Well, ohmRICE's Yume Nikki LP just finished. She did a great job, showing off nearly every out-of-the-way event while using the exact amount of narration the game demands. I would advise you all to take a look at it especially since most people are just mentally unable to complete the game without falling asleep or getting completely frustrated.
Anyways, rewatching all the events with peanut gallery commentary has only reinforced my opinion that the game deserves to be called art. Aside from the fact that nobody really knows what the game's overall message is, few games really get presented as a "work" like Yume Nikki does. Kind of got me thinking about which games I consider the best. So here's finally a Top Ten list from me for the best videogames ever. Sorting criteria includes nostalgia, playing time, and just overall excellence.
1. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
2. Phantasy Star Online
3. Seiken Densetsu 3
4. Rhythm Tengoku
5. Yume Nikki
6. Mirror's Edge
7. Donkey Kong Country 2
8. Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
9. Puyo Puyo 2/Tsuu/whatthefuck
10. Metroid Fusion
Honorable Mentions: Call of Duty: World at War, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Monster Hunter Tri, Kirby's Air Ride
