My Top 10 Favorite Video Games of ALL TIME

[yuchubbijos]

dangle and flail your whip around... it does sound bad.. HAHAHAHA

[PWheat23]

Thats an awesome list! I actually just got done beating both MegaMan 2 and Link to the Past in the last 3 week. Those are the type of games u can constantly play. I bought the original Megaman a couple months ago and havent played it yet. Dont get me wrong, I did play it a long time ago just not recently. Cool I got a video response to this vid. I actually made it about 6 months ago but it does show my favorite games.

[NyneVoltGames]

I beat FF12 twice. I suffered through the first play, but for some reason the second time through was great. The hunter missions added alot.

[ballinnick1982]

@NyneVoltGames I've been meaning to take some time to finish up the hunt missions since i still have my save file. I got quite a bit left so theres tonos more to be played

[sarasmilepiano]

Finally, a guy who has great taste in games. I gotta say, I love the way you hold up the game and go into your commentary- very old skool. Anyways, you're around my age so we have similar tastes. Here is my list of console/pc mix:

[sarasmilepiano]

@sarasmilepiano --1. Legend of Zelda (NES) --- ---2. Resident Evil (PSX/Gamecube)--- ---3. Virtua Tennis (Dreamcast)--- ---4. Super Mario 3 (NES)--- ---5. Myth 1/2 (PC- Bungie)--- ---6. Mega Man 2 (NES)--- ---7. Super Mario 2 (NES)--- ---8. Intelligent Qube (PSX)--- ---9. Super Mario Kart (SNES)--- ---10. Super Puzzle Fighter (Various)--- ---Special Mention: Resident Evil 2, Tetris, Legend of Zelda 2, Contra, Gabriel Knight 2---

[ballinnick1982]

@sarasmilepiano Hey thanks for the comment! I really appreciate the kind words! And like you said, our taste in games is very similar by looking at your list! Never played Intelligent Cube but i really want to. Its kinda pricey but i'll find it eventually. Great list! Good to see someone who likes a variety of different games

[sarasmilepiano]

@ballinnick1982 Yeah, I'm a huge fan of RE. Totally blown away with it when I first saw it on the PSX. Like you I was not into to the 3D person view. What made it so good was the pre rendered graphics. Gamecube was the last system I played RE on and the last one to do the series right (the remake was awwesome). Intelligent Qube has a Marble Madness kind of feel to it, definitely unique among the puzzle game genre. And I forgot to mention Parappa The Rappa (PSX)- that was fun...

[Pizarroconquer]

lame comments on looks..

I agree with your top favourite games mostely, thumbs up for you:)

[ballinnick1982]

@Pizarroconquer Hey thanks man! Much appreciated!

[JsJ1212]

ff12 best

[ballinnick1982]

@JsJ1212 I love that game!

[JsJ1212]

@ballinnick1982 yea they should make a XII-2. XIII wasn't worthy in my opinion

[Gengar59]

LOL u look like an ugly version of Mario

[ballinnick1982]

@Gengar59 I might look like an ugly version of somebody but it sure as hell aint Mario...

[sarasmilepiano]

@ballinnick1982 hey man, ignore those dumb comments, and stay classy

[ballinnick1982]

@sarasmilepiano Thanks again for the comment...Yeah the negative comments dont even phase me. I just laugh lol. When people put themsleves out for the world to see, your bound to come accross some lame kids lol

[LaurenHinson]

Great vid man! All 23 mins lol

[ballinnick1982]

@LaurenHinson Thanks. Much appreciated! Yeah it was a pretty long video lol

[LaurenHinson]

@ballinnick1982 No prob man I love your vids. I am a big fan. You and I have similar tastes!

[spiritsjoy]

Will you do a ps2 collection video soon?

[ballinnick1982]

@spiritsjoy Yes I will definately do a PS2 collection! I wont have much to say about a lot of the games but i can do one within the next few weeks or so if you want

[hackman71]

resident evil 1 was great... but resident evil 2 i felt was much better... 2 discs, claire and leons missions... epic story... infact im gonna play it again soon... its been awhile.

[ballinnick1982]

@hackman71 I did think that Resident Evel 2 was better graphically and the gameplay and weapons were definately upgraded and overall i really enjoyed it. The first one had much more nostalgia for me though. But both and even RE3 were all great games!

[MikeJustesenFilms]

Awesome list. 20 minutes that was worth it all. Thanks

[ballinnick1982]

@MikeJustesenFilms Hey thanks man! I really appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed it

[PsychoTomHoang]

My top three are

3. Bully

2. Metal Gear Solid 3

1. Final Fantasy VII (this will never change)

[ballinnick1982]

@PsychoTomHoang I can play Bully any day over GTA. I love that game...I never got into the Metal Gear series but i heard the 3rd is one of the better ones. ..And FF7 is definately an honorable mention for me. Truly a classic and really got me into RPGs...Great list!

