Ok here we go again...the picking may not be as much as the before 2000 post but I think with our combined efforts we should get this done. I'll start;
1.) Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c4/GTASABOX.jpg)
I originally wasn't going to get this game because I thought the gansta angle wouldn't appeal to me. However, I'm glad that I did. The map is HUGE and the little side features like being able to change your look rocks. :thumbup:
2. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
(http://www.1pstart.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/gta-vice-city295.jpg)
I'd live in this game if I could!!! :thumbup:
3. God of War
Awesome graphics, amazing gameplay, and one kicka$$ plot with a bada$$ protagonist. If you haven't played it yet then go buy it NOW!!!

4. Final Fantasy IX :thumbup:

(http://static4.filefront.com/images/ezuodvwsxf.jpg)
In my opinion the second best in the entire series, Square combined the best elements of VII & VIII to create a unique and engrossing masterpiece. I instantly fell in love with the graphics, characters, the maps and monsters. This game did have a simple story to follow, albeit still a great one.
5.) Kingdom Hearts
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/85/Kingdom_Hearts.jpg)
You'd think mixing Disney with Final Fantasy would be a bad idea. It rocked :thumbup:
6. Devil May Cry
(http://i.testfreaks.com/images/products/600x400/237/devil-may-cry.229101.jpg)
How has this not been turned into a film??
7.) Rock Band

I'm a junky for it.
8) GRADIUS V (PS2)

9. Resident Evil 4

10.) Animal Crossing
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/82/Animal_Crossing_Coverart.png)
A highly interactive yet simple game to chill out to.
ELDER SCROLLS III: MORROWIND
Incredible storyline, great gameplay, total freedom of action . . . OBLIVION had better graphics, but MORROWIND was a far better game. Probably the best I have ever played.
12) Shadow of the Colossus
(http://www.dignews.com/admin/screenshoot/shadow_colossus_e3_01.jpg)
13) GUILTY GEAR XX: Accent Core

15) KATAMARI DAMACY (PS2) one of the weirdest but most addictive games in recent years. The sequel is equally great BTW.

20.) State Of Emergency
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/89/State-of-emergency-cover.jpg)
If anything, for the "last clone standing" feature in which you hunt down hundreds of unarmed bad guys. :teddyr:

29. Prince Of Persia
(http://videogames.lovetoknow.com/wiki/images/VideoGames/b/bd/Princeofpersiasandsoftime.jpg)
One of the best looking and funnest games I ever played, right up until the first boss, which I still to this day cannot get past after 100 different ways of trying. Love to know what the rest of it's like... :bluesad:
