You may have seen some of Rhett’s lists of games he owns, and they are awesome. Recently I wrote up my favorite games on a forum and feel compelled to share them here…

…for whatever reason.

Okay, so I was asked to do a top ten of all games, but that was too hard for me. I had to break down the lists to individual consoles first, and do a final top 10 at the end. You won’t really find many first person shooters (counterstrike) or big online games (worlds of warcraft). Just console stuff. Here we go -

NES

1. The Legend of Zelda
2. Super Mario Bros. 3
3. Metroid
4. Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link
5. Bionic Commando
6. Mega Man 2
7. Mega Man 3
8. Contra
9. Castlevania 3: Dracula’s Curse
10. Ninja Gaiden

honorable mentions: Tecmo Bowl, Metal Gear

SNES

1. Super Metroid
2. Chrono Trigger
3. Final Fantasy 3
4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
5. Prince of Persia
6. Super Mario World

6. Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader
7. Pikmin 2
8. Viewtiful Joe
9. Super Mario Sunshine
10. Eternal Darkness

And I haven’t really played PS2 or Xbox, or wii enough.

So here’s my final top 10 -

1. Resident Evil 4
2. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
3. Super Metroid
4. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
5. Chrono Trigger
6. Final Fantasy 3
7. Metroid Prime
8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. Prince of Persia
10. Jet Force Gemini

I guess I was surprised to see Resident Evil 4 as my favorite game, but that’s really how I feel. I don’t replay games very often, but I keep playing RE4 over and over. So it wins I guess.
