I was thinking about all the games I've missed out on by only buying nintendo systems. My plan is to play as many of the great games on other systems.
So far I have made this list of games I should play

Playstation

Final Fantasy 7

PS2

Ico
Shadow of the colossos
Rez
Okami
God hand
God of war 1+2

Saturn

Guardian heroes
Radiant silvergun
nights

Dreamcast

Shenmue 1+2

X360

Bioshock
Dead Rising
half life 2 (orange box)

I only want to play the games that I won't have experienced on nintendo systems.
Also I'm based in the U.k. if that helps.
So please suggest away.

    command and conquer (PC)
    Metal Gear Solid (PS2)

    Zone of the Enders the second runner!! (PS2 and one of my favorite games to date)

    also most of the others previously mentioned are really awesome too. Like Final Fantasy Tactics. I must have logged a hundred hours in that game.

    Genesis/Sega CD

    Too many to mention, but a few highlights.

    Sonic the Hedgehog 1-3+Knuckles and CD

    Shining force 1-2 and CD

    Streets of Rage

    Gunstar Heroes.

    Phantasy Star series.


    Saturn
    (You mentioned some of the best)

    Dragon Force

    Panzer Dragoon series.


    Dreamcast

    A bit less important now, as most of the games were ported around to various other systems... but many of them still have the Dreamcast version as the superior looking/playing one. There are still a number of smaller puzzle games and the like that are a blast as well. It was one of my fave systems ever, but it's becoming increasingly irrelevant as time goes on to at least play the games.


    PSX/PS2
    I don't think it's even worth it to try and list out all the games here. There are just so many across so many genre's. You hit a couple of the better titles however.

    Xbox/360
    Not as expansive as the PSX/PS2 library, but still formidable, especially now with the live arcade. A few of the bigger hitters (and some personal preference)

    Halo series of course.

    Ninja Gaiden

    Fable

    Morrowind/Oblivion (if have not played on pc).

    Gears of War

    Crackdown

    Jet Set Radio Future

    The Metal Gear Games (some of the best games ever)

    Resident Evil series

    Onimusha series

    Final Fantasy games(Not 10-2 for the love of God don't touch it)

    Tekken might be worth getting as well.

    Silent Hill 2 (PS2) (my favorite)
    Silent Hill 3 (PS2)
    silent hill 4 was kind of meh imo.

    I found FF Tactics 1 very meh.

    For some real non-Nintendo fun, you should play yourself some Phantasy Star II for the Genesis, or maybe some Golden Axe

    Ape Escape (PS1) (Best use of the dualshock I've ever seen)
    Bushido Blade (PS1) (Never liked the 2nd, but the 1st is near-perfect)
    Megaman Legends series (PS1)
    Spiro the Dragon series (PS1) (Rather similar to the Crash Bandicoot series. Bit easier though.)

    Are you interested in computer games at all?
