Winners Announced! The Top 150 Games That I Own and Have Never Played

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Just like everyone else has suggested, but it is for good reason. Great because you can just pick up and play for a little while if you want or play hours on end trying to do absolutely everything in the game.

Zelda: A Link to the Past - If you like other Zeldas this is a no brainer. Considered by many to be the best Zelda and rightfully so.

Suikoden - I happen to be a huge fan of this series so I am a little biased, but you should try this out to see if you would like the series as a whole. Relatively short too for an RPG, only about 20 hours first time through.

Shadow of the Colossus - Great, great game. Really no other game like it. My choice for top game of 2005.

Final Fantasy VIII - Not for everyone, but I vastly prefer it to VII.
 
Yikes this is tough... I can't believe some of the greats on this list you have never played... First let me say you should definitely play every single Zelda game on your list - twice. Here's the definitive list (in no particular order) no matter what anyone tells you (with only one Zelda on there for variety):

1. Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (PSX) - Quite possibly the greatest side scrolling adventure game EVER (Super Metroid might edge it out... might)

2. Metroid Prime (GCN) - My favorite game of ALL TIME. The greatest 2D to 3D translation for a series. The pacing, graphics, puzzles, story - everything about this game is perfect - and I don't even like first person shooters.

3. Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES) - The greatest 2D adventure game EVER. Just amazing (although the Oracle games were this close to being my pick - they're that good). I'm a little jealous that I can never go back and play this again for the first time but in reality you are missing out for never experiencing it.

4. Resident Evil 4 (GCN) - There's not much I can say about this that hasn't already been said. Easily the pinnacle of the series. It's just so freaking great.

5. Pikmin (GCN) - This is probably a little bit of an odd choice but it was a game I wasn't expecting to like at all and I fell in love with it - it's really neat and just a fun game to play - especially if you like problem solving.

Honorable mention: Sly Cooper And The Thevious Raccoonus (PS2), Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2), GTA: SA (PS2).
 
Wow, you have some great games on that list. A lot of your unplayed games are unplayed by me as well, so it was easy to eliminate those as recommendations (I can't recommend them if I haven't played them). That said, out of the ones in your list that I have played, here are my top five recommendations (in order):

Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES)
Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)
Skies Of Arcadia Legends (GCN)
Advance Wars 2 (GBA)
Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (Xbox)

It was tough getting it down to five, and it was especially hard to eliminate Final Fantasy Chronicles from the list. I hope this list helps you tackle your backlog, and thanks for reminding me about all the great games in my backlog I need to play (no sarcasm intended).
 
1. Super Mario RPG
2. Zelda: A link to the Past
3. Resident Evil 4
4. Castlevania SOTN
5. Shadow of the Colossus

Also worth playing:
-Chronicles of Riddick
-Secret of Mana
-Phoenix Wright

On a slightly different note, you have at least 100 games that are must plays. I hope you find the time to enjoy all these games as I have yet to find the time to play most of my backlog.
 
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Xbox)
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Xbox)
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Xbox)
Jak II (PS2)
Resident Evil 4 (GCN)

Those are in order and all 5 are in my Top 10 best games ever. What games are you playing?
 
125 Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (Xbox)
126 Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II (Xbox)
26 Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GCN)
109 Shadow Of The Colossus (PS2)
48 Jade Empire (Xbox)
 
Advance Wars 2 (GBA)
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (Xbox)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Xbox)
Mercenaries: Playground Of Destruction (Xbox)
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (Xbox)
Steel Battalion (Xbox)
 
1. Sell them all
2. Play the stock market game ;-)


----

real list:

1. MGS 3: Subsistence
2. Devil May Cry
3. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne


there are a lot of good games on that list...but these three games are in a league of their own in terms of fun, story, gameplay, strategy, etc.
 
You have to play the Zelda, Mario, Metroid, and Final Fantasy games. Admitting to not beating those is a disgrace and laughable. Whether they are good or bad, a true gamer just is not a gamer without playing such classic names. Even the non-hardcore play those regardless.

I would say play the classic names first that already have a long history of being great. Then move on from there.

If you have not played Mario RPG, I laugh in your face.
 
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence
- Absolutely an outstanding game that's just a compelling game to see what's next for Snake. Play the Ape vs. Snake missions, too, on the second disc if not just for the intro video.

Shadow Of The Colossus
- One of the most impressive PS2 games around. The sense of satisfaction that comes from taking the huge Colossi is like no other game around.

Metroid Prime
- An outstanding game for the Gamecube and the game looks great and plays very well.

Ratchet & Clank
- One of the best platforming series around and an outstanding game. Play this and follow up with the following games in the series to get the whole story.

