Final Fantasy X – Squaresoft – PS2 – 2002 I remember the day I bought Final Fantasy X. It was 2003 and the big present the Christmas before had been a Playstation 2 (quite possibly the single greatest present I have ever received in my life, thanks Mum and Dad!). It was a month or … Continue reading
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty – Kojima Productions – PS2, PS3, PSVita, Xbox, 360 – 2001 Throughout the months I have been writing the posts in my biggest Best Of list to date there have been a few phrases I have used to describe multiple games.

Final Fantasy IX – Squaresoft – PS1 – 2001 The final few games of my list, but is this really the ‘Final’ Fantasy?

SSX3 – EA Sports BIG – PS2, Xbox, GC, GBA – 2003 Going into the final stretch of these articles there was one game I was really worried about writing about for numerous reasons.

The story of Ethan Mars looking for his missing son is heartbreaking in a way that no other game is. Part adventure … Continue reading
20) Dark Chronicle – Level-5 – 2003 – PS2 The sequel to one of the first games for the PS2, Dark Chronicle is a superb RPG. Much like Persona 3, this game is split in two distinct gameplay styles. One has you playing through real time action RPG style dungeons, while the other has you … Continue reading
25) The Sims 3 – Maxis – 2009 – PC There’s no game quite like The Sims, and I have lost hundreds of hours managing houses full of Sims. I’ve mostly played the original game, and its many expansions, but I opted for the superior third iteration which is the best way to experience the … Continue reading
Super Mario Galaxy – Nintendo – 2007 – Wii A distinct change for number 6 on our list, Mario had to be here sooner or later. The plumber has been the best in his genre ever since his debut in Donkey Kong and while there have been a few hiccups along the way, his back … Continue reading
