The furthest I will go back is Sonic and Knuckles, I think most other games I played before that were only good because they were something new and I suspect they' ll all be crap now.

List in no order:
Halo
Panzer Dragoon Saga
FFVIII
FFX
Metal Gear Solid 2
Silent Hill 2
Shadow of Memories
Gitaroo Man
Sonic and Knuckles
Steel Battalion
Ico
Goldeneye
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Rez
Shenmue 1
Shenmue 2
Mario 64

I' m not agains' t Nintendo in any way but I really can' t say I have played any Amazing games on the Cube, the only thing that comes close in Monkey Ball 2 which is a pitty.

Well i will just list the games i remember over the years for being ace for its time. This is not in any particular order.
Golden Axe
Streets Of Rage 2
FF8
Virtua Fighter 2
Daytona USA
Power Stone 2
Halo
As you can see i really enjoy multiplayer games.

all you people who keep saying that halo is god of fps' s have obviously never touched a pc game, like counter strike and natural selection, and soooo many more. And about my fav game.. well its hard to decide, but skies of arcadia legends, chrono cross, chrono trigger, and the shenmue series is up there.

As far as I' m concerned, the FPS genre is all about UT. But that is just because that' s the game I grabbed off a friend a while ago, so...
Eventually, I will go to Crack in the AC - basically a bimonthly lan party hosted by my dorm in the Academic Computing lab starting at midnight. But it' s so fricking late... I say this because they play a fair amount of those two games (Counterstrike and Natural Selection) and people are always telling me they' re good.

Hey, HydroGen, if you like multiplayer games, why the heck aren' t any of the Worms series on there?

I have played a couple of worms games but they are a bit slow and i wanted to limited my list to games i really like a lot and actually owned at sometime. I own and play Counter-strike often but theres nothing like having a link game or split screen in my opinion and thats why i left Counter-Strike out.

But Counter Strike is just a multiplayer and a pretty straight forward one at that, Halo has a quality story, quality multiplayer and more than quality gameplay.

There' s still tons of fps' s out there that has all those qualities plus online play, i like halo i' m not like some avid halo hater.. i just think its grossly overrated.

here goes my first post:

top 10 games:
1: shenmue 2
shenmue 1
project gotham/metropolis street racer
