What are your best launch titles, and in what order?
1. Wii Sports - Best launch title ever IMO. Not quite a complete game, but it effectively demonstrated what the Wii is about and what it is capable of, moreso than any game that has been released since. A unique and innovative system seller.
2. Super Mario 64 - This game sold me on the 64, and would have to rank as my favourite game of all time. Aside from its all round excellence, it was a perfect demonstration of the analogue stick and it set the bar for subsequent 3D platformers.
3. Halo - For me, Halo was the best game on the Xbox, eclipsing its succesor. Not quite as innovative as the above titles, Halo was nevertheless very impressive, with killer AI, huge environments, furious action and a finely balanced combat system. The Xbox owes much of its success to this excellent launch title.
Honourable mentions: Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt.
