1. Doom 3 - I played this like Melhouse was playing Mortal Kombat. The best Fps game ever created and a breathrough in time for other technologies to step in.
2. Hitman: Silent Assassin, Contracts & Blood Money.
3. Tomb Raider - all series. Love'em.
4. Medal Of Honour - Allied Assault & Call Of Duty. The original masterpieces.
5. Warcraft 2 - classic! Endless days & nights while being a teen.

I also have to add:

Shinobi 3 for Sega.
Sonic 3 for sega.
Mortal Combat 1,2,3.
Mario 64

I couldn't pick just 5... The Phantasy Star series, Dragon Quest series, Smash Bros series, 2D Mario games, Genesis Sonic games, Rez, Valkyrie Profile, Star Ocean 2, Sin and Punishment, Super Metroid, and Zelda:LTTP would all be fighting for a top spot.

Diablo II + Expansion
Counter-Strike
DOTA
Ultima Online
Super Smash Brothers (as a series)

Street Fighter Alpha 3
Rez
Final Fantasy Tactics
Xenogears
Psychonauts

No real order, these are just my 5 favorite.

Perhaps this isn't entirely on-topic, but it's most certainly related:

The Chrono Trigger port for the DS is fucking amazing. It looks and sounds great, even on a tiny screen -er, 2 screens.

Originally posted by Spike wow.... only 5. This is really tough. in no order off the top of my head; *Xenogears *Counter Strike Source (Even tho the original is what i first played and loved, source just improved upon everything...graphics, addition of physics, lighting....great job Valve, one of the elite developers in the business) *Metal Gear Solid (Great story, great gameplay...even though the remake had upgraded graphics the original just nailed the overall tone and feel of the game....everything was already perfect; the voice acting, the script, the cutscene direction, the codec messages, the score...no need to change anything there) *FFXIII (The first FF Ive ever played...just opened me up to all the FF's and tonnes of other square titles after that) *Zelda Ocarina of Time

what the hell is FFXIII? did you mean VIII? and xenogears fuckin sucked bro


anyways my top 5
5. Halo 2 - my buddies back home and i played this game nonstop.
4. Super Mario Bros 3 - i still play this to kill time on my phone.
3. Castlevania: SOTN - greatest 2d platformer/RPG ever
2. Tetris - would like to think that i'm the best at this game
1. Final Fantasy VI - fuck FFVII, you sheep

I can't limit it to just 5, so I'll list my favourite in each Genre.

RPG:

EARTHBOUND! I'm going to agree with anyone who says FF4, FF6 or Chrono Trigger are better games (FUCK FF7, overrated piece of shit 30 hour RPG... Kefka would fuck Sephiroth in his left ear right before he blew his nuts off). Anyway, back to Earthbound. You can buy your own house, it's set in current-time, it's fun, filled with jokes, the battles are fast and the scrolling HP is an amazing mechanic. If you haven't played this game, you're missing out on one of the most enjoyable RPG experiences in life.

Adventure:

Zelda: LttP! My favourite game ever. Ocarina of time is great because it's 3D, but a 3D upgrade to a game that already exists isn't enough to get top spot in my book, sorry. Also, where were all the monsters in OoT? It was BORING playing OoT after being used to killing things all over on SNES. LttP blends perfect game-length with tight controls, awesome dungeon-design and fun secrets that aren't too tough to figure out. Runner up? Landstalker for Genesis, try it sometime.

Beat-em-Up:

Ninja Turtles 4: Turtles in Time! Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Throwing enemies at the screen = win, and it still contains one of the hardest bosses in gaming (the turtle with the spiky shell you can only damage from behind).

Platform:

I'm gonna go ahead and say Mario Galaxy! Mario 64 redefined (I would say 'defined') 3D platforming, but Mario Galaxy is just so much more fun for me. It's 3D without making the mistake the 3D Sonic games have made in giving us TOO much freedom. Mario 64 is an amazing game, but it feels like I'm exploring worlds in 3D, Mario Galaxy makes me feel like I'm playing a 2D platformer in 3D, and I love it.

Fighter:

Super Smash Bros. There's a case to be made for Melee, and there are so-called fighter 'purists' who think their games with super-duper button combos to unleash awesome moves are 'real', while SSB is 'fake'. But eff that! No other game in the genre requires you to use the stage, air combat, ground combat, projectile combat, a grab that WORKS to stop turtling, dodge-defense and block defense (and holy shit if you turn on items) the way that SSB does. For making us require more skill than knowing how to string together a half-circle on our controller, followed by a button, or simply holding back to block, SSB takes the fighter title for me.

FPS - Single Player:

Goldeneye! Sure, they've improved console controls for FPS games these days, but I haven't seen a game with the same quality that Goldeneye has. The missions are actually tough, the challenges to acquire cheats are tougher, the game is just a golden single-player experience (and the multiplayer is awesome too!)

FPS - Multiplayer:

Action Quake 2! Counterstrike before there WAS Counterstrike. Except 4 times the speed, and DOORS! We're talking you get shot, you bleed to death unless you bandage. Shot in the leg? You bleed to death AND limp around unless you bandage. Jump from a high place that causes damage but you don't die? Again, you limp until you bandage. Did I mention the speed? It ran on the Q2 engine, so there was obviously straffe-jumping and double-jumps. Weapons included such staples as the MP5, M4 Carbine, Sniper Rifle, Pistol (and dual), Throwing Knives (could also use as a slash), pump-action shotgun, and sawed-off double barrel. It also had a kick-mechanic that hasn't been mimicked in an FPS until COD4's knife mechanic. Your enemy too close to shoot? No problem, jump while facing him and if you're in contact with him, kick the pesky fuck right off the roof you're fighting on!

RTS:

Starcraft! Nuf' said?

Turn-based strategy:

Heroes of Might and Magic 4.

Simulation:

Sim City 2000. I still open this program up on my computer and create random cities from time to time. The more recent sequels are ok, but just don't do it for me for some reason.
