1. Portal - Short, sweet, and to the point. Perfect package.
2. Portal 2 - Expanding anything will provide minor missteps but not enough to put it further down the list.
3. Half-Life 2 - No comment necessary?
4. Commander Keen: The Armageddon Machine - This series and my childhood are synonymous. Put together by Apogee & id Software (Apogee went on to be 3D Realms, and we all know what they went on to do), a great game for sure.
5. Team Fortress 2 - Endless hours of fun. What, 500 or some hours on my Steam profile alone?
6. Persona 3 - If you want to do a JRPG right, this is it.
7. Chrono Trigger - Greatest SNES game of all time. Period.
8. Megaman 2 - Greatest NES game of all time. Period.
9. Final Fantasy XII - Hate me for it, I don't care. Loved the story/battle system, overall favorite FF game.
10. Super Smash Brothers Melee - When I was in the military we would have SSBM tourneys. Good times.
11. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Another nostalgic favorite. Still play it today.
12. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Bioware's test bed for the ME series, and a stellar game in it's own right.
13. Mass Effect - Amazing RPG. Loved it, though I was disappointed in ME2 for the way they stripped so many RPG elements out.
14. Doom 3 - The first PC I ever built was built so I could play this game.
15. Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty - Continuing on a great legacy, Blizzard hit it out of the park with this one.
I considered putting World of Warcraft on this list, but honestly? I don't enjoy that game without the social aspect. I have a hard time saying a game that is a social experience could be in my top 15. Shout-outs go to Deus Ex, Myst, POD, Major Stryker, and so many more. Hard list to narrow down to just 15.
