Your top 10 favourite games of all time

[lemansfanatic]

I'm a little curious about this one so I hope it's okay I ask.

I only ever played Need for Speed games on PC and I remember fondly the following:

NFS
NFS SE
NFS II
NFS II SE
NFS III aka. NFS Hot Pursuit
NFS IV aka NFS Road Challenge/High Stakes
NFS V akak. Nfs Porsche 2000/Porsche Unleashed

And for each game it seems they, mostly, got closer and closer to a driving sim with NFS V taking the full step (It's one game with 80 different Porsche's from the very basic early days to the latest thing in the year 2000).

But then came NFS High Stakes II which was ported badly from consoles and a huge disappointment to me. And since then it seems to me the NFS has moved further and further away from being action sim like and to simply out of this world action. Thus my question is this with the NFS series being such a wide variety of racing games do you literally mean "any" because that has me wondering?

probably the original, simply because when it came out I had never played a driving/racing game and spent hours on it. Now that I have tryed more realistic type sim racing I stopped played acarde racers, but still have a soft spot in my heart for NFS because there was more action, silly fun things like body kits and NOS that I enjoyed for hours.

GT5 (That is the game that made me a lot more active in communities for any game really)
Iracing (Best racing sim hands down)
Minecraft (Who doesn't love minecraft?)
Midnight Club Series (Especially the older ones, either #1 or 2)
GT2 (My first GT game and to a lot of people it was the best)

GTAV has nothing so memorable as "Blue Warrior needs food badly".

Forza 5.
Red Dead Redemption.
Need For Speed: Rivals.
Monster Hunter Freedom.
Monster Hunter Freedom 2.
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

[SilverFire]

Oh well. Time to become fond of myself.

• ModNation Racer (PS3)
• Gran Turismo 6 (PS3)
• Gran Turismo 2 (PSOne)
• Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (I think) (PS3)
• Call of Duty: World at War (PS3)
• Guitar Hero 2 (PS2)
• Spyro The Dragon, entire series (PSOne, PS2, PS3)
• Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PS3), thanks @Ryou for showing me this game. 👍
• Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (PS3)
• Borderlands 2 (PS3) I don't know why this game is so funny. I just like it.

 

[Sureboss]

Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker (Amiga/ST)

The scratch'n'sniff discs on those are worth a few bob

 

[MatskiMonk]

Sorry I can't rank them in order.. but:

Gran Turismo (PS)
Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
Red Dead Redemption (PS3)
Grand Theft Auto III (PS2)
Grand Theft Auto Vice City (PS2)
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (PS2)
Doom (PC)
B17 Flying Fortress (Circa 1994?) (PC)
Creatures (Commodore 64)
Creatures 2 (Commodore 64)
Vendetta (Commodore 64)
Supremacy (Commodore 64)
Night Shift (Commodore 64)
OutRun Europa (Commodore 64)
LHX Attack Chopper (Megadrive)

That's more than 10, and actually I could list a few more from the C64 and possibly from the Megadrive.

If I had to pick the all rest best, Red Dead Redemption would be hard to fault, it's certainly my favourite PS3 game. GTA IV and V are great games, but both failed to deliver on either the atmosphere or the amount of gameplay of the PS2 era GTA games.
