Okay, so I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently, and I’ve picked out my top ten games of all time. None of these are in any particular order, because I can’t possibly pick out how they are better than the others. My reasons for picking them as my favorite are listed as well.

1. Grand Theft Auto III (PS2, 2001) — its gameplay mechanics and concepts made it a landmark for game design
2. God of War (PS2, 2005) — I’ve always had an interest in Greek mythology; its replayability to collect costumes and I still haven’t beaten the Challenge of the Gods
3. Katamari Damacy (PS2, 2004) — its eccentric gameplay mechanics made it a challenge but incredibly addictive
4. The Sims (PC, 2000) — interior design mechanics; “dollhouse”-style gameplay made it addictive; opened the door for simulation games
5. Beyond Good & Evil (PS2, 2003) — female protagonist; colorful environments; loveable characters
6. Fallout 3 (PC, 2008) — added first-person view to a third-person franchise; story of the United States falling completely due to nuclear war; idea of human nature at its finest; first-person shooter with roleplay elements; very customizable
7. Super Mario Brothers 3 (SNES, 1993) — tanooki suit, need I say more?
8. Kudos (PC, 2006) — independent life-simulation; various outcomes; abstract
9. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64, 1998) — vast, open world; familiar story; a bit challenging
10. Perfect Dark (N64, 2000) — first FPS I ever played; controls were easy to get used to; Joanna Dark was the protagonist and pretty badass
