The Fantastic 10: Top 10 Games Of All time

I love to watch the top 10 lists of games on Youtube. It helps me in determining the games that i should play. Every one will have their own lists so i'm sure that opinions vary. My favorite on the net is from the Screwattack. Very professional with great compilations of top 10s. Stuttering Craig did an amazing job in hosting each episodes. So, without further ado here is my list of top 10 games of all time.

10. Skullmonkeys

This was a platform game made for the original Playstation. I've played it long time ago, so my description about this game is fully depending on my humble memory and Wikipedia. So, through Wikipedia that i've come to know that Skullmonkeys was actually a sequel and the first game was known as The Neverhood for the PC. The Neverhood is an adveventure game and apparently it was only released in Japan. I like the humor and the characters in the game. The game design is almost similar to the animation, Wallace and Gromit where the characters and the environments are made out of clay. It's very fun, addicting with unforgiving difficulty. The only game in my list where i have not able to complete. I was torn between choosing Crash Bandicoot and Skullmonkeys but decided to choose this one due to it being more challenging. Sadly, that i've lost the copy of the game. The game is quite difficult to find on Ebay. If it is available, it usually costs around 30$ with shipping. That i think is the cheapest i've come with so far. Seriously, one of the underrated platformers in my opinion.

9. Megaman 2
Who doesn't know about Megaman 2. If you don't, you either not a gamer or just born recently. One of the games with the best music collection, period. Just type in Megaman 2 on Youtube, for sure you'll find a lot of the game's tunes cover by many people. My favorite would be the from the 2nd Dr. Willy's stage, Woodman's and Metalman's. Love the Robot Masters and the level designs. I actually never played no 3, 5 and 6 but will do so later. The X series is also my favorite but again due to the difficulty i choose Megaman 2 as my top 9 game of all time. The X series is a bit easier compared to this one.

8. Final Fantasy Tactics

A big RPG fan but i've decided that only Final Fantasy Tactics should be on my list. The reason being is that this game has a very good replayability. By far the best tactical role playing game. You can play it over and over again without even need to follow the main story of the game. Love the job system which consists of great roster of characters to choose from. My favorite would be the Monk. They can heal themselves and have great physical attack. I need to play this game again. Ahh how i wish i have all the time in the world to do so.

7. Super C

The contra series is by far the best run and gun shoot em ups. I had to go with Super C because they have mutated helicopter as one of their bosses. Whose brilliant idea to infect a helicopter? Original, very original. Haha. I like the level where you have to penetrate the green eggs. The contra series are famous for their fast pace and intense enemies. The difficulty encourages you to keep on trying again and again until you are able to finish it. You really require some good skills for beating the game. That's what i love about Super C. Contra 4 for the DS is an excellent remake from the original Contra. I almost had to sacrifice my precious DS out of frustration in order to complete the game as well as the bonus challenges. It was indeed a sweet victory once you have completed the game. In my opinion, contra will always maintain its best with the 2D environment. So, no need to go further into their ridiculous and disappointing Legacy of War.

6. Beyond Good & Evil

I'm not going to talk much about this game mainly because my memory about it is a bit deficient. I do know that it is a really good game. How you use your camera to take pictures, the puzzle solving and the amazing story. I need to play this game again.

5. Super Mario Galaxy

The only game for the current generation on this list. I can play this game again and again without complaining. One of the best controls i've experienced in gaming. Great level designs with beautiful colors and characters. I managed to achieve 100% completion for this game. The famous Luigi's Purple Coins in the Toy Time Galaxy really took a hell lot of time to beat. Challenges were fine and forgiving. Hopping from another planet to the other sure is a lot of fun. I do have the 2nd one but due to time constraints i never had chance to play it. Based on other peoples' reviews sure makes it more exciting to play.

4. God of War

How i dream of becoming Kratos. His character is so cool with super strength capable of killing gods and he yields two blades on a long chain which is called the Blades of Chaos. Seriously, who doesn't want to become him. I find this game very interesting and unique. The quick time button commands in my opinion is really innovative. The brutality in the game is one of the best surpassing even Mortal Kombat .He rips everything off, pierce anything in his way and he kills god. Awesome. They even include a mini game showing a sex scene. Again, awesome. Thats a first one for me. Played the second one didn't like it as much as the first. Awesome game.

3. Shadow of Collosus

Anything as big as a building and become a character in a video game for sure will create a buzz in the gaming fanatics. This game is the most original game i have ever come cross to. Very beautiful and breathtaking environment. Great emotion in the character which connects remarkably well to the audience. How to kill the enemy is the main puzzle in the game. Truly innovative and creative. A game like this makes it really worth the money spent.

2. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Another well created game. Love the time travelling and the combat in the game. The prince moves like a streaming water. Amazing level design. I have to choose the first one in the series because of having the best plot. You really need to try it yourself to know what i'm talking about. Seriously.

1. Metal Gear Solid

The best among the best. Never got tired with it. I remember playing it thrice in a row for one whole night. I don't need to talk much regarding this game. For real.

So, that's about it. My Top 10 games of all time. It sure took a lot of time to compose this. Hope you enjoy the read.

-GAME OVER-
