Top 10 Games of All Time


Figured that it would be only fitting to list my favourite top 10 games of all time in my first blog. Obviously it is completely in my opinion.

o1. Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
o2. Final Fantasy VII (PSX)
o3. Starcraft (PC)
o4. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (360)
o5. Super Smash Bros. Melee (GC)
o6. Resident Evil 4 (PS2)
o7. Super Mario World (SNES)
o8. Pokemon Platinum (DS)
o9. Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (PC)
10. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest (SNES)

o1. Super Mario Bros. 3 (Nintendo Entertainment System)
Mario Bros. 3 brought us one of the greatest platform games of all time, with a suitable remake years later produced on the Gameboy Advance, this game deserves the label it receives from many of best game ever. Whether you venture through the game's eight worlds one by one or whistle your way through in 12 minutes like the internet meme sweeping Youtube, the game has something for everyone, revolutionizing platform gaming for many years to come. That is what makes Super Mario Bros. 3 one of the greatest games of all time.

o2. Final Fantasy VII (Sony Playstation)
Considered by many to be the greatest RPG ever made, Final Fantasy VII's story, battle system, graphics, gameplay, and controls were all groundbreaking for its time. One can easily invest a great number of hours into the game, especially if you are completing all of the side quests.

o3. Starcraft (PC)
Arguably the best real-time strategy game ever released, and easily the most popular of Blizzard's creations, Starcraft is a game that many PC gamers spent the majority of their time playing. Blizzard's revolutionary battle.net system was at the time, an amazing accomplishment, and has stayed alive until even today, over ten years later, where games of Starcraft are still being carried out.

o4. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Microsoft Xbox 360)
Easily the best shooter out of this generation of consoles thus far, the only one even coming close would be Gears of War. I personally have it on my all-time list because I'd rank it ahead of such greats as Counterstrike and Call of Duty, and therefore Call of Duty 4 remains a gem in my heart.

o5. Super Smash Bros. Melee (Nintendo Gamecube)
By far and away the best fighting game on the Nintendo Gamecube, Super Smash Bros. Melee defines the fighting genre on the system and sets the standard high for various other games in the genre. Super Smash Bros. Melee is a great party game, with a plethora of single player action to keep those without friends or siblings entertained. Personally, I loved this game to death, and it was easily my favourite game of last generation.

o6. Resident Evil 4 (Sony Playstation 2/Nintendo Gamecube)
I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing Resident Evil 4, as it was quite possibly the greatest action adventure that I have ever played. It's storyline was intriguing, while mixing puzzle, adventure, blood, gore, and fright all into one it created a video game that should be enjoyed by any gamer who loves the action-adventure genre.

o7. Super Mario World (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)
With its world system stemming from the success of Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World provides a full, engaging, and thorough platform adventure for the gamer. For full unlocks and completion of worlds it takes at least 40-50hrs, and with a new save function in the game, it makes the game much more easier to play the entire way through and clear.

o8. Pokemon Platinum (Nintendo DS)
Nations were taken over by the Pokemon craze in the late 90s and early millenium, with Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, and later Gold/Silver/Crystal. Platinum provides all that Diamond and Pearl did to resurge the series plus more added features. Dreams of an online Pokemon were made a reality with Diamond/Pearl, and now Platinum is the sequel to those dreams made with all of the core from the previous games, while adding to it extra features and Pokemon that were not unlockable in Diamond or Pearl.

o9. Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos (PC)
Blizzard's first real-time strategy game since the release of Starcraft was met with glowing reviews from critics and rave ones from fans. Warcraft III ran on an upgraded Battle.net server and is still played today by thousands of people worldwide.

10. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)
DKC2 was one of the most popular and best platforms that this world has ever known. The sequel to the critically acclaimed Donkey Kong Country, pits Diddy and Dixie against all odds to save Donkey Kong from the evil King K Rool. Hundreds of unlockables, and a vast world map all provide the platforming action that any gamer has grown accustom to seeing from Nintendo.
