#6. Diablo II (Lord of Destruction) (PC)

Diablo II (and its expansion Lord of Destruction) is propably the game I've put the most hours into. I've made countless characters, specializing in different skill tree, playing mostly online using the different "runs" to level up my character until he/she reached level 30 and then playing on my own. The character classes are all interesting to play (except for the Barbarian who I find incredibly boring) but coming from my experience with the first Diablo where I preferred the Rogue, I would always go back to the Amazon class, making many Bowazons and a couple Javazons.

The game's story was great and atmospheric but it's been a very long time since I've let the cinematics play or since I've actually listened to what the NPCs have to say, I guess that's bound to happen when you go through the story 3 times per character.

#5. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES, VC)

Here it is my favorite Zelda game: A Link to the Past. With more than 10 dungeons, a wide selection of items, a great art style, a nice difficulty this game never has a dull moment. In two minutes, you get your sword and shiled and you're off to rescue Princess Zelda from Aghanim. Then begins the quest to retrieve the Master Sword which to a trip to the dark world to rescue the 7 maidens. There's plenty of side quests mostly in the form of hidden pieces of hearts and optional items. You can also beat up chickens until they fight back!

#4. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

Over 400 hours of play time. More 6000 online Brawls. A fighting series like no other. SSBB is one of the reasons I became a frequent poster on this site, the Brawl thread was excellent to find opponents and to comment and whine about a heated match. Despite being mid tier at best, I never changed my main character and continued to kick ass with the mighty Peach. Of course, she wasn't the only I used Pikachu, Diddy Kong, Bowser, Yoshi, Ice Climbers, R.O.B. all got plenty of playtime.

I know the online mode wasn't all that great when you used to the "With anyone" option but with friends from VGChartz or Allisbrawl or Smashboards there's no other fighting game that even comes close.

#3. Final Fantasy VII (PS1, PSN)

I bought a Playstation solely for this game after renting it for a weekend. I don't give a damn about people calling it overrated, all I know is that it's the Final Fantasy game I enjoyed the most. The story was really interesting starting off with Cloud as an ex-membre of SOLDIER but as the story progressed you gradually learned that his past isn't exactly what it seems.

The materia system helps make this game incredible. Pairing magic with modifiers provides some really interesting abilities and combinaison and once you're done the main quest there's tons of sidequests you can tackle: chocobo breeding, hunting the Weapons, getting the final limits for every character, finding all Summons, the battle arena and various mini-games in the Gold Saucer.

Also I want to mention that the game has an awesome soundtrack once again composed by Nobuo Uematsu. My favorite track being the main theme that plays when you're walking around the world map (the Distant World version is magical).

13. Monster Hunter 3 (27)
12. Mario Kart DS (18)
11. Final Fantasy IV DS (7)
10. Super Mario Galaxy (8)
9. Metal Gear Solid (New)
8. Zelda ALttP (9)
7. Xenoblade Chronicles (New)

4. Chrono Trigger (4)
3. Super Mario Galaxy 2 (3)
2. Final Fantasy VI (2)
1. Zelda Wind Waker (1)




#2. Chrono Trigger (SNES)

The time-travelling RPG Chrono Trigger gets position number 2 for me. With a limited cast of 6 main characters (or 7 if you wanna count Magus) you are treated to a fun, quirky and great story. The game's combat system with it's Dual Techs and Triple Techs encourages mixing up the members of your team to discover new combinaison.

The "New Game +" option really adds to the game's replay value since you can replay the whole game with all the items and levels you've acquired in your previous game and you can face off against Lavos at any point during the story. Doing so gives you a different ending each time. If my memory serves me right, there's 16 different endings to this game and I've seen them all.
