OK, GTA V was the last new entry to my list. Clues for the Top 10:
10. This game was considered controversial by its fans (although I loved it) and an incredibly vocal and emotional fanbase took to forums to let the devs know it. The devs listened, although some still hate it.
9. I hurt my knee whilst playing this game.
8. The main character is a coward who pretends he's not (even to himself). He only realises the truth in the last third of the game.
7. Introduced a hungry character to an incredibly popular franchise.
6. Features two famous British actors. The rest of the voice cast is pretty wooden and crap.
5. This dev is known for their great RPGs but this was one of the first times they tried to make their own IP/franchise. It's been relatively successful.
4. Same dev as 5. The second game in their "other" popular franchise.
3. A game that revisited an old franchise and could have been a disaster. The publisher looked ready to go under before this game released but were saved at the eleventh hour.
2. This game popularised physics in FPS.
1. Anyone that knows my posts over the years should get this. It's the sort of game that any time you mention it, someone will re-install it.
