Inspired by the PH fantasy garage threads what are your Top 10 games ever?

Doesn't have to be a ranked list just the Top 10 and I'm sure certain games will pop up on most lists and become some sort of winner.

Don't just add what you're playing now (as so many magazine polls seem to be), really the 10 games you wouldn't want to miss.

Also don't add 'series' for example the 'Call of Duty Series' is not a game, one game per entry.

Maybe this can also become some kind of games everyone should play recommendation.

Anyway in no particualr order I'll start:

Super Mario Kart (SNES) This would definately be number 1, the best game ever and the closest gaming has aver got to perfection

Goldeneye (N64) The best multiplayer game ever, no questions. And a great single player

Half Life (PC) Possibly the best single player campaign in any game ever - completely engrossing. And great online for it's day.

Gran Tourismo 2 (PS) Best driving game ever made.

Sega Rally (Arcade/Saturn) Perfect handling makes a fairly limited game completely addictive.

Soul Caliber (Dreamcast) Best fighting game ever made by an absolute mile, still looks and plays better than anything else a decade after release. Possibly only second to Mario Kart for greatest game ever.

Command & Conquer (PC) Just love it.

GTA Vice City (PS2) Perfectly realised and the most involving atmosphere ever created in a game. GTA became to complicated after this.

CoD 4 (360) The game that perfected online multiplayer, this will be played for years to come and everything will be banchmarked against it.

Metal Gear Solid (PS) You just have to play it, just the once but you will not stop until you are finished.

Over to you guys...

There seems to be alot of people struggling to count to 10 here... And alot of people breaking the 'no series' rule, Halo 1,2 & 3 is not one game people!

Anyway GTA Vice City, COD4 and Goldeneye seem to be turning up as favourites.

Hidden and Dangerous is a good call but I couldn't include it as it was so horrifically bugged. Wish there was room for Colin Mcrae DiRT as well.

How did Sega manage to not make a success of the Dreamcast? It was much better than the PS at the time, SF3 and many others were excellent.
Because 99% of people are fking retarded and know nothing about games.

"Yeah man I bought a Playstation, it's well cool innit! Wip3out 'as da bangin dance music which makes it vicked innit's?"

Idiots.

I'm just content I owned and played some of the greatest games ever made on my Dreamcast..... I'm just off to the attic to dig it out.

Blimey is this thread still running?

Well in the year or so since I made my original Top Ten my only change would br to bump out Call of Duty 4 and replace it with BattleFeild Bad Company 2, the best online console FPS by miles.

This and all other console games of that era *must* be played on an import console. If you've played any console game on a UK/PAL machine....you've wasted your time and effort as the timings are all wrong
Can you explain a little more about this?
st conversions from NTSC 60hz to 50hz pal consoles, the N64 was particularly bad for this, the Wave Race conversion was embarrassingly bad.

One of the many innovations of the Dreamcast was that you could play in 60Hz mode if you had a decent TV.
