The best are Going Commando and Tools of Destruction, though the main games are great. I chose Going Commando for one simple thing: level design. It has the best level design in any platformer I've ever played. The story was great, gameplay was smooth and amazing, and it was pretty goddamned challenging... well, challenging isn't the word so much as "insanely-brutally difficult".

San Andreas is great, but Vice City is golden. While it doesn't quite match the masterfullness of III, IV, or V, it's still damn good, and one of the best PS2 games ever made, as well as in the top 5 Xbox games ever made.

Yes, while not as good as SR3, you owe it to yourself to finish the Saint's story. It's pretty damn fun, and the story is excellent; perfect end to a great game series narrative. I will admit that 2 had a great story, but terrible controls.

Not as good as IV, which is Rockstar's magnum opus, but still a masterpiece in its own right, and one of the few games I've given a 10. The gameplay is phenomenal and refined from past entries, the writing is brilliant and provocative, and, in technical terms, it's as good as a game is going to get this gen. It is most definitely worth its price tag (like every R* game this gen), and GOTY 2013, even beating out The Last of Us. I could not recommend this game enough.

Ah yes, Half-Life 2, one of the few games I've given a perfect score.

Adding a new term to the gaming vernacular: The Bill Section. What is it, you ask? It's a section of a game towards the beginning that happens to have no redeeming value to it, and it drags on far too long. Its trope namer is said section in 2013 Naughty Dog game The Last of Us. In it, you make your way to a school with a lame character named Bill. The section is lethargic and very badly paced, dragging on for very long, and containing very little fun to be had. After this point, the game just gets so damn incredible, better and better every second, leading up to a fantastic climax and satisfying finale; reaching masterpiece status.

Questions you'll ask yourself whilst playing a Bill Section:

1. Why's it not fun?

2. When's it going to end?

This does not apply to a game of questionable quality, and has to be of annoying length. If it's a mission that sucks compared to the rest of a great game, it's a Tow Truck Mission, named after the terribly boring, awful tow truck Strangers and Freaks from 2013 Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto V, where all you do is drive a tow truck, and pick up a broken down car. Wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to do it damn near 8 goddamn times!

If it's later in the game, or (even worse) lasts until the credits roll, it's probably a Bill Ending. An example would be Bioshock's ending stretch. After the masterpiece of a game the first 2 thirds were, the ending is a badly-designed escort mission, followed by perhaps the worst boss battle of this generation.

Share with us some of the Bill Sections you've slogged through in the past.

@Lulu_Lulu: They're both extremely polished to the point of near-perfection. I don't actually mind well-done cutscenes since that's obviously becoming the norm with video games, though I do wish that more games would tell their story like Half-Life 2 and Portal 2.

1. Portal 2

2. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

3. Resident Evil 4

4. Grand Theft Auto IV

5. Half-Life 2

6. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

7. Grand Theft Auto V

8. Bioshock

9. Shadow of the Colossus

10. Journey

HM: The Walking Dead: A Telltale Game, The Last of Us, Jet Set Radio, Pac-Man Championship DX

@Jag85: That right there is a good list!

@Chickan_117: So, that means that the best you can give a game is a 9, which means 9 is now the highest possible number, so you've now got to give it an 8, but wait! The only things that can be perfect are art; such as Mona Lisa and The Statue of David. By this style of thinking, 10 is impossible, and shouldn't belong on the scale at all, unless you guys happened to have rated Tetris and Solitaire.
