Video Games That I Have Played (Ranked)
These ratings are based on how much I enjoyed the game rather than what I think is the best made game.
I would consider a rating of 7 to be an average game, while less than 6 is generally a bad game. I had a lot of fun with the games rated higher than 8 and I would consider the games rated higher than 9 to be among my favourite games of all time.
I have not completed every game that I have played but have not included games that I only played for a few minutes (Other than the terribly awful games at the end of the list)

- DirectorChris SeavorStarsChris SeavorLouise RidgewayChris MarlowThe vulgar adventures and exploits of a squirrel with a hangover, just trying to get back home while being forced to save the world.My rating: 10/10
Platform: Nintendo 64
Genre: 3D Platformer
Developer: Rare
About: An already beautifully made 3D platforming experience completed with a hilarious story-line about a drunk squirrel, Conker, trying to find his way home. There is some half decent multiplayer when the story is complete.
Positives: The gameplay is solid and the humor and personality that went into the game hasn't been matched by any other game that I have played. There are funny parodies of movies and cultural references as well as jokes about video game conventions. The puzzles are thoughtful and challenging.
Negatives: Minor Clunkiness in controls that makes some missions frustrating, Single Player Mode could be longer.
Completed full play through in 2015. - DirectorEiji AonumaYoshiaki KoizumiStarsFujiko TakimotoSachi MatsumotoKôji TobeAfter becoming the hero of Hyrule, Link stumbles into the enchanted land of Termina, where a falling moon will crush the world in three days.My rating: 9.9/10
Title: Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Platform: Nintendo 64 / 3DS
Genre: 3rd Person Action-Adventure
Developer: Nintendo
About: Unique spin on the Legend of Zelda formula, where Link is stuck replaying the same three days over and over again. By making new discoveries each time, he can eventually save the world from destruction.
Positives: This is possibly the most original game that I have played. The "Groundhog Day" theme is very unique in a video game and in my opinion, Majora's Mask executes it perfectly. To add difficultly, I try to avoid looking at Link's notes and remember events that are due to happen at a particular place and time.
Negatives:
Played through 3DS version in 2016. - DirectorPaul DeNigrisStarsGary MoodySpencer ProkopRic SpiegelThe Age of Kings is set in the Middle Ages and contains thirteen playable civilizations.My rating: 9.8/10
Platform: Windows PC
Genre: Isometric Real-Time Strategy
Developer: Ensemble Studios
About: Medieval era themed multiplayer RTS.
Positives: In my opinion, this is the greatest RTS of all time for multiplayer, which still holds up today. The races are well balanced and their are options to benefit many different play styles, making you less predictable to your opponent.
Negatives: Trebuchets are over-powered and limit the strategy of both teams when one decides to build their siege around them. The computer AI is predictable and poor. It is easy to exploit, even on the hardest difficultly.
Started playing in early 2000s. Still play today on occasion. - StarsSara KestelmanNicky KattRoger Guenveur SmithYou play an exiled and depowered Jedi Knight who has returned to the Republic and must restore both your powers and the devastated Jedi Order to challenge the Sith.My rating: 9.8/10
Platform: Mircosoft Xbox
Genre: Third Person Role-Playing Game
Developer: Obsidian Entertainment / Bioware
About: Star Wars themed role-playing game set in a universe many years prior to the setting of the movies.
Positives: The first role-playing game of this kind that I played. The game was so deep and enthralling that I was instantly hooked. The amount of options you had, not only in your combat choices but in your dialogue which effectively alters your path towards good or evil in the game, the choices you make, can have permanent effects on the game's outcome.
Negatives: Some frame-rate drops.
Completed two play-throughs in mid 2000s. - DirectorCasey HudsonStarsJennifer HaleRaphael SbargeRafael FerrerA republic soldier, training to become a Jedi Knight, is given the task of halting the conquest of Darth Malak by discovering the location of a weapon known as the Star Forge.My rating: 9.8/10
Platform: Mircosoft Xbox
Genre: Third Person Role-Playing Game
Developer: Bioware
About: Star Wars themed role-playing game set in a universe many years prior to the setting of the movies.
Positives: It took me a while, but I played through the original KOTOR nearly a decade after playing the second one. The game is equally as satisfying as the second and I would highly recommend both games.
Negatives: Some frame-rate drops.
Completed play through in 2015. - DirectorGregg MaylesStarsChris SutherlandGrant KirkhopeEveline FischerThe witch Gruntilda has captured Banjo's beloved sister, intending to leech the girl's youth and beauty through black magic and mad science. Banjo and Kazooie set out across nine worlds to get her back.My rating: 9.7/10
Platform: Nintendo 64 / 3DS
Genre: 3D Platformer
Developer: Rare
About: Funny and brilliant 3D puzzle platformer where you control Banjoe and Kazooie as they infiltrate the witch's castle and search for Banjoe's sister.
Positives: With the abundance of Super Mario 64 clones and rip-offs, Rare got it right with Banjoe Kazooie by improving on the formula. The level design and puzzles in this game are amazing and the game proves to be fairly difficult. To top it off, Rare added their bizarre personality and humor into the game.
Negatives:
Started playing early 2000s. Played through in 2015. - DirectorShigeru MiyamotoStarsCharles MartinetLeslie SwanWhen the evil Bowser steals 120 power stars and traps Princess Peach within the walls of her own castle, it's up to Mario to save her once again.My rating: 9.7/10
Platform: Nintendo 64
Genre: 3D Platformer
Developer: Nintendo
About: The great original 3D puzzle platforming experience where you control Mario as he attempts to rescue Peach from Bowser.
Positives: It's still hard to believe the quality of the 3D platforming and puzzles in Super Mario 64 despite it being one of the first games of this kind.
Negatives: Mario exits each world automatically when he fetches a star, rather than giving the player the option to play on to retrieve the other stars.
Played through in 2010. - DirectorMario GalardoStarsMichael IronsideClaudia BessoDon JordanProving you can't keep a good agent down, Sam Fisher returns for this third undercover outing, which takes him deep inside North Korea on an information warfare mission.My rating: 9.7/10
Platform: Mircosoft Xbox
Genre: Third Person Stealth
Developer: Ubisoft
About: The ultimate stealth game has you control Sam Fisher in an alternate mid 2000s era as he investigates war conspiracies in Korea.
(Single player campaign and co-op campaign as well as versus mode)
Positives: The third entry perfects the game-play established in the first two games and also adds a brilliant co-op mode.
Negatives:

