#12 - SoulCalibur, the best fighting game ever made. Two made it to the list, of the four I like, which is actually not a bad score for the genre. SoulCalibur however, had something extra compared to the others. Weapons. And awesome weapons at that. The large variety ensured all characters in the game were extremely varied, from fast and short ranged fighters doing little damage to slow and long ranged fighters doing massive damage. The player really needs to learn how to play each character, as they all respond differently. This game was the game that finally convinced us ('the family') to get a SEGA console. Long after, I also got a Mega Drive (Genesis) but it began with the Dreamcast. Sadly, it also ended with the Dreamcast. This is the highest ranking Dreamcast game on the list, and for such a short-lived console it has quite a few games in my top 50. The console was awesome, and contrary to the rest of the world, I had Dreamcast instead of PS2. The graphics were amazing for the time, I still think they're better than PS2's. SoulCalibur was, along with Virtua Tennis, the first really graphically intense game I played. It's looks were out of this world. Although gameplay and the game's mechanics was near perfect too, SoulCalibur taught me, that graphics can be a big deal.

#11 - ?
The first game in a franchise which got out of control this generation.

I want to try Call of Duty or Resident Evil
