5 best games you've played.

[Tucker]

I shall not name any FF games because that would fill the list (or most of it anyway )

1. Grandia III- This game never gets old, I love the characters and gameplay. Tis a great game

2. Star Ocean: Til the End of Time- Cliff Oh how I loved Cliff. But yeah, great story.

3. Zelda: Twilight Princess- This game has so many faults but my love for Link and the gameplay made it all okay

4. Dark Cloud- This was the first game I ever bought myself that wasn't a hand-me-down from my brother. It was too hard when I was little, but I love it more now and how you can input your creativity into the game.

5. Legend of Dragoon- First video game I ever played. I was...5? I didn't get too far But I watched my brother play it and later played it myself, I love the characters and story

1. F-Zero GX: The best racing game I've every played. Awesome graphics, awesome velocity, customisable machines + many things to do blended together to create the most awesome racing game ever imo.

2. Dissidia 012: The gameplay is so addicting, and there's so much to discover in Dissidia 012. I played for hours each day and I still haven't lost my interest at all.

3. Final Fantasy VI: The first game I've ever played in my life, and thank god I did. The story grabbed me, a steampunk world, beatiful soundtrack and hilarious/memorable moments made this game a classic and a favourite of mine.

4. Phantasy Star Online EP I & II: Gameplays shallow and repetitive but finding the loot is so satisfying and that's what keeps me going.

5. Team Fortress 2: My most favourite FPS game. There's 9 classes available, each one is special. Finding items is awesome too

1.> Baldur's Gate series (Baldur's Gate, Tales of the Sword Coast, Shadows of Amn and Throne of Bhaal).
This is, without any doubt in my mind, the best game ever made. EVER. This game is absolute pure gold RPG perfection at its finest. Over 200 hours of gameplay and never the same game twice! Each and every character had their own personalities, their own stories, their own breaking points (each one would leave or attack you if you did something that was truly horrible in their eyes), and for some, their own romances. The voice acting was beautiful, especially with the one character who is perhaps the most powerful and awesome game villain ever created: Jon Irenicus aka Jonaleth the Shattered One. This guy makes Sephiroth look like Edward from Twilight. And then there's the pure, rolling on the floor and face-palm inducing craziness of Minsc and his Miniature Giant Space Hamster, Boo. Every dungeon was fresh and unique. Traps and puzzles everywhere, and every single battle you got into involved a great deal of strategy, even against a simple band of street thugs! The storyline and the twists the game threw into it were brilliant. Quite frankly, the Baldur's Gate series is what game creators should aspire to.

2.> Final Fantasy 9
I loved the storyline of this game and, with the exception of how Trance worked, loved how the game played. Each and every party member was fully fleshed out, and you could really relate to most, if not all of them (Even Quina). The storyline was magnificent and had plenty of unexpected twists, and you got to see how hardships affected each character, and the different struggles each one endured.

3.> Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean
Yet another lost treasure of a game. The storyline in this is one of the best, just under par with Baldur's Gate and FF9. Not only is there humor in this game, but the game actually makes fun of itself at points, including an NPC who says "Don't you hate it when people do nothing more than repeat themselves over and over?" every time you talk to him =P The world is rich and deep, and you get quite attached to the characters. Much like in FF9, it's quite easy to sympathize with the characters and each one has their own history. The storyline has amazing twists, and just when you think you've beaten it, you learn that you're only halfway through!

4.> Okami
This game is a breathtaking beautiful work of gaming art. And the fact that the main heroine is a wolf had me hooked in right away (being an avid lover of wolves). This game has a great storyline, a good blend of humor and action, and plenty of puzzles to solve. The gameplay with the brush and the art itself really brought the game to life, and you could get a good feel of the personalities of all of the characters.

5.> Thousand Arms
This game is what first hooked me into games with romances. I loved this game to death and wish I could find a working copy. The fact that your power and spells are linked to your affection levels with each of your female companions makes this game rather interesting. There's a high amount of humor in it, even in the dating scenes. There's certainly an element of strategy, the storyline is great, even if it is also quite funny at a number of junctions. Also starred my first videogame girl crush: Wyna Grapple, the drop-dead gorgeous and tomboyish daughter of a pirate who wields a massive sledgehammer as her weapon.
