Actually, I don't overly mind the graphics. Then again, I love alot of older games. This "generation" of gaming is a fucking joke in my opinion.

I completely agree, the only reason I'd like a graphics update on the first Silent Hill is because sometimes I'm completely taken out of the moment by Harry's hilarious running.

The fact that you call the story 'Meh' seems to suggest that you haven't actually taken the time to figure out what is going on, but rather than leave it at that, I'll support the polarized point of your assertion.

for this, I'll refer to Silent Hill 2 and 4. 2, because it is generally recognized as the greatest of the series installments which presently numbering at six if one includes Silent Hill Origin, and 4, because it is recognized for having one of the best stories of the entire series.

In 2's case, it was more the nature of what happened to you while you played the game. Not You as in 'James, the man you play as', but you as in 'Hey You, with the controller in your hand'. What most people went through, while paying attention to the events of the story (which I will not recite here on the off chance that someone wants to play the game for themselves... which they should if they haven't already!) was to look in on themselves and wonder how they might have reacted to many of the situations posited by the game's events, both implied and played through by the player. Jame's decisions are obviously at the top of the list, but there is also the actions of the other characters which warrants consideration, from the transformation Eddie goes through, to the bratty innocence of Laura. Watching and slowly learning about Angela's past and what brought her to silent hill is equally chilling. Silent Hill 2 isn't just scary because of the situations you must play through, but because of how disturbing yet feasible its ensemble of miscreants is.

Silent Hill 4 might be one you skipped if you're not a fan of the series, but it warrants a visit from anyone who is interested in story telling via the gaming platform. Without spoiling the events of the story, I can promise you that the events are deep enough to safely dive head first into. You're greeted by a cast of six well rounded and heavily explained characters, some of whom you come to know incredibly well despite only a small number of interactive scenes involving them. On top of that, you're invited into a complex origin story revolving around the psychologically intriguing Walter Sullivan. By the climax of the game, you know Walter's dark motivation, and facing off with him is a truly frightening prospect.

My favorite games of all time are the ones with music on my profile.

I also enjoyed a lot of other games, such as Metal Gear Solid or Command and Conquer.

ALIENS VS PREDATOR 2 #1. 2002 was a good year...

As everyone else has said... this sh*t is hard to do! Save for Chrono Trigger, there's no particular order.

1. Chrono Trigger
Xenogears (don't think I saw this on anyone's list o_O)
FFVIII
FFVII
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Tribes
GoldenEye
Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate (though I do like DOA4's system better)
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 4

Honorable Mentions:
Command & Conquer
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Halo 1 (ya know, the one that wasn't influenced by the MTV culture)
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
The Sims
SimCity 2000

I need to stop here before I keep listing names, there's just way too many.

Despised:
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
*No amount of arguing is going to change how much I hate this game. I'll leave it at that :)

I'm sure I forgot something that'll bite me in the ass later.

Damn it! I knew I'd forget an important one! Final Fantasy Tactics should be in the top 5. Took me this long to remember it and it's sitting right in front of me on a PSP.