Completed multiplayer play through in 2015. - DirectorEiji AonumaYoichi YamadaYoshiaki KoizumiStarsNobuyuki HiyamaFujiko TakimotoJun MizusawaA young Kokiri boy discovers that his destiny is to free the Seven Sages and save the land of Hyrule from the treacherous sorcerer Ganondorf.My rating: 9.7/10

Negatives:
Played through original version in 2011. - DirectorTodd HowardStarsSean BeanLynda CarterTerence StampAfter being freed by the Emperor of Tamriel, the hero must prevent the gates of Oblivion from spreading throughout the Empire.My rating: 9.7/10
Platform: Xbox 360
Genre: 3rd Person Action Role-Playing (Single player story mode only)
Developer: Bethesda
About: Fantasy themed open world role playing at its best.
Positives: There were so many good quests in this game that I barely bothered with the main story. The quality and detail that went into the game was amazing. You can even pick up and read the books from the shelves. Although the combat is not perfect, it is quite fun after you level up a skill such as archery.
Negatives: The game is essential broken due to a poorly designed game engine. When over 100 hrs in, the Xbox version required more frequent load screens when exploring and became frustrating and near unplayable at a point. As the game is very long and time consuming and you may find more enjoyment in playing through the newer Skyrim or the Mass Effect or Witcher series of games.
Played through in 2008. Played through again in 2010. - Labyrinthine top-down scroller in which you must lead two heroes to diffuse bombs and destroy evil robots.My rating: 9.7/10
Platform: Commodore Amiga
Genre: Top-Down Run & Gun (Single & co-op arcade story mode)
Developer: Sega
About: Arcade co-op style shooter where your objective is to plant bombs in the designated locations in maze-like levels, then get the heck out of there.
Positives: This is a fast and fun experience that is best enjoyed with a friend, as you can flank the enemies and cover more ground. The Amiga version is the best and fastest version and has you constantly on your toes. The cover system was very unique at the time.
Negatives: The console version is the only one currently available, which is much slower and does not properly implement the cover system. Some of the bridge crossing type events, where you have to time your approach are not well done and the game would be better without these.
Started playing in mid to late 1990s. Still play today but haven't managed to complete all the missions successfully. - DirectorMasayuki HorikawaStarsMichihiko HagiAtsuko EnomotoJuri TakitaNot all is well in the land of Tellius, as the nation Daein invades Crimea. Only Ike, and his group of mercenaries can stop Daein from spreading its terror.My rating: 9.7/10
Title: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (2005)
Platform: Nintendo Gamecube
Genre: Tactical Role-Playing Game (Single Player story mode only)
Developer: Intelligent Systems / Nintendo
About: Control Ike and his mercenaries as they fight the mad king Ashnard for their lands and for peace. This is a very difficult tactical experience which caused me to rage quit probably more than any other similar game. You will develop your characters skills as you play each mission as well as recruiting more to the cause. Death is permanent for your characters, which can make the game very difficult to complete if you haven't planned carefully.
Positives: The difficultly, the tactics and the level design and the length of the game all make this thoroughly enjoyable. You can turn off the combat animations as the become annoying after a while.
Negatives: I'm personally not a fan of some of the Japanese anime themes. The laguz are annoying to use and to verse in the game as they require a consumable stone to be effective for only a short number of turns. The game can become impossibly if you do not grind with the right characters experience.
Completed full play through in 2015. - DirectorTaeko KanedaStarsJason AdkinsEd BednarzikJanet DayThe sequel to Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. This game takes place in Tellus, 3 years after the Mad Kings War took place. A rebel group called "Dawn Brigades" is fighting battles and war is brewing between the Nations.My rating: 9.6/10
Platform: Nintendo Wii
Genre: Tactical Role-Playing Game (Single Player story mode only)
Developer: Intelligent Systems / Nintendo
