37) Gran Turismo (PS1)
My first ever Racing Game... It was quite the revolution for me as I'd never had much interest in cars back when GT came out nor did I think of getting a Racing Game but it was my Dad who got it and played it. I watched him play and saw how awesome it was and ever since I got so hooked into the racing aspect of games and that allowed me to explore games like Mario Kart 64 as well. It's all thanks to GT that I got into cars and racing games in the first place.
36) Starcraft Brood War (PC)
What?!! I'm Korean and Starcraft is this low?!!! Yes I'm Korean but Starcraft isn't my favourite game of all time, unlike a lot of Koreans. When I visit S Korea during the holidays years ago, the only thing I would play is Starcraft or Gameboy because that's what EVERYONE was playing. Of course at first I could never win a match because SC is after all a RTS which requires a lot of planning and quick movements and decision making. But with the assistance and tips from my friends, I began to really get the hang of Starcraft and pretty much got addicted to it and would not stop using Protoss. Yes Protoss forever!!!
35) Red Dead Redemption (PS3)
I've never played a Rockstart Game up until this year. I never liked GTA at all. I didn't know much about Rockstar. I don't like Western setting Games. I didn't even know that a game called Red Dead Redemption existed until a month before it's release date. If it hadn't been for my brother who continuosly begged me to buy him RDR in May and the rave reviews of RDR during May, I would've passed up on this exceptional game forever. Even though I don't like the Western Setting, that didn't change the fact that RDR is an amazing game.
The gameplay is great with cool addtions of Dead Eye, Morality Meter. The Open World of RDR blew me away as it is the most immersive Open Wolrd game. There was just so much to do in Read Dead. Hunting Animals, Breaking Horses, Shooting and tieing up bandits and outlaws, Clearing Gang Hideouts, etc and that's only to name a few of the many great gameplay aspects of RDR. It doesn't stop there. The Beautiful Night Sky, Sizzling Sunset afternoon, Quiet Dawn and the outstanding landscapes of RDR are astounding. The graphics are spectacular which makes the environment look even more stunning.
The Characters are great, especially John Marston himself, and are accompanied by top notch Voice Acting. In fact it's the second best Voice Acting job I've ever heard for a video game. It makes the characters and story so believable and compelling.
The only aspect that I felt was disappointing about RDR was that the Multiplayer didn't have a Match Making system. If it did have a match making system, it would've been one of the best games ever for me and higher up in my Top 50. But that aside, I have nothing but high praise and respect for Red Dead Redemption and Rockstar and I eagerly await what they do with Agent and future Rockstar Games other than GTA.