[PsychoTomHoang]

@ballinnick1982 Hey thanks man, you should be a guest on All Gen Gamers podcast.

[clrplstc]

10. Zelda O.O.T. N64

9. Leisure Suit Larry 7 PC

8. Harvest Moon DS

7. Goldeneye 007 N64

6. Gauntlet 2 NES

5. Broken Sword 1 DS

4. Dragon Age Origins PC

3. Oblivion PC

2, Monkey Island 3 PC

1. Chrono Trigger DS

[ballinnick1982]

@clrplstc Great list! I have never played a Leisure Suit Larry game but i heard they are funny, Zelda OOT is a CLASSIC, I want to give the Harvest Moon series another shot, I think i'm one of two people that didnt like 007, Chrono Trigger is also a CLASSIC, I'm gonna give Oblivion another shot too eventually, and I have Dragon Age and am really looking forward to playing it...Thanks for sharing!

[ando3242]

Great list. A lot of the games came as a surprise for me so it was good to see someone with a bit different taste than the norm. My top 10 list would be completely different from yours, but nevertheless I respect your opinions.

[ballinnick1982]

@ando3242 Thanks! Much appreciated. I knew a few of these games would shock some peopple lol. But thats what makes everyone different and inique which is why these lists are so fun to watch!

[aAntho101]

good job making a list.. must have been hard narrowing down to 10 games.. i could never do it.. nice choices got some variety in there.. as for me.. i'll just name a few of my favorites.. suikoden 2, star ocean 2(psx), final fantasy tactics, super mario 3, sonic 3 & knuckles, doom, ff3, smash bros melee, marvel vs capcom 2, guilty gear x 2.......... not my top 10 but it's 10 games i cherish at least

[ballinnick1982]

@aAntho101 Thanks man! Yeah these lists are really hard to make...I heard Star Ocean 2 was great, FF Tactics kicks my ass lol, Mario 3 is awesome, and i'm gonna pick up Marvel Vs Capcom 2 someday cuz it seems pretty cool for a fighter...Great list!

[ballinnick1982]

@otakudensetsu I was hoping the same thing about FF13...Now days all the FF games are hit and miss with people but i guess thats how Suare-Enix likes to do things now...I really liked Secret of Mana AFTER i played Secret of Evermore which is odd. I need to go back and play SoM again!

[thedarkknight1017]

Hey man great list, its funny b/c I had mentioned about you making a top ten list a week or two ago lol...here is my top ten list in no specific order: 1-link to the past 2-star wars kotor 3- luigi's mansion 4-super mario rpg 5-star wars jedi academy 6-civilization revolution 7-batman arkham asylum 8-dragon warrior 9-dead rising(i know you will give it another shot!) and 10-the original splinter cell.

[ballinnick1982]

@thedarkknight1017 lol yeah i remember you asking me to make a top 10 lists and i definately liked the idea...Unfortanately this was the only one i could come up with lol...I've heard great things about Luigis Mansion, Mario RPG was fun but i liked it more as a kid, Arkham Asylum was a great beat em up!, DQ9 suprised the hell out of me in the best way possible. I could never get into the Splinter Cell games cuz i'm horrible at stealth games...Great list!

[brndn31107]

Bless you for not going with the crowd and picking FFXII! That's also one of my favorite final fantasies. My only issue were the chests and how difficult it was to get the best armor/weapons and fighting hell wyrm and yiazmat. I doubt it's possible to get everything in this game without a guide. Great game, though!

[ballinnick1982]

@brndn31107 I'm glad that other people like FF12 as much as me...I dont know why people hate this game so much but its fantastic in my opinion!

[doginmylense]

Super Mario 64 DS was much better than the first. The accessability of the DS for pick up and play made it more fun as well I totally agree with you. A lot of SNES games made it on your list. They would make it on mine too.

[ballinnick1982]

@doginmylense I agree! There was just so much more to do on the DS version and like you said, way more conveniant...The SNES is one of my favorite systems

[NicolajBaltzer666]

Sweet games man.. :) Awesome video aswell :D

[ballinnick1982]

@NicolajBaltzer666 Thanks man! I appreciate it

[NicolajBaltzer666]

@ballinnick1982 No problem ;)

[thwomp88]

AWESOME LIST BRO, I'M DANGLING MY WHIP AS WE SPEAK

[ballinnick1982]

@thwomp88 LOL Thats fuckin hilarious LOL!!

