Top 100 Games of MY Time!!
In discussing my top 10 favourite games with a friend last week, we both realized that 10 was a number far too small to encompass our lives in gaming. After thinking up a quick list of ten games each of us would never be able to live without, it was quickly followed by several exclamations of “OHHHHH, I forgot about so-and-so!! Dammit!” It was suggested that it would make more sense to have a top 100, instead of only showing love to a measly ten games.
Would that even be possible, though? I mean, I know I own upwards of 550 games, and I still have a couple hundred more on my wishlist… I don’t own these games merely for show – I’ve played them all, and had enough time to go through and finish most of them at some point. Still, would I actually be able to narrow it down to a hundred, then sort from there?
After that little chat with Greg, I thought I’d challenge myself to come up with such a list! One that I’d put my heart and soul into, and one I could complete and say “Yeah… that looks about right.”
As with other top-whatever lists, this one will undoubtedly stir some debate. Mine is especially odd to the casual observer; you’ll notice that very few RPG’s made my list, and a handful of critically panned titles will show up from time to time… this *is* my list, however, and for one reason or another, in my 29 years, I’ve spent more time on the games in my next hundred posts than I have on the others in my collection. I was able to find that special something about them that I couldn’t help but fall in love with.
The Top 100 Games of MY Time!!! Whoo!! Stay tuned!
