Hi I'm Spike!
1) World of Warcraft - I long ago stopped playing but the sheer amount of time I put into that game and the scale of the world and it's lore means you could spend an entire lifetime trying to read it all and still fail.
When I started playing it took me the best part of 10 hours to understand a lot of it which is crazy when you consider a lot of single player campaigns in games sometimes don't even last that long.
It feels a little odd saying my number one game is a game I no longer play but the game speaks for itself, literally a whole world which you would never get bored of. I think my biggest problem with this game is once I had kids I realised I just didn't have enough time for it any more.
2) Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - This was the first Zelda series game I completed, mainly due to the NES versions being so hard but I did finish them eventually. I have to have it as my number two because even today the graphics are still great, the whole worlds design is brilliant and even at 32 I often find myself playing it on my SNES, my phone and pretty much any other console or device I have it on.
At the time of it's release the game seemed never ending, there was no youtube, there was no game guides, your best shot of completing it all was putting in the hours and maybe the odd article in an official Nintendo magazine. Even with youtube, guides and all that stuff you have these days it's still a game I can recommend knowing most people will come back impressed.
3) The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim - There are so many games I'd like to put into my top three but this snuck into third purely on the fact I have it on a good gaming PC and the mods give it so much second life. My first play through on Skyrim was on the 360 and I loved it even in Vanilla state, the game is long and you can get lost for days in side quests. Once you then get it on a PC the mods you can add gives the game an amazing overhaul graphically, in terms of challenge and adds a personal touch.
There are so many games I'd love to put in a top three, reading through peoples lists and seeing games like Shenmue, Grand Theft Auto, endless Mario games and so much more simply put three is not enough! My top 3 is my own personal top 3, not what I think are the best three games of all time, end of the day that just couldn't be done.
