Ahh, shit list. I would at least expect 1 Nintendo game on there. I mean, honestly, I'd rather play Final Fantasy VII before I die, or...God of War?

Obvious, Mario and Zelda are missing, but where is Chrono Trigger?

Also, LBP is too new to be on the list.

Where the hell is Baldur's Gate II or Diablo II?

My list:

10. Final Fantasy VII
9. Chrono Trigger
8. Fallout 2
7. Baldur's Gate II
6. Half-Life
5. Super Mario 64
4. MGS
3. Diablo II
2. LTTP
1. Deus Ex

Damn any game that ain't them, lol...and yeah there are a lot of PC games, and you guys know I'm about as anti-PC gaming as they come, as of late. PC has a few of the best games ever, but few new exclusives, and it's exclusive library went down hill significantly, while console gaming has flourished.

Still, those old exclusives were "play before dying" material.

Your list is so full of win!

I was going to be surprised if this thread died without at least someone applauding my list, lol.

Thank you sir. You have good tastes in gaming, and I'm impressed by it.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

That was going on my list, but I bumped it for Final Fantasy VII.

You need at least 1 Mario game. Be it the original, 3, Super Mario World or Super Mario 64.
Zelda also would need a spot on the list.
FPS is a little up in the air, you can go for Doom or Goldeneye or Half Life or Halo.
Blizzard needs some sort of representation on there. Any of their 3 big ones would work.
Final Fantasy as well, most would say VII.
Pokemon needs a spot, either Red/Blue or Silver/Gold.
Tetris obviously.
Grand Theft Auto needs a spot, I guess III, since it started the whole craze.
Sim something. The Sims, Sim City, etc.

That's 9 already, and I haven't even touched stuff like Civ (although I've never played) Gran Turismo, any sport game, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, and so on, and that was going really basically.

Half the reasoning behind a list like this is so you play the AAA, cream of the crop, 95%+ rated games. The other half is picking games that have had a big cultural impact, the games that define what being a gamer is.

Basically this is an impossible list.

Awesome list. However I would have bumped FF6 for one of the Civs.
