MSNBC writes: "Ken Levine is regarded as one of the most creative people in the game industry. He led the creation of the best-selling "Bioshock," one of 2007's most critically revered hits. But what does a creative guy play when he's not dreaming up his next game?
Here's Levine's list of his top 5 favorite games of all time. Have a look at his selections, in his own words:
5) 'Civilization IV' (Firaxis)
I love this game because it's entirely player driven and endlessly fascinating. Also the design simply refuses to get old, some fifteen years later."
My top 5;
Halo Series
X-Com
Tetris
SimCity
Zelda
If we're allowed series, then the final fantasy one hands down
But single titles
FF3/6
FF7
Wild Arms
Super Street Fighter 2
Metal Gear Solid
He seemed to be very PC influenced with most of his selections with the exception of A link to the past.
World of Warcraft? Boo! Boo, I say.
My personal All Time Top Five, in no particular order.
Ultima VII (both the original and Serpent Isle)
X-Com
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 4
TIE Fighter (which really represents a lot of space sim games - Wing Commander, Free Space, etc. But TIE Fighter barely eeks them out.)
Damn, only five? Hardly seems enough...
My top:
Halo:CE (Halo2/3 are garbage)
GTA series
Hearts of Iron 2
Starcraft
Total War series
I used to love Civilization too but they really need to change the basic gameplay of it. I want even more complicated and they're moving towards casual garbage.
