1. Star Wars Knights of The Old Republic XB
-One of the best games I have ever played. This game gave me the best gaming experience and made me feel as if I was in the star wars universe. KOTOR also gave me the greatest replay value of any games ever because of the different things you can do each time. I played through it a total of 4 times and enjoyed it even more each time. That deserves a #1 spot in my top 10.

Honorable Mentions
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow XB

Final Fantasy X PS2
Resident Evil Code Veronica DC/GC

[BABETOOTH]

1. Resident Evil Directors Cut (RE2 is probably better but the original had a greater impact on me)

2. GTA 3 (Vice City is bigger but again nothing prepared me for GTA3, it was so different from anything else I played before it was more addictive than crack!)

3. Metal Gear Solid (Introduced me to stealth tactics, first game I ever played I didn't have to kill everything in sight in order to advance to next level)

4. Inteligent Cube (My wife's favorite)

5. Gran Turismo (It felt so real, The graphics were top notch and massive amount of vehicles was breath-taking)

6. Sonic the Hedgehog (Mario games were fun but Sonic was so fast, fell in love with Sega's mascot instantly!!!)

7. Mario 64 (Some of the same old elements, yet so innovative. I could not believe my eyes as I explored the massive worlds)

8. Animal Crossing (My son's favorite, I thought I was gonna hate this game yet I have been playing with my son for months and I still want to play more just to see what happens next!)

9. Mortal Kombat. (I played this game to death, just cause it had blood)

10. Zelda: Wind Waker (First RPG I ever played, Thanks to the experience I think I love RPGs now!!!)

BTW are there other RPG's out there as fun and or similar to Zelda. Please recommend a few...

[elprincipe]

DC included, huh? Okay...

1. Super Smash Bros. Melee (GCN)
2. Jet Grind Radio (DC)
3. Rogue Squadron II (GCN)
4. Tennis 2K2 (DC)
5. Adventures of Cookie & Cream (PS2)
6. Pikmin (GCN)
7. Viewtiful Joe (GCN)
8. Wario Ware Inc. (GCN)
9. Typing of the Dead (DC)
10. Crazy Taxi (DC)

Not really including GBA, or it would be there with the Castlevania games, Advance Wars 1-2 and Fire Emblem.

[punqsux]

similar to zelda? try beyond good and evil, starfox adventures, or sphinx.
zelda isnt really a true rpg, it falls more into the catagory of action rpg or adventure game.

i noticed alot of you guys like advance wars, if you havent already you should check out Zone of the Enders:The Fist of Mars. its like advance wars with an amazing story and a couple intresting diffrences in the battle system.

[jimbodan]

1.GTA 3 (ps2)
2.Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance (GBA)

8.Mario Kart DD (GC)
9.GTA Vice City (PS2)
10.Sonic Adventure (DC)

[bluenatas09]

oh well crap I didn't realize that GBA games would be included. The first advance wars ate up so much of my time it's crazy...if you have a GBA you definately owe yourself to pick up either the first one or the second one. You won't be dissapointed.

As for that Zone of the Enders: The fist of Mars, I saw that at my TRU as part of that sale..is it pretty decent in length?

[GuilewasNK]

I can only list games that I actually played.

No real order...

1. Quake III Arena (DC) - Introduced more people to online gaming than any other console game.

2. Halo (Xbox) - Xbox's killer app. Still a top selling title 3 years after its release.

3. Devil May Cry (PS2) - Badass lead character. Great gameplay and good challenge.

4. Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) - THE defenitive action game. Good difficulty, great action and technique, very good story.

5. Grand Theft Auto III (PS2) - The PS2's killer app. Probably the game every company wants to emulate.

6. Gran Turismo 3 (PS2) - Top racing sim

7. Metroid Prime (Gamecube) - This really emulates Samus' 2D exploits quite well in a 3D world.

8. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Xbox) - Brilliant game, great puzzles, and perhaps the coolest ending in recent memory.

9. Project Justice (DC) - Probably the most sought after fighter on the DC and one of the more underrated games of the current generation. really nothing else like it available.

10. Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA) - An excellent game that is as good as it gets.


Honorable Mentions....

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (DC)
Metroid Fusion (GBA)
