Mirror's Edge - No game has ever felt this good to me. Amazing controls, once mastered, and gorgeous art design along with soundtrack make for a masterpiece of a game. Journey - The video game equivalent of fantasia. A wordless but emotional orchestrated tale that is shared between you and other players, with a beautiful world to boot. Vanquish - Stylish action at it's finest. Once the slowmo in this game is mastered the game flow is incredibly satisfying and looks cool as shit. Also crazy boss battles, space russians, and everything that platinum is best at.

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood - I had never played an open world game before this, I was hooked for 3 months. The great cast of characters, intricate story, and satisfying (albeit silly) combat combined with the great multiplayer made this an obsession for me.

Dragon's Dogma - This is the best flawed gem I have ever played. Sure there are vast swaths of empty land to traverse and maybe your party members are chatterboxes but by god this game may has the best melee combat I have ever seen.

Also dat title music. Dissidia Final Fantasy - If virtual on and smash brothers had a baby is would be dissidia. The awesome fan service and unique combat in this game really make it stand out along with its memorable soundtrack. It also helps that there was nothing else on the psp worth a damn.

Noby Noby Boy - I can't tell you what exactly it is about this game that makes me love it so much. This game is almost therapeutic to me, the relaxing music, the clean simple visuals, wrapping yourself around a donut cloud and the window of a house, or just leaving the controller down and letting boy walk around on his own. The multiyear Girl planetary expedition also helped a ton. Skull Girls - I never liked 2D fighters before this game.

Growing up with Soul Calibur and DOA the restricted play style of street fighter and MK never really appealed to me, it wasn't until skulllgirls' fast paced stylish combat that I truly appreciated the genre. The animation is amazing and the cast of fighters is superb. Music is awesome too. 3D Dot Game Heroes - Yeah sure, it's basically zelda, but ya know what, it sounds great and it looks great and it plays great so shut yer yap. Minecraft - I played this for about a year when it was in beta with my friends.

We all played on the same server and we all contributed to a city that we built together. Eventually I started building my own city secretly from my other friends by hollowing out a mountain and building inside of it, this then became the new city. After that though we found out how to spawn portable tnt explosion entities with console commands and we crashed the server at least once a week.

Honorable mentions - Super smash brothers brawl, Catherine, Valkyria chronicles, DmC, Portal. The Last of Us - Favorite story in a game ever. Dishonored - Stealth + Superpowers Bayonetta - Fluid character action and pure insanity. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - The best playing Metal Gear that made me want to try all the weird ways to complete missions. Dead Space 2 - The sweet spot between horror and action in a franchise I loved. Rock Band 3 - The ultimate version of the game that got me to learn to play drums.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag: It's Assassin's Creed, but also pirates. Dark Souls - My introduction to the series, and the one that felt most triumphant to beat. Persona 3 Portable - first Persona game I beat. Sucked 100+ hours out of my life. Overwatch- The most addicted I've been to a shooter since Halo 2. Possible 2017 contenders: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Resident Evil VII, Persona 5 (it's been a good year). I'm not going to research release dates, I'm about to go to bed so hey, if I pick a game from 2005, so be it.

And aside from the number 1 game the order is nothing specific, just what order they came to mind. But number 1 is absolutely, without hesitation, number 1 from the past decade. • & all the expansions (technically haven't played Monks & Mystics yet but you get the idea). I've loved Paradox grand strategy games since Hearts of Iron 2 came out (and I'd actually played EU2 a few years before, though it didn't really make much sense to, I couldn't wrap my head around it being real time, and also it just seemed to involve far more patience than I was used to from strategy games. Anyway, I've since loved almost everything Paradox in-house game aside from Sengoku (even EU: Rome, despite its deep flaws), and CK2 brilliant mixes the gameplay with a roleplaying aspect. It's wonderful. The boss fight at the end was dumb, ME3 had better gameplay, but as a complete package, plot, gameplay etc, ME2 was absolutely fantastic all around.
