This is something I think I've been doing and updating since like 2006, sort of become an odd motivation to play new games. I know we all can't help but discuss our "Top Final Fantasy...this" here so I figured I'd post this to see if it spurs some more general thought around your own favorite games. (I'd be interested to see some people's Top 10's)

Disclaimer: When one game makes it above another in this list, it's not me saying it's a better game than the one below, they are in order of how much I personally liked, or enjoyed them.

I find it incredibly hard to pick a favourite game anymore. It's quite easy to number everything up to the top 10, but after that things get mucky Still, we'll give it a go.

50 - Persona 2: Innocent Sin
49 - BioShock 2
48 - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
47 - Final Fantasy XI
46 - Sam & Max Hit The Road
45 - World of Warcraft
44 - Metal Gear Solid 2
43 - Final Fantasy III (DS)
42 - Dead Space
41 - Knights of the Old Republic

40 - Final Fantasy IV (DS)
39 - Mass Effect
38 - Fallout 3
37 - XCOM: Enemy Unknown
36 - Deus Ex: Human Revolution
35 - Dragon Age II
34 - Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
33 - Xenosaga Episode I
32 - Final Fantasy Tactics
31 - Knights of the Old Republic 2

30 - Kingdom Hearts II
29 - Final Fantasy VII
28 - Dead Space 2
27 - Red Dead Redemption
26 - Mass Effect 3
25 - Saints Row The Third
24 - Half Life 2
23 - Silent Hill
22 - Fallout New Vegas
21 - Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga

20 - Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword
19 - The Legacy of Kain: Defiance
18 - Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
17 - Shining Force II
16 - Silent Hill III
15 - The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
14 - BioShock Infinite
13 - Alan Wake
12 - Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of Time
11 - Xenosaga Episode III

10 - The Walking Dead
09 - Phantasy Star IV
08 - Mass Effect 2
07 - Final Fantasy VI
06 - Silent Hill 2
05 - Persona 3 Portable
04 - Parasite Eve
03 - The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2
02 - The Longest Journey
01 - Persona 4 The Golden

There was a lot of stuff I wanted to include that I just couldn't find time for, like the first three Growlansers, Persona 2 EP, GTa Vice City, more fighting games (not getting Garou and Skullgirls on there hurts), and a lot of others. I'm also a forgetful person, even of things I love, so there's probably a few games missing from the list that should sincerely be on there that I just can't think of right now. But here's the list, as it is for now. It took a lot of willpower not to put Saints Row IV and Final Fantasy XIV on them, but both just came out and one's an MMO, so I think they need more time before making the list.

Yeah I still cheat a bit on my list, I mean putting the Super Star Wars and Mass Effect Trilogies together, it was kind of one game experience that I just meld into one spot on the list.

Also things like including THPS2, but I could have easily thrown in THPS, THPS3, and THPS4...but the list would start to look ridiculous cause so many of my favorite games were yearly hockey releases as well. Either way, awesome that people here are posting their entire 50 as well! neat to see.
