My Favorite Video Games

I recently discovered the God of War series of games that came out on the PS2, PSP, and PS3. It's very rare that I love a video game this much, so I decided to keep a running list of my favorite video games. It's a short list. I'm very picky when it comes to video games. There may be other games that I've liked but these are games I like so much that I replay them on a regular basis.

Galaga (Arcade)
Rastan (Arcade)
The Legend of Zelda (NES)
The Legend of Zelda 2 (NES)

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES)
Rygar (NES)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
Metroid (NES)
Super Metroid (SNES)
Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
Metroid Fusion (GBA)
AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake)
Star Wars Jedi Outcast (PC)
Star Wars Jedi Academy (PC)
God of War 1 (PS2>PS3)

God of War 2 (PS2>PS3)

God of War 3 (PS2>PS3)
God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP>PS3)
God of War: Ghost of Sparta (PSP>PS3)

That's it. I expect I'll be adding GoW 2 and 3 to this list in a few months. I don't think I'll get into the reboot coming soon to PS4. I really love the ancient Greece mythological setting of GoW and the way they've presented. These games would make GREAT movies. They really capture the feel of old sword and sandal movies like Clash of the Titans while still adding some modern polish, more so than the rebooted Clash of the Titans and Conan movies. In fact, a bald-shaven Jason Momoa would make a fantastic Kratos.

UPDATE: Came here to add Simon's Quest to the list and added GoW 2 and 3 also. Ah, Simon's Quest. I had forgotten about this game. I had it or rented it or borrowed it at one point in the NES hey-days. I had long forgotten this. I now remember thinking that I would really like it if I just knew what I was supposed to do. I don't think I had a manual for it. It recently crossed my radar and thanks to the wonders of the internet, I now had "a manual". I just finished it for the first time and started playing it again. Love it!
