Uhhh... you have Turok 1 above games like Street Fighter and Virtua Fighter? I dunno about VF, but I would definitely place any of the main sequence Turok games before plain ol' Street Fighter  Anyhow...yikes, I couldn't do a 50 greatest list. Just...no. Part of the problem is that games I've spent many, many hours with ended up becoming unenjoyable after being bashed into the ground and all enjoyment wrung out of them. That applies as much to some 16-bit games as Xbox titles, actually (like I have to leave Atomic Runner alone for a while before I have another go). Son Son is an interesting pick. I wouldn't have that anywhere near my top 50, but it's still an interesting game. |

I'm currently compiling my personal top 100 games for shits&giggles.
That, plus several other users at Hooligans have done the same, and it's become normal for the regulars to do stuff like this.

A favorite list out of games from all time would be pretty redundant, as it would look really similar to every other list in the world (Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy 6 in the top 3, some obscure snes game in the top 8, Star Control 2 in the upper teens, so on so forth.) So without further ado, I give this list way too many qualifiers in:
My 25 favorite games out of the games I (legitimately) own:
(long story made short, I lost my game collection in late 2004, so this is only about the 80 games I have bought since then, all from modern gen-systems.)
25:Halo (honorary mention because I love the story. the game itself I could give or take)
24:Mario Sunshine
23:Phantom Dust
22:Viewtiful Joe
21:Final Fantasy X-2
20:Disgaea
19:Steambot Chronicles
18:Soul Calibur 3
17:Sly 2: Band of Thieves
16:Killer 7
15:Advance Wars: Dual Strike
14:Super Smash Bros. Melee
13:Psychonauts
12:Dark Cloud 2
11:Dragon Quest VIII
10:Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
09:Radiata Stories
08:Culdcept
07:Morrowind
06:Resident Evil 4
05:Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
04:Kirby Canvas Curse
03:Meteos
02:Guilty Gear XX
01:Metroid Prime
Keep in mind this is in no way definitive. Each title has about a margin of error of about eight spaces up and down, and there are another 10 or so honorable mentions, but Halo got the nod to help pad the western-developed games all the way up to a healthy 5 (I would say about 20% of the games I enjoy happen to be from lands west of the rising sun, if I had to give it a ballpark figure)

My favorite games EVAR are as follows.
10. Axelay (The 1st stage's theme was so awesome.)
9. Metal Gear Solid 3
8. Max Payne
7. Half-Life
6. Homeworld (Most beautiful game ever, seriously.)
5. Half-Life 2 (I know I'm gonna receive shit for liking the sequel more than the original, but what can I say? I love Orwellian settings.)
4. Freespace 2 (Best goddamn space dogfights ever.)
3. Halo
2. Command & Conquer (This game will always have a special place in my heart. It was the first rts I laid hands on, and to this day is still my favorite.)
1. The Marathon Trilogy (Godlike. These games are godlike. Not for the gameplay, nor graphics, or the online play, but for the storyline. The story in the Marathon Trilogy is probably the best I've ever seen in a game. Plus, Durandal is the most badass A.I. construct ever. Yes, even more badass than Shodan.)
Honorable Mentions:
F.E.A.R.
Starcraft
Final Fantasy Tactics
Fire Emblem: PoR
Front Mission: Gun Hazard
