My Top Six Game List of 2005, Part One

Well, everyone, here it is!!! My official top 6 video games of 2005! I was going to do a top 5 but couldn't decide which of the last 2 to bump from the list. I'm also doing this in 2 (or 3) installments, partly because dial-up is VERY slow when uploading pictures.

So, without further ado, here are numbers 5 and 6, in no particular order-

Lego Star Wars for the Playstation 2 is an incredibly cute, very entertaining game. The title says it all-an action/adventure game that plays through Star Wars Episodes 1-3, made entirely of Legos. It's not too terribly difficult, and not as long as I'd like, but still one of the best games I played in 2005. Check out the screenshot, courtesy of Gamespot.com.

Another game that was excellent was Dr Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64. It's a remake of an old 8-bit Nintendo (NES) game. It has the original Dr Mario game in it (starring Mario from the Super Mario series games), as well as a multiplayer mode, a story mode, and a couple of other additions. It's a puzzle game that's very similar to Tetris. However, instead of completing lines like you do in Tetris, you have a playing field (a medicine bottle in this case) with a number of viruses in it (the higher the level, the more viruses) for Mario to eradicate. To accomplish this, Mario throws vitamin pills into the jar, and it's up to you to manuever the to line up with the same color viruses. if you can line up four viruses or segments of a vitamin pill, or a combination of both, that line will be eradicated. The level ends when you have gotten rid all of the viruses in the jar. Very simple and very addictive! One of the best things about this game was that it was free! I found it in a car Daddy bought!

Well, stay tuned for the next installment (or two). I'm planning to do the remaining four games in one post, but if I don't have time, or my internet connection is slow enough, I might do three.

Fell free to comment on my favorites and offer thoughts and some of your favorite games!