About: Great sequel to Path of Radiance.
Positives: While not quite as good as its predecessor, the quality tactics, difficulty and level design are retained in the sequel. The game is very long and enjoyable throughout.
Negatives: I wasn't a fan of the requirement to play as two separate armies. The laguz and the grinding problems were not improved upon. The game does not improve and of the flaws of the previous entry.
Completed full play through in 2015. - StarsShannon FinnRoger JacksonJarion MonroeTake control of a transforming mech in Los Angeles and clean up the crime that is running rampant throughout. Use powerful weapons to destroy anything in your way, remember...serve, protect and survive.My rating: 9.6/10
Platform: Sony Playstation
Genre: Third-Person Shooter
Developer: Electronic Arts
About: This is a fast action game that is the last in EA's "Strike Series." This entry is much different to its predecessors and adds the ability to play co-op through the campaign as well as a unique versus mode.
Positives: The game-play is very fun and the best that I have played in the genre. It is Arcade-like while adding a bit more depth. The way the game is presented is great as it seems to have a "cool factor" not seen in many games. The co-op is very good as you have to work closely with each other as you share health with your team-mate. The versus mode is unique and original and provides a different game-play experience.
Negatives: There are no check-points during the long missions, meaning that you will be sent back to the start, even if you die fighting the main boss at the end of a level. This is not so bad if you are aware of it, but during your first play-through, this is frustrating to discover if you weren't expecting it. - DirectorTim SchaferStarsRichard Steven HorvitzNikki RappStephen StantonRaz, a young psychic, must battle forces greater than he if he is to save his new-found friends at the Whispering Rock psychic camp, where children are having their brains mysteriously stolen.My rating: 9.6/10
Platform: Microsoft Xbox
Genre: 3D Platformer
Developer: Double Fine
About: Unique 3D platformer where you control Razputin who wields a bunch physic powers, and you explore both the real world and in worlds inside people's minds.
Positives: This is probably the most unique experience in terms of platforming game-play. The level design is also very unique and creative and some of the missions are highly memorable. Some of the powers such as levitation allow for platforming game-play not seen in other games.
Negatives: The point of no return and the lack of replay value without restarting the game over really stop this from being the perfect game that it could have been.
Played through in 2015. - DirectorGonzo SuárezStarsDwight D. EisenhowerAlfred JodlBernard L. MontgomeryTaking place during the second World War, a small hand-picked team of Commandos must carry out dangerous but crucial sabotage missions, using guerilla combat and stealth.My rating: 9.6/10
Platform: Windows PC
Genre: Isometric Real-Time Tactics
Developer: Pyro Studios
About: World-War 2 themed stealth orientated tactical masterpiece.
Positives: This is a brilliant game that requires patience and wit for the most part, then bursts of quick mouse and keyboard mashing. The levels are highly difficult to complete on the first attempt, which is ok as there are quick-save and quick-load hotkeys. You study the enemy patrols and watch their line of sights and their patterns to determine the most efficient way to complete take them out of sneak past them as you complete your objectives. Each commandos have different abilities which can be used to benefit the mission. At the end of the mission, you are graded which leads to promotions and if you played well enough, you will unlock the final mission.
Negatives: Sometimes enemy patrols will not notice a body in their peripheral vision until they have passed it a few times, which may cause you to fail the mission if you used a quick-save assuming that the body wouldn't be noticed. The voice acting can be annoying and sometimes the voices of the commandos gets mixed up. Both the 'select commando' and 'click to move to location' features use the left-click mouse button which can be annoying when you are trying to move two or more commandos into a tight space to hide, and you end up selecting another commando instead of moving the one you have selected.

