Now, I'm not saying that you *are* going to die. I am not saying that. Chances are that if you're reading this then you've probably got a rich and full life ahead of you; one that's filled with wild summers, cosy winters, and the sort of sexy bikini parties that will be the unrivalled envy of every single one of your instagram followers. But, be that as it may, you can't hold back the ravages of age and, one day, you're going to cross paths with old father time himself. Sorry about that. Here is a good list of game you can put in your bucket list: |

BioShock The best games are not the easiest but the ones that leave you with the best satisfaction at the end of the day while leaving you hungry for more. I though call of duty was the greatest thing ever but now I see it as a joke. These games are for intense gamers and it will pull you in, putting you at the edge of your seat and questioning if this game could be actuality or if it's all just in your head In 2007 the world was already intimately acquainted with the concepts of first person shooters, role playing games, and survival horrors, but in August of that year 2k games proved that you could combine all three. The results were nothing short of spectacular. Opening with a place crash and the protagonist seeking refuge in a sprawling, secret underground metropolis named Rapture, Bioshock was a long and engrossing battle for survival in a world that was slowly tearing itself apart. From the morality-based gameplay, to the weapons and powers that could be harnessed, right down to the iconic characters you would encounter, Bioshock remains one of the most immersive games ever released. 1 Like

Final Fantasy VII The awesome game that broke my RPG virginity. This game makes you feel as though YOU are somehow involved in the story. Character development reeks everywhere, the main character and villain is a complete badass, while graphics are mediocre a remake is coming, out so if you can't stand the outdated graphics you can wait for the remake. While the argument over which Final Fantasy is the best rages on decades after some of them were released, it's not unreasonable to say that the seventh instalment in the series is the most iconic. Making the series' first leaps into 3D graphics, the game not only sparked huge sales of the Playstation console, but brought RPGs out of Japan and introduced them to the rest of the world. There's been no looking back since. Even if it's become visually dated, the game's blockbuster storyline is still the source of much debate and nostalgia even today, and first plays are still capable of reducing grown men to tears. Taking elements of environmental disaster, megalomania, genetic manipulation, gods, and the universe, the game's plot twists and turns wonderfully through its 3 disc running time, and benefitted from a staggeringly beautiful combat and magic system. 1 Like

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Amazing game. I liked how huge the map was. There are lots and lots to explore . San Andreas has everything for an open world game that we could ask for. A vast map, massive storyline, tons of missions, memorable characters, countless features, customizations, various types of , airplanes, jetpack... I could go on forever. San Andreas is the best Grand TheftAuto ever 1 Like

Half-Life 2 You want an epic story? You got it. You want amazing graphics that have stood the test of time? Look no further. You want fast paced action?Boom, here you go. Half-Life is one of the best video games I have ever played. From its ahead of its time graphics to its unique gameplay, this game is very close to perfect. Firstly, it is no ordinary first person shooter, it redefines the whole meaning of the genre, it is a phenomenal single player experience that is incredibly fun to play and keeps you coming back for more, with its fantastic AI and gameplay. 1 Like

Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time I never thought a game could ever get as good as this. Within 2 minutes of playing this game I was addicted. I literally could not put down the controller. This game was so legendary. I played it over and over and found it entertaining every single time. If you have not sued this game you have not lived. You cannot call yourself a man if you have not played this game given to us from the gods . 1 Like

Portal 2 Valve again made a masterpiece.The voice acting is amazing, as it usually is in valve games. The graphics are also amazing, and there is a lot of small little details put in, like the vines growing from walls, cracks in the flooring, and even parts going down conveyer belts. The puzzles are also hard to solve, but not so hard that your gonna want to punch a hole through the screen. And the ending was fantastic, and quite a sad ending, with 2 amazing songs bringing closure (? ) to the series. And that last clip at the end nearly had me in tears, but laughing at the same time. The co-op mode is also fantastic, having to make you actually rely on your companion to get through the puzzles. The game also has an amazing fanbase, creating new levels ever day. All in all, it is a fantastic game.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare After a seemingly endless back catalogue detailing some of the world's most historical conflicts, 2007 saw the Call of Duty series catapult itself into the present day with the genre-defining Modern Warfare. Taking the player across the world through the various skirmishes contested by a US Marine and British SAS Commando, COD4 dealt with political unrest in Russia and war in the Middle East in the franchise's usual hyperbolic way. Gaining world-wide acclaim for its revolutionary use of weaponry and customisation, the game kicked off the FPS online explosion with players across the globe taking each other on in massive skirmishes, death-matches, and missions. 5 Likes

The Elders Scroll V: Skyrim Skyrim V is a game you will see once in a lifetime. With its wide range of details its wide range of lands. This game is not only amazing, its simply a masterpiece and will not be forgotten for many generations to come. Considered by many to be the finest game released during the seventh generation of consoles, the fifth instalment of the venerable Elder Scrolls series took both open-world games and the fantasy genre to new heights. 2 Likes

