Every February on whatever message board I'm hanging out on, I try to have a little stupid fun and do a theme month. Didn't pull it off last month, but usually it works out. Anyway this year, I'd like to present my Top 28 games of all time. This is a list I've been thinking about during a lot of down time at work for the past week, and I'm actually pretty proud of it. It's just my list of favorites, so there will be several games you've never heard of or at least never played. And there will likely be some that you'll go, "seriously? you like that turd?" Well, fuck you in advance. It's my list and I love it.
Anyway, I'll be posting one game a day with a blurb about why I love it so until the month is over, with my number 1 game being presented on Feb 28. Before we begin here is a semi-sorta sneak preview. Just a quick list of the honorable mentions. The ones that came so close and yet..... not good enough.

Overall --EXCELLENT-- list!
Yep.
Actually, one of the best I've read due to not being full of boring, obvious choices.
Thank you gentlemen. Glad you enjoyed it. Hell I'm just glad you read it. Whenever you put this much work into something you always wonder.... is anyone even going to read this shit?
Nice list overall, a fun read.
No Super Mario Brothers 3 though?
DQ8 is a masterpiece.
Is Mother 3 a bit deeper than Earthbound? I found Earthbound to be superficially cool but not have any sort of sustaining tie.
At least once a month. My copy of Persona 3 is still sealed.
Wow. Most people who play even deep into it don't finish it. I have to play 7 (hopefully on 3DS) before moving onto 8.
Mother 3 is so much better than Earthbound. I really didn't like Earthbound, and that's what kept me away from this game for as long as I did. The pacing is just about where it should be. The story is much deeper. There's stuff going on with all the characters and a few who aren't part of the team. It all makes for a much more enjoyable experience.
I hate to say it, but I cant recommend 7 to too many people. Its a real time sink, and there are just huge stretches where you're doing nothing. Then again if you liked DQ6 you may enjoy this. It's cut from the exact same mold, though they've made it much much bigger.
