yes yes yes kirby series is amazing
as far as favorite games goes here's my personal list;
1. Kirby Air Ride [GCN] (OH MY GOD SO MUCH FUN. I'm not just talking about City Trial either - standard Air Ride and Top Ride modes are lots of fun. Combine that with 360 unique challenges/checklist boxes and you got yourself a game you could easily spend hours on.)
Between 1 and 2 is every other Kirby game in existence except for Avalanche.
2. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 [PC] (Storyline is FANTASTIC. One of the greatest games I've ever played, and not just because of storyline - gameplay is also top notch. All units are balanced and have a way to counter them, and units don't clip through eachother, meaning that you actually have to think and plan rushes instead of just zerg rushing opponents mindlessly. Gameplay's also easy to pick up, and hard to master due to the fairly fast nature of the game. It also has some of the most memorable characters ever - Premier Romanov, Yuri, Tanya, President Dugen, Colonel... crap, forgot his name. :< It also has one of the best extra content CD's [I wouldn't call it DLC, more like an expansion] that I have seen up to date. Seriously, they added two whole new campaigns following up the end of the Allied Campaign, a major plot twist, AND bug fixes, unit balances, new maps, and the like?? It's crazy!)
3. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals: Ring of Fates [DS] (I've always been a fairly big fan of the Crystal Chronicals spinoffs, but oh man is this game amazing. Yes, voices and dialogue can get a bit cheesy at times, but the plot is brilliant. The ending was also incredibly sweet, and this game single handedly made me cry more times than any other game or story I've ever witnessed. It also gave me some good laughs. Gameplay is great, and the level design is really good... mostly. I will say that underrealm area after Sinner's Isle was pretty annoying because I'd get knocked off the cliff a lot.

4. Xenoblade Chronicals [Wii, soon on New 3DS] (I would say more about this game but I'm not going to spoil it. Incredible story, though I was not at all a fan of the ending. Character cast is brilliant, and the story doesn't really get dull anywhere. Gameplay is nice, and battles are engaging and can get real fun. Though there are some small details that bug me a bit, namely auto-attacks having a bug where you only deal the lower half of the auto-attack damage range, and a few other things I won't mention to not spoil stuff.)
5. Call of Duty 2: Big Red One [GCN, though I think CoD 2 was on other consoles as well] (Unlike a lot of the bland, mindless shooting games that CoD tends to be known for, the second game of the series was actually incredibly well done. It only has single player, but that's all I could ever ask for. The storyline and music is FANTASTIC. Not to mention the level design, which kept me playing for several years on end, even though I suck at shooters. The difficulty makes a huge difference - On Easy Mode you could tank 20 bullets, on Hard you can only really tank 2 bullets or less, really forcing you to think and have good reflexes. Even though I suck at shooters I really love this game. It even goes as far as to [DON'T YOU DARE SPOIL YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THE GAME]
kill off some of the main characters that really grow on you, EVEN YOURSELF. ; n ; It really captures the unforgiving aspect of WWII, and even though America joined late their troops still suffered through all the crazy ♥♥♥♥ they had to take down. Which sucks because the people in your squad really have personalities, and stand out as individual characters, and I really felt bad for all the hell they went through.)
6. Sins of a Solar Empire [PC] (Easily one of the best RTS's I have come across. Gameplay may get a little slow at times and large maps could easily drag games into hours or even days upon playtime, but it's kinda hard to say that's a fault when they modeled this game to be like a board game, except with RTS elements and real-time. And they did that near perfectly - diplomacy mechanics are excellent, factions are mostly balanced, units are very well balanced, and it's one of the few RTS's where it's possible to defend a Zerg Rush, and actually gain an edge if you can defend one successfully. The tech trees and faction bonuses allow you to play different playstyles with one faction, which is something I enjoy a lot. I will say this, though... ♥♥♥♥ THE COWARD'S SUBMISSION TECH ON THE ADVENT LOYALIST. DEAR. GOD.)
7. Mario Kart 64 [N64] (Out of all the Mario Kart games, I think 64 stands out to me as one of the best. I've spent hours on this game for the mere fact that it's one of the few games where you aren't over-reliant on items. A lot of driving skill and how well you control a character comes into play more often than not, and no two races end up the same as a result. Course design is pretty well done, though I will say this game has one of the worst Rainbow Roads in existence. I haven't played Mario Kart 8 yet, so I don't know how good the items are in that game, but regardless I feel 64 is one of the best Mario Karts to date.)
8. Supreme Commander 2 [PC] (Now I know that Forged Alliance and the first one have a much broader unit selection, and generally better small details, but that's not to say SC2 has a fantastic soundtrack, fast gameplay, and still have a broad selection of units and a fantastic tech tree. It also has pretty good DLC, but I personally do feel like defensive structures are moot and rushing/mass production is very overrated in this game. Regardless, that didn't stop me from working around it and having fun.)
9. Mario Super Sluggers/Superstar Baseball [Wii/GCN] (Seriously, this title is so underrated. I know baseball mechanics are not something everyone's familiar with, but it's actually one of the easiest sports to understand compared to football and such. And the game itself is very well polished! Playing it with friends is even doubly more fun, and there's a surprisingly good amount of strategy you can put into your team, when to make a sacrifice play, what pitch to use, etc.)
10. Super Mario Galaxy (How did I forget this?? Sorry Nintendo Land, but Super Mario Galaxy definitely gave me a lot of fun. Not just 1, but 2 I'm still playing today because of how memorable it is - Even today I still remember Toy Time Galaxy, the fantastic soundtrack, stunning graphical work, etc. You'd think Space would be empty and they couldn't work with adding great graphics, but clearly that was not at all the case. Oh, and that story really made me cry. ; n ; )
11. Nintendo Land (Another underrated title, really. This game becomes so much fun when you have people to play with you, or even when you just want to play by yourself some of the single player attractions. Though I suppose it can be a problem if you have nobody to play with...)
