- DirectorDavid SpeyrerStarsRobert GuillaumeRobert CulpLouis Gossett Jr.Dr. Freeman is taken out of stasis by his "employer" to help rid the planet of invading aliens forces known as the Combine that entered through the portals he helped create.This game. THIS *beep*ING GAME. Is easily in my Top 5 of all time. For the 12 people who have a PC, 360, PS3, or Mac OSX who haven't played this game. GET THE ORANGE BOX >:-O!!!! An excellent story, unique weapons, a great cast of characters, the best graphics in 2004 (Even over Far Cry), A wonderful soundtrack (Even if a lot of the songs are from Half-Life 1), a crapload of modders on the PC version, all within a 15 hour campaign (on normal difficulty). The entire Half-Life 2 saga is more than enough to make the number 1 spot. Oh, and Valve, to any developers of yours that might be reading this, MAKE EPISODE 3 ALREADY D-:<!!!!
- DirectorKen LevineStarsJohn AhlinGreg BaldwinJane BellerIn 1960, a lone survivor of a plane crash named Jack discovers an abandoned underwater utopia, only to find out that the mystery behind its creation is much more sinister than he first believed.Welcome to Rapture. You will find it all, complete immersion to one of the best settings in a video game, unique weapons, tons of Plasmids, astounding graphics, a creepy atmosphere, an interesting story, and an ending that is actually satisfying. Would you kindly GET THIS GAME??!!!!!
- StarsKevin CloudBobby PrinceJohn RomeroDoom 2 follows the story of Doom-Guy, killing hell creatures, for the future of mankind.Old-School, baby!! One of the game franchises that forever changed gaming, Doom and Doom II has risen to a legendary status as two of the greatest games of all time. And for good reasons too. A "Who gives a damn" story, fun and challenging levels, millions of mods, good soundtrack, and the pixelated graphics have held up to the test of time. Plus Doom is on like, a wide variety of platforms.
- DirectorWarren SpectorStarsJay Anthony FrankeBrent AndersonRalph BarbagalloIn a dark cyberpunk future where poverty, disease, oppression and terrorism are widespread, J.C.

An excellent story, a lengthy campaign that has multiple ways to complete, an ok soundtrack, tons of weapons, and... dammit! Now I have to go and reinstall the game again I'll be right back *One reinstall and playthrough later..*.

- DirectorTodd HowardStarsLiam NeesonMalcolm McDowellRon PerlmanCenturies following nuclear war, a teen leaves the safety of an underground vault in order to find their father, who left in hopes of creating a water purifier.With a total of 100+ hours spent on this game and counting, this game had me hooked from the start. It isn't perfect as the character animations are CRAP, I did encounter some glitches, and the game doesn't have a whole lot of weapons (Thank you modders :-D). But still, all RPG fans should pick this game up.

The ISA goal is to capture the Helghast leader, Emperor Visari, and bring the Helghast war machine to a halt.What was quite possibly the best looking game on a console at the time, Killzone 2 really makes you feel as if you are controlling a human, not a floating camera with arms. With addictive multiplayer, an ok story, fluid and realistic animations, excellent weapon designs, and smart A.I., This game is a must own for any PS3 owner.

BF3 NOT IN TOP 10 OR NUMBER 1??!!! GO BACK TO COD YOU STUPID *beep* AND KILL YOURSELF!!!!"
Now hold on, the multiplayer is KICK ASS and a lot of fun. The reason for this being so low is because the single player is cliched and terrible and the co-op is just meh. But still if you are a fan of competitive multiplayer games you should definitely buy the Premium Edition. - StarsCarly Staehlin-TaylorA single marine crash lands on an alien planet. You mission is to destroy the bio-mechanical enemy and the big gun.

Better gameplay, a good story, a huge arsenal of killing machines, and highly customizable multiplayer. Sadly, even the 360 version of this game has bad A.I., Poor voice acting, guns that sound like crap, and some frustrating missions.