Last of us This is one of the few games that Game gets everything perfect.A landmark game in many ways, The Last of Us broke new ground in terms of character development, story, subtext, visual design, sound and, perhaps most importantly, its depiction of female and LGBT characters. Set in a post-apolocylptic America, the game charges the player with safely escorting a young girl through the wasteland, dodging and fighting off some zombie-like residents and otherwise unfriendly people along the way. Unlike other undead-shoot-em-ups, the last of us make the protagonists feel inherently vulnerable throughout the game and saw death as a last resort in most situations. At the heart of the game's brilliance though is the relationships of the characters, and a new emphasis in games that prioritise the story at their heart over the action in your hands owes a lot to the brilliance of The Last of Us. 3 Likes

Mortal Kombat A game that was so groundbreaking it spawned the introduction of age specific restrictions on video games sales, Mortal Kombat fell out of the genius tree and his every single branch on the way down. Just as video game players and designers were starting to realise the potential for carnage, along came Midway games with something that allowed you to pulverise ninjas, shoot fire at opponents, then rip out their spine while a deep voice bellowed "Fatality". It simply couldn't get any cooler than that in the early 90s. While fighting games are almost unrecognisable from their simple 2D ancestors, Mortal Kombat remains the title that wrote the book on the genre 1 Like

Tomb Raider Almost as famous for spawning the first ever virtual super celebrity, Tomb Raider wasn't the first 3D action adventure game ever released, but it remains the most influential. Back in 1996, gaming was yet to truly hit the mainstream and Sony's groundbreaking Playstaion had been in the hands of European gamers for less than a year. Released to little fan-fare, Tomb Raider went on to sell 7 million copies and become one of the most widely acclaimed titles ever seen. Taking control of one of gaming's first genuine heroines, Tomb Raider took players to some of the strangest corners of the globe in a quest for forgotten artefacts. One of the first games that rewarded genuine exploration, it was years ahead of its time both in terms of graphics and storyline.

Halo 5 I have more great memories playing this game, with and without friends, single player or multiplayer, than any other game I've ever played. The only con I can think of was that fact that the story was a bit... Rushed. Billed originally as Combat Evolved, Halo is now widely regarded as the most important launch title for any console ever and the entire success of the XBox owes a huge debt to it. Picking up the FPS genre, that hadn't had an eye-catching title since a certain James Bond picked up his golden gun, Halo went where no game had gone before with a wonderful array of weapons and vehicles to pit against genuinely intelligent enemies. Set in Bungie's wonderful science-fiction universe, Halo sees a super-soldier named Master Chief going up against the ruthless Covenant and the horrifying Flood. The story twists and turns through various intergalactic battlegrounds and, although every instalment of the series has arguably improved on the formula, the franchise's first outing remains the most defining. 2 Likes

Bully You can say this game shouldn’t have been rated T for Teen, you can say that this game is unrealistic as far as the real world and how bullies truly are, you could even say that Jimmy’s head looks completely identical to that of a p*nis, but what ever you say you can’t deny that this game wasn’t entertaining or fun, for that matter. Other than follow through with the actual story, there is plenty of other things to do in this game. The mini games within this game are a big plus, as well as very creative. For example, if you’re supposed to go to English class, your objective is to spell as many words as you possibly can before the time hits 0. If you pass, you are rewarded with items Jimmy can use, if you fail, you have deal with hearing your teacher trash talk you and tell you in so many words that you suck and you’ll never amount to anything because you’re pathetic loser who does nothing but procrastinate. In so many words, that’s what some teachers really might say to you. Yikes.

Nice list. I've only played two of them however. Seen someone play Skyrim though and it's well deserving. Halo 5... Well maybe H2... I agree completely with HL2 and Ocarina of Time. Especially Zelda. These two are absolute genius. I would have tossed FF7 and put Pokémon Red though. Just me though. That was Pokémon at its absolute best. It's gotten shinier, sure, but the joy of the first was unrivaled. |

The Halo fanboys at work feel otherwise. I don't play the franchise, but they had misgivings with H5. Apparently, it didn't bring nothing new to the table and Master Chief was not featured heavily in it. I know one of them even complained that the score wasn't as epic as the previous ones. |

Well, I already played all these thirteen games, so this means now I can die? I hope the answer is not. Honestly, I've been playing more than fifty games, and all of them are awesome. However, I prefer racing games. I always liked racing games more than others, but after stumbling on this site yesgamers.com, my interest in racing games raised even more. Now there is not a day I didn't play racing games, and the most I like driving Lamborghini Aventador. This is my favourite car, and I hope sometime I will be able to drive such a car in the real life. |
