Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Say your top 10 favorite games, comment on others lists, say stuff about the games on your list. Very straight forward. Here's my list and commentary. No, your commentary does not need to be this in-depth.
10. Pokemon Emerald (Gameboy Advance)
Pokemon games had always been decent before then but this one I think really stuck out. It's the first one to have more than the most basic possible plot. The battle frontier was amazing, and it was the first game with animations for pokemon. Best of all, there was an UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF SMEARGLES. I **** caught literally over 50 of those things just so that I could give them random obscure moves. Mission accomplished.
9. Everybody Edits (Internet)
Sorry, this one's kinda obscure and you might not have heard of it before. Anyways, it's this game that at first seems like minecraft but it's not. It's a platforming game where you play as these dorky little smiley faces and build all kinds of random crap. It's mostly a drunken pasttime for me. Mostly I play on modded levels by this guy called cyph1e. Also there's this forum I go to for it where I ramble, rant and say stuff that I don't even understand myself. If you get into the game, I suggest you start going to that forum, ee.foumify.com, although I doubt you will.
8. Team Fortress 2 (Steam)
I play this game more than any other game, even though it's not my favorite. The thing is, all my friends both irl and over the internet play it so it's a good thing to do with friends. It's an FPS but instead of looking real, the art style aims to look cartoony. The game takes place in the 50's between 2 teams of 9 mercenaries, hired by a pair of brothers fighting for their deceased fathers land. Each character is extremely different from one another and you can take a lot of damage without dying. That's why I love this game. Most FPS's end up being very similar with strategy, but in this game you don't just run out and get a one hit kill, instead you need to figure out which weapons to use and what course of action to take. Each class has a vastly different play style from one another making things even more diverse.
7. Super Mario World 2; Yoshi's Island (Super Nintendo Entertainment System {SNES})
Best of all mario sidescrollers. It's a lot easier to NOT die in this. It was pretty much the only SNES game to be so well drawn that it has its own art style; a crayon-ish pastel coloring.
You got to play as Yoshi, another plus, and it had Kamek! Kamek had swaggy music, best sound effects evar, and made the weirdest bosses ever. One of the most fun things about the game is being able to eat your foes, then turn them into your own offspring, then kill your children by shattering them on other enemies. The reason why I chose this game over its GBA remake, despite being inferior in just about every way, is because in the original there's a glitch that allows you to eat and kill Baby Mario. Jolly good fun.
6. Pikmin 2 (Nintendo GameCube)
Controlling an army of tiny carrot monsters is the greatest game concept since rolling up things in a giant ball. The original Pikmin was fun, but it was short and the 30 day limit made it a bit too challenging. In this game there were also two new pikmin, which added more to the game. I think what I mainly loved about this game was simply how beautiful it looked. The falling leaves and bright sunshine just felt good to walk around in, despite being completely virtual. The bug-like enemies added even more to the experience. On of the things I liked most about the gameplay was just all the different possible collectables that you could get from pillaging caves. Minecraft ain't got nothing when it comes to the actual "cave exploration experience".
5. Portal 2 (Steam)
This game has the best plot to ever be written for a video game. Actually, the plot itself wasn't that complex, but the scripting and amount of emotion they were able to put into this game made it feel like you were watching a movie while being in one at the same time and playing an awesome video game. The important part to getting this feeling is to not find out ANYTHING about the game and see what happens when you play it, and that you wait at least 18 months after finishing Portal before playing it. You'll nostalgia so hard it'll leave a mess that will take weeks to clean up. The puzzles are very clever and there are great added game mechanics. The co-op mode is pretty boring to me though, unfortunately.
4. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Nintendo GameCube)
My most favoritingest rpg. I really liked the first Paper Mario, but this one takes the cake, eats it, takes a s***, sculpts and paints it to look like a cake, and then gives it to Super Paper Mario (god that game was awful). This is the only Paper Mario game to take advantage of having paper like things, such as how when you enter a house the scene changes like a pop-up book, or how you can turn into paper planes and boats. The characters in this game were a lot better than normal and the different worlds were extremely unique. This whole game is very humorous in every moment, and there are also parts when you get to play as Bowser in classic Super Mario Bros. themed levels.
3. Legend of Zelda: Windwaker (Nintendo GameCube)
The best Legend of Zelda game ever made. As popular as Ocarina of Time is, I don't think it can compare to this one. The dungeons were more creative and the plot was incredible. Like Portal 2, I suggest you play Ocarina of Time first to truly enjoy the plot. You'll be overcome by nostalgia. The bosses in this game were one of the best parts. They were all bizarre and awesome, such as a floating head that spat arrows from it's nose, a giant fat ghost that burst into a rainbow of small ones, and a flying sandworm with big flappy lips (search Molgera's Theme on youtube to hear this guy's epic pan-flute solo). What stood out most about the game was its art style. Instead of aiming to look realistic like other Legend of Zelda games, it has a cell-art look o it. The characters are more cartoon-like and have very exaggerated features. What really makes this artstyle great is how smaller things look. When a bomb explodes, it looks like an orange cloud of wind spreading out. Lava shoots up in reddish geysers. The second boss, a giant flower beast, bursts open when you make it fall into a burst of floating blue lights and luminescent petals. The only downside to this game is that there aren't as many dungeons as in other games and there's two different parts of the game that you just spend wandering. Still, play this game if you want to give your eyes the equivalent of happy drugs. And DON'T play the games for the DS that are supposedly sequels of the same style. They aren't at all like it and are absolutely horrible.
2. Kirby Air Ride (Nintendo GameCube)
This game is a completely unique masterpiece. No other game is like it. By the time the GameCube came out, it was time for Kirby to have a racing game. They could've gone about it the normal way like MarioKart and racing games for other systems. Instead a different approach was taken. Your vehicle is given a ton of mobility, letting you easily get around everywhere. And using this they made an entire mode where you shoot around a huge city, fighting and playing. This mode is called City Trial When you're riding a "star" it doesn't feel like your in a car. You move automatically and you can hold down A and turn and start moving again in a different direction at no time at all. You can even fly! Another huge benefit of this game is its achievements, or "records". There are 120 different ones for each mode. Due to how unlimited you are to your movement, these achievements are very diverse and lots of fun to aim to collect. They tried to reuse this style inside Super Smash Bros. Brawl but the achievements felt limited to just winning under different conditions in different modes. The normal racing mode is called Air Ride. It's your run-of-the-mill racing style, but with enemies to inhale so you can get different abilities to fight with while you race. The courses are really strange and fantastic with a very whimsical feeling to it because, once again, you are unhindered by low acceleration, difficult turning and the lack of the ability to fly. The final mode is Top Ride. This only has one type of star, (wait, I haven't gotten into detail of those yet. more on them in a moment) which makes compete under even turns. There is no flying in this, the laps are extremely short, and you view the entire course from above. It might sound crazy, but it's fun with friends to race 99 laps on a single course. Alright, the different stars. There are 9 different stats in the game (health, offense, defense, weight, flight, turn, top speed, acceleration and charge), allowing large diversity in the types of stars. The Swerve Star has extremely high acceleration and boost, but low turn and top speed, making it so that you shoot forward really fast, brake and turn, then shoot off in a different direction. There are also two extremely hard to obtain stars that are called legendary stars. One is Dragoon that can fly almost forever and the other is Hydra, one that can't move until it charges up, but can reach speeds up to 3 times faster than the speediest normal car, and has so much offense it can kill in one hit and has health so high it goes off the screen.
1. Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo GameCube)
This game is a masterpiece given to us by the gods. Play it. I command you.

