Brillyance's Top 10 video games pre-GTA IV


April 25, 2008 | Tags: none

     Anybody who's read 4 or more of this shit I toss up on this website knows how much I dig video games. I can't front and say I've been playing since Atari 2600 or some shit, I keep it real, I started with the original Nintendo. I was never really huge on the original mario, but Mario 3 was my shit. I decided since I've been spending so much time on this GTA IV to make my list of top 10 games....pre-GTA IV



10. FEAR (PC)-This was my SHIT for a hot second. I had just upgraded my system so the game ran great, and the feel of it was something I wasn't used to in a FPS. I mean sure, you still just ran around and shot shit up, but the horror aspect of the game hadn't been done like this in a FPS before. The A.I. was also some of the best A.I. I've seen in an FPS ever.

9. The Getaway (PS2)- So many companies have tried to clone GTA 3, so many have failed. This game didn't get crazy acclaim, but I still fucked with it heavy. The realism of it sort of took it in a different direction than GTA. Sure when you got shot you'd lean against a wall to heal, but it was still alot more real than pickiing up hearts tha twirled around in front of hospitals. I'm also a big fan of "Layer Cake" so that may have influenced me liking this game.

8. Mercenaries (XBOX)- Blow shit up, blow shit up, BLOW SHIT UP! I've never had more fun blowing shit up. Another open world game, yeah, I know, but once again, they did shit their way. Their was no better feeling then setting up air strikes to level a whole block...and then never seeing it again. The game was super amazing, life changing, or mind altering, it was just fun.

7. Powerstones 2 (Dreamcast)-Nobody can fuck with me in this game! While people go crazy for Super Smash Bros (which is dope too), Powerstones 2 was my shit. I still hope they bring this back out over XBLA or something

6. Super Mario 3 (NES)- Fire flowers, flutes, and frog suits, this was definately my favorite game on the NES. This god damn plumber could be anything he want after smashing a brick to unlock it's treasure. This was my SECOND favorite mario game of all time.

5. Halo (XBOX)- So many hours spent with money on the line during LAN parties at my last apartment. This game was dope multiplayer, and single player, a feat Bungie has yet to repeat. If only I could have gotten ONE of the other two Halo's to not suck ass. This was the first FPS I REALLY fucked with on Consoles.

4. Bioshock (Xbox 360)- My favorite next gen game out so far. Nothing is fucking with this on XBOX 360, or PS3. Ken Levine and those 2k boys brought their A game for sure. The powers are dope, the crazy ass people are dope, the story, also dope. Bioshock forced a lot of people to "save them hoes"

3. Mario 64 (N64)- I remember when I went to visit my peoples in Florida and they had a N64. I went through their games, and the only thing i figured worth playing was Mario 64. I must have sat in the same spot for over 3 hours playing this shit straight. 3 hours may not seem like a lot for some of ya'll, but for me, especially at that age, that was a helluva a long time. This game is part of the reasons N64 is one of my favorite systems of all time.

2. Star Wars:Knights of the Old Republic (XBOX)- Star Wars is fucking garbage! Straight up, I never really gave a shit about those movies. I watched all of them in a row one day, and was not impressed at all. None of that matters. A good game is a good game, and this is the best RPG I've ever found myself playing. The decision making, the combat (the power), the story, all of it was far above par.

1. Half-Life 2 (PC)- My favorite game of all time hands down. This list wasn't the list of games I thought were the best, however, if it was, this game would still find itself in the same spot. This game puts you in the life of Freedom fighting Scientist Gordan Freeman like no other game has ever put you in the role of anyting else EVER. You get to REALLY know the people fighting alongside you. It makes you REALLY wanna bring the machine down.  The gravity gun is the best weapon is FPS history.


I didn't include any GTAs, since I didn't want to give two spots to the series. This is a list of my favorite games, had it been about games I thought were the best, others like Resident Evil 4, and Dues Ex would have to have been included. I didn't want to go into too much detail, because truthfully I could talk about some of these games all day. This is just a little something to try and get the gamers to talk a little.
