So hard narrowing it down to just 3 titles. I would need to list by generation to really list all my favorites. I will list 3 games I will always adore, let's say...one game from three different console generations. PC games are a different animal to me, so i will do a separate post for PC games later on.
Atmospheric and immersive for its time, I played through this so many times. I fired it up on an emulator recently and it was still nostalgic and fun.
Yes, everyone is going to list VII, so I will skip the PSOne and list X instead. Blittzball was bogus, but you only had to play it once, so it's a minor blemish on an otherwise great title. I will always remember the characters, and some of the brutal requirements for the ultimate weapons. This game reached a new level of storytelling for its time, and i spent a ridiculous amount of hours playing it.
Still one of my favorite RPGs to date, the original Dark Souls has yet to be matched in brilliant world design, difficulty and atmosphere. This game invaded my life and didn't let go until I had completed it. One of my all time favorites, for sure.
Super Metroid
