So a little background on what made me think of this. I was watching some Segata Sanshiro commercials last week. You know, the greatest man in history? If you have no idea who that is, then you need to click this link NOW. Anyway, the Shining Force III commercial in particular sparked nostalgia. I thought to myself, "wow, what a great game that was." So I wouldn't get my ass kicked for clubbing instead, I hooked up my Saturn and played the game again. Just yesterday I finished it, and it's still as fantastic as it was 9 years ago. And that's when I remembered this thread, the top 10 thread. The second page, at least on my computer is kind of funky, but changing the board theme helps view it. I was surprised to NOT find Shining Force III (and its other 2 scenarios as well) on my list. I assume it's because it had skipped my mind, or that in between then and now, it's been 4 years haha. In gaming time, 4 years is a lot of time so, I thought I'd update with a longer list. My list isn't in order, except for the first 2, which are indeed my 2 favorite games EVER. Anyway, here's my 2k7 list haha.

1. Capcom VS SNK 2 (Multiple)
2. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
3. PSO/PSU (Multiple)
4. Super Smash Bros. Melee (I don't want to mention what my play clock for me and my friends is on this game >_<) (GC)
5. Streets Of Rage 2 (Genesis)
6. Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES/GBA)
7. Soul Calibur Series... but the soul still burns. (Multiple)
8. Guardian Heroes (Saturn)
9. Dragon Force (Saturn)
10. Shining Force III Scenario's 1-3 (Saturn)
11. Parappa The Rapper, because my style is rich, dope phat in which, we'll make a cake today that looks rich! (PS1)
12. Jet Set/Grind Radio (DC)
13. Final Fantasy III (VI) (SNES)
14. Virtua Fighter Series Multiple)
15. Guitar Hero Series (PS2 for me haha)
16. Star Fox 64 Do a barrel roll! (N64)
17. NiGHTS (Saturn)
18. Super Mario 64 (N64)
19. Valkyrie Profile (PS1)
20. Resident Evil 4 (Multiple)

I'd say that's a pretty good list of my favorite games ever. And yeah I know it's 20, but getting it all in at 10 is hard haha. Anyway, what's everyone elses? Sega Saturn SHIRO!

Somehow managaed to get a what I felt was a pretty solid list of 10. A lot of good games have come out since last we've done these and I'm intersted in seeing what new games we will see on the list.


1. Shadow of The Colossus
2. Monster Hunter
3. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
4. Einhander
5. Streets of Rage 2
6. Street Fighter 3rd Strike
7. Halo
8. Final Fantasy VII
9. Resident Evil 4
10. Elite Beat Agents


#1 This is what every game should aspire to be. Fun, beautiful, & meaningful. I must have beaten this game at least 20 time already and I still play through it occasionally. Its such a powerful game that blends everything about this game into one powerful experience.

#2 Take the Epic aspects of Shadow of the Colossus, throw some online features, use some creative licenses to give players the chance to give life to their character and you got such a fun, casual friendly hardcore geared, online epic game. although I feel the game has many flaws its a solid game through and through and share alot of similar qualities with Shadow of the Colossus to make it to number 2.

#3 It was pretty hard for me NOT to give this game the number 1 spot, but after alot of consideration I feel this is the place it earned. The story was without a doubt powerful. Playing through this game is definitely an experience and everything is just so masterfully weaved together. Ultimately though it came down to apples and oranges and the online features. While Online was totally a blast, the experience delivered from it isn't quite the same as something like Monster Hunter. I mean, sure you would get into some really intense firefighter, Jumping out of corners or being pinned down behind a pillar or box and taking them out, even some awesome sniper duels in some of the bigger stages. But its just a different experience altogether and i found I would Prefer Monster Hunter more then MGS3. Hopefully once MGS4 drops we'll get even greater online modes.

#4 Future, Shooter, Suicide Mission, Need I say more? Oh yeah, badass music.

#5 Classic, I don't need to say anything more.

#6 This has to be the Apex of 2d Fighter games. I rate all other 2d fighting games by comparing it to this. Since its release, nothing has come close to touching it.

#7 The original game that started a cultural phenomenon. Eagerly waiting to finish the fight on Halo 3

#8 I'm a fanboy, sue me.

#9 Shoot a zombie in the face, jump out a window, roundhouse kick 3 zombies in the face, push a barrel down the hill shoot it to explode it and kill 5 zombies at the same time, jump over a face and blast away at a zombie driving a truck trying to run you over.

#10 Jumpin' Jack Flash and a YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!
