Top Five Video Games in my humble opinion

The top five video games thus far in my humble opinion are as follows:
1. Mass Effect 3
2. Assassin's Creed: Revelations
3. Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
4. Kingdoms of Amalur
5. Saint's Row: The Third

Mass Effect 3 took the number 1 spot because despite the complaints about the ending and the final fight, overall it was the best game of the series. The programmers really pulled out all the stops for this one, and honestly... who didn't want to see Jack remind Commander Shepard  about their little party below decks in the second game. As for the final fight, for those who said it was a disappointment... next time actually play the fight rather than watching your buddy do it.

Revelations scored number 2 for several reasons. First of all the music, it was the best I've heard in a game in a long time. Secondly, the in-depth storyline behind the gameplay. How can you not love scaling buildings and proving who the real parkour master is. Plus the hidden blade and the new hook blade add a whole new range of assassination animations that'll make your jaw drop.

Skyrim would've been higher on the list had they made some of the side quests like Dark Brotherhood and The Thieves Guild a little more in depth. I want to be able to expand their reach across Skyrim, maybe run raids on the Cyrodil Thieves Guild or something. There are so many possibilities for the guilds that remain unexplored. But I love being able to build my own home and build a family. And the Dawnguard dlc is amazing as well. The graphics are amazing in this game and the seamless transitions from day to night are nearly flawless.

Kingdoms of Amalur is number 4 because though it has an amazing storyline and comprehensive gameplay the graphics are somewhat lacking. The music is good and the combat system is perfect, but there's just not enough to do.

Saints Row: The Third landed at number 5 because though it is ridiculous fun for the whole gang-banging family, it is just seriously lacking in story and originality. It's basically just like the other Saints Row games... a Grand Theft Auto rip off. A fun rip off but a rip off none the less. I want to not only be able to suck them up in my man cannon and shoot them out, I want to be able to shoot them wherever I want and if I shoot them at a window, I want them to go through it, not bounce off of it. I like the game for mindless run and shoot shenanigans but for a challenge and actual mental stimulation, it is a no-go.
