1. Grand Theft Auto III
A genre defining moment that just blew the industry apart. I love the game and series, from the mindless violence to pass quiet moments to the often comical story lines. Can't wait for the next installment
2. Super Mario Kart (SNES)
Amazing fun and the daddy of the genre. Even better as a multiplayer despite the fact that spinning off on the last lap at rainbow road is one of the most frustrating things known to man.
3. Goldeneye 007
Amazing playability that left a legacy for all that followed. Used to love pissing my mates off with remote mines in the facility (I knew all the spawn points lol) and who can forget the 'No Oddjob' rule?
4. Championship Manager 2
The greatest management sim of them all! Wonderfully addictive and whoever says they haven't messed with the database of one of it's incarnations is a liar. Who can forget those wonder kids too? Gifton Noel-Williams anyone?
5. Pro Evolution Soccer 4 or 5
Brought football simulations to the next level and left EA's Fifa series on it's knees for many a season. Actually spent a remarkable amount of my time playing Pro over the years but it was all worth it
6. Wii Sports
Possibly the first truly 'family' game and it's importance cannot be underestimated in getting gamers active (first real steps towards vr). Plus who can forget those hilarious images of grand parents going hell for leather in the boxing lol
7. Formula One Championship Edition
Visually stunning, ridiculously realistic and probably the main reason why us F1 fans haven't seen a game for a while
How do you top this game? Not sure that you can. Great online fun too even after like 3 years after release, the sign of a great game.
8. World of Warcraft
Can't have a top ten list of games without this bad boy in there. Remarkably addictive and challenging, brought MMOs into the mainstream and no collection is complete without at least one level 80.
9. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

I might get killed for thinking this, but I do in fact consider LTTP to be slightly better than OOT. Almost every game has a few flaws, but LTTP probably comes to closest to having none whatsoever. While the original gave the blueprints for exploring a massive free roam environment, LTTP perfected it, with more dungeons, a greater variety of obstacles, cool new items like the Hookshot, more sidequests, a huge cast of NPCs and instead of one massive, wonderfully detailed overworld, you had two. SWEEEEEEEEEET. Great graphics, music and a cool backstory just add to the emmersive effect of what is easly the best SNES game ever

Can't disagree with that. Awesome fun!
10. Star Wars Battlefront 2
I don't know why but this game ticks boxes for me. Fun but not too serious, the best players still shine but a noob can still pick up, play and cheekily kill the best. Looking forward to the ridiculous battles of the new installment next year!
