They were others but these I will never forget.

This is one game I truly don't get the hype over. Firstly, the game mechanics are brain dead easy, nearly impossible to die in this game. The story is far from captivating as well. I made it as far as the robot city where you're chasing rats, and just said "awwwww fuck this."

Same goes for the Witcher 2, brain dead easy button masher, derivative story. Better off reading a novel, than sitting through this crap.


Games that get a thumbs up from me in the past 25 years.

Baseball Stars - Basic Arcade Style Baseball, no long drawn out simulation crap which is oh so prevalent nowadays
Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball - See Above, fun as hell. Probably best baseball game ever made.
Fire Pro Wrestling Returns - Best wrestling engine, for peeps who followed ECW back in the day. Wrestling Purists take heed.
Day of Defeat - Awesome WWII pc fps from Valve. Craps all over CS, when CS was cool.
Mass Effect Trilogy - Amazing story/world creation. The ending is a "take it or leave it."
Dead Space 1 & 2 - Part 1 brings the scare, part 2 brings the tension.
Bioshock - Ayn Rand is turning in her grave. The sequel had better game play, but felt a little flat.
Dark Souls - All other RPGS fall short of Lord Gwyn's glory.
NFL 2K5 - 7 years later, Madden still fails.
X-COM UFO Defense - Intense strategy game with varying degrees of difficult. Good luck keeping a troop for more than 2 missions.
Final Fantasy Tactics - Great story, solid tactical strategy experience
Suikoden 1 & 2 - Great story, villains, cast. People who fap to Chrono, must have not play Suikoden.
Arkham Asylum/City - Batman ftw
Sleeping Dogs - Wei motherfucking Shen, severely overlooked game.
Limbo - Best ambiance of any game I ever played.

Demon's Crest - SNES
This game is UNDERRATED! It's top 10 quality, but you've probably never heard of it. The gameplay is great, the graphics were great, and the music is great.
 
Alien Substance

Alien Substance

Evanesce
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy - PS2/Xbox/Gamecube (A hidden gem, in my opinion)




Heavy Rain - PS3 (Epic story, captivated my soul)



God of War III - PS3 (Great gameplay and cinematic elements, along with mouth-watering graphics)

(By the way, the cover art for GOWIII looks lazy like the U.S. Congress. Good thing the game is not slothfully made)

Minecraft - PC/XBL Arcade/Mobile (Hella addicting, 'specially on the PC; mods are available and extend life)




The Binding of Isaac - PC (Wonderful gameplay; the religious aspects are very interesting; though it does take a bit of piecing together to make sense of it, the story is quite dark)

Resident Evil Zero - 6

Metal Gear Solid 1, 3, and 4

Resonance of Fate - This game will test your patience..and your ability to grind using the weird ass battle system.

Valkyria Chronicles - Surprise hit from Sega. Its a shame the sequel got put on psp. The visual style is a much needed break from the greys and browns of realistic games. Combine WWII era weaponry with gameplay sort of like a 3d Shining Force....speaking of...

Shining Force 1&2 - Holy shit are these games long as fuck. And on the sega genesis too. Most impressive. Satisfying TBS RPG.

Shadow of the Colossus - I can see where the appreciation for this game comes from, and its worth playing through once at least, but that's about it. (of course thats my opinion, as some people revere the game as being exceptionally high on their lists)

Final Fantasy XII- Anyone? I understand the annoyance with this game, but as far as the battle system goes I think it was actually better than XIII's. The ability to equip your characters with anything you wanted was a neat touch. I didn't like how the whole political story unfolded, but the battle system imo is actually quite good.

Dark Souls - The RPG of RPG's in a long while for me. This is the only game I play where no matter how much I play it, I will still die. Granted I will die less, but die nonetheless. Tight, focused, completely in control combat and a huge world to explore is a win win in my book. Don't play this game if you aren't willing to discover the lore for yourself, or if you are susceptible to high blood pressure.

Uncharted series - Damn, its not so much the gameplay that gets the recommend, but more so how the characters present and interact throughout that make this worth getting into. Each game is a standalone story, so its not like skipping 2 is going to make you suffer anything in 3. The game is presented with this very movie like quality, but the gameplay is also top notch.

Odin Sphere - This was a surprise for me. Its a 2d sidescrolling action rpg. You play a cast of 4 or 5 character's from different points of view and sides of the story unfolding. Some character's cross paths and fight in certain story arc's and as you complete each character a little more of the story begins to fall into place. The stories aren't back to back, as each character experiences their story at different start and end times for their arcs. I still have not defeated the final boss because its just too damn tedious and I gave up. I'll get back to it eventually though.

You are completely right son ov timmet, chrono trigger was super easy, too easy really. But it was the many endings and story paths that were what made it good to me.

Killphil, if you liked dark souls, you gotta try demons souls too!
