I’ve created a few versions of this list in my mind. Many games are neck and neck to be considered for nomination. It’s splitting hairs at this point. A good many that I would consider to be on my list are already mentioned a few times and are assured a spot in round 2. So, since there are several approaches I could take, I have come up with the following 6, all of which I don’t think have been nominated yet:
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain - PS4
This is just a personal choice. Many people did not like this game, but for some reason I found it utterly addictive and the gameplay and story was top notch. A large departure from the MGS formula, I feel like it moved the franchise forward, but yet kept the spirit of Metal Gear intact. What can I say? I loved the game. And that includes the polarizing story, which I found very entertaining and contains an epic ending that left my jaw on the floor and connected Big Boss’s story back to the original classic Metal Gear Solid game where it all began. Persona 5 - PS4
Not sure how no one has chosen this game yet. One could argue it improved on P4Golden in nearly every way. Since it won Push Square’s GOTY recently, I’ll just keep it at that. Tomb Raider (2013) - PS3
Lara Croft is the First Lady of gaming, and one of her games deserves to be in the running. This one is the best, imo. A departure from the early games and a reinvention, it is a blast to play and I really like how Lara has been developed as a character. Skyrim - PS3
How can this not be considered one of the best games of all time? It’s been on nearly every console now, republished over and over. I played it on the PS3 and had never played an Elder Scrolls game before. I didn’t know if I’d like the first person style and heavy reliance on inventory management, but ended up loving this game and played it for many many hours. I still have the Gregorian chant style theme song as one of my ringtones. Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec - PS2
Very highly rated game at the time and I poured a lot of time into it. Basically I have not enjoyed racing games much since this game. There was something addictive about collecting the cars and making money on the circuit. Just good memories as a young lad. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 - PS2
A strange choice, I know. But it only seems strange because they ran the series into the ground and the TH games after this became worse and worse until they devolved into absolute garbage. In actuality, before the rapid decline of the skating game genre, THPS3 was riding high at the very pinnacle of gaming on the world’s most popular console at the time. Need more evidence?... THPS3 is tied for the PS2 game with the highest Metacritic score (97%) along with GTA3. We forget how awesome, addictive, and innovative it was.
@Th3solution I have Persona 5 at #3 of favorite games of this gen. Couldn't put it above Bloodborne and Uncharted 4, but I think all these games including The Witcher 3 are the pinnacle of their respective genres. I'm glad you voted for it though .Just goes to show how strong this generation has been.

You guys are choosing the contenders now, then the competition will start, right?
Many of my favorite games are already on the competition, but these are the games that I choose:
Demon's Souls (PS3)
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2, PS3, PS4)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
Chrono Trigger (multi)
Okami (multi)
These games, also many of the games already mentioned are definitely on my list of the best games ever.
I still want to make my personal top 100. xD
Some awesome picks and we now have enough games! Already over 80 comments!

@RogerRoger Thanks. Yeah, I can see people’s criticism of MGSV is valid with the replaying of past missions on the second half of the game, and the somewhat fragmented nature of the narrative and missions, but in the end it was for me one of those games that had me glued to it and obsessed for a couple weeks, which doesn’t happen real often for me. But to be honest, when we get to later rounds to vote and push comes to shove, I might give the nod to, say ... an Uncharted 4 or Shadow of the Colossus or something over some of my nominees. I just kind of cheated a little and omitted some of my top ones so a few of my other favorites could get some love during the prologue. I’ll have to see what my mood is at the time and hear people’s debate and defense of the games as they champion certain ones to help make a decision. I can be swayed by a good argument

Man, this is tuff... @Fight_Teza_Fight I have a question, if I got it correctly, games like Tlou or TW3 are already in competiton so: Do I need to vote for them if I want them on my list?
PC - Wolfenstein 3D (MS-DOS)
PS2 - Shadow of the Colossus
Wii - Super Mario Galaxy 2
PS4 - Uncharted 4
Multiplat - Red Dead Redemption (PS3)
Multiplat - Assassin's Creed 2 ( PS3)

@YummyHappyPills I thought it was XBC you liked not X. I'm playing XBC on 3DS now. Enjoying it but wish I had it on console. I really want to give X a go but not worth buying a Wii U for. Wonder if it'll come to Switch.
I'll just choose my favourites out of games that I've played, they might be different from games that I think are the best. My favourite games can vary depending on mood or over time. In no particular order:
GTA San Andreas (PC)
Portal 2 (PC)
The Hobbit (PS2)
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation (PS1)
9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors (DS)
Pokemon SoulSilver (DS)
Thats almost every forum legend who has posted! This list of games is gonna absolutely rock!
@AnimeGamerFan its 6 games as @kratosmd mentioned. If you dont edit the comment the first 6 will be chosen and the rest cast aside. Thanks for joining in!

@RogerRoger Actually, I’m not sure how much debate and campaigning there is. It’s my first mcnoisy poll. I have a feeling anything goes.
And I actually had not clue that a Phantom Menace game even existed. 😅
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@RogerRoger@Th3solution There's honestly not too much debating. Maybe some in-depth opinions on why someone would pick X game over Y game, some salt from me when my favorites lose to something everyone loves, but it's a peaceful thread usually. Votes are cast and things happen.
