I first got into games when I was like 10 years old. The 8-bit Nintendo was my very first console along with a copy of The legend of Zelda and every single Super Mario Bros cassette. I’m glad we have progressed dramatically over the years. Blowing the inside and then sticking it into the freezer for 15 minutes had gotten played out. Anywho, over these years of gaming elevation, I have ran threw my fair share of them like ex-prom dates. And over a decade of the entertaining exhibition, I have came up with my top picks countdown and I will also inform you on why I chose and recommend it to your gaming vocabulary.
10) Fight Night Series> If your a boxing fan, this would be a definite pick up. In their latest release of Round 4, this is as close to being realistic as it gets. Custom character creations, world-wide online boxing and all new punching system, this is an awesome choice.
9) Tekken Series> This fighting game has been a favorite since Tekken 2. Although the first Tekken was a bit too forgein for me when it released, the follow ups in the series were perfect. The linkers and combos get better and better with each new release. And with Tekken 6 new story mode that was added, makes this game even more appealing.
8 ) Grand Theft Auto Series> Ranked top 10 every single time this one came out, and mostly ranked at #1. Enjoy being the one man army killing machine as you roam cities with dozen gats in your arsenal. Hijack cars, beat law biding citizens to death or just do whatever you please. Now that’s gangsta!!
7) Resident Evil Series> If you don’t get a copy of any Resident Evil, I really hope you have a valid excuse. Classic horror all the way baby. Some scenes can be scary as I don’t know what. In the Resident Evil 5, you can tag team on these zombies with a partner online or locally. This is my top horror pick of all time. (Resident Evil to my American readers/ Biohazard to my Japanese readers)
6) Call of Duty Series> Die hard war fans, THIS IS IT!!! I don’t do much of the campaign modes because I’m in love with the online play. Free-for-all and team death matches are the best (according to me). Call of duty: Modern Warfare 2 for those of you who enjoy our weapons and terrorists of now days. And Call of duty: World at War for the guys and gals who hate the nazis.
5) Super Mario Series> This is a classic for me. Nes, Super Nes, Gamecube, Wii, whatever console there is, this series has been around forever. Been a great kid like adventure game for me ever since i was a kid. Now I’m a big kid and still in love with this series.
4) God of War Series> Greek mythological, unique, puzzling and extreme action packed. Travel through these old ruins and get help of gods and goddesses to battle titans, harpies, cyclops and many, many over creatures that exist in the world of Greek Mythology.
3) Metal Gear Series> This is must have game, using many gadgets and weapons, and testing your skills of espionage. Snake is the main character and you must sneak through the game, trying not to get spotted and silently take out any enemies you can.
2) Legend of Zelda Series> This is a fantastic adventure/rpg. This would be great for all age levels and very addicting! My favorite of this category would be Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Now matter which one it is, they are all great.
1) Final Fantasy Series> Here we are finally, this is my all time #1, best of the best. Not a better role playing game out there. Not a game you can beat over night, usually takes me months. I explore every place possible, level up each character to the max along with each weapon, and I can’t wait for the release of Final Fantasy XIII.
As of today, these are my top 10 picks. I recommend the latest version of the game of that series, but if you can’t get that one, than get the closest that you can, they’re all great. Keep this in mind the next time you go shopping for your console!!!
