1. Tetris Effect Connected
2. Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic 2, Frontiers, Mania
3. Ori Will of the Wisps /Blind Forest
4. Gears 5 (it's my most played game ever)
5. Lost Odyssey/breath of fire 4
6. Witcher 3
7. Blazblue Chrono Phantasma Extend/Guilty Gear Accent Core +R/Street Fighter 6 beta
8. Elden Ring/Sekiro
9. Gunbird/Gunbird 2/ Mushimesama Futari 1.5, deathsmiles, akai Katana, bullet soul infinite burst, dondonpachi resurrection.
10. Halo Infinite (my most played halo ever, post launch support has left a lot to be desired though)

I cheated quite a lot, but I just couldn't condense the list and feel like I missed/forgot other games I absolutely love.

but sometimes my mood shifts on games and what I favour at the time.

I feel like sea of thieves should be on the list somewhere, but it is a game I don't have the time I wish I had for it.

This is an impossible question.

(Work in progress, I will probably disagree with this list in 10 minutes)

1. The Secret of Monkey Island
2. Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge
3. Dark Souls
4. DooM
5. Quake
6. The King of Fighters '97
7. Turrican
8. Dune
9. Chrono Trigger
10. Final Fantasy VII

I feel dirty in leaving out things like Age of Empires, The Witcher, NOLF, Baldur's Gate, Half-Life 1...

Very difficult!

Metal Gear (MSX2, 1987)

An entry for the whole franchise in a way, but the first game is very special for me.

Maze of Galious (MSX, 1987)

This was my Zelda, only it's a lot better than Zelda :)

Silent Hill (PSOne, 1999)

This game simply blew me away when it was just released.

Civilization (PC, 1991)

This fucking game together with...

SimCity 2000 (PC, 1993)

...really messed up my first attempt at getting a higher eductation :D

Loom (PC, 1990)

I loved all the 2D LucasArts adventures, Monkey Island was probably the best and I even liked The Dig a lot, but Loom is special as it was the first I played.

Command & Conquer (PC, 1995)

Could have put Dune II here, but the jump to CD based media had a huge impact and I remember this game as an epic event in my life ;)

Suikoden (PSOne, 1995)

This game reignated my love for console gaming after being almost PC exclusive for the first part of the 90s. This and Final Fantasy VII are my top tier JRPGs from that time.

Dragon Quest VIII (PS2, 2004)

Holy shit what a great game.

Death Stranding (PS4, 2019)

I love you Kojima.

Resi 7 would easily be replaced by either Bioshock or Fallout 3 if it didn't have that amazing VR-version. Experiencing that game in VR from start to finish over the course of two nights was simply mindblowing.

I know this is a top 10 ever, but the order of most of these swaps nearly every day. I’ve been gaming for over 30 years and started with the NES, and like many of you these games have very fond memories around them. And yes, there’s a lot of Mario.

10. Deadly Premonition

This game had no right to make me fall in love with it. Truly more than the sum of its parts, it’s the closest we will ever be to Twin Peaks: The Game. The story is amazing, the music tracks all at various volumes, and the voice acting and gameplay atrocious, I adore it in every way.

9. Thunder Force IV

I only first played this last year on Switch. Incredible music, graphics and above all thrilling to play. It grabs you by your downstairs mix up and it doesn’t ever let go until the end, and even if you don’t like shmups it’s something to try just to see that level with the mouth tails and water.

8. Super Mario 64

No explanation required. Magic somehow distilled into a cartridge. Probably the most important game ever made in terms of how it revolutionised the industry.

7. Nier Automata

Amazing story and score, one of those few games that will make you look at the big things differently. And also listen to its soundtrack a lot.

6. GOLDENEYE

You’d never get such an accurate Sean Bean simulator these days, where you can go round slapping women just like in real life!

5. Resi 4

I play this game every year. The pacing for 3/4s of it is perfect. The remake won’t be better, but fortunately the PC has the fan HD mod so that won’t go anywhere!

4. DOOM II

The Da


4. Super Mario Galaxy

As soon as that first level music starts and Mario starts running, I feel like I’m 5 again and I just feel joy.

3. Super Metroid

The last Metroid is in captivity. The Galaxy is at peace.


Is it FUCK! Go back to Zebes and re-genocide everyone from Metroid 1 but bigger, scarier, and way better, and their new pals!
In every conceivable way an improvement over the games that came before. If gaming has a definitive masterpiece, it is Super Metroid.

2. Metal gear solid 3: Subsistence

A superior version of Snake Eater. Metal Gear Online. Metal Gear 1. Metal Gear 2. Loads of extras. If there is ever a Criterion Collection for gaming, this should be the blue print.


1. SUPER MARIO BROS. 3/ SUPER MARIO WORLD


These two are forever equal to me. Both show the best aspects of Mario games in completely different ways. I still play the, now and have great fun. Truly and utterly timeless, and everyone should be made to play them. If you’re making games, study these. The ultimate in any kind of gaming.

I can’t believe there’s not a Castlevania in there I have brought shame upon my house and family.