Platform: Mircosoft Xbox 360
Genre: Thrid Person Action Role-Playing Game
Developer: Bioware
About:
Positives: The second entry fixed most of the poor, forced combat implementation from the first game and brings it to a level that would actually be half decent on its own if it were a non-RPG game. The missions are rich and the story is intriguing. The customization of your crew's abilities and weapons allows for many tactical options in combat.
Negatives: The mini-game where you launch probes onto planets and moons to gather resources is very dull and boring and should not have been included as an essential part of the game-play. It becomes a chore.
Completed play through in 2010. - StarsJon BaileyJohn Eric BentleyBrian BloomThreatened by an unknown enemy, Earth's governments unite to form an elite paramilitary organization, known as XCOM. As the commander of XCOM, you control the global defense team in a battle against a terrifying alien invasion.My rating: 9.5/10
Platform: Windows PC / Xbox 360
Genre: Tactical Role-Playing Game
Developer: Firaxis
About: This is a brilliant remake of the original UFO: Enemy Unknown from 1995. The game combines turn-based tactical combat with base building and research.
Positives: The fear of venturing into the unknown is my favourite thing about the X-Com series. It is nerve racking, suspenseful and exciting as you try to flank the enemy that you cannot yet see. The possibility of the permanent death of your squad members adds to the suspense when exploring into the fog.
Negatives: I am not a fan of the base building element of the game personally. It is well executed, but is not near the same level as the tactical combat and it is too time-consuming for my liking. The character customization feels limited and slightly generic to where it should be.
Started playing in 2015. - DirectorMark McCoyStarsRobin Atkin DownesStefan MarksThe third game in the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series, Raven Shield once again puts you in control of the elite counter-terrorism team known as Rainbow.My rating 9.5/10
Platform: Windows PC / Xbox (Different version)
Genre: Tactical Shooter
Developer: Red Storm
About: One of the best first person tactical shooters I have played. I originally played through the Xbox version and have more recently played the PC version as well as the numerous expansions and stand-alone games made for this. I would say that the PC version is the best overall but all are worth playing for different experiences in my opinion.

- Cannon Fodder is an action shoot 'em up game.My rating: 9.5/10
Platform: Commodore Amiga
Genre: Isometric Real-Time Tactics
Developer: Sensible Software
About: Classic isometric view run & gun style game with tactical elements.
Positives: The game is fast and fun and easy to pick up and play for a few minutes at a time without committing. The game is becomes very challenging after mission 6 and completing these missions without losing your initial soldiers (Jools and Jops) is very satisfying.
Negatives: The soldiers don't like passing obstacles and get stuck easily making them vulnerable to enemy grenades and bazookas even though you had clicked to move them. The 'Evil Kenevil' mission phase looks cool but isn't well executed. The throw grenade command should have a separate button on the keyboard, rather than dual clicking the mouse.

