My Top Five + Two

Super Mario World (SNES, 1990)
Super Smash Bros. (N64, 1999)
Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec (PS2, 2001)
Tekken 3 (Arcade-PSX, 1997-98)
Super Monkey Ball 2 (GCN 2002)
F-Zero: GX (GCN 2003)
Galaga (Arcade, 1981)

Now, this list is most likely my top favourite games in terms of "replayability": games that are able to be run into the ground in terms of gameplay, and you can still keep coming back for more entertainment each and every time you touch the controllers. The one exception to this rule may be Gran Turismo, but there are so many "easter eggs" and goals to accomplish in order to obtain 100% completion that it nearly never gets old. Also, it is just a right coincidence that nearly all of the games listed are found and played exclusively on separate consoles. Some honourable mentions I would have included if given the chance would be Donkey Kong Country (1994), Kirby's Block Ball (1995), Sonic Adventure 2 (2001), Fire Emblem (2003). Last vestiges of goodness include The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Earthbound, Goldeneye 007, and Metroid Prime.

And to clarify, I'll mention that I haven't played and/or bought a new console game in nearly five-six years, so I am perhaps skewing myself because I have not consumed the next generation of XBOX360/PS3/Wii games that I could probably get into, but as it is, these games are set into my archive of historic favourites. Most of my consumership of video games came in-between 1983-92 for video arcades, and 1988-2002 for console-based products. In all, my scope in gameplay is very limited, and I'll bet that I've played less than 40 titles overall in my lifetime.

Finally, I'll say that my mind acquires joy, and denotes the enjoyability of a game based most importantly and with utmost priority on "replayability"; I could never get myself into first-person shooters or role-playing sagas because if I should ever start on a game, it is my sole mission to play the game to its completion 100%, and that is too wholly-engrossing an endeavor for me, and with that, I ignore all other games until I finish the game in question I have yet to "beat". This is why I much prefer multiplayer-based games, those that can be enjoyed more fully with accomplished friends, and video games that are more in-line and classified as "platformers". I also notice that Nintendo through different consoles and decades have provided what are the most enjoyable gaming experiences thus far, particularly for me. Must be the memorable characters. Now, I'd say select XBOX360 titles are among the best in the biz.
