Until 15Sep2007 when my greedy, grubby hands get a copy of Halo 3, Halo 2 will reign supreme in my eyes. Generally I prefer multiplayer games to begin with, and then I seem to enjoy games where I can embarass or be embarassed by my friends. Halo 2 is, simply, the best shooter out there for multiplayer mayhem!

Ahhh, World of Warcraft. This game wins the award for "Game I most hate to love". Possibly also the award for "Game I'm most likely to get served divorce papers due to". No matter, this is the Master of all MMORPGs for a reason. Blizzard continues to prove they know what gamers like.

The original... the classic... the mother of that all hallowed gaming series. Even if you bit into Halo 2 first, the original Halo is well worth the money.

A puzzle game. An addiction. A thumb-numbing experience. Lumines Live! is far superior (in my opinion) to the original PSP version. The variation in tile sets and game play is fantastic. Now if they'd just come out with more downloadable content...

As with Lumines Live!, Zuma has consumed a great deal of my hours. These two games combine to fully prove to me the value of XBL Arcade. If you haven't tried it, you seriously are missing out!

Still a classic example of Bioware's RPG prowess. However, Mass Effect will likely replace BG2 as the penultimate Bioware gaming experience.

How can this not be on everyone's list? SMB needs no explanation!

The most balanced and entertaining RTS of it's time. Weekly unit downloads? Where oh where did Cavedog go?!

Some features of DAoC still make me want for my account back. Critical failures in crafting? RvR Instances (Darkness Falls). Delicious!

The granddaddy of MMOs! This is the first thing many of us long-time MUDders decided was more worth our time. A graphical MUD (*grin*). Beautiful!

Something about being a learned bombadier being flown by a seasoned pilot... such a fun game. My only regret is that Tribes completely spoiled me, and made PlanetSide suck by comparison. If only it had been similar (PS, not Tribes).
