Oh, sorry misunderstood. Yeah I haven't played any personally so I can't really comment on the quality. But from what I remember, there are ports of Warrior Within and The Two Thrones that go by the names Revelations (I think?) and Rival Swords.
.
I'll go with Rival Swords. Cheers mate. I'm not expecting great things from it to be honest, but for £1.79 I'm sure I'll get a cracking game.

It would be far more interesting to know how many people matched from their top 20 to the top 50 total than to how many you've played as accessibility means shit all. I got 8/20.

I only got Half Life 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Golden Eye 007, Final Fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid, KOTOR, Bioshock, Vice City

Crash Team Racing, Mario Galaxy 2, Company of Heroes, Resident Evil 4, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Unreal Tournament 04, Chrono Cross, Skies of Arcadia, Doom, Portal and Tomb Raider didn't make the top 50.

Can't believe a Resident Evil game didn't make top 50!
RE3 just missed out with 53 points.

54th with 50 points ;)
You said Crash Team Racing was 54th. You're making this shit up aren't you!

Right, that's it, you're going to get a knuckle sandwich and I don't mean a sandwich with some knuckles in it. Well, I do actually, well no... well you're going to get a smash in the chops and no questions answered anyway!
Get a Wii U and Super Smash Bros and you can smash me as much as you want come November. Or, get it for 3DS because I'll have my own in a few weeks again :)

The lucky number 13:

1. Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic
2. Final Fantasy VII
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Half Life 2
5. Deus Ex
6. BioShock
7. Mass Effect
8. Final Fantasy IX
9. Half Life
10. Age of Empires 2
11. Dragon Age: Origins
12. Football Manager 2012
13. Final Fantasy VI

Kotor 2, Chrono Trigger, The Walking Dead, BioShock Infinite, Planescape Torment, Pro Evolution Soccer 5 and System Shock 2 didn't make the list. Chrono Trigger, Planescape and System Shock 2 not making the list should make the entire process void.

I'd probably be more likely to get the 3DS version at the moment. If I get either version at all that is.

Super Metroid 49
Don't worry dear Metroid, I shall always love you.

Played 33 of them, i think the replays of certain games on the list would take it to near 100. I didn't do much except play video games in my last couple of years at school. Really bad.

Where did Suikoden and Suikoden 2 come in, with their 14, and 15 points respectively?
Can't tell now I'm afraid, switched to laptop off for the night and off to bed. Will try and post the full 500+ list at weekend if I get time though so you can all check it out.

See your much closer in line than I am, and yours are mostly high ranking too.

I said this in the nominations thread but I never got into Chrono Trigger but absolutely love Chrono Cross.

I think it's more that I came to it in more recent years long after completing CC and the FFs multiple times.

I probably need to give it another go. How would you compare the two? I know Trigger is almost unanimously considered the better game.

For some reason I always feel bad for Olly. Like I want to waste my student money buying him games rather than waste them on myself. It's not like he's some pauper he just spends money on metal detectors and goes on digging expeditions to try and find old retro gaming treasure.

Surprised at many of the entries, my taste in games must be quite different to most people's... I never played Last Of Us, is it that good to be top 3? And Star Wars... are they very good? Shocked Arkham Asylum didn't hit the list, neither did Sonic 2...

16 on the list... if I don't count Final Fantasy VIII which I tried but didn't play for more than 30 minutes. And I have no idea which Mario game I played so I didn't count any of those either. I never liked platform games though.

Don't know anyone except Alock who has.

Wasn't it universally panned, or at least by comparison to Trigger?
Nah, it had 90+/100 ratings which is extremely good, but apparently it wasn't that good as Chrono Trigger (who usually is regarded as best or second best RPG ever). I think that it was criticized for being overcomplicated though (had around 50 companions or so). I am planning to give it a try but too many games and not many free time.

Hmmmm, I dunno where I got the panned idea from. Though I love it, I couldn't imagine Trigger being the 2nd best RPG ever either.

I'll have to give it a shot sometime.

Cina has played it, he might be the only other person though.

It had a brilliant soundtrack Earthquake, I know that means a lot to you.

Watch the opening at least, @Revan @Earthquake



It's an awesome game!

He liked FFXII, he doesn't count.

Absolutely, a huge bonus for sports/racers, highly important for most other genres, but utterly vital for RPG's.

:drool: That's the stuff, found this one too as I followed the Youtube chain....

It really is brilliant EQ, one of the best games I've played for sure.

Have you guys played Skies of Arcadia? I think I was the only person to put that in my list too.

Shame, because it also has awesome music. Earthquake, you might recognise the song below from Sonic Transformed.

No, Skies of Arcadia is another one I missed out on first time around(actually got quite the list of old RPG's I need to play, or go back and finish playing).

I definitely remember that song!

I haven't played Chrono Trigger or Cross. The GAFtards beat off to those games relentlessly.

Xenoblade and Xenogears likewise.

I've played 33 of the top 50, not bad.

And yes, Chrono Cross is amazing.

Also, the f*ck, no Chrono Trigger in the top 50?

They have some strange ideas over there. Quite a few of them call Nier their favourite game of the last generation.
