What Are Your Five Favourite Games Of All Time?

The latest thing doing the rounds of Twitter this morning is a good bit of fun: people are talking about their five favourite games of all time.

It’s always fun to see what strikes a chord amongst different people, especially there’s always one or two surprises here or there that leave a mark. Some are obvious: Mark loves Dark Souls. Amanda really loves Rollercoaster Tycoon, which makes sense for someone who tried as hard as they could to murder people in Planet Coaster.

For myself, Counter-Strike is a given. But Uncharted 2 is still comfortably in my top five – top three, really – games of all time, even though I’m not a huge fan of the rest of the series so far. I always took UC2 as the kind of flick that Indiana Jones: Legend of the Crystal Skull should have been, and I’ll always have a special place in my heart for StarCraft. Even though my wrists won’t feel the same way.

Cam and Hayley both loved Dead Space, and Knights of the Old Republic got mentioned a few times as well. Gizmodo’s Rae brought up Daytona USA – arcade edition only, of course – while Tegan couldn’t go past Age of Empires and, for true nostalgia, Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

Those weren’t the only games everyone mentioned, of course, but I’m sure there’s a few favourites for readers above. But what about yourself? What are your five favourite games of all time?
