if these games aren’t on your bucket
list they damn well should be oops
alright welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 games every gamer should
try before we begin we publish new
videos every day so be sure to subscribe
for more great content for this list
we’ll be examining games whose
popularity enduring legacy engaging
gameplay and/or memorable story make
them worth at least a look-see for any
true gamer to be clear these aren’t
necessarily the best games of all time
although some of them are definitely out
there these are just gaming experiences
we’d hate to see anyone miss out on
number 10 inside a side scroller isn’t
the first thing that comes to mind when
it comes to great storytelling but
inside managed to shatter preconceptions
quite nicely starting with a nameless
boy as he traverses a fog bound forest
at night the player controls this boy as
he evades mysterious guards encounters
disturbing events and solves puzzles
inside is one of the best examples of a
game conveying its narrative through its
gameplay and the citta manages to
engross players in a way that few other
mediums can creepy atmosphere simple
gameplay and an engrossing story inside
is a must try number 9 half-life 2 right
man in the wrong place can make all the
difference in the world speaking of
great ways to tell stories and video
games half-life 2 helps show that video
games could be cinematic without
cinematic cutscenes like its predecessor
half-life 2 set a trend for games to
come by allowing the player to maintain
control during story events but that’s
just one of the many reasons to play
this highly acclaimed game hennessy
words aren’t you cool weapons a wide
variety of enemies an immersive setting
and story the revolutionary gravity guns
come on you get the idea right
with all that half-life 2 has going for
it you can understand why fans have been
clamoring for a sequel and that’ll be
happening any decade now just you wait
oh let’s actually calm seas while at
number eight the elderscrolls v Skyrim
in Oblivion is that century what do you
see
Games by Bethesda tend to play very
similarly so ultimately this choice
comes down to a preference but really
though can you blame us
Skyrim arguably exemplifies the Bethesda
formula the best one of the biggest
things we consider for this list was the
experience and Skyrim provides
experiences in space with enough side
quests and discoveries to satisfy even
the most ardent of completionists and a
main game with plenty of story to engage
those looking to play out an epic Norse
like saga number 7 the Last of Us we’ve
already talked about some games with
cinematic elements but the Last of Us
takes it to a whole other level while
the setting the post-apocalyptic world
overrun by creatures created through an
epidemic has been definitely done before
it’s the execution where the game really
shines with incredibly details
motion-captured performances from the
main characters and some of the most
intelligent AI we’ve seen today both
from allies and enemies this game really
makes you feel like you’re part of the
story with a compelling story fleshed
out characters and fun combat The Last
of Us was probably the high point for
the ps3
[Music]
number six do first-person shooters have
dominated the market for decades but
they got their start in the early 90s
with games like do this titles blend of
sci-fi horror and pixelated
ultraviolence made it highly
sought-after by gamers far younger than
its nominal demographic again setting
the trend for modern shooters whether
you’re an older gamer with nostalgia or
a younger one who wants to examine
gaming’s roots Doom is definitely worth
a look especially in light of the
release of the new entry in the
franchise sometimes the best way to
appreciate what you have is to see where
it came from
number 5 The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of
Time the Zelda series has produced some
truly exceptional adventure games over
the years but ocarina of time is perhaps
the most acclaimed entry in the
franchise and that’s saying something
the first 3d game in the series ocarina
remains the benchmark by which each game
that followed his judged its settings
are compelling and interesting there’s a
wide variety of weapons and items the
music is catchy and moving the
characters have depth I mean we could go
on and with its availability on multiple
platforms including a great remake on
the 3ds Ocarina of Time is an easy game
to find if you want to try it for
yourself
number four minecraft
there are sandbox games and then there’s
minecraft getting players the ability to
create almost anything they want out of
blocks this game took the world by storm
and it hasn’t let up yet
minecraft is worth playing if only
because there’s something for almost
everyone is survival your type of game
then you got a living while exploring
randomly generated worlds new mods and
game modes are being created by users
all the time too the possibilities are
limited only by your imagination and by
your free time when it comes to
Minecraft number three Super Mario
Brothers 3
[Music]
it was tough narrowing down the Mario
franchise to just one pick but
ultimately we had to go with the
Plummers third big adventure on the NES
Mario 3 is arguably the series’s most
acclaimed and easy to pick up and play
game
one of the first super mario game may
have defined the platforming genre Mario
3 polished 2d platforming to such
perfection that new mario games are
still harkening back to its interface
power-ups secrets and level design if
you want the quintessential Mario
experience it’s hard to go wrong with
giving this one a try number 2 Shadow of
the Colossus
videogames are not always thought of as
art but make no mistake Shadow of the
Colossus is a masterpiece from its vast
open landscapes to its soaring
soundtrack this game is absolutely
breathtaking of course the real meat of
the game is through a gameplay and
despite its actually adventure exterior
Shadow of the Colossus is a puzzle game
at its heart with the goal being to
determine how to defeat each of the 16
memorable mostly massive colossi
there are few games or even stories in
general that manage to tie together a
character’s objectives and obstacles
quite so tightly Colossus is absolutely
worth conquering if you’re up to the
challenge
[Music]
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
I love it I gotta remember to write that
down and to shoot you in your head you
annoying dick undress taking notes this
stuff wellö number one portal that you
didn’t see this one coming while there
are certainly longer more complex and
arguably better games on this list
portal is just plain fun and amazing the
story is simple namely running through a
series of puzzles using the portal
creating gun that gives the game its
name at the behest of the AI GLaDOS as
part of a required test protocol a
previous statement suggesting that we
would not monitor this chamber was an
outright fabrication the mechanics of
the portal device are a blast to play
around with and GLaDOS makes for one of
the most memorable videogame characters
of all time despite being heard and not
seen for most of the game portal might
not be a long trip but it’s one you’ll
definitely enjoy taking Plus who doesn’t
enjoy cake right do you agree with our
picks check out these other great clips
