This will probably be embarrassing, but:

* Super Mario Odyssey
* Super Mario Galaxy
* Mario Kart (any)
* Super Smash Brothers Brawl
# Wii Sports

Although, I can add these creds to my fame:
* Scorched Earth
* Castle Wolfenstein
* Tie Fighter
* Rayman's Raving Rabbids
* Donkey Kong
* Zork, Enchanter, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Well ... you get the idea.

I like your list.
Curious; why do you prefer Brawl over Smash 4?
I loved Brawl (played about 700 hours), but Smash 4 came along and seemingly approved upon every aspect.

I never got to play Smash 4 (for the Wii-U, right?); so I can't attest to that sorry. I skipped the Wii-U console.
Tho I can't wait to see SSB come out for the Switch!

Ah, skipping Wii U is understandable. There was also a version for 3DS.

I'm still wondering if Smash Switch will be a port of Smash 4 (like a definitive edition with all the DLC, maybe a new character or two) or a real sequel.

Don't know how I forgot Dark Souls. I still go through periods where I'll start playing again for a few weeks, and then stop for months at a time.

What are yours? And try to explain why each game has become of those top five favourites!

1) GTA Vice City - Just such a fun game with lots to do, Vigilante in the Hunter and Rhino is really cool.
2) Silent Hill 2 - I've watched so many videos of this game, it's just such a briliant game.
3) Super Mario Bros. - I have never completed it but it's just such a fun short and sweet game.
4) Pokémon Crystal - Best GBC game ever, chasing the dogs around is fun lol.
5) Animal Crossing Pocket Camp - For a freemium game it's so cute and takes me mind off things.

Mine would be
1.) Pokemon Emerald - My favorite Generation of Pokemon plus the introduction of Battle Frontier was epic.
2.) King of Fighters 1997 - My addiction to the fighting game genre started.
3.) Tekken Dark Resurrection - Still the best Tekken for me.
4.) Marvel vs. Capcom 2 - Best crossover fighting game for me (sorry BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle)
5.) Monster Hunter Generations - The difficulty and thrill of hunting.

I'm playing 'Until Dawn' right now and just now I've come to realise it might become one of my top five favourite games I've played in my whole life. I just love this kind of horror story/movie which I can get immersed into.

So then I started thinking of my top five favourite games I've played and I'm curious to hear other people's top five favourite.

Mine (in no particular order):

- Zelda Ocarina of Time N64. It was so huge in it's time. I remember my best friend and me playing it together and I got it for Christmas after thinking it was impossible to get.
- Super Smash Bros N64. Was so so much fun.
- Uncharted 1 PS3. First time I played this game I was so impressed and I loved the island and jungle settings. This game showed me what the new generation games were capable of and I was truly blown away by the jump in quality.
- Donkey Kong for the original GB. My first true game. A gift from my grandparents. I have great memories playing it in the bus when I was a kid.
- Until Dawn PS4. Mostly because I love being immersed in this type of horror story, in the woods, snowing, with mysteries, etc.

There are other great games I truly love, like The Last of Us and Bioshock, but they don't have that something special those five have for some reason or other.

What are yours? And try to explain why each game has become of those top five favourites!

1. CS GO
2. League of Legends
3. Red dead redemption
4. Doom 1993
5. Rumble Racing
