Shadow's Top 50 Games 2008

Shadow's Top 50 Games - Click Here

Important Disclaimer: This is not a list of the 50 best or greatest games of all time, it's just a list of my own personal favorites with a little explanation as to why. The systems listed below the title of the game are the ones I played the game on, not all the systems the game was released on.

I'm fairly young (21), so you'll notice there isn't a lot of older games...it's really just because of what I grew up playing (I never had an NES). Also you may notice some of my favorites are from a certain time period or genre, that's primarily because I hit my gaming prime kind of between the ages of 16 and 19, it's just when I had the most spare time (I didn't do homework in high school).

Anyways just trying to cover my bases since I just made the list for fun, and a lot of times end up getting a lot of flak for my choices. If you check the page links on the side you can see a list of the entire 50 in one shot, as well as some runner ups I wanted to include but didn't make it. There is also a breakdown by year and by console on the side links to if your interested.

    Did I click through the whole thing and not see a single mention of Legend of Zelda? You mention Splinter Cell but not Chaos Theory which is probably the best one in the series. Rank MGS3 far lower than MGS2 despite being IMO a vastly better game. No FFT? For shame. I'm all for opinions and whatnot, but outside of Mortal Kombat, where are the fighters?

    Edit: Also did I see no mention of Metroid or Sonic or Castlevania? Yeah, hope you brought some lube. You're gonna need it. :P

    I am glad you picked FF6 as your #1, because it is mine as well.

    But who the fuck are you to put NHL2k8 before Super Mario World?

    Seriously!

    Unnecessary sarcasm from Ozmodai aside, I'm afraid he's right, the mods probably won't really see this thread as contributing much to the forum. You'd probably do better off just linking your top 50 in your sig for other people to check out as they wish, as opposed to creating a whole new thread dedicated to it.
