I've only been on this site for a few weeks, but it's pretty obvious the users here know their stuff.

In fact, the opinions presented here are, for the most part, better researched and better argued than those of most gaming journalists.

You play the games, you know the industry, you treasure the experiences.

So I'm sure many of you have a list of top 5 or even top 10 video games.

What are they?

My own:

1) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2) Deus Ex
3) Halo: Combat Evolved
4) Resident Evil 4
5) Final Fantasy III (SNES)

 

I'll keep track of the answers and update the OP.
