Your All time top 3 games!

[beffa]

1. animal crossing
can't pick between the GC version or new leaf. new leaf's an amazing game, but i guess the GC version holds more memories value. i used to play it with my cousin and my sister when i was really little. i guess it's even more so my favourite game ever because of how much i've played it, since i can remember. new leaf just brings back memories of old games and i'm so happy i got it. it's like a combination of all the games and more and i love it so much. i remember all those times when i got wild world and city folk and all the happy memories i had playing them with my sister. also, new leaf's a huge comfort to me lately.

2. legend of zelda: ocarina of time
i love all LoZ games, but OOT was the first one i completed. admittedly it was the newer one on the 3ds (obviously, i wasn't old enough to play the old old one when it came out) but i had it for like 1-2 years (i got it when it came out so idk) and finally completed it like last year maybe? it was literally such an achievement for me and the story of the game just made it 10x better to complete because i was emotional anyway and the story is so wonderful and ugh i don't even know i just love it so much. i'd played games before it like phantom hourglass, wind waker and other stuff but it was the one i've enjoyed most throughout and the only one i was determined to complete and did.

3. super mario sunshine
a super fun game i again used to play when i was younger. i watched a playthrough of it on youtube not long ago (by chuggaconroy if you're interested) and as i watched it i got super emotional because i remembered every cutscene, every world and everything in it. i miss the game a lot and i wish i could play it again as well as all the other old games out there like it. it was one of the only mario games that actually intrigued me, especially as a younger kid and i still love the story and all of the characters.

i could also say spyro but i didn't actually enjoy the game as much as those three, it just holds more memories to me. it was the first GC game i actually got to experience fully by myself, you know, actually having control and being able to play by myself.

*Spyro: Year of the Dragon. This and Season of Flame were the best games. After the Season games it went downhill.
*Wario Land 3. One of the best handheld platformers ever game. And this game is special to me <3(The GBC one obviously)
*Pok?mon Gold/Silver. The best games in the series, imo.

 

[Jake]

no particular order;
Super Mario Sunshine
Pokemon Crystal Version
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess


Namely because those were the first games of each series I ever played, and I spent hours and hours on them (i still remember when I bought each game), so I love them for that reason, and I still play them to date, even though they're kinda outdated.

^ O **** I forgot Spyro lol I can not even try to put that on this list because those feel just asdfghjkl;' absolutely loved the second <3

1. Animal Crossing (GC Version, still not sure what to call it ACG or AC:GC)

I simply had the best memories of this game. I only am putting this little game as my all time favorite for nostalgia and sheer memories. Me and my bro played this game, and my cousin did, it brought us together, and I still somewhat play the AC franchise today.

2. Pokemon Franchise

Memories and gameplay. Really like the gameplay, it really never gets old for me. Except for Gen 6 (I really didn't like gen 6 :/ for some reason the story bored me, it didn't feel like pokemon, and I just did not like the music, which I LOVED in Animal Crossing and all of the other pokemon games ^^)

3. No idea. I am torn between Tekkit (Modpack for minecraft), Realm of the Mad God, and Terraria.

Tekkit brought me closest to one of my best friends i have ever had. However, we have split away a bit in the last 6 months.

Realm of the Mad God... Just addicting. Love collecting the best equipment, love the action, I put 720 hours into this game... However, it has since been taken over by Kabam, and it was ruined somewhat.

Terraria. Played this with my cousins and my brother, really just like the play style, but this is probably not my favorite of these last couple games I am torn about. Still close.

 

[ThomasNLD]

1 Zelda; Ocarina of Time. It seriously was way ahead of its time. I still get chills from the water temple.
2 Super Mario World. Its a classic and very addicting.
3 Im in doubt, but I`ll go for Goldeneye 64. Its a great single player shooter and the multiplayer was great fun.

I`ve played so many great games, its so hard to make a list, it changes every now and then. Only thing is, even though I have had many other systems as well, most are nintendo games. Only very rarely a game on a different platform can grasp me. Dragon Age comes to mind as the absolute standout.

 

[Silversea]

Aah hard choice, I'd have to say, in no particular order:

Okami
I've always been a big fan of the traditional Japanese style and this game is practically made of it. I love how the gameplay is set up, and it has creativity flowing all over the place. Very unique game, not too difficult overall (unless you want to get all the stray beads) and has some replay value (I've finished it about 8 times I believe).

