I’m more of an RPG and sandbox simulation fan, so most of these games aren’t to my tastes. Two of them (Halo and Uncharted 2) I’ve never played, but I think both games look interesting.
Of the eight games I’ve played, Super Mario Galaxy is an easy win for me. Resident Evil 4, specifically the Wii version, is a solid runner up. I also wanted to mention Smash Bros Brawl: outside of the novelty of the original N64 game, the Subspace Emissary mode is my favourite thing ever done in the Smash series - Sonic versus Mario is my third favourite thing (and second would be Link vs Cloud, but that’s another game).
Dwarf Fortress is probably my favourite game of the decade, and I still play it to this day. If I remember correctly, runner ups would be Skies of Arcadia for Dreamcast and Dragon Quest 9 for DS. I also wanted to mention Xenosaga Episode 1, a poorly handled publishing, but overall a great game from Monolithsoft, I wish they got to fulfil the original plan and had more creative control after the first game.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
