Hmm, favorite games. I've thought about this, but never really very seriously. I don't know how accurate a list this is, but it's pretty close I guess. I know it was favorite game, but it seemed like most people were doing lists anyway.
10: Freespace two: I had a hard time deciding for this one. I figured it would probably be either this, Mega Man 3, or Mega Man X4. I play the other two more, but as a whole I think I enjoy Freespace 2 more. It's not the most well known series, but it's well worth checking out. It's available at Good old games.com for pretty cheap.
9: Super smash bros Brawl: For this one, I really like both Brawl and Melee. I don't normaly consider the two to be some of my favorite games, but after thinking about it, and how much I play them they really are. That's part of the reason it's this low because, I enjoy it, but I think I find a bit more good classic gaming out of some of the higher ups. And Brawl over Melee, mostly due to which I play more. To be honest I don't have that much of a preference over the play style.
8: Pokemon Emerald: I've always been a huge pokemon fan. It was practically my childhood. Games, cards, shows, toys, and all that. I'm sure many can relate. This was a really hard choice, choosing between Gen two and 3. Crystal has always been one of my favorites. And so has Emerald. Perhaps not quite as nostalgic, but as a game, I think it is slightly better as a whole. I considered putting Heart Gold in here also, but then I realized that I definitely like Emerald better than Heart Gold. It just seems like the most well rounded to me. Crystal definitely comes second if it was about Pokemon though
7:LoZ Windwaker: The first Zelda I ever played was Oracle of seasons. since then I've played through a few, but actually I think the only ones I've actually completed are Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of ages, Links awakening, and Windwaker. I've started games on several of them, but those are the only ones I've completed. Seasons is easily the most Nostalgic, but I just really love Windwaker. I recently started replaying it, and had forgotten how much I love the game. I've gotten a bit over half way through Ocarina, (Water temple) and it just didn't seem nearly as polished. I know it was the first 3D Zelda, but to be perfectly honest, it seemed almost boring to me. just, Dungeon after dungeon after dungeon it seemed. And that's Zelda, it just seemed like there wasn't as much to it as Windwaker. I've started Majora's mask and that shows a lot of promise, I just need to continue with it.
6: Final fantasy tactics: It'd been a long time since I'd played this. A few days ago I started replaying this with an emulator. Since then I've spent hours on it every day. It's just the perfect turn based strategy game. This game is just hard not to like. I couldn't decide if it should go higher than this or not. This and #5 were a real toss up.
5: Team Fortress 2: I've actually only had this game since like June or so. Since then I've really grown to love it. If I were to make a list of favorite shooters, this would take #1 easily. Granted I haven't played very many, but this still takes #1 for that. I love the gameplay, I love the setting, I love the characters, I love the diversity, it just seems like the perfect shooter to me. And if you get bored of one kind of player just switch to the next class.
4: Chrono Trigger: Needs no explanation. The reason it's not higher than this, is because this is supposed to be the top ten of all time for me. That's a lot.
3: Mega Man Legends: It was hard choosing between this and the #2 game. they're both some of my favorites of all time. Really what it came down to was preference in gaming style. MML is third person shooter, while Cave Story is 2D sidescrolling shooter. The funny thing is, I've always thought, that Cave Story is kind of what MML would be like if it was in 2D. In this I really meant the whole Legends series. Mega Man Legends 1, 2 and The misadventures of Tron Bonne. The first game probably is the best, but I don't think that you can really take one without the others personally.
2: Cave Story: All I can say is, CheckitoutCheckitoutCheckitoutCheckitoutCheckitout! It'sfreeIt'sfreeIt'sfreeIt'sfreeIt'sfree!
http://www.cavestory.org/1: Chrono Cross: I think I've explained this before. I played Chrono Cross before I even knew there was a Chrono Trigger. I really loved the game.
Really loved the game. It was just a lot of fun. Plus it wasn't like any RPG I'd played before with the Element system and all that. It kind of reminded me of Tales of Symphonia at the time with how you enter a battle. Before this most of the RPGs I'd played had more Pokemon or Final Fnatasy style random battles. It was just all around dazzling. I didn't understand half of it both for not having played CT and it being as complicated as well all know. But I still really enjoyed it. I think that's part of the reason I like it better. For a lot of people they played CT, loved it, and saw that CC was different, so that it didn't seem the same. Well for me it was the other way around. I still loved CT, but that's why it's lower on the list partially.
Note: Sorry if I missed some grammar or spelling errors. Really tired right now.
EDIT: Oh dang. I just realized a fatal flaw in this list. I forgot another one of my favorite series. Man I feel stupid now. Just insert Phoenix Wright Ace attorney (The whole series. I can't pick just one) in between TF2 and CT.
