You're over-thinking it. Just do it like Desert Island Disks. You can only play 10 games for the rest of your life. What are they?Mouldywarp wrote:I'll explain why I can't do this. Games of different genres are really difficult to compare. It's like trying to figure out which you prefer - Jimi Hendrix or steak and chips? It's ridiculous. What does Advance Wars have in common with Ikaruga? As much as an iconic guitarist does with a deliciously meaty meal. So how do I conceivably put one above the other?

Right at the age I was listening to ska, punk and the like and dressing like a tit, this game captured all of that, put in some awesome and ridiculous levels (yo my airport scores would destroy you) and added some skate videos to the mix. For my money, this is the one that they got ‘right’ as far as possible – none of the running stuff from 4, and the revert is well and truly the greatest addition to the series. Score attack crack. Â

I don't really even view RPGs like Final Fantasy VII as pure games at all - more like mixed media, a game cross-bred with a comic or something. In this light, FF7 was a pretty dull game that just so happened to be cellotaped to the best comic I've ever read.