I like TF2 and EE just not Pokemon emrald I'm not A pokemon fan. :/
Summon Nights: SwordCraft Story for GBA.
Also, Cave Story for PSP, PC, Mac, Linux, HTML5 compatible devices, XBox, and a few other things I can't recall atm.
I agree that Emerald was a pretty good game. Record sharing made things fun.

Portals 1 and 2. Both are masterpieces.
EE and Minecraft they are both good... Also Mario Games!
Super Smash bros' Melee I don't play it very much, and I'm not good at it, but I think it's almost perfect. There is a lot of secrets scattered throughout the game, and many things to collect. They game is very fun, and has very good music. It also very technical as a competitive fighting game, and has a lot of depth. People still play tournaments for it, even after almost more than ten years. I know it's just opinions, besides the last part, but a lot of people agree with this. I have a lot of other favorite games, but IDK if anyone will agree on them being "Top 10 Greatest Games Ever Made" lol :S
#1 Ratchet and clank crack in time
#2 Legend of zelda Ocarina of time
#3 Jak 3
#4 Jak 2
#5 Jak and daxter
#6 Super mario 3d land
#7 Super smash bros brawl
#8 Mario kart 7
#9 I must say it although it might be embarrassing, Animal Crossing City Folk
#10 Everybody Edits
This is just my opinion of the best games, there probably far from what anyone would think.

Not bad. But not as good as the #1.
The Mario Kart series
Always fun, and pretty much the only reason to own a Wii.
The Call of Duty series
Brilliant shooter series
WWE games
Great series, they completely dominate their genre but don't get too complacent.
The Guitar Hero series
A great genre-definer, spawned many copies (including Rock Band), and great music selections.
Pac-Man
An old, yet influential game. Always fun to play.
All 2K basketball and Madden football games
Yeah. I rolled the two into one. Both equally fun to play.
Bejeweled series
A wonderfully addicting puzzle game series. An oft-copied genre-definer.
Tetris
Another old fun game.
DRUMROLL, PL0X!
1. Sneak King
Just kidding.
1. Saints Row: The Third!
Normally, I would say the Saints Row series, but the third edition is leaps and bounds ahead of the others. The only game in existence able to so seamlessly blend comedy, action, and tragedy together. Play it for five minutes, and you won't be able to stop.

999: 9 persons, 9 hours, 9 doors.

I heard Bloons had one BILLION plays. Try seperating to. Online and video games.
Spore.
Congratulations. You just won the game.
bump. i finished writing my full list, it's in the first post. i had only written 10, 9 and 8 before now, so the addition is hefty enough to deserve a gravedig. i might also add an honorable mention post of all the games just barely not good enough to make it.
