My Top 100: #51 – Gran Turismo
I’ve been reluctant to include racing games on here, mostly because they’re a dime a dozen. If it’s a NASCAR game, there’s been one released every year since ’97, and very little innovation seen from… Read More

My Top 100: #52 – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
It seems a bit cliché to me, including this game on my list. After all, it seemed like it was the “cool thing to do” to like it at the time, and everyone just went crazy over… Read More

My Top 100: #53 – Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse
Capcom was really on it with their Disney games. Aside from TailSpin, I played and greatly enjoyed all of the NES Disney games released under the Capcom banner. From Adventures in the Magic Kingdom to DuckTales (and… Read More

My Top 100: #54 – Berzerk
This is guaranteed to be the oldest game on my list, bar none. There’s only one “first”, however, and Berzerk is the first video game I ever played. Through your years of being, you know, a person who… Read More

My Top 100: #58 – Mario Kart 64
When I started putting my list together, I knew that there should be a Mario Kart game on it. After all, the original was an unexpected surprise, and my whole family had a good laugh whenever we played it. Its… Read More

My Top 100: #59 – The Simpsons: Hit and Run
When looking at video games based on The Simpsons, one can’t help but look at the ones that started it all; Bart vs. the Space Mutants and Bart vs. the World. I loved renting those games, but I… Read More

My Top 100: #60 – Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks
I make no effort to hide the fact that I love the Mortal Kombat universe. I find absolutely everything about it riveting, but I consider it a bit of a guilty pleasure. To begin with, the characters’ storylines all seem plucked from thin… Read More
