I've been around for 21 years as of today, so I figured it would be appropriate to begin this blog with a post detailing my top favorite 21 games of all time. This list is in no particular order.

  • Final Fantasy 7
  • Secret of Mana
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Mario 64
  • Goldeneye
  • Halo
  • Mega Man X
  • Donkey Kong Country
  • Super Mario World
  • Ninja Gaiden
  • Final Fantasy X
  • Grand Theft Auto 3
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
  • Call of Duty
  • Crash Bandicoot
  • XIII
  • Half-Life 2
  • Final Fantasy 8
  • Uniracers
  • Marathon 2: Durandal

Upon examining that list, I've realized that I've gone through every single game on it at least twice, and most of them many times more than that (I've definitely gone through both FF7 and Mario 64 at least a dozen times each). There are a couple older games that I'd like to throw in as notable mentions, namely Castles: Siege and Conquest, Lode Runner 2, and, more recently, Vagrant Story.

So, on the eve of the XBox 360 launch, do I have anything to say? I did get a chance to play one today, but I'll save the rant for tomorrow.
