It is difficult to come up with a top 10 list of anything.
For a start no two people will agree on these things. With video games there are so many it is impossible that everyone will have played all the best games.
I also find that my list changes over time, a lot of the time depending on mood.
Then, what does it mean to say best – how are you judging? With games, best gameplay, best graphics or most ground breaking. Most lists are a combination of these.
So instead of going for best – I’ll go for my favourite right now at this moment in time. The list is pretty nostalgic and I guess is in order of my attachment to them. It might be different this time next year.
Here is 20 while I’m at it. I did not give great thought to the order, particularly as I went further down.
The only series to appear twice are Zelda and Halo. In general I just went for my favourite in a series.
