MikeT14 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 This thread won't be a ranking of my favorite games ever in order (although most would probably make the list since they've been played the most). I just tried to sit here and rank what I believed to be my 25 most played games of all time. None of this is really pulled from information or Steam or anything, just best guesses. The list (which I arbitrarily made 24 and gave up), is mostly comprised of a lot of games that I have come back to time and time again over the years. I never had a Nintendo or Super Nintendo, so you won't find any of those games on here. Breakdowns (and note some games overlap systems): 1 Gameboy, 1 Mobile, 2 N64, 8 PC, 3 Playstation, 4 Playstation 3, 3 Playstation 4, 2 Playstation 5, 1 Sega Genesis, 3 XBox, 3 XBox 360 I tried to keep this with individual games and not series per say (so no NCAA series, Madden series, etc). 24. NBA Jam: TE 23. THPS2 22. Twisted Metal 2 21. NBA Live 2005 20. Persona 5/Persona 5 Royal 19. Final Fantasy VII 18. Goldeneye 17. Mario Kart 16. The Sims 15. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare 14. NCAA Football 06 13. XCom 2/War of the Chosen 12. Age of Empires II 11. Runescape 10. Halo 2 9. Call of Duty: MW2 8. Zeus: Master of Olympus 7. Madden 2004 6. Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow 5. Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 4. Apex Legends 3. League of Legends 2. NCAA Football 14 1. Hearthstone I'm curious to hear from you all too. What do you think your most played games ever are? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 #24: NBA Jam: T.E. - Sega Genesis/Arcade The original game that led to so many fights with my brother. I would play this for hours and hours - either solo or with my brother, coming up with new and creative ways to play - hot spots, three pointers only, dunks only, etc. Arguing over who got to be the Lakers was always fun (mostly because it's not like their team was even great then).

MikeT14 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 #23: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Probably the original game to make me fall in love with soundtracks on video games. I spent most of my time in career mode, but a lot of time was spent in free skate trying to rack up the biggest combo so that I could tell my friends and beat their score. I also spent a fair amount of time in level editor trying to create my own fun parks. Bucky Lasek was my go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 #22: Twisted Metal 2 Boy did I love to play as Axel. Rarely did I play as anyone else. My brother (who usually played as Mr. Slam), and I would run through countless attempts to beat it. We were successful, but not nearly as often as we'd hoped. It wasn't easy for us at age 9 and 7 respectively. Paris was probably my favorite level. I did manage to see everyone's ending at some point though. Trying to remember who I had the hardest time with. I think it was Grasshopper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT14 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 #21: NBA Live 2005 The introduction of the complete All-Star Weekend with a lot of tricks did it for me. I loved the slam dunk contest in this. But my absolute favorite addition to this was being able to jump into a game mid game as it simmed. Often I would see my team in a tight one after three quarters and I would play the 4th. I LOVED that. This was senior year of high school for me. I took dual enrollment classes, so I didn't actually go in to high school until around 11 am. So MWF I had about 1.5 hours to play every morning, and TTh even longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the abilities they added to players ex sharpshooter, highflyer etc. Dunk contest as you said was awesome too, it was so hard Edited March 29, 2022 by JBURGE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw? Outlaw yeah. Warthog was the commando vehicle, and I think Minion was a tank but also a boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally forgot until I looked up the trailer but they had that alley oop button! I spammed that too because you could throw them from anywhere. Oh man that game was fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
