I've "beaten" every animal crossing game. And by beaten I mean every fish, bug, fossil, fully paid off house, upgraded shop etc.
Do not ask me why....I'm not sure I can answer that myself.
Yet looking back it all nothing beats this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SRPAiQoSdQ

Others: Fire Emblem, Call of Duty, Burnout

1. Team Fortress 2 (PS3)
- No, not the PC version. MAny say the console versions of TF2 are broken, and they have abandon them for that reason. It has its problems and its glitches but one golden thing has emerged from its failure, a community. Not many people play this version anymore. But those that have stayed have formed clans that all link together like a family. I don't think any other game could help a group of people do that. Things like Art Design and level design really seperate it from the rest of the FPS pool.

2. Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney(Nintendo DS)
- One of the most important games features for me is story, Pheonix had it all, quirky characters, dramatic moments, and intense courtroom moments. The game made me feel like a Lawyer, and a detective, It's like all these new shows on TV lately, the ones that have some consultant helping a police force solve crime(Mentalist, Lie To Me, etc). I remember sitting in my room just staring at the screen waiting until I could shout OBJECTION as Pheonix did it. God I hated when I finished the last case, the latest Pheonix wright games haven't been the same.

3.Pokemon Silver(GBA)
- My childhood fantasy was that of pokemon,wishing there was something more in the world, I would analyze the forest area around celebi's shrine and just be engulfed in mystery and illusion. I always wanted to have a game that combined regions, and Silver/Gold were the closest thing I had. It also introduced some of the most interesting legendary pokemon, Lugia and Suicune.

4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarana of Time/ Minish cap
- I'm young so i don't know the joy of playing some of the classic zelda's except Ocarana of time, but for some reason minish cap drew me in. Ocarana time is the first real 3D large world adventure game, and it really made me feel like that world was important, and that I had to save zelda.

5. Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
-This one game can be used to summarize how great Fire emblem games, and turn based games altogether, really are. I would be restarting a level that I had invested 3 hours in just because I had lost one character. I had a connection to my whole team, I didn't want to continue my quest without even one of them.

I'm having trouble deciding if Red Faction is a better purchase than Prototype.

I think I'll get it, hoping to enjoy the new content enough.....but the linking regions would be a dream come true, or at least the Gold remake coming up.

just have fun- brilliant