About: The first one that I played in the series (This is the stand-alone expansion from the second game). Mission were quick but highly challenging.
Positives: The tactical elements in planning your missions in this game blew me away at the time when I first played this.
Negatives: The stealth missions are trial and error to complete because you can't really hide. So if you try enough times, you will work out the safe route to not get seen.

- DirectorJon KnolesStarsWeena MercaturBob BergenJohn CyganYou are the protector of Luke Skywalker.My rating: 9.1/10
Platform: Nintendo 64
Genre: 3rd Person Shooter
Developer: Lucas Arts
About: Spin-off from the main story where you play as Dash Rendar to help Luke and Leia Skywalker against Prince Xizor.
Positives: The game was very unique at the time of release, with different gameplay types in some of the levels. I always will remember that level where you unlock the jet pack and island hop over the canyon and then take down an AT-ST.
Negatives: The camera angles and controls can be frustrating. The Mos Eisley level is easily the worst and is frustrating to play due to this. The challenge points in this level are nearly impossible to collect due to the time constraint in taking out all the bikes while battling bad handling and controls for the bike.
Started playing in mid to late 1990s. - DirectorSergey OrlovskiyStarsLynne AdamsSonja BallTyrone BenskinMy rating: 9.1/10
Platform: Windows PC
Genre: Tactical Role-Playing Game
About: Tactical RPG with an alternate WW2 setting. Quite similar to the XCOM series. Probably one of the earliest release tactical games that I can think of with a dynamic environment that changes during gameplay such as parts of buildings being destroyed by grenades.
Positives: The difficulty in the early level designs is very satisfying. The destructive environment adds alot of options to the player but also the enemy in combat. The amount of weapons available adds to the already rich strategy elements.
Negatives: There are some random game breaking glitches that appear often during a long battle. The method for collecting and storing enemy items takes too much time. The voice acting is terrible and annoying if left on. The panzerkleins are over-powered but can easily defeat each other. However, if you decide to use them, they take up too many action points, limiting your tactical options. It is a shame, as this had potential to be up there with X-Com.

Genre: First Person Tactical Shooter
Developer: Red Storm
About: Originally played through this one on the Nintendo 64. While the game wasn't as good as the second one, it had split screen co-op which was pretty fun at the time.
Positives: Good tactical shooter, with option for co-operative play in the campaign.
Negatives: Stealth missions are trial and error as you cannot properly hide. N64 version requires controller pack for saves. The PS1 version is a completely different game and is terrible in comparison.

About:
Positives:
Negatives: Clunky and frustrating combat with some bad frame rate drops that happen at the worst time. They would have been better to go with the Knights of the Old Republic style of combat.
Completed play through in 2008. - As the world of today slipped into the future, multinational corporations grew in size and profit. They came into positions to own small countries and to exercise direct influence over the world's governments. They practically became the world 's governments, undemocratically controlling the lives of people through commerce. These corporations became known as Megacorps. A European Megacorp invented the CHIP, which is a device that is inserted into the neck and stimulates the brain stem to alter a persons perception of the outside world. The CHIP numbs a person's senses to the misery and squalor around them better than any drug and sold millions around the world. It could convince a user that the sun shone when it was raining and that they were more beautiful than they really were. The CHIP, like some drugs, also made the user open to auto-suggestion, allowing them to be manipulated by the Megacorps. The CHIP became a perfect tool for the Megacorps to manipulate the populace and to gain power with. It didn't take long before the Megacorps were corrupted and became crime Syndicates, fighting amongst each other for monopoly over CHIP manufacturing and control over the world.
- DirectorMarcus LehtoStarsFreddy BoscheAlona TalJamie HectorA highly-trained branch of the UNSC known as the Noble Team must defend the planet of Reach from a massive Covenant invasion.My rating: 9.0/10
Platform: Microsoft Xbox 360
Genre: First Person Shooter
Developer: Bungie
About: Prequel to the original Halo trilogy. You control Noble Six as you defend the world, Reach, from Covenant aliens.
Positives: There were no annoying "Flood" enemies to kill. The game feels faster than Halo 3, and also adds a sprint feature. The weapons and vehicles feel better balanced than in previous entries. The large levels are great for LANs and the ability to "forge" your own levels and download levels from other players was a great feature. When hosting matches, you can customize nearly everything to your liking including gravity, speed, health and shields.
Negatives: Although unique at the time, the power-ups were gimmicky. I feel that that the sprint, invisibility and hologram features were very good but the armor lock and jet pack are annoying in multiplayer. Rocket Launchers are still somewhat overpowered as well as grenades, which get way over-used in online matches (Opponents throwing grenades at your feet and then entering armor lock instead of going for the shield then the headshot, as you would do in previous games), which is frustrating.

