So you can get to know the main blog writer, I've put together a list of my favorite games ever. As my library of played games exceeds 500 or so, this list represents the top 10%. Some genres aren't represented here but that doesn't mean I didn't like games in them. I can post some honorable mentions later.
Now, in no particular order...

Perhaps the most influencial shooters of all time.

The only true successor to Far Cry 1

Not System Shock 3, but good enough
