Favourite Games
—
This list features my all-time favourite games on different platforms. The list will be continued as soon as a new great game enters my life (or when I´ll remeber one) 
. You may wonder that some games are listed on multiple platforms while others are not (though they existed on other platforms too). I only list the platforms I´ve played the game.
The ranking categories :
- PLAYING TIME – how long have I played the game (from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest))
- WOW EFFECT – how impressed have I been by the game (from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest))
- GRAPHICS – my personal visual impression (from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest))
- OVERALL RANKING – a simple summation of the other 3 ranking categories
A note on the GRAPHICS category. The rank given there refers to the time (and the system) the game was released on (the platform I´ve played the game). It is not comparable with today´s standards and should not be.
The list is sorted by OVERALL RANKING but can be sorted by any column. Happy discussion !
(a click on a game directs you to Wikipedia or other sources about the game)

Some additional blabla to the games on the list follows here :
You may wonder why GTA IV – The Ballad of Gay Tony is on the list and the original GTA IV not. Well…I could have placed both of them on the list but I think that TBoGT is the cherry on the cake. Though TBoGT is much much shorter than the original game the story is straighter and more focused on an exciting and arresting game progress. The characters are authentic and bizarre at the same time and in every second of TBoGT I was really involved in the things going on there. My final conclusion – TBoGT is the better GTA IV.
