Top 20 games for each console?

[fleabag]

Can someone clue me into what they think or what is unanimously agreed to be a list of the top 20 games for each gaming console? Maybe even 30 games if the console has a lot of hits..


I'm mostly concerned with the PSX and PS2 but definately interested in others.

Go to metacritic.com to check ratings.

Why don't you make up your own list then?

Because I didn't quite grow up with the PSX. I was hoping that people would start spewing names of games they liked, we'd vote and it'd go from there.

For me......

PSX -> Twisted Metal 4, Tekken 3, Crash Team Racing, Street Fighter Ex2 Plus, Gran Turismo 2
PS2 -> GoW1/2, DMC1-3, Onimusha 1-3, PoP1, Ghost Recon (original)
GameCube -> Metriod Prime (buy a used GC for 40 bucks and this game for 10...it's worth the $50 investment)

That's my tops....I played each of those waaay to much back in HS/College.

Castlevania SOTN should be in the top 3 if we are only talking PSX, that's my feeling at least. The fact that it doesn't show in the top 20 is quite disturbing.
