I discovered that Lunar Legend was translated by a different company (ubi soft) than the original Lunar (Working Designs)... SO the original had a LOT of ahem... liberties in the dialogue and a LOT of pop culture references.

Zelda Veteran

Hmm... in no particular order:

1. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
2. Kirby and the Crystal Shards
3. Metroid Prime
4. Super Smash Bros.
5. Super Smash Bros. Melee
6. Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2
7. Soul Calibur 2
8. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
9. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
10: Mario Cart: Double Dash

I have too many games to list, so I'll leave you all with that.

Game #1: Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Platform(s): Nintendo 64
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask was a game that frustrated me when I was younger. I couldn't grasp the concept of time travel, and it annoyed me that every time the third night would roll around, the moon would crash, and destroy all humanity in a lunar holocaust.... :twisted:
But as I grew older, I discarded my N64, and bought a GameCube. It wasn't until then that I bought the Legend of Zelda Collectors edition. I played Majora's Mask, and instantly fell in love with it. The magical world it drops you in captivated me, and took me places I didn't think I could go. Ikana Castle was definitely my favorite place. The Garo spoke of Ikana's bloody past, and it had dead things everywhere. Definitely cool! The use of the masks was great, and I love being a Zora. The Goron roll pwns all, and Deku link just sucks XD

Game #2: Kirby and the Crystal Shards
Platform(s): Nintendo 64
This was perhaps the first Kirby game that I actually liked. A classic side scroller that also used it's 3D ware perfectly in line with it. Mixing and matching abilities was great! I could become a Thunder Boomerang wielding puff ball with no remorse! It was great game, and I'm thinking about renting it again, considering I found my N64 recently :wink:

Game #3: Metroid Prime
Platform(s): Nintendo GameCube
The best thing about Metroid Prime, is that it was the first Metroid game I ever played. (accepts abuse). I know, I know, crazy. But when I played it, I loved it. Another great thing about it, is that I got to experience it with my friend Sam, who gets so pissed when he loses that he'll go on a rampage down the street. lol! That was the greatest! And the game had stunning graphics, and the system really utilized everything it was capable of in this game. It was like a futuristic Zelda to me, which was just begging to be played.

Game #4:Super Smash Bros.
Platform(s): Nintendo 64
Super Smash Bros. was GREAT! It was the first fighting game that I ever played, and I still find myself playing it again and again.

Game #5: Super Smash Bros. Melee
Platform(s): Nintendo GameCube
Now THIS was an incredible sequel. Not only did it nearly triple the first's character selection, but it tripled up on levels as well! The play modes were great, and my favorite characters were: Marth, Fox, Falco, and Link.   (I can only expect more out of brawl) :)

Game #6: Naruto Clash of Ninja 2
Platform(s): Nintendo GameCube (Sony PS2 ?)
This game also tripled in character selection and levels! Not only did it include a nearly endless string of game play modes, but it also brought forth a farther storyline, one which carried us all the way to the climactic "Gaara VS Naruto fight!"

Game #7: Soul Calibur 2
Platform(s): Nintendo GameCube/Sony playstation2/ Microsoft Xbox
Soul Calibur offered a unique character for each of its featured systems. GameCube = Link
Playstation = Old dude from Tekken
X Box = Spawn
This is a long and challenging game, offering Weapon Master as its main mode. Each section offers a new shop with new weapons to buy, as you make your way across the map journeying to destroy Soul Edge, the evil blade that drives men mad.

Game #8: Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
Platform(s): GameCube
I regret renting this game. I should have bought it. It was an incredible game with gorgeous cinematics, and offered the classic style of tactical fighting that Fire Emblem is so well known for. I really do regret not buying this game. Journey as Ike through a vast land, collecting soldiers on your way.

Game #9: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Platform: Nintendo 64
A classic. A masterpiece. An adventure. Nothing short of an incredible spectacle of gaming. This is what started it for me. The first Zelda game I ever played, and loved it to no end. Still do. This opened up new worlds of gaming for me, and ever since I played Zelda the first time, I never stoped.

Game #10: Mario Cart: Double Dash
Platform(s) Nintendo GameCube
Last, but certainly not least, Mario Cart Double dash raced its way to my top 10. This, much like Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, is a game I regret not buying. I loved the partner feature, and it brought a new level of racing to the table.

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

In no particular order:

1. Jump! Ultimate Stars Not being able to read Japanese sucks but it's still a great game and 300 + characters is always a bonus.
2. Ocarina Of Time I love it so much, it's my favourite Zelda game.
3. Animal Crossing: Wild World A nice escape from reality!
4. Fable: The Lost Chapters It's awesome, but however many times I play through it I have never been evil.
5. Black and White I couldn't be evil in this either, I'm such a wimp.
6. Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft I loved all of the first 4 games, but this was my favourite, The Desert Eagle = Love!
7. Harvest Moon: FOMT So cute, I got bored after 5 years though.
8. Tomb Raider II: Starring Lara Croft Yeah my second favourite TR game, but they're all so great. The opening cinematic with the monks scared the hell outa me when I first played it at the tender age of about 6.
9. Naruto: Shinobi Retsuden Yeah, again negotiating japanese menus is a pain and the character selection is small, but it's addicting!
10. Dance Stage: Euromix For the PS1! I lost the disc though, so now my dancing is restricted to ferries. Great game anyway, uber fun with friends!

LadyNintendo

* Okay, so I can't actually add Tingle RPG to the list yet, but I think I'm really gonna like this game, so....

Penguin dude 2

10 Banjo-Kazooie
Good humor and all characters talk.
9Banjo-Tooie
Everything from the 1st comes back, but everything better, except the myster of what happened to Banjos sister.
8 Siege of Avavlon.
Big world, with excellent story and tons of weapons and spells to kill monsters with.
7Age of Mythologly: The Titons.
Really good RTS, with excellent hiding places.
6Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.
Many memorable scenes, really hard final boss, but the ending has people coming back from the dead and deep space.
5Baten Kaitos Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Some really great characters, imaginitive world, very well done ending.
4Zelda Twilight Princess
Not the best Zelda, but still very good, main drawbacks  are the inclusion of Ganon, and Link seems very unimportant.
3Tales of Symphonia
I love everything about this game, except a couple characters. One of the best stories ever.
2Zelda Majora's Mask
My fav Zelda, it did everything right, and had a rally cool gameover.
1 Baten Kaitos Origins.
Has a truly moving soundtrack, and every character has something memorable about them, and the acting is superb.

This list is gonna change when I get to play Final Fantasy X and the .hack//G.U. trilogy.

Fishalicious

Speaking of .hack// G.U., I love that game series as well, though I've only played half of the first one. u_u And Trauma Center. <3

Twilight Wolf

Trauma Center! I love that game! One of the best DS games ever, I think, and the best I've ever played.  It gets really difficult, but you feel such a sense of accomplishment when you get past a difficult operation! It's definitely in my top ten.

Unless you're talking about the Wii version, of course, which I haven't played, but it's still probably awesome.

Anyways, I'd need to think about it, but I'll try to assemble a top ten list of my favorite games.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Final Fantasy VII is THE definition of overrated in my opinion.
No sorry, taken by Halo.

Fishalicious

I've played both, but I'm currently playing the Wii version. I felt terrible putting that artificial valve in that little girl's heart... it just really gets to you, I guess, Trauma Center... you operate on your friends, little kids... and GUILT is just a great enemy. It's so unique and... I'm rambling, I'm sorry. u_u
