you’ve spent countless hours exploring
these pixelated lands of make-believe
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our top 10 favorite
game worlds number 10 the Milky Way
galaxy from Mass Effect on the surface
it may not seem too special in an
endless line of sci-fi settings but look
a little closer and you’ll see that the
enormous amount of lore built into the
Mass Effect galaxy is what makes the
series truly special and allows players
to deal with the surprisingly deep
themes they’re in what constitutes life
did the needs of the many justify
cruelty to a certain few should you bang
that blue chick number nine planets
abyss from the Metroid series we’ve
always had a ball on this planet zebus
is the home bounty hunter Samus Aran and
is a vast subterranean landscape filled
with creepy crawly life-forms it’s too
bad that Samus is conflict with the
space pirates and Mother Brain caused
the planet to go boom Al Gore was right
number 8 the halo ring from halo these
installations have floated through space
for thousands of years they were
designed as containment and research
facilities for a parasitic alien race
called the flood and feature planet like
geography and weather systems they were
also designed to destroy all sentient
life in the galaxy
but are so pretty that a covenant of
alien races as well as countless fanboys
have decided to worship them as
religious artifacts when you first saw
halo were you blinded by its majesty
number 7 Sarah from Gears of War this
planet is an allegory for the crisis
soon to befall earth if we don’t get off
our dependence on oil namely war famine
and bug light creatures that come up
from the ground prompting us to fight
back with chainsaw guns and satellite
laser cannons ok maybe the last part
won’t happen or maybe it will either way
Sarah is a stunning example of the
beauty and gameplay possibilities that
emerge from the apocalypse number 6 Gaia
from final fantasy 7 the Final Fantasy
series has produced many fantastical
worlds but none scores higher with us
than the one from the best game in the
series yeah we said it deal with it
we’re talking of course about Gaia a
planet made up of three major land
masses its locations include an
industrial metropolis military base
ranch farming town mines and a fork yes
these are the places that beckon brave
adventurers with massive swords number 5
Tamriel from the Elder Scrolls series
fast unrestricted view of
fans of the series will gladly tell you
how to navigate the Canton’s and Vivek
where nirn roots can be found and how
traveling in a dust storm is never a
good idea well every other world
restricts you with invisible walls and
narrow corridors Bethesda’s games give
you the key to a continent hope you
didn’t have anything to do this month
number four rapture from Bioshock okay
so here’s the dilemma you want to create
the successor to a franchise that’s
previously been set in space but you
want your new game to be set in the past
how do you get space when there was no
space travel you go underwater deep on
the ocean floor you find yourself in a
gorgeous Art Deco utopia but the walls
are leaking there’s blood on the floor
and angry voices echo down the hallway
welcome to rapture
number three Azeroth from the Warcraft
series back in the 90s Blizzard took a
variation of the Lord of the Rings
fantasy setting and ran with it all the
way to the bank
seriously though joking aside Azeroth
has truly become a beast of its own
players who stopped to look will find
that every location has a story to tell
every what and where has a why and a
when Blizzard really goes the extra mile
to make sure that their world is full to
the brim with equal parts beauty and
backstory number two the Mushroom
Kingdom
from the mario brothers series no world
of make-believe is more fanciful or
colorful than the Mushroom Kingdom
made up of eight kingdoms its landscapes
are filled with such notable features as
warp pipes pits floating bricks castles
and flying warships its vistas are so
diverse that it even plays host to
countless sporting events does your
world have a memorable theme song I
didn’t think so
number one Hyrule from The Legend of
Zelda taking the top spot on our list is
the world that has been reinvented time
and time again captivating us since it
was presented and simple yet
intoxicating 8-bit graphics that’s right
we’re talking about the gorgeous realm
of the Triforce and the home of Link and
Zelda Zelda’s the girl Hyrule has
everything an adventure could hope for
and has been depicted in various
animation styles while likewise being
covered in such things as water or train
tracks my question is why are there so
many rupees hidden in the bushes does
money really grow on trees you like our
list you have one of your own well feel
