Time for a new list: my top 222 games (with short writeups).

Whoa, surprised to see Contra 4 that high. I'm glad I convinced you to give it another try! Definitely agree that it shows those guys loved Contra and 2d gaming.

26. Street Fighter II Turbo (Arcade/SNES)

I'm not sure if I've clocked more time on any game than this one. Throughout the 90s, this is pretty much all I played with friends. The speed of this game is what attracts me to it so much - I push this sucka up to 10 stars and get battles over within seconds, and then do it again. I would put this a lot higher but I have no one to play with anymore - I'm really, really good at SF2 and my fighting game friend is used to newer games, so whenever we bust this out I end up winning like 27-1 before he gives up. Not very fun.

25. Suikoden (PS1)

The original Suikoden will always be my favourite because of how swift it moves. Five minute plot points, four minute dungeons, two minute army battles. Suikoden just moves and the whole game is fun because of it. It's got an old school charm to it, and it's got a bit of replay value thanks to the whole 108 character thing. Because of its speed and length, Suikoden is a game I pick up and play all the damn time. It's certainly not flawless - please let me choose my own party instead of forcing four characters on me at all times - but the flaws are generally ones I have no problem looking past.

24. Lode Runner: The Legend Returns (PC)

The Greatest Remake of All Time turned a fairly cool action/puzzle hybrid into a much better game thanks to the addition of kickass weapons, bombs, keys and some cool music. Legend Returns features 150 levels, most of which are lots of fun, and a level editor for those who want to get hardcore into the game. I can't even think of a single thing to complain about when it comes to this game. It's pretty much perfect, with the only drawback being that it's not as fun on replays.

Dude, you need to play Suikoden 2! It might not be QUITE as fast as Suikoden 1, but it's still definitely one of the faster RPGs I've played. And it's awesome all around.

23. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker (DS)

Joker changes a lot of the core DWM concepts by making the game much less malleable - you can't take a slime and give it max stats anymore - to mixed results. Joker has a cool world, great graphics and cool monster animations, and the breeding system is improved thanks to some gameplay innovations. This game *should* be the best DQM game just for the fact that the systems are modernized.

It fails in its attempts to "balance" the game, though. I miss the old skill system, the lack of stat caps, and some of the old monsters. DQM also feels rather short, as it's one huge fetch quest for most of the game (which is okay - you're not looking for story here), but then suddenly you're at the last boss. The last dungeon and stuff is really cool, but there's almost no postgame material to speak of and the one thing that could have made this game amazing - fighting online - is next to useless due to the fact that you don't actually fight people, but their AI-controlled teams, and half the teams on wifi are hacked to hell. argh.

(that didn't stop me from getting absolutely perfect monsters and dropping a good 85 hours into this stupid game though)

22. Ikaruga (Arcade)

A simple concept - black and white bullets. When you're black, you absorb black bullets and get killed by white ones, and vice versa. Take this idea, apply "bullet hell", and you've got the single most intense game I've ever played. Ikaruga is exciting as all hell and the difficulty is incredibly fun. There are some parts of this game - looking at you, level 4 - where I can't even fathom surviving at times, let alone trying to chain colours together for a huge combo. It's so much fun to get brutalized by this game. This is my only foray into modern shmups, and Ikaruga is so exciting that I want to find out what else is out there. A damn shame that it's only five levels. The level design on those five is freaking amazing though.

21. Tales of Eternia (PS1/PSP)

My first Tales game, and like most other people, my favourite. Eternia's got the same old plot/character disasters that are found in other Tales games, but good dungeons and fun gameplay make the game for me. Hardcore mode is fun, though a bit frustrating at times. All the optional stuff is great, and Sekundes is one of my favourite boss fights of all time. Fun as hell game once you get aways into it.

Getting an S on level 4 was one of the most frustrating gaming feats I've ever accomplished. It isn't so much difficult as it is annoying when you mess up for a quarter of a second and are trapped in between criss-crossing ****ing bullet trails.

20. Phoenix Wright 3 (DS)

PW3 features an awesome overarching plot that connects the cases in ways PW1 and 2 never could. The whole Godot/Dahlia/Mia/Phoenix arc is flat-out great, and while Godot kind of fails as a prosecutor, he still makes for a fun guy to go against. Case 5 is not my favourite case in the series, but it's one hell of a way for the Phoenix/Maya trilogy to go out.

The downside to this game is case 2, which was a nice attempt at something a little different, but ultimately was a lower-tier case due to the crappy ending and villain. Case 3 kinda sucks until the last day, too.