[yuris00]

1-FF9 2-Chroro Cross 3-Persona 3 FES 4-Street Fighter 3rd Strike 5-Capcom vs SNK 2 6-Megaman X 5( its the only megaman i beat) 7-Suikoden 4 8-Pokemon White ( its a great new restart to the series) 9-Metal Gear Solid 3 10-Fire Emblem Path of Radiance Honerable mentions, Dawn of Sorrow, FFX &7, Xenosaga 3, Chronotrigger, Devil may Cry 4, Bayonneta, Donkey Kong Country, Arcana Hearts 3, Tales of Vaesperia, DDS saga 1&2, Megaman and Bass, and more. And good list man:)

[ballinnick1982]

@yuris00 I loved what i played of Chrono Cross...Never played any of the Persona games but i heard 3 and 4 were amazing...Bayonetta ALMOST made the list but its definately a top 15 favorite so far...I still need to play the Tales games and DDS...Great list!

[PeteDorr]

Great selection of games, love your choice of FF12 and Tomb raider, two games that never seem to make it into peoples top 10 games.

[ballinnick1982]

@PeteDorr Yeah i kinda went againsts the grain which i seem to do alot lol. I think FF12 is great and doesnt get the respect it deserves in my opinion

[drizzymike1]

nice list....i spent the most hours on a game on ff12...lol about 70 hrs....shout out to kingdom hearts (my fave game series) and great video! i like!

[ballinnick1982]

@drizzymike1 Thanks man! I spent about 92 hrs on FF12 LOL...I was addicted to trying the hunts which eventually got too hard but i might go back and try to do them again since i still have my save data...I havent got into the Kingdom Hearts series yet. I heard the first two were good and i honestly only played about 30 mins of the first. I'll have to get back to it!

[shockerdrone911]

Guardian Legend is a VERY underrated game and damn its a hard game too beat.

Resident Evil 1 is the reason why I love zombies lol. You got to love the bad acting in that game "Jill sandwich". RE2 is perhaps my fav RE game, but the remake of RE just blew my mind. The first time I ran into a crimson head, I almost shit my pants lol.

[ballinnick1982]

@shockerdrone911 I agree man! I remember you collection video talkin about Guardian Legend. It really sucks that a lot of poeople dont know about the game because i thought its amazing!...The RE remake STILL has some of the most gorgeous graphics (In a dark way of course lol) and they STILL hold up...RE2 was GREAT but the first is stll my favorite

[ConsoleHandheldGamer]

My top 10: Final Fantasy V Final Fantasy XII Persona 4 Yakuza Dragon Quest 5 The World Ends With You Chrono Trigger Pokemon Platinum Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Star Ocean: First Departure Only one is not an rpg :)

[ballinnick1982]

@ConsoleHandheldGamer Great list man! I heard Persona 3 and 4 were amazing, Never played any Yakuza games but i heard they were fun, DQ9 was fanatstic!, SO First Departure was a really good game too. One of the only PSP games i've beat lol, Chrono Trigger is a CLASSIC, i've heard great things about The World Ends With You!...Thans for sharing your list!

[Captain8Bit]

Castlevania 4 and Mega Man 2 would be on my list as well

[ballinnick1982]

@Captain8Bit Those two games are absolute classics

[Renrussian]

Plus i personally think FF7 isn't that great as the hype makes you believe.

It is good but not the best rpg ever, that title goes to Suikoden 2!

[ballinnick1982]

@Renrussian Thanks! Much appreciated!...I can play the first 4 stages of Castlevnia 4 repeatidly!lol...Great list too...I only played Acraiser 2 and got my ass kicked on the first mini boss, Blaster Master is a classic. Played that alot as a kid...Kabuki Quatum Fighter is HIGHLY under rated. I havent played Alundra yet but i really need to. And Mario World is practically tied with my favorite Mario but i gave the edge to M64...Thanks for sharing your list!

[Renrussian]

Hey man, i really enjoyed your top 10 and we even share the same love for some of the games you've mentioned. Castlevania 4, stage 3 music can still sends shivers down my spine..it is THAT good!.

My top 10:

Actraiser - Suikoden 2 - Blaster Master - Kabuki Quantum fighter - Actraiser 2 Megaman 2 - Super Mario World - Alundra - King of Fighters 98 - Hagane

There are too many titles to mention but these are probably the ones i cherish most.

[rrob78]

@ballinnick1982

Yeah my brother & I would play R.C.-Pro AM all the time, we would get blisters on our thumbs.

[JaB615283]

My favorite game of all time is Chrono Trigger, it was a major part of my childhood and it's an overall great game.. I also agree with you on Super Mario 64 it's great. Honestly I'm going to have to say Donkey Kong Country 2 would be on my list of favorite games. Sonic 3 would probably be up there on my list.. a lot of great memories with it as well. Final Fantasy 7 is up there, FF9, and 3 or 6 whatever you want to call it lol. But there are so many other great games I've played..

