Top 5 Favorite Video Games

[Someone who does Something]

Update:

Borderlands took everything Fallout 3, New Vegus and Half-Life 2 were and made them even better. Borderlands did everything perfect, sure, the story was lacking, but everything else makes up for that.

1. Borderlands

Bioshock was awesome and mind-blowing when it came out, and I still feel the same way 3 years. There is nothing wrong about this game. NOTHING.

2. Bioshock

Portal was a very good game, smooth controls, great atmosphere and over all great gameplay, with a good story. Then they made Portal 2, which took everything and made it better 10x, the story was better, the gameplay was better, warp that up with a fantastic co-op experince and you have yourself a winner.

3. Portal 2

I love Doug TenNapel as you could probaly tell form my thoughts on Skullmonkeys. EWJ was a great game, and was even better on the Sega CD, but
EWJ2 just had more to offer: More levels, more gameplay, it was just better.

4. Earthworm Jim 2

This was one of the first PS1 games I had play, and everything was just right about this game, the music, the gameplay and the humor.
I salute you Doug TenNapel, for making this masterpiece.

5. Skullmonkeys

Sadly, Doug TenNapel ruined Earthworm Jim for me.

What do you mean by that?

He's got a webcomic, Ratfist where he goes crazy conservative.  I don't mind politics in my comics, everyone's got their opinion, and I can usually just agree to disagree.  The plot for his comic though-  liberals are comically evil, stifling creativity to the point where there's a cure for cancer, but because of BIG GOVERNMENT it was never found.  I like satire, but I don't like LIBERALS LIBERALS LIBERALS rants.

He also went on a rant about gays and gay marriage awhile back, which he apparently took down.

Here's an update.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Even though this list is not numbered, I would go as far as to say that this is my favorite game of all-time. I remember getting this game for my birthday in 1997, and I was blown away by this game; the graphics were a joy to look at; the music was, and still is, great. I also enjoy collecting the DK coins. All in all, this game is a blast to play.

Mega Man 7

This game will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first Mega Man game. Since then, I have gotten into the Mega Man X games, Mega Man Legends 2, Battle Network, and a few of the Mega Man Zero games.

The game itself is still a ton of fun. I don't mind Mega Man being a little on the big side (at least in comparison to X), and I like the colorful graphics. I also enjoy the music (the opening stage, Freeze Man, the hatches, and the ending music being my favorites). I'm also happy that they had the debut of Bass and Treble.

Turtles in Time

I can't believe I forgot this game. This game was so much fun back in the day, and it's still really fun. I love the fact that you can throw the Foot Ninjas into the screen--that even comes into play during a boss fight with the Shredder. The music is also really good.

Final Fight 3

This game is the best Final Fight in the series, and I was happy to play as Guy again--my favorite character. The inclusion of Dean and Lucia was a welcome addition, and I think they were fun to play as. The music is good. I also really enjoy the fact that there are branching paths, which does give this game some replay value.

Batman Returns (SNES)

This game is another fun Beat 'Em Up, and it stars my favorite DC superhero. The game does give a good amount of moves at your disposal--you can grab an enemy and headbutt them, I believe, and you can also throw them against the wall/window; you can also slam them down with authority. All of his moves are very satisfying to pull off. The game follows the movie as close as possible, and I like the fact that you have a level or two in the Batmobile.

All of these games are nostalgic, yes, but they're also games that I can definitely go back and enjoy them as much as I did back then, and I think that's the most important thing.
