This would be my Top 5, in chronological order...


1- UFO: Enemy Unknown (1994)

Probably the greatest strategy game I've ever played. The Earth was the target of a massive alien invasion and you had to manage this anti-alien agency. You had to build your base, make researches, equip your ships, buy your equipment... and the funnest thing of all, kill aliens on the battlefield through a turn-based gameplay.





2- Final Fantasy 6 (1994)

The story of this game was so complex, which was particularly impressive since it only featured 2D characters. That game really had a soul somehow, there was just something about it that transcended the whole gaming experience. It almost chilled my bones at times. I have very good memories of it.





3- Grim Fandango (1998)

Probably the craziest, funniest, most original game I've ever played. The synopsis was so weird, I feel like I would waste my time trying to explain it. Essentially, you played as a skeleton in this awesome neo-noir environment, with plenty of puzzles to solve.





4- Mass Effect series (2007-2012)

Very interesting story, with plenty of sci-fi elements, character development and breathtaking moments. The gameplay/action was awesome too.





5- Arkham series (2009-2015)

Awesome stories, awesome characters, awesome action... and you play as the goddamn Batman. What else do you need?

Hmmm...

Chrono Trigger(SNES), Castlevania IV(SNES), Dragon Warrior IV(NES), Dragon Warrior III(NES), Might and Magic: World of Xeen(PC), Final Fantasy VI(SNES), Final Fantasy IV(SNES), Neverwinter Nights(PC), Gladiator(Arcade), Might and Magic VI(PC), Tron Deadly Discs(Intellivision), Dragon Quest VIII(PS2)

No way to put them in any sort of order, with the exception of World of Xeen, which I simply can't play nowadays. I tried recently, and after playing 6 and up, I just can't handle the primitive nature of the game. I got hundreds of hours of entertainment out of it in multiple plays back in the day, so it still qualifies.

Gladiator was the one I had the most mastery of. I cringe when I look at videos of people trying to play it on YouTube. There's only one other than my own that I know of played by someone who wasn't just mashing buttons.

Let's get into this, without specific ranking:

- Portal & Portal 2 (2007)
"We both said a lot of things that you're going to regret." GladOS.
Do I even need to explain how awesome this game is?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI

-Crimson Skies (2000)
A weird choice, but this is a nostalgic "first game" for me. One of the reasons why I chose my pseudonym. Weird, funny ambiance, fast planes and loose dames.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49laxMeLS2o

-The Last Express (1997)
One of the most underrated games in History in my mind. A most excellent story complete with graphics that are still great today because they were made to be art. A truly exceptionnal piece with massive innovations in gameplay, like real time flow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aj3SIXUqlo

-Bioshock Trilogy (2007)
Again, need I explain how awesome this series is? Great story, compelling ambiance, on par graphics...Insanely good. (The key word being "insanely")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsJ55BzIvkE
(By the way, music here if by Nico Vega. If you're into that stuff, you want to check that band out.)

-Floor 13 (1992)
Another strange choice, a game overlooked by History. Still, as one of the first and best written serious games, it's worth a detour. A precursor to the likes of "Papers, please" and "This war of mine."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owhhRMawD2k

Mentions: Crusader Kinds II, Mass Effect Trilogy, Witcher trilogy, Dishonored, The Binding of Isaac, FTL...

1) Super Mario Bros 3
2) Super Mario World

There's plenty of other great games I've played, The GTA series will always be among my favourites but Super Mario bros. 3 and Super Mario World hold a special place for me. I love those two games to death! I don't think anything will ever top it.

Showing my age here, but Impossible Mission for the Commodore C64. Great platform jumper that kept me busy for many an afternoon before I finally solved it.

Haven't played many games in recent years, but my son games and I quite like what he's shown me of Portal and the Batman Arkham games.

Red Dead Revolver is my all-time favorite (not Redemption, Revolver) although honorable mentions go to Freedom Force, Goldeneye, Code Veronica, Vanquish, and Super Mario World.
That being said, Frogger has a very special place in my heart, as does the X-Men arcade game and the original NES Mario Bros.
And I've only begun fucking with you people.
At the end of the day, it's all math.

1- UFO: Enemy Unknown (1994)

Probably the greatest strategy game I've ever played. The Earth was the target of a massive alien invasion and you had to manage this anti-alien agency. You had to build your base, make researches, equip your ships, buy your equipment... and the funnest thing of all, kill aliens on the battlefield through a turn-based gameplay.




Okay... a remake of that game was actually released in 2012 and I just bought it recently for under $20. What a fantastic game, it actually replaces the original game in my Top-5 list of all-time favorite games (because well, it's essentially a revamped/improved version of it).

Despite being a turn-based strategy game, the action is so fucking intense and immersive; every little decision that you make has dire consequences. In my very first playthrough (which I failed miserably), I mindlessly left my top-soldier out in the open... which caused him to get insta-killed the next turn... which caused my entire squad to get killed because of their lack of firepower... which caused the rescue mission to be a failure... which caused the country I was intervening in to panic... which caused my funding to drastically go down... which caused the following missions to be ridiculously hard to complete... which caused the aliens to successfully take control over the entire planet.

So yeah, every insignificant decision can have a massive impact on the rest of your playthrough. That game is also challenging without being frustrating, which is a quality that many games lack nowadays. It's definitely hard, but the fun part is that it's also extremely rewarding when you choose your tactics wisely and successfully complete a mission.

The strategic element is twofold: managing your base (ie. researches, engineering, deploying satellites to protect countries, etc.) and controlling your squad on the battlefield. And these two aspects intertwine with each other very nicely: you need to take the right decisions at your base to make sure your squad will be fully prepared when facing aliens, and you need to survive/complete missions to earn fundings, scientists, engineers and alien materials.

The missions are quite varied too, and considering that your squad and the aliens that you're facing are never exactly the same, it leads to a very unique scenario each time you get on the battlefield: the replayability is exceptional with that game, you never face the same situation twice from one playthrough to another. Capturing downed UFOs in the middle of nowhere, stopping alien abductions in major cities around the world, rescuing citizens, escorting scientists back to your ship, disarming bombs... the missions are extremely fun and varied.

I highly recommend this game. Check it out if you're interested:





Important note: the version that I bought myself is XCOM: Enemy Within (instead of XCOM: Enemy Unknown). This is essentially an improved version which was released a year later, where many gameplay issues have been resolved and where you can train your soldiers to become genetically-modified or mechanized-troopers.

If you play on a console, XCOM: Enemy Within is actually a stand-alone title (ie. it's not an expansion and you don't need the original title), and you can now buy it for only around $20. There's no point in buying/playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown when you can get that new improved version instead:

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I was 16 when I got mine... after I spent a weekend doing homework on my dad's. A year later I got a dot-matrix computer.

I had bootlegged copies (back when you could copy games with just a program and a blank disk) of the entire series including the two guys, plus a bunch of other games. They were my dad's... and I spread them around my town to all my friends. I would come on Friday with a stack of blank disks... and leave with a ton of new games for my friends and me.

Hell... we never used the original disks... we made copies so we didn't ruin the data.

That was the thing with the C64. Bootlegging games was so f-ing easy. I think I had four time as many as I actually paid for. biggrin (I was young and foolish then and do not advocate this today ;) ).

Well... back then we didn't see it as a crime. We were sharing the games and the software. I look back and realize how bad that was. It was new territory. We weren't being bad as much as just... "sharing" the fun. Yeah I would not encourage that whatsoever now. I think it's why they have made doing that so much harder.
