Your Top 10 Favorite Video Games

Gotta agree with The Prestige, GTA: Vice City can't be matched in the soundtrack area. I think that game was one of the biggest contributors in my still-growing love for '80's music.

That was the first console generation which had a huge leap forward from the last in that 3D was now viable and effective.

If we were doing a top 20 I'd definitely have RE 2 and Streets of Rage in mine.

True, couldn't really have Tomb Raider prior to it. I think we might need to see another top 10 then Tact

Have you never turned on the radio before? It's the same music, and kind of ridiculous that you think that game is unmatched. Makes me think you've never played another game.

Well, you're sort of right, I don't play that many games, and I suppose I should have been more specific in saying that GTA: Vice City has maybe the best compilation soundtrack I've ever heard. I'm sure other games have original music that kicks ass, but I wouldn't know, from such a limited sample.

I had tried playing San Andreas for few hours, the missions kind of put me off.. Vice City had better missions, so did the previous 2D GTA games.

I use to like Pac-Man...does that count?

I think that some San Andreas missions have the edge over missions from any of the other GTA's, because some of them are just so damn funny. The mission where you have to torch the marijuana plants and then listen to Peter Fonda's rant about the government is hilarious.

San Andreas is my favourite GTA game. As someone who owns a few Miami Vice boxsets you'd think it'd be Vice City but San Andreas had one mahoosive advantage on the GTAs which had gone before - A proper 3D camera attached to the right analogue stick.

Mainly PS2 games for me, a couple of SNES games and Gameboy games. Still got my SNES and Gameboy, near 25 years old and still going strong.
I've still got my SuperGameboy too, that thing that plugs into the top of the SNES and you can play Gameboy on the TV.


10: Grand Theft Auto 3 (PS2)

9: Double Dragon (original Gameboy version)

8: Theme Park (love any version but PS2 version called Theme Park World was the best)

7: The Legend Of Zelda, A Link To The Past (SNES version)

6: Lego Star Wars 2 The Original Trilogy (PS2)

5: Lego Star Wars (PS2)

4: Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas (PS2)

3: SimCity (any version but loved the SNES version)

2: Gran Turismo 3 (PS2)

1: Super Mario Kart (original SNES version, not the other rubbishy ones that have been made since)

Nice list, Rodent. Although I have to say, if ever a series was overrated, it would have to be the Grand Theft Auto series. At least for me anyways. I just never got into the hype. What the hell is supposed to be so great about those games? I played them, and got bored too easily.

What about snooker & pool games? lol!

Don't know about a top 10, but I've spent days on Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City and San Andreas; Final Fantasy X, Pro Evolution Soccer 2, Fight Night Round 3, Time Splitters 2 and Star Wars Battlefront.

Nah, they're never the same as the real thing

Whoa, completely forgot about Star Wars: Battlefront. I used to love playing multiplayer with my brother.

Metal Gear Solid series. Amazing solid story. Great characters, and character development. Fun game-play. Great music. Just... perfect.

Silent Hill series comes very close.

Forgot about Earthbound, and Eternal Darkness until I saw this thread. Badass games.