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
- If you're something of a Star Wars fan, you owe it to yourself to play through this game.
 
100 Resident Evil 4 (GCN)- The best game I've played so far in the last 3 years.
37 Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)- Very good game. Still haven't beat it.

Other than those, I'm in a similar but smaller boat. Here's mine:

7 Boktai (GBA)
10 Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon (GBA)
24 Dragon Warrior VII (PSX)
26 Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GCN)
32 Final Fantasy Anthology (PSX)
33 Final Fantasy Chronicles (PSX)
34 Final Fantasy I & II (GBA)
35 Final Fantasy IX (PSX)
36 Final Fantasy Origins (PSX)
37 Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)
38 Final Fantasy VIII (PSX)
39 Final Fantasy X (PS2)
45 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Xbox)
47 Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (Xbox)
53 Klonoa 2 (PS2)
56 Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES)
57 Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
58 Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap (SNES)
59 Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Ages (GBC)
60 Legend Of Zelda: Oracle Of Seasons (GBC)
61 Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker (GCN)
62 Lunar (PSX)
63 Lunar 2 (PSX)
76 Nights (Saturn)
78 Ogre Battle 64 (N64)
79 Onimusha 2 (PS2)
80 Onimusha 3 (PS2)
89 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS)
99 Resident Evil 0 (GCN)
101 Resident Evil Code Veronica X (GCN)
102 Rez (PS2)
109 Shadow Of The Colossus (PS2)
110 Shenmue 2 (Xbox)
111 Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga Volume 1 (PS2)
120 Skies Of Arcadia Legends (GCN)
134 Super Mario RPG (SNES)
138 Tales Of Symphonia (GCN)
142 Ultimate Spider-Man (Xbox)
144 Viewtiful Joe 2 (GCN)
145 Xenogears (PSX)
146 Xenosaga (PS2)
148 X-Men Legends II (Xbox)
150 Zone Of The Enders: 2nd Story (PS2)
 
My choices are simple. You ask for five you get five.

#1. 12 Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (PSX)
Why? Because it's one of the best games of all time.

#2. 70 Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PS2)
Why? Because it's one of the best games of all time.

#3. 109 Shadow Of The Colossus (PS2)
Why? Because it's one of the best games of all time.

#4. 100 Resident Evil 4 (GCN)
Why? Because it's one of the best games of all time.

#5. 56 Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (SNES)
Why? Because it's one of the best games of all time.

Those are five classic games,that you should have a great time playing.
 
[quote name='shipwreck']

26 Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GCN)
72 Metroid Prime (GCN)
73 Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (GCN)
99 Resident Evil 0 (GCN)
100 Resident Evil 4 (GCN)

[/QUOTE]

If top 5, then those are my choices. However, let's just pick one......Resident Evil 4 'GOTY,' and the best 15-25 hours you'll spend on July 1st (weekend)! Second choice would be the first Metroid Prime.
 
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Panzer Dragoon Orta

Get the point?

Ok now my real list, I made it as objective as possible.

Castlevania: SOTN
Panzer Dragoon Orta (seriously)
Shadow of the Colossus
Resident Evil 4
Last one is up to you, too hard to find an easy choice.

Edit: Ignore what I said about Chrono Cross, I was thinking Chrono Trigger.
 
45 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Xbox) If you were a kid of the 80's like me, the music is almost all here, the atmosphere smells like Miami in the 80's. Hell, ya even have Crockett n Tubbs come after you if you get a 3-4 star wanted level.

47 Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (Xbox) The name is a bit misleading, but the game is just phenomal. Personally, I would've loved to be able to completely destroy the game world, take out city blocks by flinging cars, but eh, someone told me you can do this on the PC version. Still, even with that omission, it will eat up alot of your time, as I know it did for me. Great part is, if you're getting trounced, you can charge up your super jump and escape for a bit most times. Definitely lives up to the source material, though I wish they had you do more missions as Mr. Fixit in the game. Also has LOTS of fun mini games, like golf on the prarie.

68 Mech Assault 2 (Xbox) I played the original, most of it within the first night I had it, the second one has its tougher points, but in all reality, it has everything that made the original alot of fun. If you played the original, this is a must play sequel.

139 The Suffering (Xbox) Under rated game, imo, from Midway no less. They created one of the game series I still love to this day in Rampage. I picked this game up on a whim and couldn't put it down. The monsters, will creep you out from the start, giant ogrish lummoxes with guns attached to their backs, imps with needles for eyes, disemboweled hangmen who swoop down from the rafters to seep the life from you and 'swordmen who run on legs of steel blades who want to cut you to ribbons. These are all enemies you will run into in this game and you will relive parts of the backstory in flashbacks that are both haunting and important. Another game that I couldn't stop playing.