19. Dance Dance Revolution (Arcade/PS2)

The music is bad, but I like stepping to it. DDR has a bunch of fast songs with strong beats, and I love jumping around and killing myself trying to pass songs that make my heart hit 300 bpm. I put this away for months, then play it hard for a month straight until i get bored of doing the same 9-step songs over and over and failing 10-step songs miserably.

18. Shadow Hearts: From the New World (PS2)

My opinion on this varies heavily depending on when I last played it. I don't remember it very fondly because the story is pretty blah and the characters are all ridiculous, but the gameplay is freaking top-notch. The gameplay tweaks completely obliterate the broken battle system that is SH2, the sidequests are rewarding and the difficulty is absolutely perfect, excepting maybe the last boss which is painful (though very fun). SH3 probably has my favourite gameplay of any RPG -- and it's a disappointing follow-up that's too short with a paper-thin plot.

17. Tetris

Not much you can say about Tetris. Tetris multiplayer is great fun if you've got someone of your skill level, and Tetris DS was pretty damn fun against the high-level computers. Level 5 is a bit too insane for me -- and probably anyone -- but level 4 is a perfect match for me. The ability to play Tetris DS wireless multiplayer is pretty awesome too. woo Tetris

16. Final Fantasy 10 (PS2)

The first RPG -- or the first popular RPG, at least -- to do away with text boxes and go to fully cinematic, voice-acted scenes. The game that pretty much wrote the formula on what RPGs were going to be like in the next generation, and games spent years trying to catch up to its level. As far as I'm concerned, FF10 is just as huge and influential as FF7. FF10 does some great things like the sphere grid -- which gives you the best of both worlds as far as unique and overpowered characters go -- and the battle system, which is fast and fairly deep compared to other menu-based RPGs. The world of Spira is amazing, too, and the interaction between characters is really, really good, even if you don't like said characters. Like FF7, FF10 has a bunch of first-time flaws like unskippable scenes (especially before bosses argh darn you seymour 3) and some particularly bad voice acting, and the game walks in a straight line for nearly the whole game, but I'd say those don't really detract from the game too much.

15. Xenosaga 3 (PS2)

The Xenosaga series has two main problems: the slow and tedious battle system, and the pacing. The first 75% of the first two Xenosaga games, nothing ever happens, and then you get assaulted by cool scenes and wham, it's over. argh.

Xenosaga 3 fixes both problems, with a super fast (albeit simple, but it's still fun) battle system, and a game absolutely full of action. There is rarely any downtime in Xenosaga 3, and while the end is certainly a rush job and kind of ridiculously stupid, it's still cool because at least something is happening. Xenosaga 3 is the first Xenosaga game that's legitimately fun to play, and the storyline and characters all come to a climax here. It's not always a good thing - hi there Shion - but I prefer that to wandering aimlessly through space for no reason. The plot arc throughout the second half of disc 1 could be the best part of any RPG ever.

Tetris is my favourite game in some ways. Like, if I have someone to play against and I'm in one of my Tetris moods where I play it hard for a month, it's going in the top 3. I just haven't been in that mood lately, and I only have real life friend that can hold his own with me in Tetris and he lives in San Francisco now.

14. Mega Man 2 (NES)

Everybody has an old game that they feel is perfect - for me, it's Mega Man 2. Love the weapons, love the levels, love the gameplay, love the music, love everything about it. Most of the complaints I can come up with are things that came along later like the slide or being able to control the Rush Jet, but those don't bother me since I played this one first. MM2 is just perfect to me.

13. Phoenix Wright (DS)

The original will always be my favourite. It's got two huge cases as opposed to one like the other games, and it's got Miles Edgeworth in a starring role instead of as a cameo. Case 4 is my favourite in the series, and I like how we get to know the mainstay characters instead of them being known quantities like in later games.

12. Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)

I don't get it. I never really got into Melee, and this game is pretty much the exact same thing, and yet I like this game a hell of a lot more. I find it more "fun" - everything is just a little bit better. The characters are more fun to play as. In Melee I felt that there were only a couple characters that were easy to play as, and that you had to spend time learning each individual character in order to be good with them at all - in Brawl, I can pick characters up within a few minutes, and it's a lot more fun because of it. I like the stages a bit more, the SSE is better than the adventure mode of Melee, and the game just feels more "balanced".

I also have a friend that's of my skill level, and we wage huge Brawl sessions that are a lot of fun. That probably helps my enjoyment. Brawl also has online, which has been near-perfect for me. I don't use it very much, but it's something that's there, and I always have a few people I can play some games with. Brawl is a fun, comical game that's a blast to play if you have the right people around. This has become *the* multiplayer game for me lately.
