Top 10 favorite games?

[True Rune]

Who doesn't like countdowns like this? Any game, any genre! Post why if you want, I don't care. I'll list mine, but I'm mostly and RPG/Fighter fan so my picks will either be nostalgia or that genre.

1. Suikoden II
2. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
3. Valkyria Chronicles
4. Blazblue
5. Final Fantasy 7
6. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
7. Tales of Vesperia
8. Guilty Gear x2
9. Saga Frontier
10. Final Fantasy TACTICS

MEH HARD. I will probably remember other games I've played and replaced them. It's hard balancing nostalgia and time sinks.

[Il Prodigio]

Ahem. I'll take this one.

1. Castlevania Symphony of The Night.
2. Metal Gear Solid.
3. Command and Conquer Red Alert.
4. Urban Assault

[ZincLysine]

I don't really play games anymore. I still play Championship Manager 01/02, but I've been updating the league for the past decade now. I played Pokemon last when I was unwell. I never owned a console beyond a Super Nintendo (SNES). I was too poor and it lead to me learning to draw comics insted.

Eh, it just admitted it, most games are like that at the end of the day.
