I couldn't list them! But here are my fav 10:
-Unreal Tournament
-Unreal Tournament 2004
-Thief
-Thief II
-Age of Empires
-Age of Empires II
-Diablo II
-Daggerfall
-Morrowind
-Gothic
Okay I'll try to list them!
1. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
2. Unreal Tournament
3. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (with The Conquerors expansion)
4. Gothic
5. The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
6. Age of Empires
7. Unreal Tournament 2004
8. Thief II: The Metal Age
9. Diablo II (With Lord of Desctruction expansion)
10. Thief: The Dark Project
Hard to list them. They're all truly spectacular games, pinnacles of their genre and deserved of the highest positions in the annals of game fame. Half-Life: Opposing Force almost gets on there, but not quite; perhaps HL2 would when it's released, and Thief III also, and maybe Gothic II when I play it, but I'm being fair and only listing ones I've played.
I will add that it beats me how people can possibly put arcade games like Mario on their top 10 lists. Games are rather like movies for me, they have to have true atmosphere, be engrossing and very fun at the same time. But each to their own
.
Heh, it's also tough not to put classics like Ultima Underworld and UU II on the list. Those were the first simulated 3d fatnasy adventure RPGs, and truly amazing games they were! Deus Ex is also a
really close contender, probaly number 11 or 12. Great game that!
