Well, I too have jumped on the train started by DarkJak ([link] ) and used his template to provide a list of what I consider the top 10 video games. Here's the breakdown:

- Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game for taking the series down a darker, more emotional path rather than the standard pattern the games follow.

- SOTC is a pinnacle of minimalist gaming; telling a moving story with few elements but making those present (mainly the fights against the colossi) engaging and intense.

- Psychonauts is just pure fun, a wonderfully bizarre piece from master Tim Schafer

- Thousand Year Door, Sly 2, DAH 2, and Banjo-Tooie all successfully expanded on the groundwork set by their predecessors to create greater experiences.

- Okami has a common gameplay style, but the story, visuals, and characters elevate it to a higher level.

- Mass Effect was a sci-fi masterpiece. A gripping story and memorable characters highlighted one of the best RPGs ever. Bioware set a new standard of excellence with this game.

- Big fan of Douglas Adams, and the point-and-click adventure he created perfectly reflects his inimitable sense of humor.

Quite a few had to make the cut, and I was considering posting this twice for a top 20 instead, but I didn't want to cheat. So instead I will list them here just for completion's sake

- Earthbound
- Grim Fandango
- Beyond Good and Evil
- Sonic and Knuckles
- Sam and Max Save the World
- Twilight Princess
- Portal
- Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
- Bioshock
- Donkey Kong Country 3
