No particular order, generally grouped by system…these are all games that at one time or another really struck a nerve. Due to the improving effects of nostalgia and my impressionable youth, most of the titles are from the old days. Sorry Madden ’93, no room for you.
FAlOUT is made with WIN!
Interesting how times change, although there’s a lot of crossover between this and today’s list (also no Rez… I didn’t really get into the game until well after Rez HD was released).
