I got a list and man, it was much harder than I thought.
50. God of War II - PS2
I really enjoyed this game from start to finish. Everything is done so well and it's one exciting ride from start to finish. I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes action games!
49. Assasin's Creed II - PS3
This game was another awesome time. I love the setting, the characters, and the vastly improved gameplay over the first. It was really one complete package. One game where I have a hard time believing that some wouldn't have fun playing it.
48. Bioshock 2 - 360
After playing the first Bioshock, which left me in absolute awe, I was eagerly anticipating the sequel. While the story wasn't quite as compelling as the first, it had better weapons and multiplayer. Some of the new additions made the game much more enjoyable.
47. Heavenly Sword - PS3
This game got under a lot of criticism for its short length, but I think the game deserves credit for being consistenly awesome throughout all of it. The story, done by Andy Serkis as well as lending his voice talents for the villian, was superb, and the characters were fantastic. Simplistic as some aspects may be, I found it to be tons of fun and truly enjoyable.
46. SSX Tricky - PS2
This is one of the iconic games of my childhood. A vast improvement over SSX and was a polished product from top to bottom. I spent hundreds of hours playing this with friends and family driving up our scores as high as we could. Nothing was better than coming home to the over the top style that Tricky had after a long day of school.
45. Dead Space - PS3
This game, to me, is the evolution of Resident Evil 4. It takes everything it did and improved on it. It's intense, engaging, and the atomsphere is used to create a truly eerie setting. There is no escape, you have no way to guarantee your life, safety and those of whom you're trying to protect. I really enjoyed every second of this one.
44. The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King - Xbox
I feel this game as another part of my childhood. I absolutely love LOTR and you get play in all of the epic battles of the second and third movie co-op. Tons of fun and replayability. Definitely recommend for a good time with fans of the series.
43. Metal Gear Solid IV: Gun of the Patriots - PS3
Easily one of the best movie games I've ever played. The setting was awesome and it was full of epic awespiring moments. My second favorite of the fabled series.
42. Star Wars Episode 1: Racer - N64
This game was my GT growing. I had so much fun racing, customizing my pod racer, and earning money. Tons of fun and really enjoyable. Lots of fond memories playing this.
41. Guitar Hero II - PS2
I struggled mightly when trying to play the music games of this generation, but I still feel that this one was the best. It had a thrilling soundtrack with tons of songs worth playing over and over. Definite improvement of GH1 and the last really good GH game.
40. Dissidia: Final Fantasy - PSP
Screw the haters. This game was awesome. As I love Final Fantasy, I loved playing with characters from my favorite franchise. The actual battles were intense and exiting. A high octane battle system with a awesome character list easily lands a spot in my top 40.
39. Star Fox 64 - N64
This game was quite a awesome feat for its time. It was so much fun and its campaign has some of the high replay value ever. I loved playing through it choosing different routes and taking down Andross through various different routes. A great and awesome time.
38. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - PS3
This is the first game in what is becoming another one of Naughty Dog's classic series. An engaging story, beautiful graphics, and good gameplay are more than enough to deserve a place on this list. An extremely polished game that is a fantastic experience to play through.
37. Fire Emblem VII - GBA
This was my first game is the extremely popular SRPG franchise. It has excellent characters and an engaging story that is only complimented by a fun, polished battle system. A must play for any SRPG fan.
36. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Xbox
This a great game and a very experience that would be much higher but it gets bogged down with its crappy ending. Definitely deserves a playthrough just for the experience of a truly great Star Wars game. One of the best WRPGs out there (2nd best all time, imo).
35. Red Alert 2 - PC
This was the first RTS that I ever put a ton of time into. Introduced and played with by family, I have nothing but fond memories of it. It caused me to love the genre and led way to many other startegy games. No other series is very similar to this one, nothing can beat the live action actors.
34. DJ Max Fever - PSP
This the first game in the DJ Max series to ever make it stateside. It's a Korean rhythm game similar to Beatmania, DDR, etc. It has TONS of content and has an awesome soundtrack. It's a game that is truly pick up and play and tons of fun. High reccomendation for this gem.
33. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Xbox 360
This one beautiful and engrossing game. I spent so much time on this game. The story was crap, but the world that Bethesda crafted was awesome. Interacting with the characters, towns, and environment. It felt like something right out of a fantasy novel. It also does first person very well for a RPG. Combat works well and you never feel to overwhelmed by having to shift the camera a lot. Definite recommendation to anyone who has a lot of time on their hands. You're about to sink a lot into the world Cyrodill.
32. BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - PS3
The wheel of fate is turning. This is, hands down, the best fighting game of this generation. It has a few characters but each fight very differently. It has great online, a full story, arcade mode, and of course, traditional versus. I spent quite some time playing this one. As a Carl player, I had some difficulty at times, but all in all, an extremely well made game. As it is the evolution of Guilty Gear, it is a must play.
31. Final Fantasy VII - PS1
This is the landmark 3D JRPG. The pinnacle of the JRPG selling strength the catalyst of JRPG popularity in the States. This was many gamer's first JRPG, but it was not mine. I was late to the party with this one, and despite that, I was still impressed. It has an intriguing cast, a good battle system, and the materia system. The world the game is set in is also very interesting. The set up may borrow a bit from many things (big bad corporation!), but it certainly is quite an engaging place to travel around. This is a game that is better when measured as the sum of its parts, imo. (now speaking relative to the series itself) The plot was pretty lame and Cloud becomes incredibly lame as the game progresses. People tease Squall for being emo, but I found Cloud to be much worse. That aside, still a classic game that every gamer should experience. Tons of fun.
P.S. Still bitter that Aeris died. Favorite character in that game.
30. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - 360
I often consider this game to be the best FPS of all time, and it is in many respects. It has a fantastic, exciting campaign with some very interesting characters. The gameplay is exetremely smooth and works very well. I don't really have any negative things to really say about it. I put several days into the multiplayer. The experience system was the perfect motivator for "Just one more game".
