Off topic post, What is your top 5?

[Mrgrfx]

What is your top ten games of all time? I am a true hardcore gamer, being fascinated by the earliest systems. However, I will limit my top 10 to the most recent systems. This top 5 is in reference to the following criteria, overall gameplay (control), graphics, fun, Aura--this one has to do with the way you feel when you play, beat and replay the game. Does the game hold your interest, intellectually speaking? After these five, it gets really difficult to list them, there some really fun and good games, especially for the DC, although I still think everygame out right now, is missing something, something so big that I don't understand why the company could miss it. It is different for all games, but the majority lack heart.

1. Shenmue
2. Metal Gear Solid
3. Xenogears (Best story)
4. Final Fantasy VII (very influential)
5. Phantasy Star Online (probably the most fun overall of the games)

Here's my top 10:

1. Chrono Trigger (SNES) (I still play this game on emulators.)
2. Final Fantasy VII (PC)
3. DaggerFall: The Elder Scrolls (PC)
4. Phantasy Star Online (DC)
5. Diablo/Diablo2 (PC)
6. Half-Life: Counter-Strike (PC)
7. Icewind Dale (PC)
8. Baldurs Gate 1/2 (PC)
9. Shenmue (DC)
10. Heroes of Might and Magic III (PC)
