    With all the bickering on the thread about the Irish Times' top 50 list, I thought it would be good for the forumites to have their own say, see just how different their list would be.


    so here's how it goes.

    - List your top 10 in order
    - Multiplatform games count as one, so no need to name the specific console.
    - Please don't use this thread to belittle each other's choices, there's plenty of other places to do that.
    - Please only post your list once, edits can be made til voting ends
    - your number 1 will score 10 points, number 2 gets 9 points, etc.

    Voting will end midnight Sunday, and I'll compose a top 50 on Monday, with countbacks used to seperate tied games.

    So let the voting begin.

    1- Super Mario World
    2- Metroid Prime (Wii version)
    3- Return Fire (3DO)
    4- Thunderforce IV
    5- TLoZ: Ocarina of Time
    6- MSR (Dreamcast)
    7- Ico
    8- SotC
    9- TLoU
    10- Silent Hill 2


    As much as I love Halo, COD2, Need for Speed, Road Rash and so so many others, there just isn't room in simply 10!
    And this is a very subjective 10, 10 games that I had the most fun with or had a transformative action on my gaming life.
