Top 25 Favorite/Most Fun Video Games Ever
by JoshE117 | created - 15 Jun 2016 | updated - 05 Dec 2020 | PublicA list of my favorite video games of all-time. I've literally spent hundreds of hours playing some of these games. Honorable mention to Forza Motorsport, Mario Kart, and NCAA Football. I'm mainly a PC and Xbox gamer with an Xbox Live gamerscore of over 32,000 and have accumulated over 2,000 achievements. My number three spot is kind of a cheat because it contains six games, but that is also one of the reasons why it is so high.