116 Silent Hill (PSX) The game that started the phenomenon, creepy monsters abound, darkness prevails and all you have to aid you in seeing the horrors before they attack you is a staticy radio. Use your ammo wisely, as you won't want to have to beat back the evil that comes at you from every crevice. Multiple endings make this game well worth the replays. It includes one of the weirdest endings in gaming history, I think.


117 Silent Hill 2 (Xbox)OK, so this game makes number 6, but I couldn't just put the original Silent Hill on this list without adding the second. Two words for the scariest creature in this game: Pyramid Head!!!! YES, the one from the movie, this guy SCREAMS mega-boss. Avoid his blade at all costs.......just trust me on this.

Don't know if I SHOULD add this or not, but I guess I will. A few hints, but no spoilers for the games.....

Vice City: Save in the 'shack' on the last island for easy access to a virtually limitless supply of uzi/tec 9 ammo right at the bottom of the steps near the shack.

Also, after you get the police outfit in the police station, use it when you want access to a military chopper at the army base 'behind' the airport.

Silent Hill: Once you complete the game once through, go to the options screen and press either L2 or R2 for a 'hidden' options menu, which includes blood color and an ammo multiplier.

These are my selections for the games you should play, I've played them all, loved them all and will definitely be going back through them again sometime soon. I did the 'Brown Thunder' missions in Vice City for about 3-4 hours one night, you fly the military chopper around doing vigilante missions. It makes it WAYYYYY too easy though. I must have 145 million on a game save for the copy I have for PS2.
 
1. Xenogears - you'll probably find no better story in a console game, the music is excellent, characters and mechs well designed, and it's pretty much the only RPG that lets you fight in giant robots. However it is 50ish hours long, a generation old, and the text speed is slow (unless you use gameshark)
2. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (GCN) - I don't really recommend this game too highly, but if I were you I'd just play the Hoth level and be done with it.
3. Zone Of The Enders: The 2nd Runner - great action game, not too long, with the greatest animated intro ever
4. Rez - take your recreational drug of choice first
5. Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night - because after playing the portable ones this will feel like a step backwards.
 
All of the above?

I think maybe you should start with the shorter games first so that you can knock more of those games off your list. Most RPGs are long so I'm gonna ignore those for now...

I recommend these (in no particular order):
Jade Empire (decent RPG, not very long)
Fable (same reason as above)
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (one of the best stealth shooters ever)
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (it's Metal Gear and you just have to play Metal Gear!)
Resident Evil 4 (come on, after hearing all those nice comments and reading those great reviews, you just have to play it)
 
1. Vagrant Story (A MUST)
2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
3. Resident Evil 4
4. Grandia II
5. Star Wars: The Knights of the Old Republic
 
you have an awesome gaming list, i wonder what games you HAVE played :/

shining force ii
final fantasy viii
gta: san andreas
super mario RPG
secret of mana/evermore (both are good)
 
128 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (GCN)
135 Super Mario Sunshine (GCN)
72 Metroid Prime (GCN)
65 Mario Kart: Double Dash (GCN)
138 Tales Of Symphonia (GCN)

In that order. When I first got the GC at the end of 2003 it was the first console I had since my Colecovision. Rogue Leader blew me away - I couldn't believe how amazing it was. I still play it occasionally and I still think it's a great game - probably one of my top 5 this generation across all the GC/PS2 games I've played.

People like to bad mouth SMS, but I liked that alot too - much better than that 64 crap :D.

Metroid Prime is of course a classic, no need for more commentary.

Mario Kart Double Dash is fun and a bit challenging to get through all the races and unlock every character/kart. But it doesn't take too long to do so - probably a fairly short time to completion if you want to knock one game off that list fairly quickly :D.

I haven't played Legendia yet, but I've heard ToS is better.

Just wanted to give you a diverse opinion - I'm one of those wierd people that has absolutely no interest in playing Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, or Resident Evil. I don't care how great the reviews are, I'm simply not interested in those sorts of things. Many of the games on your list are also on mine, so I couldn't add those in (having not played them). The ones I want to get to soon are Disgaea, Final Fantasy X, R&C series, Shadow Hearts series, Shadow of Colossus (I got 3 of them then stopped), DDS 1, Skies of Arcadia, Xenosaga I/II, Stella Deus, Atelier Iris, and many others...
 
20 Disgaea (PS2)
51 Killer 7 (GCN)
89 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS)
106 Shadow Hearts (PS2)
134 Super Mario RPG (SNES)

All amazing games, definitely not to be missed.
 
