I'm going to have to ask you to be more specific on (3) and (4), and possibly (1) as well. Unless they came in a collection together (similar to Sonic 3&K), listing games together in the same spot is not permitted. Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World actually came out in Japan, but the others must be specified.

2. Pokemon Colosseum
3. Crash Team Racing
4. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (cabinet)

7. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Xbox 360 I guess. I mostly played lans and stuff but that was the console I owned it on)
8. Pokemon XD: GoD
9. BlazBlue: CT (Xbox 360)
10. Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duelist of the Roses (PS2)

Ho boy, I think this is about right.

1.) Secret of Evermore - SNES
2.) Super Mario RPG - SNES
3.) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time - N64
4.) Phantasy Star Online: Episode 1 and 2 - GC
5.) World of Warcraft - CPU
6.) Super Smash Bros. Melee - GC
7.) Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 - GC
8.) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - Xbox
9.) Gran Turismo 5 - PS3
10.) NBA Jam - SNES

[Pseudo Enigma]

1) Legend of Mana (PS1)
2) Final Fantasy 6/3 (SNES)
3) Persona 4 (PS2)
4) Smash Bros (64)
5) Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES)
6) Starcraft: Broodwar (PC)
7) Tetris (NES)
8) Warcraft III (PC)
9) Osu! (PC)
10) Chrono Trigger (SNES)


top 3 is accurate, not sure about the rest. Such a hard decision, and it makes it harder considering the number of awesome games I might be forgetting exist.

[ReikonKeiri]

1. Blazblue: Continuum Shift Extend (PS3)
2. Tales of Symphonia (GC)
3. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (NDS)
4. Record of Agarest War 2 (PS3)
5. Super Mario RPG (SNES)
6. Disgaea 2 (PS2)
7. Star Ocean 4 (PS3)
8. Final Fantasy X (PS2)
9. Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2)
10. Mass Effect 2 (PC)

Honorable mentions. This list was just too hard
Ocarina of Time
Tales of the Abyss
Final Fantasy XII
Shadow of the Colossus
Any sequels or prequels to games in the top 10 (not counting FF series which is all trash)

I feel like retro games are highly overrated. Don't get me wrong SNES has a SHITLOAD of TOP tier games, but the fact of the matter is the perception of them is grandly inflated by a nostalgia factor which I don't think should be included in a games rating.

[korny]

Kingdom hearts
Zelda a link to the past
Super smash bros melee
Street fighter 3rd strike
Doom 2
Windwaker
Mega man 9 downloadable
Final fantasy tactics Gba
Donkey kong country 2
Super meat boy

[Dynam0]

1) Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
2) Zelda III: A Link To The Past (SNES)
3) Super Mario RPG (SNES)
4) OoT (N64) <--never owned an N64 or played all the way through this game but it's still that amazing
5) Diablo II (PC)
6) The Legend of Dragoon (PS1) <--this is where my username comes from
7) Super Metroid (SNES)
8) Dark Souls (PS3)
9) Valkyria Chronicles (PS3) <--pretty underrated imo
10) Super Mario World (SNES)

Lots of other games I would throw on this list after thinking a bit longer but w/e. I play racing games a shit-ton and have played more hours of Stepmania and Elastomania than all of these combined probably but they don't make this list unfortunately

[HalfStep]

1) Starcraft: Brood War (PC)
2) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
3) Tales of Symphonia (GC)
4) Super Smash Bros. Melee (GC)
5) Starcraft II (PC)
6) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)

Can't think of other games I enjoyed in one way or another, so short list.

[retching oesophagus]

Pretty boring list, bottom half is liable to change

1) Majora's Mask (N64)
2) Wind Waker (GC)
3) Ocarina of Time (N64)
4) Banjo Kazooie (N64)
5) Super Mario 64 (N64)
6) Smash Bros Melee (GC)
7) GTA Vice City (PC)

[eastsideman09]

1. Kingdom Hearts, PS2
-Gameplay, story, Disney... I love this game so much

T-2. Final Fantasy VII, PS1
-My first RPG has my nostalgia sense tingling.

T-2. Final Fantasy X, PS2
-I've put so many hours into this game, be it Blitzball, monster hunting, or even replaying.

4. Crash Team Racing, PS1
-My favorite kart racer... It's simple, but very well executed... No one beat me at this game lol.

5. SSX Tricky, PS2
-Best snowboarding game, not that there's much competition. Goofy and cool characters, decent unlockable/customization, and varied stats for the boarders, even at maximum. Easy and fun to both watch and play.

6. Fallout 3, PS3
-Definitely the most immersive start to a game I've ever played... Which is why I can never pick up from where I've left off after a while, I always seem to start a new game lol. This is a problem though, because I tend to get burnt out on it, and have yet to play all the DLC because of that lol

7. Final Fantasy VIII, PS1
-When I was a kid playing this, I was never able to beat it, because my 4th disc would always freeze directly after the first boss fight . That changed after it was released on PSN, and I was finally able to conquer a piece childhood.

8. Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+, PS2 (count it as KH2 to make it easier if you want)
-More technical gameplay than the first, but the story wasn't as good (not that it was bad, though). Very fun game, made even more fun with the Final Mix+ version, which basically gives you more (refightable) bosses.

9. Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3
-A simple 2D fighter... Customizable abilities for your characters, huge roster, stats can be distributed differently for each fighter in Dragon Arena allowing for tons of diversity, and probably the best 'story mode' of any fighting game I've played... You can fly over an open small open world to get to each fight and look for Dragonballs or other items, and play through a lot of different characters perspectives, which is awesome because it's fucking Dragon Ball Z.

10. The Last of Us, PS3
-This is sort of an anticipatory spot, with a lot of potential to move up. I'm only part of the way through the story, but it's fantastic so far. Gameplay has everything... Nice stealth mechanics (crucial for the game). Simple melee/hand to hand fighting with gruesome and devastating visuals that don't get old lol. Sparse ammo and makeshift supplies/med kits (crafted in real-time, no pause menu for dat shit) add to the 'survivor' aspect of the game. I'm loving it so far, so we'll see how the rest of the story unfolds.

Honorable Mention
Journey, PS3: Simple. Ambiguous. Beautiful. Anyone with a PS3 should play this.

The Infamous Series, PS3: Fun ass open-world sandbox

The Uncharted Series, PS3: Extremely fun and easy to play, and I don't even like hunting for treasure

Portal 2, PS3: This game made my brain hurt

Virtua Fighter 4 -evolution-, PS2: A pretty technical fighter. I found myself engulfed in this games single player mode... Unlocking new costumes colors and customizable shit with each fight. Attaining the Champion level, thus unlocking the Gold color palette, was the goal. It was challenging and rewarding

Final Fantasy IX: I really enjoyed this one, and have been meaning to replay it to further my appreciation of it.

Final Fantasy XIII: If this game's battle mechanics were as open for the entire game as they were for the last couple chapters, I would probably have enjoyed it more. Story was nice, visually stunning, but I definitely wanted more out of it, especially the villain. I had started XIII-2, but I really just was not engaged at all... I don't think it warranted a sequel, let alone two.

Starfox 64/Pokemon Stadium, N64: These games might be higher on my list if I ever owned a 64... I would play the shit out of them any chance I got.
