titles that have had a significant
impact on gaming since their release in
2007 with priority given to how well
these games hold up by today’s standards
just pretend for a minute that I don’t
really care about any of that stuff and
cut to the chase would you number 10 The
Witcher based on the book series by the
same name The Witcher dealt with some
pretty heavy issues like racism and
Prejudice and landed the mutant monsters
lair Geralt of Rivia right in the middle
of it all although a standard product of
the era with really long low times in
multiple bugs this open-world RPG has a
special place in our heart it winter
gave players some tough moral hurdles to
overcome
and a few gaging storylines along with
the well-designed bold environments that
way most of the technical issues and
design flaw to games making this a great
jumping point for what is now a
legendary series number 9
Assassin’s Creed what do you want me to
do what you got to mix a martini we know
who you are what you are ever since the
first leap of faith we were hooked
sprinting across twelfth-century
rooftops at the ancient assassin Alki
ear gave us everything we wanted why
they had to go tied together with a
science fiction memory MacGuffin is
beyond us though assassin creed featured
a beautiful open world to explore and
countless enemies to dispatch with a
variety of colorful weapons and tactics
to do so with some people standing out
from the usual run and young gameplay
style this has been freed showed us the
satisfaction of a perfectly timed
distraction and a quick getaway
for a game to make us enjoy slowing down
and really appreciating to kill is
nothing short of remarkable
and it set the tone for a whole new
generation of stealth games well you
must be puzzle discipline
number eight mass effect I don’t see you
snapping very easily what finally did it
developed by Bioware the champion of the
Western RPGs Matt’s tactic delivered an
immersive sci-fi experience like no
other
it took the concept of players choice to
a whole other level from combat class to
romantic orientation this game let
players decide it all even fulfilling
the coveted dream of getting on with an
alien
although a bit lacking in the combat
Department with clunky squad commands

made up for it with its guests of
characters and story arc with fans
clamoring for a sequel almost
immediately he even admits the drama
surrounding the culmination of the
theory mass effect remains an
unforgettable journey

number seven uncharted drake’s Fortune
the PlayStation 3 had a very rough first
year with a high price tag and
lackluster title but Uncharted gave Sony
fans just what they need it this
tried-and-true tale of a young Nathan
Drake hunting for his ancestors lost
treasure is exactly the kind of story
that draws you in and doesn’t let go
with adventure mystery and twist ending
we were in love I’m Gabriel Romo yeah I
know who you are asshole
while the endless waves of enemy pirates
may get tiresome at time the different
environments and stellar AI keep things
fresh from interesting a balanced blend
of combat and puzzles with beautiful
artwork and fast-paced gameplay this
Naughty Dog production gave rise to an
entire franchise and a beloved video
game icon I had everything under control
until they blew off the ball number 6
crisis
for a long time after its release crisis
reigned as the king of next gen graphix
challenging even the beefiest of
processors to display its visuals on the
highest setting add to that an
adrenaline-fueled combat system with
critical Nanosuit customizations for
speed armor and stealth being made
real-time you were left with what many
consider to be the future of
first-person shooters
with multiple difficulty level several
ways to approach a firefight this was a
game that kept you coming back for more
it’s only to test your new conceit
thanks to the solid story writing and
artwork by Crytek team crisis was an
example of PC gaming at its peak I don’t
know but I don’t think we’re alone now
the number 5 halo 3 quick show of hands
how many of you called in sick today
this game was released that’s what I
thought almost no other game series has
been met with such ban devotion and
probably no installment more than halo
three fully takes the advantage of the
Xbox 360s graphics halo 3 brought the
epic story of Master Chief to life with
revolutionary technical improvements
already known for its couch gaming
multiplayer mode the franchise really
brought the heat with Halo 3 adding in
new weapons vehicles maps and abilities
gloating over your friends with a
slow-mo capture of your double kill a
holy sprite played in an era of online
multiplayer games like this kept the
age-old tradition of couch play alive
number 4 super mario galaxy with the
sheer number of Mario titles being
released surprised that any of them
stick around for long but mario galaxy
did just that and it failed is one of
the greatest installment of the
franchise
acting as a spiritual successor to mario
64 Galaxie led us on a journey through
the stars with multiple galaxies for the
plummet to jump spring flying spin n
roll his way through the game also
introduced us to an entirely new
character in the Super Mario universe
with Rosalina with groundbreaking
graphical achievements and revolutionary
controls games super mario galaxy
brought us the future of mario and
platforming gaming as a whole number 3
call of duty 4 modern warfare
it’s hard to imagine what first person
shooters would look like today without
this jarred defining installment in one
of the best-selling video game
franchises of all time
modern warfare gave us a whole new
perspective on traditional military
shooters mixing in compelling storylines
and convincing characters with some
pretty much voice acting thrown in
well hey quad from the other smaller
caste name is it also introduced gamers
to a new and improved multiplayer
experience which helps popularize online
competition across the board
some might even say that modern warfare
helped introduce gaming as a whole to a
much more mainstream audience for better
or for worse
either way this landmark title changed
shooters for everyone number cute
Bioshock
genetic manipulation mind control city
on the ocean floor the success of
Bioshock is one that truly endured
bonding a well-received sequel and a
spin-off date combining suspenseful
storytelling and fast-paced action this
journey through the beautiful but deadly
underwater city of Rapture draws its
inspiration from sci-fi and Dewar
elements to give players an
unforgettable experience
I am Adam drew Ryan and I’m here to ask
you a question
there was something for everyone here
creepy atmosphere choices resulting in
multiple endings and if it wasn’t for
for you a mind-blowing twist as a
totally original premise if you don’t
count System Shock Bioshock delivered on
multiple level and that special feeling
we got roaming through the Art Deco
cities will not soon be forgotten they
carry out of the genetic material that
keeps the wheels of rapture turning
