#3 - Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC, Xbox)

Most anyone who has played this game know it is excellent. My favorite Bioware game to date (although that could change pretty soon here). The story starts off kinda of slow, but its builds up to probably my favorite moment in any game. And that is the twist, which I won't spoil for anyone who hasn't played it. The twist is excellent, and you probably won't see it coming, but it does actually make sense. After that the story really picks up and gets really good. You might be a little turned off by the combat system from just watching, but it is actually really good, and adds a lot of strategy to the game. Plus, its a freaking Star Wars game, so you do use lightsabers and use all the awsome force powers. The interactions with your npc companions are good as well. While the conversation system might not be as good as Mass Effect, it definetly layed down the path. You can choose to be nice to your buddies, or be a total jerk and go all dark side on them. This goes with the story as well, and you can make many choices about how or what you wanna do. This is an excellent game, one that a really really enjoyed. Ifyou call yourself an RPG fan, then you probably have already played it, but if you havent and own a 360 or PC, go to amazon.com and order one now! (you won't find it in stores, trust me, i looked)

#4 - Mass Effect (PC, Xbox 360)

I've always loved a good Bioware game, and this is definetly one of them. The graphics are amoung the best in gaming , although it sometimes take a minute for the game to catch up with itself. The controls hamper the gameplay, its not that bad. Biotics are a cool, interesting fusion of magic and the "force". Its a lot of fun to lift someone in the air, then send them flying a throw. The story is also one of the best in terms of how in touch you feel with it. The many decisions you can make and the excellent conversation system really add to this. The universe is probably Bioware's best to date. It adds a lot of history, drama, politics, and even discrimination, that make it feel like it could be a real place.

Thank you so much dahui!

now for the facts.

1) I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I love it. And yes, i can stand the rain.

2) My first game system was the N64, but i had played the NES and SNES to death pior to getting it.

3) my favorite genre of games is RPGs

4) My favorite music genre is Alternative, but im pretty open when it comes to music. No country though...or pop.

5) My favorite sports are American Football, Baseball, and Soccer.

6) my favorite teams are the Seahawks, the Mariners(AL), the Phillies (NL), and Sounders FC

7) I own a 360 but i don't hate the PS3. Just don't have the desire to buy one. The only real games that might make me change my mind are Uncharted 2 and Demon Soul's so far. I really only hate the PS3 fanboys. You know who you are!

My favorite game series is the Elder Scrolls, with Call of Duty a close 2nd.

9) Favorite developer is Bioware. They know how to make some games.

#5 - The Elder Scrols IV: Oblivion (2006)

I know I've done my fair share of complaining about this game, and that I've said Morrowind is a much better game. I almost didn't even have this in the top 10. But then i remembered how much I played this game, despite it's shortcomings. I don't like the fast travel system, i don't like the "adaptive difficulty", and i definetly don't like that there is only 4 factions after Morrowind had 10. But I still do like this game. It was much prettier than Morrowind, and the combat was better for the most part. You actually felt like your were actually hitting something this time around. The main storyline was nothing special, but getting to hear Sean Bean's voice for a majority of it was pretty nice. The Dark Brotherhood questline, on the other hand, had a damn good story. One of my favorites. The DLC's were pretty decent too. Most of them were just differant theme'd houses you could pimp out. My favorite was probably the last, Fighter's Stronghold. Knights of the Nine was pretty, despite being so short. But the expansion, The Shivering Isles, was excellent. The quests were very fun, the landscape was awsome to look at, and I liked it probably more than Oblivion itself. Plus the endgame reward is awsome.

Banjo-Kazooie & Banjo-Tooie (N64)

For this one, i decided to go with both games. I really couldn't decide which one I liked better. For me, these were the first real games i played intensly. I really got into them, even though i was fairly young. While I did play Mario 64, I enjoyed the Banjo-Kazooie games so much more. The worlds were varied and unique, and all have their own theme. My favorites were probably Click Clock World and Terrydactyland. One of the things i liked the most from the games was that in most levels there was some cool transformation that you could change into in order to beat the level. The transformations were pretty varied too, with everything from T-Rex's to Washing Machines. Both Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie were great platformers, and if you haven't at least tried one, then you are crazy
