Top 20 games of all time by Steak Part 1

Top 20 games of all time by Steak Part 1

Remember that this list is my opinion, many people will agree with me, but more will probably disagree.

20. Halo: Combat Evolved, XBOX. One of the most influential FPS games of all time, a release title for the XBOX. This Halo only had four people per match, unless you used a lan, but the single player made up for that. Launched on November 15th, 2001

19. Super Mario 64, N64. Some know this as the main game on the Nintendo 64, for me, it was the reason I bought it. Another launch title, some of the best games were the first. The first fully 3D Mario game with a changeable camera view, nicely polished graphics (especially for the time). It was such a hit that Nintendo re made it with the addition of Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario as playable characters for the DS, then they made it a launch title for the Virtual Console on the Wii. Launched on N64 September 29th, 1996.

18. Spyro: Year of the Dragon, PS1. For me, this was one of the most fun I have ever had playing a Spyro game, in my opinion it is the best of the series, I first played this at a friends house thinking that playing as a purple dragon was completely gay, but it was fun as h***(I don't want to be liable). I had it for a while, but I actually had to sell it back to my friend for the last few bucks I needed for my 360. Haven't been able to find it since. Launched on November 30th, 2000

17. The Legend of Zelda, NES. Ah, the first game in the Zelda series, so many memories, some fond, some pure h***. the game was really hard, and without the manual, it was even harder, never finished it, but it sure was revolutionary. Launched on August 22, 1987. Also on the Virtual Console

16. Crackdown, 360. A pure gem in the rough. Too cliche? Well anyways, you played as a super cop, trying to wipe out all the gangs that are running a muck in the city. About the opposite of GTA. What can I say? The game was fun, addicting, and long. Launched on February 20th, 2007.

15. ATV: Offroad Fury 2, PS2. Sure, 3 and 4 are probably better, but I have yet to get them. This game is essentially just racing on a set track or in free roam with an ATV, All Terrain Vehicle. I have put more hours into this game than most on my 360, Wii, and PS2, and that's saying a lot! Launched on November 9th, 2002.

14. Mario Kart DS, NDS. Truly a replica of Mario Kart 64, incredible gameplay and graphics for a hand held, 12 playable karters, 13 if you count Shy Guy who can only be played via DS Download Play for the person without the game. This game introduced single player non racing mini games, Balloon Battle and Shine Battle (?). These can also be accessed in multi player mode. The first Mario Kart game to feature an emblem maker and Online gameplay. Launched November 14th, 2005.

13. New Super Mario Bros., NDS. The first true to the classic Mario side scrolling game in ages, and it was one h*** of a game! With 8 worlds, Mario, and Luigi, this game had it all! Secret exits to send you to far away worlds and a double length final world made this game a classic all over agin. I mean, it has so many power ups, the all new Mega Mushroom, Tini Mushroom, Blue Koopa Shell, and the classics, Mushrooms and Fire Flowers. Launched on May 25th 2006. Boy was that a great day.

12. Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Gen. The first Sega game on this list just happens to be the first Sega game I have ever played. I remember that game like it was just yesterday that I played it. The multiplayer has kept it being a great party game for me, because I have it on the XBOX Sonic Mega Collection Plus game. The whole concept of multiplayer in this game is quite thought out, four stages, and if it's tied, an extra one. It is amazing that such a game has kept my friends and me interested for so long. Let alone the one player game. The memories from this game are incredibly strong, being that it is the first game I have ever played. I would have loved to put it at number one just because of that, but I don't want to be too bias in this list. Launched on November 24th, 1992. It has also been released on the XBOX, PS2, and GC in the compilation game Sonic Mega Collection and Sonic Mega Collection Plus, it has also been released for the Virtual Console.

11. Gran Turismo 4, PS2. Just want to mention here, I like Gran Turismo 3 about as much. This game is a racing game including an incredible amount of cars, so many that I have included a link to the Wikipedia page for it because this would take 6 times the room of everything else on this list. GT4 launched a Prologue at Christmas 2003 because it was pushed back, but the final version was released on February 22nd, 2004. Copy and past this for more info on GT4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Turismo_4

All right, that concludes Part 1 of this list, check often because Part 2 and 3 will be coming soon!

I guess I should change that... What I meant is that it is really frustrating, I love the game, but it is just so hard without the manual.

Excuse me, but why is playing as a purple dragon considered gay? I don't like that, you should put something like "stupid" or "weird" instead of gay. That's very homophobic.
