    My Favorite Games

    This is a list of my Favorite Games of all time. It's difficult to choose certain games over others because there's so many great games, and even harder to put them in a certain order. So instead of putting them in order like I did previously I'm going to list my favorite games for each system, it's easier this way. I'll be adding more games to this list over time.

    Favorite Wii Games:

    Super Smash Bros Brawl

    Smash Bros Brawl Boxart

    Super Smash Bros Brawl has taken Melee's place as my favorite fighting game. It's better in every way possible and has one of the best soundtracks ever put into a videogame. A truly great game.

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    Twilight Princess Boxart

    The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has to be my favorite Zelda game to date. It's just a massive game, with awesome gameplay and a truly great soundtrack. Link's always been my favorite character. I feel he's best represented in this game, more so than any other Zelda game.

    Super Mario Galaxy

    Super Mario Galaxy Boxart

    Super Mario Galaxy is my favorite 3D Mario game. Overall it has the best graphics, gameplay and soundtrack. I enjoyed it the most out of all the 3D Mario games, but I found it to be a bit too easy compared to the other two.

    Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

    Resident Evil 4 Boxart

    Residen Evil 4: Wii Edition is easily my favorite RE game to date. This game has the best controls in any RE. The gameplay is so satisfying, shooting Ganados in the head and watching them explode never gets old. The extra missions with Ada Wong are great and being able to play through the game multiple times to unlock new costumes and weapons is pretty awesome.

    Mario Kart Wii

    Mario Kart Wii Boxart

    Mario Kart Wii is a great racing game. Online multi-player is the best thing about this game. It's also one of the more challenging Mario Kart games, but that's due to the inbalance of items. And even though you need to rely on luck a little more than skill, there's an awesome selection of tracks and nice roster of characters.

    Endless Ocean

    Endless Ocean Boxart

    Endless Ocean is really a brilliant game. It's so relaxing just sitting back and playing this game helps relieve stress. I've spent countless hours just swimming around taking pictures and interacting with all the different fish. It's a very nice change of pace if you want to play something different for a change.

    Favorite Gamecube Games:

    Super Smash Bros Melee

    Smash Bros Melee Boxart

    The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker

    Windwaker Boxart

    The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, easily one of the best Zelda games ever. It's such a unique looking game being cell-shaded. Although it's also one of the easier Zelda games, it's also one of the funest. Being able to sail around on the ocean is one of the many things that makes this game so great.

    Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

    Eternal Darkness Boxart

    Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a masterpiece. The way this game plays with your mind is unbelievable. No other game does what this one does. One of the best games ever made.

    Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

    Thousand Year Door Boxart

    Super Mario Sunshine

    Mario Sunshine Boxart

    Super Mario Sunshine is a great game. It's the most challenging of all the 3D Mario games and it's also the only 3D Mario game that lets you ride on Yoshi, just being able to do that makes playing this game worthwhile. Taking place on Delfino Isle gives it a nice change of pace with different scenery then most Mario games have. And Bowser actually talks in this game!

    Favorite N64 Games:

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

    Ocarina of Time Boxart

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I can beat this game within 24 hours, playing straight through and collecting everything except all of the Gold Skulltulas. Definitely one of the best games of all time. A lot of fond memories with this game.

    Super Smash Bros

    Super Smash Bros Boxart

    Banjo Tooie

    Banjo Tooie Boxart

    Donkey Kong 64

    Donkey Kong 64 Boxart

    Conker's Bad Fur Day

    Conker's Bad Fur Day Boxart

    Goldeneye 007

    Goldeneye 007 Boxart

    Favorite SNES Games:

    Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

    Super Mario RPG Boxart

    Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. It goes beyond being Epic...if there is such a thing. This is my absolute favorite game of all time. I really love this game to the point of being overly obsessed with it. I can play it over and over and never get tired of it. It's my favorite Mario game and RPG ever. It has the most memorable soundtrack I've ever heard in a videogame. And Geno is pure awesomeness.

    Chrono Trigger

    Chrono Trigger Boxart

    Chrono Trigger is an epic game. Epic gameplay, epic soundtrack, epic storyline. One of the best RPG's and games ever made. It never gets boring, no matter how many times you play it.

    Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

    Donkey Kong Country 2 Boxart

    Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest is my favorite DKC game. They're all awesome, but this one is definitly my favorite. It has the best soundtrack overall and it's the hardest of the three.

    Earthworm Jim

    Earthworm Jim Boxart

    Earthworm Jim was such an awesome game when it came out. It has some of the weirdest/coolest Levels, Enemies and Bosses ever put into a videogame. The soundtrack is great, the song that plays in What the Heck is my favorite.

    Tetris Attack

    Tetris Attack Boxart

    Tetris Attack is probly the most addicitng puzzle game I've ever played, I enjoy it so much. Another great soundtrack in this game, especially once you battle Hook Bill Koopa and everyone up to Bowser. Gargantua Blarg is my favorite character, his theme is awesome too. Great, great puzzle game.

    Favorite NES Games:

    The Legend of Zelda

    Legend of Zelda Boxart

    Super Mario Bros 3

    Super Mario Bros 3 Boxart

    Megaman 3

    Just to let everyone know, including the unions I'm in.

    Just wanted to let everyone know that even though I'm usually always logged on here at Gamespot, I'm not always on the site. I like to stay logged on because I find that it levels up my account a lot faster, I'm now level 31 . I just thought it'd be a good idea to mention this because I've been getting a ton of messages lately from some of the unions I'm in. It's not that I'm ignoring you guys, I do read the messages when I have time but I've been pretty busy with work and other stuff lately. So for anyone that was wondering I hope that clears things up .

    Tired of being moderated unfairly

    Over the past few days I've been getting moderated for unfair reasons in my opinion. One was for posting a pic of Zero Suit Samus and the other was for using the word "retarded". There were worse pics of Samus posted on that same thread, same with pics of Peach and I was the only one who got moderated? As for using the word retarded, someone had posted a video of some guy making fun of the Wii. In the video, he said he had bought and played every game he wanted for the system. Near the end of the video he took his Wii outside, put it down on the ground, pulled out a gun and shot the Wii, though it didn't show the bullet going through the Wii you could only hear the gun fire. So I said that the video was retarded because it was. How is it funny when someone makes a video of something like? It's not funny, it's insulting to the Wii and to Wii owners.

    Since I'm listing my moderations I may as well list other things I've been moderated unfairly for, some of these I didn't even know about until just recently.

    I got moderated for posting a video of Zelda in Half Life 2, apparantly it was Disruptive Posting. I don't see how when it was about Zelda and Zelda has a lot to do with the Wii. Sure it was for Half Life 2 but it had Zelda in it, you'd think it would be alright to post something like that on the Wii Forums because Wii fans would want to see something like that.

    I got moderated for standing up for Mario Party 8, apparantly is was Trolling. Some guy made a thread about Mario party 8 saying Nintendo needs to stop making Mario Party games blah blah blah. He was insulting the franchise in my opinion. So I posted a fairly long response. It was my opinion about Mario Party and what makes the games so great. All I did was talk about all the good things the games have to offer and so on, there's nothing bad about any of them. Then at the end I asked how the person who made the topic could consider themseleves a Mario Fan if they don't like Mario Party and that this thread shouldn't exist. I don't remember exactly what I said but it wasn't trolling. If that can be considered trolling than the thread should be considered trolling because that particular thread was obviously made to annoy people who like Mario Party.

    I also got moderated for posting a Super Mario Galaxy Review from Gametrailers, apparantly I was ignoring the stickied thread. How is posting a review for a game bad. People post reviews for games all the time. Yeah, there was probly a thread for Super Mario Galaxy at the time...more than one I'm sure, but I don't remember there being any threads specifically for posting reviews and if there was I was unaware of it. I was also the first person to post the review from Gametrailers, I made sure that no one else had posted this particular review yet. So it's ok for everyone else to post reviews except me, that's why I got moderated, right? That's the way I understand it.

    I'm just really sick and tired of being moderated unfairly. It seems like people are reporting me simply because they don't like me. I've seen a lot worse things being posted on the Wii Forums and no one seems to report any of it. That's discrimination.
