Since most of us here are talking about the future of gaming, why don't we take a look back at some of our favourite game over the past few years.
Now before I give my top games I want you to know I have judged my games on how much I enjoyed them at the time they were out. It is not some game versus another at the present time.
Also I am quite young so I have not played every game over the past few years, so please do not reply about what games you should be in my list, just create your own. Thank You.

1. Transport Tycoon - It was one of the first games I owned and it still holds a special place in my collection.

2. Red Alert Series - These game are always a joy to play even if you are against war.

3. Championship Manager Series - even if it is a spreadsheet game it has always been the best manager game around.

4. Hidden and Dangerous - The game speaks for itself really.

5. Rollercoaster Tycoon - That man Chris Sawyer did it again, top class game.

Now I only choose 5 PC games, feel free to reply to as much games as you wish for any type of console.

Sorry about the confusion... it's just that my name on email and almost every other message board is Sonic Rav... so that's why i put "look at the name".

Sniping on that level, i don't think so, the best level for that is the Crash Site.
Best game ever? Don't really know, most games i enjoy some i totally hate.

I'm always changing my mind. It's normally the game I'm currently into.
Right now I'm into Perfect Dark (sniping people on the Pelagic 2 causes another man to kneel down by the body and shout "he was my best friend" or "NOOOOOOOO!" or "Ah! I never liked him anyway" it's hillarious!)

The games that have made the biggest impact on me has to be the original worms game and worms united (it had bugs which damaged my computer 3 times but I still loved it)
and goldeneye (sold me an N64)

The games I really like are puzzle games, shoot 'em ups, and games that I can just play again and again.

I don't have like a top ten or anything...

Zelda. Where would I be without this game. this the fist game I bought for my N64,it's sort of puzzly, and I can play it again and again. I also the Zelda thats on the Gameboy, but not on the SNES cos I had no money to buy the SNES, and my parents though I was to young for comuter games then. They know nothing!

The Sims and Sim City 3000. I love games like these. On the Sims i just get a person, and see how many ways I can kill them!

MTV Sports Snowboarding for the Playstation. I'm a fan of the Playstation, but Snowboarding is fun, I can play it again and again, there's some great music on it, and the things the people say when they fall over are absolutley hillarious.

Perfect Dark, and Goldeneye. Goldeneye is just a classic game, and it's one of the reasons I bought it. Perfect Dark is good too, better graphics, more guns, more functions for it, should be made into a movie, but is not a great a classic as Goldeneye.

Mario Kart. I firstly bought this because I drove my dad round the bend with the shooting from Goldeneye, but now I play it with friends when they come over. I can hide all my other games, and then my friends don't think I'm a freak!

Hey! What's going on! No one has mentioned greats like Zelda, Final Fantasy, Legend of Mana etc.

My personal favourite has got to be Sega NiGHTS- the game that should have saved the saturn. I've been trying to buy a saturn with an analogue controller just for this game, but never seem to have enough money!

Other favourites are the Zelda series, Sonic (well, just look at my name!) and Gran Turismo.

So, let's start a newish topic... who do you think is the greatest games producer/creator ever? Mine's Yugi Naka (Sonic Team), but I also like Shigeru Miyamoto (Zelda/Mario/Donkey Kong) and Yu Sukuki (AM2).

My best games list changes on a weekly or even daily basis, depending on the mood I am in.
At the moment I still love to play Tony Hawks, even though it is not the best game in my collection. I love Half-Life and have already re-played it through, and Revolt is also a favorite of mine. The other games I play all the time are Nights on the Saturn and Soul Caliber on DC.

The problem is that some days I feel like playing a game and others I feel bored with it, but if I were to trade it in then I'd probably want to play it again the week after!

my list of great games starts with Metal Gear Solid. best game hands. no if, and or ya-buts about it.

2 Rainbow Six series
3 Grand Turismo
4 Madden 2001
and rounding out the top 5 would have to be horse racing game at the casino. where you bet on which one of the little toy horsies run around the track the fastest. It's really cool.
