I'm both surprised and pleased to see FFVIII on your list considering it's my favorite of the series. IX might as well be tied with it for me, though.
I need to play Resident Evil one of these days. The only one I played at all was 5, and that was because a friend and I rented it once while we were hanging out due to wanting some co-op game to play.
IX would probably be higher on the list if I got farther than a single disc. That's a testament of how good it is right there.
The older Resident Evil games are a lot different than the newer ones just in case you don't know. Everything changed when the Las Plagas attacked.
Oh I know. 4 changed everything. My college roommate had the Gamecube remakes of 1-3, but I was waiting to play them until I had played through Silent Hill 1-3. I made it to the end of Silent Hill 3, and then I graduated and haven't seen the game since. I really want to finish it.
I never played the original F.E.A.R. but I have played F.E.A.R. 3 and I found that a blast. Not scary aside from a couple of quick jumpscares but it was fun.
Also BARRY BURTON IS A GOD AMONG ALL MEN.
I actually haven't played any of the Silent Hill games. Saw the first movie. I get the feeling I would have hated that movie had I played the games.
Poor Barry never got his sandwich T_T
The first two F.E.A.R are worth checking out if you liked 3. Alma is especially badass in the first game. Another company is working on a MMO but that's still in the alpha stages to my knowledge. Not sure how they'll pull off an MMO but I'm hopeful it will be good.
You can play as Barry in Resident Evil 5's Mercenaries Reunion mode and hilariously he has an attack called the Barry Sandwich.
I now have a reason to get Resident Evil 5.

BattleTanx_Global_Assault_BA.jpg
I'll rep anyone who knows this game without having to Google it. BattleTanx Global Assault! All of the good things about BattleTanx and NONE of the weaknesses. Play up to four players (two in Campaign where the story is) in Tank Wars, Deathmatch, Battlelord, Convoy and Family Mode. Battle it out in areas from America and Europe (London, Paris, Germany!) You can fight in Washington DC! You can fight in front of the White House. You can blow up the White House! (is suddenly on the NSA watch list) it's freaking awesome! Pick an army, pick a color, use a cheat to make your own army, fire missiles, teleport, switch into turbo, fire lasers, nukes! You can ride a tank equipped with a nuke! Nuclear equipped tanks! Big tanks, little tanks, average size tanks, tanks that flip upside down! I played this bad boy for hours. I tore down more buildings than Superman did in Man of Steel! It's such a shame we never got a third game, they left it open too.
Jill Valentine. One of the best female video game protagonists ever!
This statement invalidates anything MILF has to say about the rankings of IX and VIII. I can forgive someone picking VIII over IX if it was the second game they played in the series and they played less than one third of the other.Originally Posted by ToriJ
Plus it's not like you stuck FFX above it (I may cry if FFX shows up later).
I think you mean one of the best masters of unlocking ever!
I got stuck on the part where you're looking for Garnet after she disappears some time into disc one.

Monster Rancher lets you breed your own monster on a ranch with your own assistant (Holly ♥) Put them to work, train them, battle them and become famous! Raid your CD stack to find different monsters and combine them for more! Go on explorations with a creepy old guy but beware your monster getting lost! It was great fun and I could never sleep knowing it was waiting to be played the next day. However, the reason it got on this list is for one simple feature: death. Now, while it was rated for kids to adults, I think it's easy to say children were their main target audience, but did this stop them from approaching the topic of death? No. And I think they did a very good job of depicting the reality of death in a mature way that wouldn't have offended parents, and this was something that a lot of similar games didn't do or wouldn't do. Watching the monster die, Holly's reaction to it and then everyone showing up at the funeral with a distraught Holly really suck with me over the years.

Phoenix_Wright_-_Ace_Attorney_Coverart.png
I was introduced to this game through a Let's Play on YouTube and was so captivated by the story and characters that I went out and bought a DS just so I could play it. There are five cases overall called Turnabouts and you play a new Defense Attorney with the objective of proving your client's innocence even though there is a mountain of evidence against them and there's little keeping the Judge from banging his gavel and pronouncing them guilty. The game can be serious and silly and usually knows which one to be at which time. All the characters are likeable and even some of the minor ones can grow on you depending on your taste. There are some holes in the overall main arch of the story and it doesn't offer the best replay value but that first time you play through it is just great. Maya ♥

YESSS o the last two. Phoenix wright is awesome. So is monster rancher. I like your tastes.
I only have the first two Phoenix Wrights on DS. I'd like to have the third one but it's apparently rare and worth a lot more than I feel comfortable paying for a cartridge. Unless I can find it use somewhere.

This game proved that a fighting game CAN have a good story and well developed characters, therefore I will NEVER accept the excuse that fighting games of today don't need story because they're fighting games. Every character on here stood out, plenty of others connected and had history in various ways and it displays everything that an anime fan absolutely loves about anime. Each story is depicted as that character's very own anime show with preview leading up to each round. Gameplay is a lot of fun and it has a kicking soundtrack to go with it. This is one of the few games I can go back to and instantly know everything about the controls like it's second nature to me.
Now entering the Top 5. Dun, dun, dunnnnnn!
I feel like I've heard of the last one from somewhere before. I'll have to look it up.
Phoenix Wright and Monster Rancher are pretty great. I've only played the first Phoenix Wright, but I want to play the other someday. I've only played Monster Rancher 2, but I wish it was something that we could still see on current consoles. I want to turn my blu rays into monsters, dangit!
