Prepare yourself for maximum nostalgia.

That and scapegoat wax in general. Those songs will forever bring to mind jet set radio.

Most of these are old now, but what the heck, still play them even now....
1: Streets Of Rage 2 (MegaDrive)
2: Master Of Orion (PC)
3: Rise Of The Triads (PC)
4: Quake 2 (PC)
5: Terranigma (SNES)
6: Donkey Kong (NES)
7: Star Fox (N64)
8: Buggy Boy (Atari)
9: Doom 3 (PC)
10: Cannon Fodder (MegaDrive)
11: Wonder Boy In Monster World (MegaDrive)

16: FIFA 10 (PS3)
17: Zombie Driver (PC)
18: HalfLife 2 (Ps3)
19: Strider (MegaDrive)
20: Discworld (PC)

And there you have the list of someone who has been gaming for just over 20 years!

If I go by most time spent playing the game, Halo 3 and Halo Reach rise head and shoulders above the rest. 8000 games of Halo 3, and about 2000 games of reach played. Since I have about 40 games, I guess it'll take me a while to formulate this list.

1. Mass effect 2
2. Halo 1
3. Space marine
4. Assassins creed 3
5. Gears of war 2
6. HalfLife 2
7. Fable II
8. Fallout 3
9. Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 1&2
10. Red Dead Redemption.

I only have a top 10.

Impossible, to many.

I don't even have a top 5.

1.Icewind Dale 1
2.Dawn Of War 1&2
3.Company Of Heros
4.Darksiders
5.Baldurs Gate 2 Throne Of Baal
6.Neverwinter Nigths 1&2
7.Age Of Empires
8.Mass Effect 1&2
9.Red Dead Redemtion
10.Call Of Duty 4 ( the campagin part)
11.Sacrifice
12.Diabllo 1&2 + Expansions
13.Ghost recon series
14.Rainbow Six Las Vegas
15.Shogun 2 Total War
16. Heros Of Migth & Magic 3
17.Rome Total war Barbarian Invasion
18.Overlord 1&2
19. Command And Conquer series in total
20. Gears Of War series

I'll give it a shot, but this list will always be 'subject to change' and age or brand loyalty tends to mean nothing.

Also not in Order, that would be impossible.

Halo: Reach (xbox 360, although I have liked and enjoyed all the Halo games including ODST and the ending of 2)
Sims 3 (xbox and PC versions)
Road Rash (3DO)
Civilisation 2 (PS1)

2. Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
3. Killzone 3
4. Demon's Souls
5. Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
