✧ Favorite Games of All Time ✧

So for the lack of a better post, I'm making another list! This time featuring 5 games that I absolutely adore and will play over and over.
(Okay I tried for 5 but it didn't work haha)

No. 7 - BioShock
Probably the only game that truly surprised me with its ending.
Also, the whole idea of it is so out there, I love it.
I haven't replayed it yet, but I'm going to soon.

No. 6 - SSX3
I got this game not long after I got my PS2 and I played this game, ALL THE TIME.
It's just so fun, and I liked buying different outfits for the characters. Though I never played as any guys haha.
But my favorite character was Kaori because she was adorable, and had the cutest outfits! (which makes sense, since she is Japanese)

No. 5 - Beyond Good & Evil
Another game I loved, that I'm pretty sure took me a while to finish, just because I was like 10 or 12, and it was actually pretty challenging. I really liked the whole "taking photos" part of it, and I thought that was something different, since all I really played was Pokemon, KH, FF, etc.
I'm really excited about the HD remake, but I haven't had a chance to download it on my Xbox.
I really love Jade, and her green lipstick. (seriously, I used to want it)

No. 4 - Assassin's Creed
Okay, I love all the AC games, but Brotherhood is definitely top because Ezio is my favorite, and he was pretty great in this one. I was sad by how short it was (along with Revelations) but there's nothing I can do about that, I guess haha.
AC3 is definitely really close to this one in my favorites.

No. 3 - Pokemon
Obviously, I love Pokemon - but Crystal is definitely my #1 in the series.
I really, really, REALLY wish it had gotten a remake with HeartGold and SoulSilver just because I no longer have this game or my GameBoy Color (it was stolen out of my parents' car and this game was in it)
I love the starters (Totodile was my favorite for a long time) and Suicune is my favorite legendary.
Plus this was the first game you could choose a female character and I thought she was awesome.
Oh and the fact that you could go back to Kanto? Beautiful. I wish they had kept that in some of the future games. (that would definitely make getting every Pokemon in your Pokedex A LOT easier)

No. 2 - Final Fantasy
My first FF game ever, was X. And it is still my favorite to this very day. I can actually quote some of the lines in it. I honestly probably never would have played this if it weren't for the No. 1 game on my list, and this is why it is No. 2 because they're really about equal.
Yeah, Tidus is kind of dumb as hell but that's not all there is to this game. I love the entire story line, the characters, the music, the world, everything.
Nothing will stop this game from being one of my top favorites.
(unless I actually get around to playing VII, but X will still be special)

No. 1 - Kingdom Hearts
This game was my "gateway" game. Pretty sure, it was my first "true" RPG, as my PS2 was my first console aside from handhelds, and it introduced me to FFX (Tidus was on Destiny Islands, and my friend and I thought his pants were ridiculous, so while reading the log where it says the original game he's from, I was like "hm, I should play this and find out why his outfit is so absurd" - thus my obsession began)
I honestly didn't really care about what I was doing in games before this one. I ran around doing whatever I was supposed to do, not bothering with side stuff (though this didn't have much side stuff going on). I dunno, after this game, I started playing all others differently, I paid attention more I guess.
But god, this story is amazing, and playing all the others and seeing how everything ties together just blows my mind.
Honestly, this is the only game series that I would go out and buy a new system for.
Oh, Birth by Sleep is on PSP? Let me just go get one.
Oh now KH3D is on the 3DS? Lemme get one of those too.
And if KH3 is ever released, and it's exclusive to the PS3? Well guess what, it looks like I'll be buying one of those as well.
Like seriously, no other game is as close to my heart as this one is, and I can't even really explain why. I love everything about it.
Oh, and KH2 or BBS are my tops in the series.


I hope you all enjoyed my list!
What are your favorite games of all time?
