The single-player campaign was also one of the best in franchise history. The game also introduced the map- and mode-making toolset, Forge, which would go on to be a defining feature of the series. It would be among the final Halo games developed by Bungie before it exited the series and Microsoft's Industries took control.
If you're curious where Halo 3 lands on our overall list, check out our Halo mainline series ranking. Read our Halo 3 review. The four-player co-op shooter takes place after a zombie outbreak and your job is to take them out with your squad mates in a variety of settings.
The game had more than just mindless zombie hordes to overcome; it also featured numerous different zombie types, including the horrifying Witch and the hulking Boomer.
Who could forget Limbo? The tone of Limbo is eerie, and the fact that the small child you control can, and often does, die in horrible ways in this black-and-white side-scrolling game is something few who played the game will ever forget. The game's ending led to many different interpretations of what actually happened and what it all means, and that mystery is part of what made the game so memorable.

It also introduced the world to Commander Shepard, who is now one of gaming's most recognizable characters. Mass Effect was praised for its powerful storyline, its many and varied characters and choice-based dialogue, and its setting.
Lesser-loved elements like vehicle navigation and combat would be improved upon in subsequent installments, as well as the retooled trilogy released in Read our Mass Effect review. Valve's puzzle game sees players controlling Chell in the halls of Aperture Science as she uses her portal gun to solve puzzles and figure out what was going on. The sequel not only added new equipment, but also a bigger celebrity cast, with J.
Simmons and Stephen Merchant voicing characters. The sequel also had a co-op mode for solving puzzles with friends and featured music by The National. Portal 2 still stands tall as one of the best modern puzzle games. Read our Portal 2 review.
Also released in during what was obviously an incredible year for games , Rock Band was Harmonix's successor to Guitar Hero and it turned things up to Not only could you play guitar with a plastic peripheral, but you and friends could get together and live out the fantasy of being a rock band from the comfort of your living room. The game had a drum kit and microphone as well as a bass guitar mode to complete transition from solo act to full-on band.
It was so much fun , and many have great memories of jamming out with friends late into the night. Read our Rock Band review. Super Meat Boy is one of the Xbox's most memorable games. Stacks of four will then disappear, taking the virus with them. In the first adventure on the GameBoy, Christopher Belmont takes down Dracula and rids the world of his evil ways. There are four levels that can be completed in any order, and Christopher can use sub weapons such as holy water as well as the trademark Belmont whip.
Not content with causing a ruckus in one game, he branched out and created his own series which has gone on to achieve critical acclaim the world over! You must work together with allies in the Ghoul Realm and other nice folk on your way through the game, taking care to kick the asses of all of the pretenders and invaders who want to eradicate you and the Ghoul Realm forever.
The bigger the stack, the more points you got. Either way, this was one heck of an addictive game and a fun, alternative adventure for two of my favourite characters. Up next on this list of the best Gameboy games of all time is Harvest Moon , the greatest farming simulation series of all time…. Moving on… it follows the SNES game as the second game in the Story of Seasons canon and lets gamers experience life on a farm.
Gamers upgrade tools as they progress, sort of like a farming RPG adventure. The aim of the game is to keep the farm, the pets, the crops, and your dead grandaddy happy. Like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon has a season mechanic and an in-game clock, meaning certain actions have to happen at a certain time.
DuckTales was hardly off the family TV set back in the day. Not only was it epic to watch, but it remains one of the best Gameboy games that I ever owned and still do! This is Scrooge McDuck at his finest, diving into a pool of gold coins and pogoing about on his walking stick!
How many ducks do you know that would go to the ends of the earth and even outer space just to add more treasure to their massive horde?
Well, Players take Signor Moneybags Scrooge through a series of levels collecting gold and treasure. Hop around on the moon, sneak through creepy Transylvania, and become an intrepid explorer in the Amazon. And the real hero of the show — Scrooges Cane! And instead of picking up hearts along the way, Scrooge McDuck gets his health from delicious ice creams. Dude is decadent, after all! This is also one of the best NES games of all time too and sold over 1,, copies.
What a winner! Collecting treasure is the aim of the game Wario should probably start hanging out with Scrooge McDuck , but puzzles and tricky blockades make things a lot harder for our bulbous-nosed anti-hero. He loses coins when attacked by an enemy, which is probably worse than dying for this treasure-loving sneak-thief. There are multiple hidden doors and exits to find, as well as puzzles to overcome in order to get through blocked paths or to treasure rooms.
Like Kirby, Wario has the power to take traits from enemies and use them to his advantage. Donkey Kong 2 sees Diddy and Dixie Kong taking the reigns from Donkey in their first portable adventure.
Rool has stolen Donkey Kong too! This game even came in a banana yellow cartridge for those extra simian feels. Diddy and Dixie are great heroes in their own right, and while it is similar to the SNES adventure, Rare certainly worked their magic with this one. R-Type takes the 20th spot in this list of the best Gameboy games of all time! R-Type is often cited as one of the greatest games of all time, and it certainly has a geekylicious storyline that fans of Star Gate and Star Trek will be all over like a symbiote at a packed birthday party.