Ecco the Dolphin
An "old" genesis game that very few people seemed to progress in! I too have my hate moments with the game, especially when you spend about 30 minutes working out what to do in a level only to have a crab pinch you and force you to restart the whole damn level again. The last scrolling level (not naming because spoilers) makes me tear my hear out, as does the way that dieing on the final final level makes you restart the last scrolling level. Super hard, complex, but I find some fun in it and its been one of my favourite series for hidden reasons that my mind won't reveal to me...

Kingdom Hearts (close tie with FF13)
This game (and FF13) sum up what I appreciate in combat-based games; realism, colourful graphics, special effects, "eye-candy" as people call it, highly dynamic gameplay that makes you feel more involved in the game, etc. Not much else to say on the matter, you'd have to play them to understand them.

EDIT: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door pretty high up there too.

 

[Redacted]

1. Super Mario Galaxy- This game blew my 10 year old mind when it came out and continues to impress me to this day. The sheer unbridled creativity crafted in each galaxy is truly amazing, and it never gets old. I didn't think anything could top 64, but throw in a space setting and anti-gravity mechanics and you have one of the best games of the decade. Fantastic orchestrated music brings the world to life, and is the best OST I've ever heard in a game.

2. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD- I missed out on the original for the Gamecube, but I'm glad I got to experience it this way. My absolute favorite Zelda by far. The vibrant art style really brings the characters to life, and just oozes charm and personality. Arguably the best story in the series combined with an open ocean to explore gives it a sense of exploration unmatched by any of the other 3d Zeldas. The cheerful music complements the colors the game is saturated with, and makes me want to hum along to every track.

3. Minecraft- As a standalone game, I probably would not put this on here. However, the sheer amount of content the community has created makes Minecraft have limitless appeal; as there is always something new to try out. Combine this with the open-ended nature and you have yourself a game that appeals to anyone who enjoys creation.

Sunshine is an underrated gem IMO. While the game isn't without it's flaws (Cringe-worthy voice acting, getting every blue coin is near impossible, and the final boss with bowser was a letdown for me) it still gets more hate than it deserves. The open-ended nature of the levels allowed a sense of exploration that we haven't seen in a Mario game since and having a tropical setting is a unique idea.

That's exactly what I would put. I don't think that I was 10, but the general idea is the same.

2. Wind Waker. 1st Zelda game I played and it is the only one I come back to when I want to play Zelda. I was also super excited for the HD remake and got it the day it came out, but I couldn't get the special edition. Toon Link is also my second-favorite character in Brawl, behind Lucas. I could go into more detail, but it's basically everything else other people have already said.

3. Kid Icarus: Uprising. Funny dialogue and extreme customization and challenging gameplay without making you scream. Online makes it so much better, and there's always something to do! There's too many weapons, but in a good way. You'll rarely see somebody online with the same weapon as you so you won't feel bored.

Surprise 4th! Pokemon Diamond or White.
White was my first Pokemon game. Yes, I know that I started really late. But I found it so much fun and I also like some of the Pokemon they introduced in that game. (Yes, even the Ice Cream and Gear Pokemon. I hate Stunfisk or whatever it's called.) I got Black 2, but I lost it about 2 weeks after I got it, so I don't know much about it aside from what I've played.

Diamond because it was my second (And Emerald was my third because I feel like going backwards) I go back to this one more often because I don't have any friends who have Gen 5 games. They all only have Gen 4 and earlier. So I play this one more to play wirelessly with friends and it just made me love some of my favorite Pokemon even more. Pretty lengthy, but I love a lot of games!

1.) Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (Sony PlayStation) -- One of the first PlayStation games I played. My first and favorite Resident Evil game. It's simply horrific. Unlike other games in the series, there are multiple story paths, randomized item placement. It's also the longest and one of the more difficult games in the series. It was so horrific, it was censored outside of Japan. There's a constant level of fear, as you are chased throughout the game by a super-strong, unbeatable monster. It's thrilling.

2.) Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (Nintendo Gamecube) -- My favorite Sonic game. Love the gameplay, story, characters, etc. I love how there are six playable characters. And I love the Chao Garden. There's just so much to do, I've spent hours playing it.

3.) Final Fantasy VIII (Sony PlayStation) -- It was one of the first PlayStation games I ever played. It's my first and favorite Final Fantasy game and RPG overall. Amazing story, amazing characters, amazing gameplay, and amazing graphics (at the time).

Some honorable mentions: Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Ace Attorney, Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy, Persona 3 & 4, Kirby, Katamari Damacy, Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, Ape Escape, Star Fox, and Project Diva.