Wow, the recommendations are really starting to go all over the place now. When I first made the list, I thought RE4 and Castlevania: SOTN would be neck and neck for first place. I haven't done any calculating of the results so far, so those two probably have still received the most votes, but it's nice to see a lot of these other games still have strong followings as well.


Oh, and I'm going to try and post the first prize sometime today. At this point, it just looks like whoever votes will be placed in a random drawing for the prizes. Stay tuned!
 
Final Fantasy X
Metal Gear Solid Subsistence
Resident Evil 4
The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Phoenix Wright


And let me just add that you are a damn fool for not having played those several times over already. Those games, among others that were not listed in my top 5: Metroid Prime, Shadow Hearts, Skies of Arcadia, Eternal Darkness . . ., are easily some of the best games to have come out not only this generation but of all time! I would really like to see the list of games you have been playing just so I know what exactly you've been wasting your time on.

Edit: Sorry if I came off a bit harsh :lol:
 
Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night: Best Castlevania of all time.
Super Mario RPG: Amazing RPG. One of the best on SNES and that's saying a lot.
Resident Evil 4: Can't say to much because a lot was already said about it. But well worth your time.
Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past: One of the greatest games all time
Legend of Zelda Wind Waker: If you can deal with all the sailing, it's a great Zelda game.
Those are my five but you have so many great games on that list. I could make a top 20. I get backlogged all the time and I make sure I play great games before mediocre ones. Some of the games on that list, you MUST play.

"The Top 5 Games I Should Play Before I Buy Another Game"
[/QUOTE]

97 Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (PS2)
123 Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (Xbox)
125 Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic (Xbox)
44 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Xbox)
27 Fable (Xbox)

I can only pick ones I've played. Any on this list would be time very well spent. My reasons:

R&C: Going Commando: IMO, the best of the series, and the best platformer of this generation. You'll spend hours upon hours, and it's damn funny.

Chaos Theory: Best Tom Clancy game yet, IMO.

KOTOR: Wow, I couldn't believe how great this game was. Got to see Star Wars in a totally different light.

San Andreas: Yeah, it's GTA, but it's better. The bicycle nearly makes the game buyable itself. Great soundtrack and voice talent as well.

Fable: (I have TLC) This game was better than I could have imagined. I've spent days playing this game and I'm not done yet.
 
[quote name='shipwreck']Thanks for the comments and votes so far everyone. It's interesting to see that there is some variety in what people are suggesting (probably how I ended up with all those games in the first place).

I found it interesting that xmrblondex decided to point out the ones he thought were stinkers as well, so I figured I'd comment on why I have them.



I'm not a huge strategy gamer either, but I like the occasional strategy game. I liked the art style and always heard good things about this series. I'm pretty sure I picked it up for $10 or less at that big KB Toys clearance last year.



I played a little bit of this at a kiosk one time and liked the sense of humor. I also like shooting a lot of stuff and this one seemed to fit the bill. From the 5 minutes I played it seemed to be somewhat difficult though, so I think that's kept me from playing it. I think I got this one for under $10 as well.



I'm not a PC gamer, so whenever a critically-acclaimed PC series comes to the consoles I generally try to check them out. I know it's not supposed to be as good as the original, but I play a lot of first-person shooters and the variety in this one sounded interesting. I definitely picked this one up for dirt cheap as stores have practically been giving it away for a long time now.



I absolutely loved the first Fear Effect and it was one of my favorite Playstation games. One of my friends in college rented it, I played through it, and then I went out and bought it and played through it again. By the time Fear Effect 2 came out though, I was well into Dreamcast gaming, and I only recently picked this game up at GameRush for $4.



Mrs. shipwreck has actually played through a good bit of this and she kind of had the same reaction. I still liked the artistic style of the game and it just seems like something that I'd be able to just relax and play through. I think I picked this up for around $10 before CAG was a glimmer in Cheapy's eye.



Played a demo of it (maybe in OXM), and I thought it had some pretty impressive graphics. Squad-based games intimidate me for some reason though and I just got behind on the series. I'm sure I spent way to much on this one when it came out.



So, having never played Rainbow Six 3, I thought I'd be able to just jump into this one and play it online when it was the hot game. For whatever reason, (I could probably go back and see what was released at the time) it never happened. I think I got this one for around $15 fairly near launch.



Well, I've beaten God of War and the first Onimusha and I liked the original Rygar back in the day, so this one seemed like a good fit. I think at the time I was slightly concerned that it might be hard to find later down the road. I picked this one up at a Sears clearance for around $8.



