QotD: Top 5 Video Games

What's on your Top 5 video games list?

My number one video game today, would probably be World of Warcraft - mostly because it has had an exclusivity on my gaming time for the past year. I am a level 50 Night Elf Rogue, which will sound totally dorky until you get sucked in by Warcraft's evil, addictive claws. I have seen many a fine person succum.

My number one video game of all time is Super Mario Bros 3. I spent a shocking much time playing this game as a kid (and indeed all the Mario games), and can still play it again and again. 

Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo would come in third - so many fun summers playing this on multi-player mode! Its the epitome of an addictive game. These days, I think Guitar Hero probably comes close to matching it for a fun, sociable game.

Tetris remains one of the best video games ever made. Completely addictive, and never boring, you can pick it up any time and anywhere. I saw a really interesting documentary on Tetris a while back on BBC4.

An honorable mention goes to  The New Zealand Story, which is not only super-cute in a serious Kiwi on a mission sort of way, but also wins the prize for having the most stressful "your time is running out" music.
