Alright so I didn't realize it was my turn so soon, but I had already done some preparations, so here we go!
25. Tekken 3 (Playstation) (1998)Starting off the list, Tekken 3 is one of the more nostalgic picks on my list. I remember playing bootleg copies of the original Tekken and Tekken 2 at my best friend's house, but after getting a Playstation of my own, Tekken 3 was my first game in the series. There was something special about it, and I played that game so much. Worn out probably 3 or 4 controllers over 2 years, and I played it almost on a daily basis. I used to bring home friends from school, challenge them, and we would have various fights in the various modes. I remember that there was a story mode where you fought against many henchmen as well as bosses, while collecting keys, and at the time it was pretty challenging. For a fighting game it came packed with a lot of different game modes. Everything from standard versus to timed battles, beach boll battles and so on. The characters were also cool, and I enjoyed playing most of them. Finding the secret outfits, unlocking all the videos. Hwoarang was my personal favorite character, but I also very much enjoyed playing Jin. I know fighting games is usually a "love it or hate it" genre, but while I never was huge into the genre as a whole, the Tekken games also peaked my interest. I also bought Tag Tournament, Tekken 4 and later Tekken 6, and while some of them are technically better games, Tekken 3 wins on pure nostalgia for me.
24. Ultimate Spider-Man (PC) (2005)Those who know me knows that Spider-Man is my thing. I've grown up with the character, been a fan of him through the comics, the animated series, the movies, the toys, and also the games. The problem with a popular title like Spider-Man is that a lot of games have been purely made for profit, without much heart or care for the project. My first experience of Spider-Man in game format goes back to the Playstation games, but one of the sad parts about those games was the lack of free roaming. The best feeling is swinging through the city and feeling invincible, something those games lacked with their cut out levels. Ultimate Spider-Man was a surprise for me, and after becoming a fan of the Ultimate comics version, the game felt like a breath of fresh air. The story takes you through many of Spider-Man's greatest enemies, you get to follow Peter when he is still in high school (which makes it unique) and there's a lot of fun to be had just swinging around the city and helping with crime events that pop up randomly. You can also play like Venom for pure chaos and destruction, something that is surprisingly fun. Just hurl police cars at police choppers and jump over skyscrapers. I've played the more recent movie games, but it's not really the same. Ultimate Spider-Man perfectly captures that fun feeling of being a hero. Probably the game that stays the closest to the Spider-Man from the comics.
23. Perfect Dark (Nintendo 64) (2000)If it's one thing I always regret about my childhood, it's not getting a Nintendo 64 of my own. All my friends had one, and if you know your N64, you know the countless awesome titles it had. I wished for a Playstation for christmas, mostly because I wanted to be different, and be that one unique kid. In the end, Playstation also had some great titles, and it wasn't a big mistake in that sense, but I would have had so much more fun if I also got a N64. Anyhow, Perfect Dark.. classic title. I know a lot of people who rank GoldenEye very high, and Perfect Dark is almost like a spiritual sequel to that game. It has a lot of similar elements to it, and if you look at some of the gameplay you will probably recognize yourself. I don't remember much about the actual story of the game, except that an alien shows up, but I did have tons of fun in the multiplayer mode. Played it with a bunch of friends and we would set up these wall turrets and guard a zone of the map each, then try to pick each other off as much as we could without dying. It was a really good first FPS experience before really getting into the genre on PC. I know there was a sequel or reboot or something called Perfect Dark Zero, but I never got a chance to play it. Perfect Dark was also one of those few situations where a game title and an image drew me in. The name sounded fascinating and interesting, and having a female agent as the lead, instead of the male agent (which was overly used at the time) felt fresh. Basically just seeing the box art had me hooked.
