don't see that game on too many people's "top games" lists. Very underrated game. I still have a copy. Quite a hard to find/rare game as well.

Top 25 seems a bit much for me: there’s a huge gap I’m missing for when I stopped playing games. I didn’t own a PS3 or a XBOX 360.

1. Dark souls- The series that brought me back to playing video games. Praise the sun ETS .
2. Dead space- I’ll never forget the hunter and the noise he makes, it’s incredibly scary.
3. Alien Isolation- literally the scariest game I ever played. I would hide in lockers and I would have to talk to myself to come out and play the game. Yeah headphones and weed : l
4. Bloodborne. Loved everything about this game and sad when it ended. Fear the old blood.
5. Dark souls 3
6. Dark souls 2. Loved it. Was my introduction into the soul series. I went back to this game after beating all the other ones and man the combat is slow!
7. Resident evil 7- Jack Baker and the chainsaw fight was incredible.
8. NBA 2k. The first one was such a change from NBA Live, god damn those games sucked. Kind of makes you wonder if NFL 2k had a chance where would they be now because I’m not a fan of the madden series.
9. NFK 2K. Game was way better than madden. This should’ve been the go to football game series.
10. Tony Hawk. Yeah I enjoyed it ��
11. Quake 3- PC version
12. Super Mario 3
13. Super Metroid
14. Super Mario RPG
15. Mario kart - Super Nintendo
16 Zelda - a link to the past
17 Resident Evil. PS1
18 Grand Turismo 3
19 Super Punch out
20. Zelda - NES
21Link. NES
22. Warcraft. 56k modem!
23. Outlast
24. Ghouls and Ghost . NES. Probably the hardest game I ever played. These NES games were the hardest for me .
25. NWO vs WCW Revenge. N64


Golden Eye should’ve made the this but whatever

I missed the boat on world of Warcraft, I bet I would’ve got addicted too.

I've got to add a few I've played in the past few years.

Star Wars: KOTOR goes somewhere near the top.

Heavy Rain is unreal and i would LOVE to play more like it

Retro City Rampage is SO much fun for an old school gamer and anyone who lived through the late eighties to mid ninetiesnineties

Cabelas Big Game Hunter: I would NEVER shoot an animal in real life but this game is SO relaxing and I love using it to unwind.

And finally, Alto's Adventure.
it's so simple but I just love it. I first got into it when my wife was in the hospital. It relaxed me and kept me sane. Then I got into getting the achievements.
Eventually i logged over 100 hours playing it. I got GOOD at it.
I still love it to death and I recently got a cell phone just so I could play the sequel :p

[Haysey_Draws]

How’s the Witcher 3 I just bought it a week ago but right now I’m playing the two games from Return to Arkham.

[Mantra]

How’s the Witcher 3 I just bought it a week ago but right now I’m playing the two game from Return to Arkham.

Sometimes I feel like The Witcher 3 is pretty much the greatest game ever made.

It does have some flaws. The combat is okay, but kind of clunky at times. But then again, I personally don't play games for combat mechanics, so some of that just comes down to personal taste.

The whole game is just this huge, beautiful, open world that you get lost in, but unlike every other game in that genre, it isn't filled repetitive, simplistic quests. Everything feels really hand crafted and high quality, like you're watching a film with high production values and strong writing. And it feels like real place with history and culture. It's awesome. It's kind of hard for me to play any other games in that genre, cause the Witcher 3 kind of spoiled me.

[Jinsai]
