AoE2 took everything AoE1 did and made it better. It's like Picard vs. Kirk: no contest.

This is debatable. (SPOILER)99% of people who say this have not seen TOS in its entirety and I only accept "Best Captains" arguments from people who have
When I say 'fantasy' I suppose I better mean 'something that ignites my imagination'. The English dark ages do not do this nearly as much as the Roman bronze age, or even earlier times. I loved that there were no British nations in AoE, and that it had a massively Mediterranean / North African vibe.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I just saw Road Rash II was on the list. That game was freaking awesome!
There was no Roman bronze age, it had been over for centuries by the time the Palatine Hill was settled. So, yes, pretty fantastical.
42. Halo 3
360, 2007
Halo 3 is the first Halo I played (I've only played one other - I think it was ODST) and it was a blast. I know that everyone goes on about the high difficulty campaigns and the PVP and "challenging yourself" or whatever, but sod that, I played this game for the pure fun factor that can only be provided by not taking it seriously. That meant I would be the decoy runner in the middle of a wide, open area during team matches, I would be the first player killed in deathmatches and I would occasionally fluke a top rank and be able to brag about it without coming across as a complete dick. I liked that!
It also meant I would play the campaign in normal mode or maybe one difficulty higher, I forget. I played it with Danielle, Jess and Psy and it was seriously so much fun. I genuinely miss PvE FPS gaming with friends. Everyone these days is so obsessed with PVP but it's just not my thing at all. I love co-op, and it will probably show when you look up and down this list once I bother to complete it.
The game itself is really colourful, which was a nice touch compared to many of the considerably drab FPS games that you get even today. The general gameplay was balanced and enjoyable. The weapons were quite fun, I particularly liked the one that fired crystal shards or whatever, I forget all the names. I liked the plot of the campaign enough to bother keeping up with it, and I loved fighting the Flood. The main credit to my enjoyment, even during much of the PVP (and I did play for a fair while, more than I normally would), though, goes to the likes of Dan, Jess, Psy and others who I happened to party with from time to time, because while I did inevitably get bored of being "the awful one", it was great fun while it lasted.

Remember when a machine gun shot Danielle and she told you a machine gun did it and you had no idea what machine gun shot her? ("What machine gun, honey?" was the exact phrase)
IT WAS ME
I WAS THE MACHINE GUN
OH GOD
I CAN'T KEEP IT SECRET ANY LONGER I AM SO SORRY
Your list is just a giant troll isn't it?

I don't think there's anything wrong with finding Halo 3 to be the 42nd best game of all the games I've ever played!
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Of course not, unless you've also happened to play Age of Empires, Final Fantasy IX, Civilization, Toe Jam and Earl, Solitare, etc...
41. Mass Effect 3

ME3's ending scarred it but we've all talked to death about that by now, so I'll just ignore it. The scanning system for getting resources was fairly dull too, so I'll also ignore that. The team in this iteration was pretty cool, though. I particularly liked the Traynor chick, if only because I really dug that accent.
My favourite parts were the ones that didn't really have much to do with the main story, but to do with the race lore. Legion's missions were really interesting, while the entire Krogan world storyline was just awesome. The banter between characters remained great, although the male Shephard I used remains lacking for the most part (screenshot above being one of the better exceptions to that rule, arguably his finest moment).
Overall, a good, solid game - ending aside. The gameplay itself was solid, too, and the worlds to explore were good fun. The nods to actions made in the previous games were cool, and I hope more games do this in the future, to an even bigger degree.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
And that's why no one takes you seriously.
