best out of the latest batch of Mario games

it is 10 years old

it's not unreasonable to say it is the best out of ALL of the Mario games.

I'm not sure I could come up with ten. In no order

Uncharted
Final Fantasy
Persona
The old Jedi Night Star Wars games
Soon to be The Last of Us when 2 comes.
Rollercoaster Tycoon besides last two suck.

I think most games I like areading stand alone games.

3) Final Fantasy

final fantasy feels dead. the best games in the series are made in a style that square obviously thinks it antiquated. They haven't even settled on the basics of what final fantasy is now, and meanwhile other rpgs make the series more and more irrelevant.

And by the way, don't put Mario and Zelda under 1 and 2. It's a fact that they're the top two series. Every game is built on them, so save yourself some pain.

What about Ultima?

The only Nintendo systems I've owned were NES and Gameboy. I regret to admit I have not played the majority of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid games.

Really hard for me to pick 10. Most franchises only have a couple of good games anyway

For sure:

Souls
Deus Ex
Witcher
Metal Gear
Resident Evil
GTA
Zelda (solely because of Ocarina and Majora nostalgia)

dont feel comfortable putting Mario bc I've only played 64 at length.

Going by what I've played the most in my life, not necessarily what I would consider the best compared to others:

1. Final Fantasy
2. Mario Kart
3. Megaman
4. Mario
5. Street Fighter
6. Castlevania
7. Metal Gear
8. Gran Turismo
9. Call of Duty (yeah I know it's crap now but I really liked the good ones)
10. Ace Combat

I've probably forgot others but off the top of my head.

3) KotoR
4) Bioshock
5) Mass Effect
6) Fallout
7) Jedi Knight (very underrated)
8) Dragon Age
9) Elder Scrolls

Before anyone starts trying to bust my balls over no Mario or Zelda: Never played Zelda, and Mario, as much as I have enjoyed Mario games, have grown stale.

Bioshock

I've tried so hard to like Bioshock, but I just hate those games. I don't know what exactly it is, but something just bothers me.

Which is weird because it has all the elements of other games I like.
