Ok, In this thread we are going to talk about our top ten favorite games.  List them out and explain what it is about these games that makes them so great.  Hopefully we will be able to share some unique titles and get some more excitement around our favorite games.  I will go ahead and go first

10: Mass Effect:  One of the greatest games this gen.  It's blend of shooting and RPG elements combined with a killer story makes it a must own for anybody with a 360 or pc

9: Shining Force:  It's the game that got me into gaming.  One of the greatest series of all time and sadly little known outside of the online gaming forums.

8: Hotel Dusk:  Unique game that unfold much like a mystery novel.  I really wish their were more games like this.  Interactive novels are incredible.

7: Indigo Prophecy:  Awesome game that plays much like an interactive movie.  Made by the same people that are making the upcoming heavy rain. (of which I am eagerly awaiting)

6: Metal Gear Solid 4:  The end of the metal gear solid saga was amazing.  The cutscenes and story gave me everything I wanted and more.

5: Final Fantasy 7: The story and the villain... so great, but so much has been said about this game I don't know what I can add.

4: Jade Empire:  Beautiful game with an awesome story and a twist I never saw happening.  Bioware is my love.

3: Crono Trigger: Ah crono trigger, completely changed how I thought of RPG's.  How you can manipulate the different time periods through your actions still gives me the warm fuzzies.

2: Shining Force 3:  I hate to give this game the number 2 spot, but seeing how I have only played the first scenario (they only released the first in america) I can't give it the top spot.  To this day, it is the best SRPG ever made and maybe someday sega will get off their butts and finish porting it over here. (like downloadable content or something would be perfect)

1: Suikoden 2:  This is my gem.  No game has ever had such a meaninful story as this.  The characters interactions are a joy.  The gameplay is top notch.  And then there is Jowy... His actions make perfect sense, but yet you have to oppose them.  There isn't any clear right or wrong path, but yet their is a war being fought.  The moral ambiguity drives this up to my top spot.

Well, there ya go, there's my list.  As you can probably tell I enjoy RPG's a lot, or at least cherish them more than my other games.  So what are your top 10?

Hmm... I may have to get back to you on this... I could probably knock the household collection down to 10%, but 10 total would be tough. I've been trying to get the games in my profile, but I'm still not done yet... -_-

I changed my around a lot over the last few days but in the end it goes like this....

10. Mass Effect
9. No More Heroes
8. Chrono Trigger
7. Tales of Symphonia
6. Super Mario Galaxy
5. Tales of Vesperia
4. Portal
3. Profesor Layton
2. Psychonauts
1. Skies of Arcadia

^^lol that is a lot of games. Don't you ever trade in games? I usually trade in all but my favorite games at the end of each generation.

nice I've played and loved most of those games.  Although I never played no more hero's or psychonaughts, are they good?

10. Metal Gear Solid 3
9. Tales of Symphonia
8. Ninja Gaiden
7. Crysis (Warhead)
6. Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness
5. Final Fantasy VIII
4. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
3. Devil May Cry 3
2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
1. Final Fantasy X

Trade... in? Nah, I'd get screwed over on the trade-in values. That, plus I have a collector's mentality. Which reminds me, I'm looking forward to entering in my Atari 2600 collection... :P

10. Chrono Cross (PS1): I loved the story and the twists, and the gameplay is really revolutionary. Plus, I played Trigger after it, so I could enjoy this game without any complex as the excellent game it is

9. The Curse of Monkey Island (PC): The perfect graphic-adventure. Brillaint in humor and very clever puzzles

8. GTA Vice City (PC): Probably the most immersive world, it's amazing how the city is so big yet I always felt I knew it perfectly. Causing mayhem everywhere is simply fun. San Andreas didn't give me the same feeling as this game

7. Final Fantasy VII (PS): I loved the story, no matter what anyone says, plus brillant music and a great battle system, it's an easy choice

6. Persona 3 (PS2): The game that made me love Atlus, totally radical in concept (dating sim + RPG is really weird), but amazingly polished and immersive.

5. Portal (PC): The shortest of the list, but also the funniest. Every second of this game gives me a good laugh, it's amazing. And, of course, it has Still Alive

4. Final Fantasy Tactics (PS): I love complex stories, so it was a given I'd love this. Add to that a terrific battle system and one of the best soundtrack ever and you have a winner.

3. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2): Immersive, epic, masterful. It made me worship Ueda as a genius in game design, a brillant concept executed brillantly. Nothing can beat the feel of defeating a colossus all by yourself.

2. Persona 4 (PS2): It's amazing that Atlus could make a game even better than P3, but they did. A better story, better characters, refined battle system, better overall gameplay, better music, it's pretty much the perfect modern JRPG

1. Suikoden II (PS): It won't ever be beaten. It'll always be up there in no.1, laughing at all the others. No matter how much I say, I won't be able to do justice to this masterpiece. I could talk about the best story ever, about how Jowy is the best character that ever graced gaming, about how the music is simply perfect in every single tune, about how the character recruiting makes you really care about them and the base you're building, about how it has the best minigame ever, but it's a game everyone has to play, a game no one can pass. It's simply, the best game ever made
