A Top 25 Challenge

[magnifiedplaid]

Dolemite, its cool to see that you have Illbleed as number 7 on your list. I loved that game. It is absolutely the best "horror" game around, and its one of my favorite games on the Dreamcast. Its good to see some people giving it some respect. I think Illbleed is the only game that has come out in the last 5 years that I have actually beaten more than once. Even though its way too easy the second time through its still fun and well worth it.

If there is anybody out there who still hasn't given Illbleed a shot then you should do so right away. AND, if you have tried it out, but dismissed it fairly quickly (like before the end of the 1st level) then give it another shot! Its sick, twisted, bizarre, scary, funny, cheesey, campy, and just plain cool as hell! Even though it will never happen I would still like to see a refined sequel to this game someday...

Anyway, yeah, if I made up my top 25 list I would definitely slip it in there somewhere as well...

Nikorasu, being "hardcore" isn't about conforming to the supposed likes and dislikes of others, it's about staying true to yourself.

Hi Jeremy - I'm not miffed or anything at not classing myself as hardcore. I'm sure that there are many equally valid definitions of the word. But the one that always sticks with me is the one that deems skillage in fighters and shmups as truly significant.

In this respect Alpha 2, and my skills there may mark me out as hardcore, but I don't find shmups that rewarding.

In terms of staying true to myself - this list is definitely that.

Anyone up for a top 100 thread?

[Schlep]

This would be alot better as a top 5 thread. Nothing against any of you, but I don't want to sit down and read 100 lists of 25 games.

[680x0]

Maybe top 10 for each platform would be better, as it's hard to rank games across generations.

[arjue]

This is a list of favorites, as they are generally more interesting than what we think is the best.

24) Virtua Cop (sat)
23) Mischief Makers (n64)

21) Panzer Dragoon Zwei (sat)

19) Unreal Tornament (pc)
18) Gravitation (net yaroze psx) (laugh all you want, I've clocked around 1000 hours on this game all up)
17) Baku Baku Animal (sat)
16) Virtua Fighter 2 (sat)
15) Metal Combat (snes)
14) Secret of Monkey Island (pc)

This was the last Turok, since I kicked his ass.

Yeah, but did you really have to shoot your prehensile tongue up his butt?

The end justifies the means.

[Mzo]

Mad props to Yoshi for listing Tie Fighter in his list. Shame on all who didn't! Best Star Wars game ever made (as if it had all that much competition.)

I don't really remember how much time it took in the first place. 'Bout an hour.

[xS]

Post a thread about it. It should be interesting...

Yeah, I think Illbleed is one of the most underrated games ever (and I've played through it multiple times as well- I dig Eriko's "special" outfit). I wish it would get more respect. I think it's one of the best horror games made. It's certainly one of the most unique games I've ever played. I pray for a sequel daily, but I think Crazy Games went under, so there goes that idea...

[Scourge]

I got curious and I started asking my son what his favorite games are. He's been playing since he was 4 and will be 10 in August. So I got him to make a top 25 list and here are the results:

1. Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past
2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2
4. Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
5. Metal Gear Solid
6. Golden Sun
7. Super Smash Bros. Melee
8. Shenmue 2
9. Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker
10. Pocky & Rocky
11. Megaman X5
12. Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
13. Soul Calibur 2 (GC)
14. Metroid Prime
15. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
16. Mario 64
17. Pokemon Sapphire
18. Animal Crossing
19. Mario Sunshine
20. Kirby’s Dreamland 3
21. Sword of the Berserk
22. Sonic Advance 2
23. Metal Slug X
24. Super Monkey Ball 2
25. Grandia 2

To qualify a few things from his list, he's a HUGE Legend of Zelda fan, not such a bad thing I guess. He put Sonic Adventure 2 on the list and stuck up for it after I kept asking how 2 and not 1, and to his credit, he did beat 2 a *bunch* of times and really liked the bad Sonic guy. Props to him for putting Sonic 2 (Genesis) tho.

He put Super Monkey Ball 2 instead of 1, again after protests from me, because "Hey, it has a story mode! That's cool, right!?"

He put Soul Calibur 2 instead of 1 because of Link and being able to choose your weapons.

After going over his list, he removed Super Mario 3 for whatever reason, eventhough it was one of the first 3 games he listed because he always liked playing as Raccoon Mario. And he took off Record of Lodoss War.

We've got hundreds of games sitting around here, so it's not like he's played only enough to cover the list.

He gives honorable mention I guess to Tenchu: Stealth Assassins and Ms. Pac-Man, since they originally appeared high up in his list, then he took them off after refining it. I couldn't get him to just put them in place of some other questionable title.

I gave as little input as possible, so as to get a real feel for his Top 25 games. I did force him to remove Dragonball Z Budokai, however. It was originally #23.

Sounds like a smart kid.

Nah, he actually got to stay up a bit late to make sure he got his list the way he wanted it. That was after he convinced me to play "co-op" on Windwaker, him on the gba as tingle, and then suggested we watch some Robotech. I've got a cool kid. I was pretty impressed with his list.

I wonder what DJ's list [Despair's kid] would look like:

Res. Evil 1
Res. Evil 2
Res. Evil 3
Res. Evil Code Veronica
Res. Evil Zero
Onimusha 1
Onimusha 2
Devil May Cry 1
Devil May Cry 2
...
