There were many Doom clones back in the day. This was the best of them.

The worst of the From Software souls like. Started strong, and pondered into monotony with the most uninspired enemies and locations. Still, nothing is quite as infectious at that Souls gameplay loop.

Fun if you stick together, dreadful if you play alone.

A little rough around the edges, but one of the best Star Wars games without lightsabers.

This was the game that shattered my rose-coloured glasses, and subsequently, the last game I ever pre-ordered.

Some games require you to jump quickly onto the hype-train, before you're left at the station, holding your low poly bag.

People often refer to this game as a tech demo, but it's laden with substance, fresh ideas and a unique setting.

Would be hard-pressed to think of a better current-era boomer shooter if I'm being honest.

The soundtrack, gothic setting, and unique enemy types pool together for a one-of-a-kind shooter that still makes you feel unease to this day.

The average Hitman mission always starts like Daniel Craig era 007 and quickly degrades into Pierce Brosnan.

Even 343 can't get in the way of such a strong foundation. The single-player experience can be lamented with two biomes and a grapple hook. Fun, but painfully underwhelming.

The slow migration to a more frenetic multiplayer experience akin to Call of Duty is noticed, and not welcome.

The perfect shooter. Infinite replay value, each and every couple of years.

There's a small sliver of time where shooters did something transcendental. From Aliens Versus Predator 2, to the mainline 007 entries. There's a magic to them that is hard to capture, and this was one of the best.

The best $60 demo you'll ever play.

It's GTA V.
