I've purposefully only chosen one game from a series, kinda like how Edge wanted it for a previous list. If I revise my top 10, Yoshi's Island is definitely going in.
10 isn't enough. No space for Okami, SotC, Castlevania: SotN... SO MANY GREATS!!!I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -

Or you could argue that FFVII introducing the JRPG to the mainstream in the West is the most important thing to ever happen in the genre and gaming history, if you consider the impact it had for Sony.hylian_elf wrote:
There were plenty of JRPGs released in the west prior to FFVII and they were popular, but FFVII's popularity/influence was on a completely different level.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -

Correct. No Half Lifes. -
Only full lives. (I played the sequel after blitzing through the original for its story/setting, hence full life in my list.)I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

I'm tempted to put Portal in. Not sure what to take out if I revise my list. Maybe... MGS3.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

Nah, I won't. I'm pretty happy with my list at the moment. A couple of them are personal favourites, like ICO and Journey, rather than 'best' games in the context of what was around, tech at the time etc etc, but gotta give them some love.

Very close to getting on my list. Brilliant game. Fuck everything it built, but a brilliant game. Spent a worrying amount of time playing the MP.
Howdy, Stranger!
