My top 50 Favorite Videogames of All Time.

I know I don’t talk usually talk about pop culture on this blog, but for those who do not know I grew up in the 90’s on videogames and comic books with Cal Watts. Though I’m less of a hardcore fanboy these days, I do still check out nerd culture from time to time and still pick up the occasional trade paperback or video game.

Recently, Game Mess Decide‘s Jeff Grub and Mike Minotti decided to produce their top 100 list of favorite video games. As a fun thought experiment, I decided to do my top 50 and figured i’d share it with you guys (because what could go wrong?).

A few notes on my list:

• Most of my video game experience was spent on the following systems: SNES, Dreamcast, PS2, and PS4.
• The top 3 are ultimately my top 3. It will be hard for anything to move them, I imagine, for some time.
• Outside the top 10, things can start to get reordered just about any particular way depending on my mood.
• I should add remakes and remasters are listed. Unless noted, I am referring to the original game.
• I added platform available and genre for each game, for those looking for something new to play.

Some hard omissions: Persona 5, Parasite Eve 2, Battle Toads / Double Dragon, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s kong Quest, Horizon Zero Dawn, and World of Warcraft.
