Top 5 Favorite Games of All-Time

1. Legend of Zelda : Link to the Past

This one just can't be beaten for me. As much as I've enjoyed the 3D games, I think this version is the best. I've waited for them to make a better Zelda, but I don't think it's been done. Ages and Seasons for Gameboy Color came close, but the pace and mood of Link to the Past is just amazing.

2. Super Mario World

Again, I think this version is the best Mario. I've played and beaten this game more than any other game I believe, and I never really get tired of it. It's simply fun, and the graphics are still beautiful. I also think the SNES era was a perfect age for me.

3. Secret of Mana

Another SNES game, but I guess that's my general mood. After just replaying this recently with some friends, it all came back to me. Just the fact that it's a 3-player action RPG is great enough for me. The mood, music, and story are fun as well. I think just playing a long game like this with a couple friends is too fun.

4. Bubble Bobble

This is a very simple game at it's core, but yet again, so fun. Another 2 player co-op game, this is another one I can always go back to and enjoy. Trying collect this elusive "secret letters", getting the proper warps, etc...Still such a good game.

5. Shenmue 2

I loved the first one, but liked this one even more. This game's graphic beauty and emotion has definitely always stayed with me. I remember getting the UK import for my Dreamcast from my local Electronics Boutique. Part of the reason I love this game is that it never really even came out for the DC in the US, but I had it. I actually may fire up my DC just to try to play this again.

They have a custom thing you can burn now that copies your save from the first one to the UK import version of the second one, if you're curious and you want to keep your items and the like.

I actually forgot about how much time I wasted playing the hell out of Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold and Silver. I think the series just became a ridiculous collect-fest after that, and I'm still waiting for my full 3D MMORPG, but in the meantime I'll sing praise to the original Pokemon games and the Gold/Silver sequels. Those might contend for a my top-5 rotation.
