RE: What are your top 5 video games of all time?

At work.
KOTOR one and two are quite good. (Would actually like to see more)
'Dungeon Keeper' was a naffy rts.
In the same/similar vein is 'Evil Genius' with an 'Evil Genius 2' reportedly in the works.
The original 'Homeworld' still evokes happy memories. The new 'Revamps' are pretty and a good reproduction.... but.... they're not, quite, the original.
IL42 was a good flight simulator. I think there's a new 'Multiplayer' version about on line.
Can't think of a fifth one off the top of my head atm. But there's been so many over the years.

I've never played KOTOR, so I'm not knocking it at all. The only Star Wars game I liked was Rogue Squadron. Awesome title. I played the fuck out of that game.
Have you ever played Planescape: Torment?
I'm talking about the original KOTOR. There was a follow-up, KOTOR 2: The Sith Lords. Agreed about Rogue Squadron. I still have it installed on my PC and play it on occasion. I'm only so-so when it comes to the Star Wars Universe as a whole. A lot of it has become too complex for me to follow just because I don't want to commit enough time to it. The Trek is okay with me too, but I felt some of the series started to get a bit derpy, though most of the movies have been fantastic.
I haven't played Planescape: Torment yet, but I am familiar with it. I just have a massive backlog. Almost finished with Y's VIII Lacrimosa of Dana, then I have to decide between Spyro Trilogy, Detroit Become Human, RDR2, Persona 5, AC Odyssey, or Dragon Quest XI. Once I drudge through that, then return to the backlog, which by that time there will probably be at least 10 more games released that I would like to play through.

It's tough because I don't play video games any more, and if I was to go back and play on any game I'd probably get bored quick or feel like it was a waste of time.
But going off how long I played the game for and how much I enjoyed it at the time here's a list.
1. Call of duty world at war.
This is the game I dreamed would exist when I was in school, I played it in my mid 20s and got very good at it but then the game got hacked and cheaters ruined the online game.
I wasn't playing world at war, it was some other call of duty, but that game ended my PlayStation days. I smashed my tv with the control pad in frustration and decided it was time to pack call of duty in.
2. Command and conquer. Specifically yuris revenge.
I've probably dedicated more hours to this game than any other, id say that's definite if you count every game in the series. It's just a game I can happily sit back and play, listen to music or or a podcast or whatever.
3. GTA 1 for the PS1.
I played this game for such long periods of time I vaguely remember having to take breaks because of something to do with my eyes.
4. Metal gear solid.
The atmosphere of the game does it for me. The story, characters, the music, the sounds.
5. Sonic the hedgehog.
I don't remember much about specific games but I just had to pick one from my early gaming years. This series got me obsessed around the master system and mega drive era.
Baldurs gate deserves a mention, that whole series. And columns aswell, which is better than Tetris in my opinion.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

I've played few video games, so my list is more a reflection of the games I've played than a reflection on the state of the art.
In no particular order:
Heroes Of Might And Magic II
Descent 1 & 2
The quake engine games (Quake, Hexen II)
Zork I, II, III (not really video games)
Rogue (again not really a video game)
Zelda: A Link To The Past
Super Metroid
River Raid (I forget what the arcade version was called, but it was better)

Have the "Let's Go Eevee" in the box with the Pokeball. Then again, I still have the Crash Bandicoot Trilogy in the wrap from over a year ago. Terrible backlog.

I feel like I should have put Bandersnatch and Big Chungus on the list, but, of course, neither of those games actually exist. Plus, I figured my list of the few games I actually play is ridiculous enough.