[ballinnick1982]

@JaB615283 Hey sorry i was so late in responding to this. I didnt see this comment for some reason...But your right, Chrono Trigger is an AMAZING game. It barely didnt make my list but its definately a top 10 RPG for sure...I really liked Donkey Kong Coubtry 2 as well and had just as much fun with that one as the 1st...FF7 is a great game as well and actually got me into RPGs...I'm SO bad at Sonic games but they are fun lol...Thanks for the comment!

[loper5ricemeal]

great video!

[ballinnick1982]

@loper5ricemeal Thanks I really appreciate it!

[Otokou]

No particular order. Top 5 from the top of my head.

God Hand, Kof 11, FF Dissidia, Devil May Cry 3, Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner.

[ballinnick1982]

@Otokou I havent played any of those but i did like Devil May Cry 1 and i'm currently playing 4...God hand i'll have to pick up again because i think i traded it in and i'm not sure why. I've heard great things about all these games! Thanks for the comment!

[metalmayhem007]

Hey Donkey Kong is 1 of my favourite games of all time :) it was also my first video game ever :P

[ballinnick1982]

@metalmayhem007 Donkey Kong is fantastic! I have many memories of that game! And thats a great first video game too...Mine was Super Mario Bros!

[icebergthegamer]

Secret of Evermore is super under rated. That game is amazing. I have fond memories of that and Chrono Trigger. Link to the Past is amazing! Mega Man 2 was my first Mega Man game I played..Classic. Great video!

[ballinnick1982]

@icebergthegamer Thanks man! Yes, Secret of Evermore is HIGHLY underrated IMO...Chrono Trigger was amazing too. I need to replay that on the DS so i can refresh my memory on it. Thanks for the comment bro!

[icebergthegamer]

@ballinnick1982 You should definitley do that. That game is epic. First video game that really blew me away. I might review it sometime this week.

I did play the Wind Waker and i didnt like it too much but that was mainly towards the end. The ending was cool though!...Crash is a classic...Metroid Prime is great from what i've played...Valkyria Chronicles is very addicting which is why i had to put it down for a while lol...Thanks for the list!

[TheBallhead20]

Strategy guides just destroy games.

[ballinnick1982]

@TheBallhead20 I dont really use them THAT MUCH but i do go to them if i'm really stuck. I'm really bad at games with puzzles so it happens often. Or sometimes i'll glance at them to see how far i am in the game. But i usually have guides for artwork and collection purposes

[benzo8686]

AWESOME list man! This is a hard topic too imo! Im with you on secret of evermore, Just an all around GREAT fun game in general, very overlooked too. I REALLY need to try ff12 again, every time we talk about it i get the urge to start it up again....ive never finished it though

[ballinnick1982]

@benzo8686 Thanks Bro! I agree on SoE. WAY under rated! And i'm tellin ya, i think you'll like FF12! I might actually go back and play it again sometime before the year is over! LOL

[rrob78]

@ballinnick1982

Great selection of games, some of my favorites of the top of my head are, FF VII, Super Mario World, GTA San Andreas, Tetris, Kingdom Hearts there's others but I have to think on it. Oh yeah Tecmo Bowl & R.C. Pro-Am.

[ballinnick1982]

@rrob78 Thanks man! I loved FF7 and Super Mario World was SOOO close to making it on my list. I still havent got into Kingdom Hearts but i will eventually!...RC Pro-AM is a classic too. I use to play that at my friends house WAY back in the day...Thanks for the comment and list!

[ACrum615]

I really prefer turn based RPGs, so 12 was a step down to me but I still really liked it. I couldn't get into the story on it though :/ good vid! Right now my top 10 1.FF10 2.FF9 3. Resident Evil 4 4.Tales of the Abyss 5. Twilight Princess 6.FF7 7.FF8 8. Uncharted 2 9. Wind Waker 10. GS Lost Age

[ACrum615]

@ACrum615 holy crap that's jumbled! lol...it looked fine when I was typing it out :/

[ballinnick1982]

@ACrum615 Yeah FF12 was a very hit or miss game with most people! I REALLY need to start the Uncharted games lol. I thought Twilight Princess was pretty decent because it was more similar to Ocarina of Time which i LOVED. Your the 2nd person to list Tales of the Abyss. I have a feeling i need to play that game SOON! Thanks for the comment and your list. Great games you mentioned!

[techn9ne13]

Uncharted 2

[ballinnick1982]

@techn9ne13 I really gotta play the first one so i can pick up the 2nd. I heard its amazing!

[unmoderne]

You are the first guy to say something good about FF12!!!! Thats enough for me to give it a try thanks!!

[ballinnick1982]

@unmoderne Thanks for the comment! FF12 is VERY hit or miss with most people. But considering its a pretty cheap game, even if you dont like it, its not a huge loss. But I LOVE that game!
