Top 10 (or 20 or 30) games for each system
FritzWhite:
I've heard enough good things about Dark Souls by now to put it on the 'to pickup' list. I have a couple friends that have sunk hundreds of hours into it. I heard it's hard and you have to start all over if you die.
edit: sunk not sank. say it 5x fast

it's hard, but mostly it's just different. you need to approach it completely different from a modern AAA game because there's no overworld map, questmarkers, compasses or tutorial messages (mostly) to tell you what to do or how to do it. they basically just drop you off in this branching world and don't tell you were to go, letting you make your own decisions and explore and learn and fight on your own. and dying just brings you back to the last spawn point because you're an undead in this game and dying is an integral part of the experience that you can't avoid. they don't tell you flat out about new sorts of traps or enemies either, more likely you have to see the signs beforehand and move and explore cautiously. if you have the time and patience for that sort of thing it is unparallelled. and every time you die you either learn something completely new or you're (hopefully) reminded about something in your arsenal you need to utilize to get over that hurdle. like how i kept being blocked and killed by a heavy knightguy and once i remembered i could grab my sword with both hands and just bash through his guard it became a breeze. takes some learning, but it was the most immersed i've been in a game in probably a decade.

I could easily make my favorite PS1 list 50+ games. Considering that, Lunar SSS is still pretty high.

Making a top 10, from better to worst or vice versa is difficult for me, because I am indecisive in that way. Each game I have enjoyed for different reasons, so here is a list in no particular order.
1) Resident Evil: Remake.
2) Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
3) Earthbound
4) Final Fantasy VI
5) Clock Tower 3
6) Super Mario 64
7) Shenmue
8) Conker's BFD/Live and Reloaded
9) Ultima VII
10) Oddworld (Series)

It's actually just an "OK" game in my opinion... I've beat Demon's Souls on PS3 and almost beat Dark Souls on 360 and finally just got so tired of it that I quit playing it. The multiplayer is freaking stupid on both games. It's like no matter how strong you are, your still not strong enough. I don't mind dying a few times here and there, but when I have to level grind 30 hours just to beat a boss that's to much, I got a lot better things to do. Finally after I beat the boss, I'm so pissed off by that point I don't feel any accomplishment.
If you want a great game, look into Dragon's Dogma. Now that is a freaking awesome game.
But what do I know, you may end up loving Dark Souls.
