DDD's Favourite Video Games

Hopefully, this will work. Let's see

OK, so similar to the movies or music lists, everyone submit their top top 25 and I'll total them all up. I decided to do top 25 as video games are generally a lot longer than movies and music so people don't play as many.

Would be good to see how the list turns out.

Not set a deadline yet, we'll see how it goes first.

Don't forget, like the movies and music lists, you can make recommendations, but if so it would best to recommend old games you can get on emulators.

Great lists so far.

Baldur's Gate is one series I've been meaning to play for a very long time.

My list probably won't be anywhere as interesting as Piper's, but I've had a think about it and a sketchy top 5 for me so far would be:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
2. Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
3. Portal 2 (360)
4. Pokemon Black & White (DS)
5. Chrono Trigger (SNES)
