I just had to make a list of my top ten favourite games of all time. It looks like this -

10. Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS)

Online and girlfriend loves it and we can play it together. Which makes it special. And I’ve played it every day since I got it.

9. Mr Driller: Drill Spirits (DS)

Best (English language) Mr Driller. Drill Land might take the spot if it was out in English.

8. Resident Evil 4 (GC)

Well, just because it’s ace. It’s as good as all the other RE games are bad. Put together. Which is very good indeed.

7. World of Warcraft (PC)

Because it’s given me some of my best gaming moments ever… And I just realised today how much I love the graphics.

6. ICO (PS2)

Haunting, atmospheric, etc. Colossus might challenge it, but I’ve not finished that yet. Maybe next year.

5. OutRun 2 (XBOX)

I hope this will be chucked out of the top ten soon when Coast to Coast is released. But for now, this is the best racing game in the world… by a fairly long way. (It was a very long way before PGR3 came out.)

4. Mario 64 (N64)

Loved it then. Love it still. But it’s losing a place a year (roughly) because it’s not aging very well.

3. GTA: San Andreas (PS2)

Best setting, best map, best features, best everything.

2. Elder Scrolls: Morrowind GOTY (PC)

Life eater.Played the Xbox version a lot, too, but the PC version is better. Could be another game to be replaced soon by a sequel. But Oblivion could be broken and shite, so maybe not.

1. Doom (PC)

Genius that hasn’t aged in anything but graphics. Gameplay, level design, feel… it’s still all there. BEST. GAME. EVER.

Right yes. Something like that… maybe. But I want Giga Wing in there, too. And Halo 2. And a Castlevania… And the GC 1080. And KOTOR… And…
