Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver



One of the best written games of all time. And acted brilliantly as well with the characters doing a derivative of Iambic Pentameter.

It's a metroidvania inspired 3D platformer with a dark, gothic atmosphere.

The plot and dialouge was written by Amy Henning who later went on to do the first 3 Uncharted games.

It concerns Raziel, a vampire. First born childe of Kain. Vampires have taken over the world and subjugated the humans for millenia. The world is doomed and beyond saving. Raziel is ordered killed by Kain and betrayed by his vampire bretheren. He gets thrown into the lake of the dead to burn for eternity. He comes back as a soul devouring wraith to exact revenge.

You can get it for PS1 and PC or you can get the PS1 version on PS3 through PSN

That's hard, but I'm going to have to go with Legend of Zelda Wind Waker.

Ultima IV on a Commodore 64.
I think I was about 9 years old or thereabouts, I'd play it with my brother after school, great times.

^^My video gaming friend would agree with you, but he thinks that Ocarina of Time is the best [except for Navi, of course...]

i don't get all the unwarranted hate for n64 navi. granted, she is on the more obtrusive side compared to tatl's gentle ringing and KORL's nudging, but she doesn't get in the way of actual teleplay, which can't be said for fi (who is little more than a spit in the face), or some other game companions.

i say n64 navi, because they actually made her worse in the 3ds version, popping out after playing for a while to tell you to put the game down and go outside, or something.

ideally video games shouldn't tell me to get fresh air. i have parents for that.

I have to say Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii, best $72 I ever spent, felt it was worth every cent within 10 hours of play. Beat the story once and I'm still not even close to knowing a quarter of the intricacies of the game, even if my party was all lvl 99 at the time i beat it. Never have i played a game so well crafted and so huge that after 100 hours i still easily get lost going through some of the first zones, then it's sequel came and i felt the same all over again. Though the biggest surprise about Xenoblade Chronicles were the graphics they achieved on the standard Wii, most of my friends thought it was on an XBox 360 or Playstation 3.

Mass Effect 2

To name a few:

BattleBlock Theater
Crash Bandicoot 2
DOOM (2016)
Ori and the Blind Forest
Trine
Xenogears

Here's my most recent top five.

Final Fantasy VII
Radiant Historia
Pokemon Explorers of Sky
Final Fantasy Curtain Call
Rune Factory 4

Pokemon X
Pokemon Sun and Moon (i like both!)
Barbie and the Three Musketeers
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained Keys
Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Tough decision. I've put the most hours in The Sims 3 for sure, as it's such an excellent, wide sandbox game; perfect for my imagination.

My favorite guilty pleasure game is Postal 2. Another sandbox type of game, where you can be a law-abiding citizen or engage in ridiculous acts of extreme violence.

Tetris
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Perfect Dark
Goldeneye
GTA IV
Pokemon Yellow

I'm not sure. I find I tend to get sick of all of them after a while, even games that *should* be almost perfect for me, like Borderlands 2.

World of warcraft. im currently in the process of finally getting a main. that ashbringer will be mine! currently level 61 retribution paladin (dwarf). he was one of my first characters i created when i was 9 (thats 10 years ago) my dad helped me get him to 40, then i stopped leveling him. but now he's been resurrected and is going strong.

Batman: Arkham City

For story line, I fell in love with The Last of Us by NaughtyDog. Story brought a tear to my eye. Gameplay wise I enjoy any open world survival because it can keep up with my jumpy mind hahaha.
