Please, post your top-ten games released so far! You need to have played them too!

Here are mine!

10. Mario Golf - Why? Because it's fun... it's a bit low down because the graphics aren't as good as they could be... compared to games like Mario and Conker, the transparent effects don't do it for me.

9. Banjo-Kazooie - The original and best in my view... I loved the fairytale setting and the Click Clock Wood theme was the best!

8. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarine of Time - Apart from taking a long time to type, it took me a long time to complete, but I never once lost interest... Miyamoto Magic, in a nut-shell!

7. Fifa 2001 - I love football... playing it, watching it, talking it... so this is natural, right? The setup seems simpler than ISS. The only problem is the not-so-real ball physics... even on hard, it's a breeze!

6. Mario Tennis - So much fun in one cartridge.... this game defies the laws of physics.... well... not really, but it's good anyway. What? You want miracles?!

5. Extreme G 3 - Soooo fast! Faster than a speeding bullet. Faster than the bullet train. Second only to Iguana, Myst1que and Bonus running towards the New Look sales stands! Graphics and gameplay are great too!

4. Luigi's Mansion - "Miiiiyyyaaammooooootttooooo?!" Enough said! Spooky huh?, well the hair on the back of your neck would be on end if it weren't for Mr. Ghostbuster himself! Luigi is king of the Mansion!

3. Goldeneye - Rare's best for me... Conker was good, Banjo was funny, Perfect Dark was nearly there, but Goldeneye always wore the Rareware crown! It must have been Natalya... Grrrrrr! Multiplayer was amazing too!

2. Soul Calibur - Ivy... Grrrrr... Okay, it wasn't her, or the blonde, but this is the best fighing game to date, and the story-mode just ices the cake perfectly... roll on 2! (You sound like a Green Mile excecution official!) Thanks....


1. Super Mario 64 - Still unsurpassed in 'Game's Book of Video Games', Super Mario 64 is the mother of all things videogaming. Miyamoyo gets a hat-trick in Game's top-ten with the best game in the world, and rightfully so!


There you have it... a lot of the games were N64, but Nintendo is my bag, and I'm not about to change now!

Go Nintendo Go!

Game: Cubed Since 17th September 2001!

OK here's my top 10!

10.) Gran Turismo 3 - Probably the greatest racing series ever, and this one tops the lot of them, it's only challenger is Gran Turismo 2!

9.) ISS Pro Evo 2 - When I first played this game, I didn't think much of it, but now it's growing on me! I love it, roll on Pro Evo Evolution on the PS2!

8.) Championship Manager - I chose this as a GAD win, and I can't wait for it to arrive! I borrowed 98/99 of a mate, and it was brilliant, so the sooner I get 01/02 the better!

7.) Zelda: Majora's Mask - This is one of my favourite series of games, but Majora's Mask didn't have the perfect Zelda game that I had when I got Zelda: Ocarina of Time

6.) Perect Dark - Possibly the best multiplayer shoot-em-up ever on a Nintendo console, the multiplayer on it is near perfect, it just has so much to offer

5.) Metal Gear Solid - Konami's greatest game, I think that this game really is a safe bet to appear on anyone's greatest list, it is just that good!

4.) Zelda: Ocarina of Time - I prefered this to Majora's Mask, I think that this game just appealed to me more than Majora's Mask, one of the big things that made me prefer this to Majora's Mask was that this was set in Hyrule

AND NOW FOR A RATHER PREDICTABLE TOP 3

3.) Final Fantasy 9 - The easiest of the 3 that have been released on the PSX, not as much to do as the others, but still kept be playing it through the long nights

2.) Final Fantasy 7 - The game that changed the way we think about RPG's today, this really made me wake up and realise a whole genre of brilliant games.

1.) Final Fantasy 8 - The best RPG of all time, Final Fantasy 8 is the best game I have ever played. The most under-rated of the 3 released on the PSX, this game takes the no.1 spot on my chart with ease, you either love it or you hate it, and I love it!

I havn't given this too much thought so I've probably missed out at least one of my favourite games.

10) Soul Calibur - longest lasting fighter EVER. Brilliant graphics. Loads of characters, moves and the mission mode was excellent.

9)Lylat Wars - the point system was ingenius. Perfect completion time.

8)Shenmue - great music, gameplay and a fantastic story. And martial arts. Can't wait for number 2.

7)MSR - best racer ever. Real tracks.

6)Super Mario 64 - the first ever game I played of this sort. Blew me away.

5)Ecco the Dolphin - great graphics, great story, massive game, difficulat game, involves underwater creatures...what more could you want.

4)Banjo Kazzoie - fantastic th first time, fantastic now.

3)Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear (PC) - so much fun, plan it then kill people.

2)Perfect Dark - best multiplayer ever with pretty decent single player.

1)Zelda: Ocarina of Time - absolutely awesome. Outstanding graphics, story and gameplay.

Out of interest, why are so mant peoples' lists made of "new" games?... ie games on the PSX and later

I'll agree that there have been some great games... but for the whole top 10 to be made up of them?

Well, it's your opinion I guess!
