Pick ten 10's.

[Mayhem]

The SNES/SFC version of Area 88/UN Squadron is a bit of a different beast from the original coin-op though... and much better for it in my eyes too.

[nakamura]

That said, as much as I love Un Squadron, I wouldn't score it a 10 due to the punishing difficulty if I was reviewing it.

['Press Start']

All this talk of UN squadron made me listen to this:-


I listened to the Mickey: Castle of Illusion first stage music too. It's impossible not to smile whilst listening 'If your a fan of the game'

Next time I have time to kill I am going to edit my ten with you tube vids. Would love to see others do the same.

This is especially tough.

For me I think the games that at the time absolutely blew my mind and personallly stood out from their peers are the ones closest to the "10" although I don't think they all are technically perfect & will have some faults.

No Doubt I've forgotten some brilliant games, but off the top of my head:

Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime
Halo
Rainbow Six Vegas
SOCOM
FF VII
Front Mission III
Gran Turismo
Uncharted 2

Unlucky not to make the cut:

Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect
Assassin's Creed II
Suikoden II
Final Fantasy Tactics
Disgaea
Metroid Fusion

How could I have forgotten MGS3 and MGS4!

DOH!!!

[Kit]

In no particular order:

Final Fantasy VII
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Mario 64
Resident Evil 1 & 2
Shenmue 1 & 2
Metal Gear Solid
Gran Turismo
ISS Pro Evolution
Goldeneye
Half Life 2

9. When my brother and I got a NTSC-US Dreamcast, the system came with a demo disc which had a Sonic Adventure Demo and a Powerstone Demo. Between the 2 of us, we played the londo stage demo at least 1000 times! This is still my favourite Dreamcast game. I cannot believe Capcom have not released it on Live and PSN yet!

I really need to pick up Power Stone. It looks so much fun - in a similar way to Smash Bros.

For multiplayer antics Power Stone 2 is leagues better than the first game. It's one of the best 4 player single screen games I've ever played.

[Captain LeChuck]

Ok, here's my list:

The Last Ninja 2 (C64)
Frontier: Elite II
The Secret of Monkey Island II: LeChuck's Revege
Wing Commander III (PC - possible case of rose-tinted glasses with this one, but for its time...)
Super Mariokart
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (should get a 10 for the soundtrack alone)
Metal Gear Solid 3 (this was the game of the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation)
Mass Effect 2
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Planescape: Torment

[speedlolita]

How could I have forgotten MGS3 and MGS4!

DOH!!!

It's really hard compiling a 10s list I think. MGS4 and 3 are fantastic but I'll always favour the first one as it was indeed that.

[H-Man]

Secret of Mana
FF6
Mario 64
Golden Eye
Perfect Dark
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (PC multiplayer)
Street Fighter 2
Super Mario World
Rez
WWF No Mercy

So, how about we pick each other's tens and argue which does or doesn't deserve a ten?

I'll start: Final Fantasy VIII, how can anyone pick VIII over VI, VII or IX? You are wrong people! Wrong I tell you!!

Who's next?

[Captain LeChuck]

Any wrestling game. I mean, come on, be serious.

[Guts]

How appropriate sir, you fight like a cow.

Because it did everything better than the others before it. Music was better. Battle system was excellent. Junction was superb. Card game was amazing in its own right. Graphics were outstanding. Plot was good, a little angsty but Squall is no more a whinging **** than Cloud.

VII is brilliant but overrated, it's a 9. It is only regarded so high because it was many peoples first entry into the series. It suffers from shocking translation, inconsistant graphics regarding the character models and some very poor sounding music.

I've completed VIII, VII and IX around 5 times each. I've grown to appreciate that VIII is my favourite. Problem?