About: Solid return to the classic Sonic game-play style with a mixture of 2D and 3D platforming in most courses.
Positives: Fast and fun. Lots of replay value in attempting to get better scores in each course.
Negatives: The use of the "Colour" power-ups are gimmicky do not add anything positive to the core gameplay.

Title: Valkyria Chronicles 2
Platform: PSP
Genre: Tactical Role-Playing Game with Real Time Combat
Developer: Sega
About: This sequel to Sega's Valkyrie Chronicles on PS3 is a handheld exclusive and takes place 2 years after the events of the first game. The game appears to be loosely based on World War 2, with the war initiating from nonsensical racism. Supernatural elements are added with old technology of a parallel 1930s-1940s universe.
Positives: The core gameplay during battle is both improved and accelerated (You do not have to watch the enemy movement in real-time). You also have more unit types which can be individually customized to suit your tactical approach. Pre-set groups can be saved to speed up the micromanagement before battles so that you can use a group optimized for the mission type. As with the first game, the pencil shaded art style is well done and very unique.
Negatives: The map sizes are considerably smaller than they were in the first game and it feels that you are constantly replaying the same maps, but with differently laid out cover and weather elements. The amount of units that can be deployed at a time is less, although you don't have to deploy the tanks anymore. The maps are also split into different sections, which was a good idea, but does not work well with only the 6 units available to spread among the sections of the map.
The story is beyond stupid as you are meant to be fighting in a civil war, but they manage to force in a Japanese High School Drama??? At some points, they add in some weird sexual references and Japanese anime clitches, which is disappointing, as the first game only had very little of this.

About: Control ex-convict Marcus Phoenix and the other "Gears", as they battle to save the world from the enemy insect themed "Locust" after they rise up out of the ground and attack humanity.
Positives: Solid 3rd person shooter with tactical elements. One of the best co-op games available at the time.
Negatives: The controls and cover systems are very clunky. The multiplayer portion is obsolete once you have Gears of War 2, which is superior in every way in my opinion, so the only benefit of playing this game now is the missions in the campaign. - DirectorMichael M.

Genre: Adventure
About: The third game in the series and the first to move away from point-and-click controls, you control George Stobbart and Nicole Collard as their stories intertwine and they uncover a mad conspiracy.
Positives:
Negatives: There is no replay value. Some of the puzzles have only one way to be solved, but in real life, there are other options. Some progression only triggered when a certain item is found. The ending portion of the game was brief and felt rushed. It was a let down compared to the way the story unfolds throughout the rest of the game.

Developer: Neversoft
About:
Positives: In my opinion, this was the best of the series. There were less annoying non-skating activities than in THUG1 and the ones that were in it were better done. The abilities to revert, run and level out make the skating experience much better than in the Pro Skater series.
The level designs in this game were top notch and the game included both the Underground Gameplay along with the classic gameplay, which was missing from THUG1.

About:
Positives: Possibly the best sports sim of all time when released. The game-play was solid and there were a tonne of new features.
Negatives: Online matches were random PvP, rather than allowing you to join from a dedicated server. 2K shut down servers after 2K12 was released which caused the loss of sharing of created content by players. Gameplay wise, passing into the post is not realistic as the ball is intercepted far too often. There is still a lack of post and dribble moves in this game and there are many exploits, although, less than in previous basketball games that I have played. - DirectorSefton HillStarsMark HamillKevin ConroyArleen SorkinBatman battles his archenemy, the Joker, who instigates an elaborate plot to seize control of Arkham Asylum, trap Batman inside with many of his incarcerated foes, and threaten Gotham City with hidden bombs.My rating 8.5/10