I honestly don't know much about this one. I like Yoshi though (I always play as him in all the Nintendo conglomerate games) and I like platformers, so I picked it up. Plus it was only $5 from one of the GameCrazy "Classic Plastic" sales.



Thanks for the suggestions, and believe me, there are much worse games in my collection that I need to get rid of before the ones you suggested. :)[/QUOTE]


Heh, no need to explain yourself, because I have had all of the above (except for yoshi story) and every one except for legend of mana was a CAG-related purchase. You have quite an impressive backlog. My backlog is going on ebay soon, so good for you that you can play them. I'm envious!
 
[quote name='shipwreck']
Oh, and I'm going to try and post the first prize sometime today. At this point, it just looks like whoever votes will be placed in a random drawing for the prizes. Stay tuned![/QUOTE]

There's going to be prizes too!? I totally missed that on the first post, I was probably bugging out on the list of games you haven't played. Do you understand the envy you've created?
 
Techniclly if you just want to play it, open it and play it for a couple of minutes each. Still good luck with that. Good talking with you... see you in a couple of gaming years
 
Okay, I've decided to add a prize a day for everyday in June. Once July 1st hits, I'll randomly draw a user's name and they will win all of the prizes. There will be quite a wide variety of prizes when all is said and done.

Here's what is going to be given away so far (keep in mind the dates are just when the prizes are added, and have nothing to do with when they will be given away). One winner will walk away with all of this:

June 1st: Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks Kung Lao & Liu Kang action figures
June 2nd: Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 (PC) (New & sealed)
June 3rd: PowerStone Strategy Guide
 
[quote name='shipwreck']

5 Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana (PS2)
39 Final Fantasy X (PS2)
55 Legend Of Mana (PSX)
62 Lunar (PSX)
63 Lunar 2 (PSX)
[/quote]

Atelier Iris is probably the game this past year that I enjoyed playing the most. The characters were all loveable and I throughly enjoyed the battle system and gameplay.

FFX is probably the final fantasy I enjoyed the most thus far. I think the ability to change out the character in the battle was what cinched its victory.

Legend of Mana is one of those games that the art style is so beautiful you find yourself enjoying the scenery.

The Lunars are probably the best RPGs I've ever played. The storylines and the gameplay was most enjoyable.
 
My choices, in no particular order (except alphabetical of course):

Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (PSX)
Phantasy Star II (GEN)
Resident Evil 4 (GCN)
Suikoden (PSX)
Xenogears (PSX)

Phtasy Star II is the only RPG I ver played on the Genesis and so it holds a special place in my heart (and it was pretty damn good too!). Besides that one, the rest of these are good for all the reasons mentioned in the past 50+ posts. Now get to work, you've got some gaming to do!
 
this is easy....

Castlevania:SoTN
Phoenix Wright
Metroid Prime
Resident Evil 4
Super Mario RPG

You might as well start off with some of the greatest games of all-time.
 
1. Dark Cloud 2

very underrated RPG; i'm not even a super RPG fan, but i know what i like, and i loved this game...my favorite RPG this gen

2. Oddworld Stranger's Wrath

fun action/adventure type game, very unique, and enough challenge to make it fun without being frustrating

3. Golden Sun

again, i'm not a super RPG nut, but i really liked this game; the graphics for the battles are really good, and it's just a real good traditional RPG with lots of great presentation

4. Maximo Army of Zin

underrated Action game by capcom; brings back the "hardcore" old-school action from years back before games became "too easy" for the "hardcore gamer"; really responsive action and very rewarding when beating levels; not as hard as the first maximo for the ps2, but still challenging and fun; better than the first too

5. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

awesome game (you probably already know this by now from the great reviews) that shouldn't be missed; single player is great, and multiplayer is surprisingly good...hurry up and play online when there are still a moderate amount of players!
 
[quote name='CocheseUGA']Power Stone strategy guide? Holy crap I want this...[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I figured a few people might be interested in it. I'll try and get pictures of the prizes up at some point.

I can't believe more people aren't screaming ADVANCE WARS 2 at you!!
ADVANCE WARS 2 is the best game on that list by miles.

No other game out there has the replay value it has. There is so much to unlock in the game and the play balance can't be beat by any other game either.

Just play it now. Damn waiting on a date to get here. Open the damn gamenow and play it ship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Don't include me in for a prize. I'm just here for good advice.
 
I still laugh at the people who recommend KOTOR. I bought it on a whim on Friday night to use up some credit I had left at EB.

I may well take it back, so I can buy something I'll at least play. The whole mix of action and turn based kind of turned me off.

I'd rather aim and fire my own laser pistol or use my own 'vibrasword' or whatever weapon it is they gave you.
