My top 15 games of all time! Part 1.

I've been wanting to compile a list of my top games for awhile now. So I finally decided to put one together. I'm going to start with 15 -13. Here goes, hope you like them. If not, that's cool too :-)

 

15) F-ZERO (SNES).

I've never been a racing games fan to be honest. Mainly because I suck at them, and get bored with them pretty quickly. (That's more to do with me than the games themselves). I never actually owned this game, it was my older brother who had it. But I loved it. I think mainly as I didn't suck as bad at it as other racing games. I also liked the futuristic theme to it. And playing it when I was 10 year old , that meant even more! Nowadays I'll play it from time to time, as a nice bit of gaming nostalgia!

14) SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 (Sega Megadrive/Genesis).

I was always more of a Mario fan than a Sonic one, but this was the Sonic game I'd go back to.  I loved the addition of the 2 player mode, and even though it was only 4 zones, I feel the competion aspect of it gave it a re-play factor. I also loved the zones. My favourite was Casino Night, but I also enjoyed Mystic Cave. Which may explain why I enjoyed the 2 player mode, as these 2 were featured. Last year I downloaded this on my Xbox 360, and still stuck at the end boss. And I only got that far thanks to the ability to save my progress, which is cheating in my eyes. Maybe one day I'll do it "old-school", in one sitting with no saves. Maybe.......

 13)  Bioshock (Xbox 360/PS3).

My first recent game on the list, and a gem. I played it on the 360, and only played it earlier this year. The first thing that strikes me with this game is the quality of the visuals, which is more impressive as it's now nearly 4 years old. Not just the quality of the graphics, but the style 'Rapture', the world you're playing in. Set in an alterantive 1960, there's a retro art-deco look the game, which is a fantastic back-drop to the story going on. Which is the games other strong suit. It's a pretty original story, especially for a FPS. Set in an underwater city called Rapture, you play a character who ends up there via plane crash. The nature of Rapture and it's creator Andrew Ryan unfold as the game goes on. I wouldn't want to give anymore than that away as wouldn't want to ruin the joy of playing it if you haven't yet.The gameplay is also top notch. Plasmids are DNA enhancements that give almost magical style attacks such as fireballs and ice attacks. There's also an array of guns, all of which can be upgraded. There's a varity of enemies, all inhabitants of Rapture, and all gone mad! (Again I won't give away why). And then there's the Big Daddys (as pictured). And they're a whole different story.... So if you have PS3 or Xbox 360, this is a great title to pick up as soon as you can.
