Top 10 All-Time Favorite Games

#10: Mass Effect 2 / BioWare - 2010

"Mass Effect 2 is a great example of a perfect marriage between excellent gameplay and storytelling. It's an excellent sequel that refines everything that was good about the first game in the series and trims out everything else that was not. It should be a must-play game for fans of shooters and fans of great storytelling alike"

#9: Towerfall / Matt Thorson - 2013

"I can't remember the last game I played that was this much pure fun. And I don't think I've laughed and screamed at the TV with any game this much outside of Smash"

#8: Rock Band 3 / Harmonix & Backbone Entertainment - 2010

"Despite it's faults and it's misguided attempt to integrate playing 'real' instruments, Rock Band 3 is still the most fun I've had playing rhythm party game"

#7: Final Fantasy IX / Squaresoft - 2000

"The writing and soundtrack are enough to carry you through when the battle system is being dull and the story is getting weird. This game really is pretty charming once you get invested in it and it's become one of my favorites in the Final Fantasy series and just in general"

#6: Minecraft / Mojang - 2011

"If you're one of those people who've stayed clear of this game because 'eww the graphics are bad', I'm gonna come smack you. You're missing out on one of the most important and unique video game experiences ever created"

#5: Super Smash Bros. Project M / PMDT - 2013

"It's worth finding a copy of Brawl and dusting off your Wii if this looks interesting to you. It's a blast to play whether you're a competitive or casual player, newcomer or Smash veteran"

#4: Portal / Valve - 2007

"Portal is an experience that every gamer should have. The puzzles are mind-bendingly brilliant, the platforming is fun and challenging, and the subtle humor keeps the game interesting throughout its duration"

#3: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door / Intelligent Systems (Nintendo) - 2004

"The game gets better the father into it you get. I think it’s worth tracking down a Gamecube and a copy of this game to play it"

#2: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Nintendo - 1998

"I can distinctly remember being totally blown away by this the first time I played the game. I remember just walking around some of the villages and using the first person camera to admire all of the details"

#1: Final Fantasy VII / Squaresoft - 1997

"Final Fantasy 7 is a masterpiece of a game. It's a perfect blend of engaging story, smart game design and a top-notch soundtrack"
