In order of which I played them:

Crach Bandicoot is the first game I remember playing, my uncle gave it to me a long with a PS1 as he worked for Sony at the time and helped develop the game. His name is John Roberts and is in the link provided. Even today I find this game and all the other crash bandicoot games to be so much fun, sadly my uncle no longer works for Sony...

Baulders gate dark alliance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JLmmFqr6aU

Baulders Gate Dark Alliance was the first kind of fantasy adventure game I had ever played and was actually the first game I owned on PS2. It was a down looking angle similar to the Diablo franchise and used similar mechanics.

Pokemon yellow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PKoLnPzzp8
This is probably the most addictive game I ever owned on Gameboy, I played several other pokemon games after this, but I remember this one the most and found it the most fun. I can still even remember some of the soundtracks from this game.

EA Games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPYkOMj-3iI
I remember the sound of this quite well because at the time most EA games was using this on there games, however the game I remember it most from was The Lord of The Rings. This game was probably one of my most favourite from my childhood. I think it was because at the time Lord of the Rings films were being released and I loved how the game puts you in the same scenes from the film and allows you to play characters from film and each different one witnessed a different campaign. I also think this game was one of the best games to be taken on from a film as they usually suck.

GTA San Andreas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXCRGh7_TkA
I remember putting way to much time into this game from my childhood. Even though this game was an 18 it was probably the most wanted game from young teenagers and most of them had it, I think thats what convinced my parents to actually get it for me. The soundtracks I remember best from this game was the ones used on the radio featured in the game. As I played it so much most of them just stuck in including the one in the link.

Fear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y6UzJQjEbQ
I picked Fear not for its soundtracks but actually the sound effects and ambient sounds it uses, being a horror game it rely's on this heavily. In fact I think this is probably my favourite horror game despite it giving me nightmares the first time I played it, bare in mind I was 11 and this was an 18. one of the things I loved the most was when there was any paranormal activity around you at the time you would get some electronic interference and the sound that gave off scared me every time because you knew something was there but couldnt see it.

Bioshock has to be a fantastic game for sounds. One of the great editions to Bioshock games I love is that when the player is walking around there is no real soundtrack playing. What the games done instead is place radios around the game world or vending machines and old fashioned items of the 1960's which play songs from the time period which works as the soundtrack.The reason I chose the 2nd one is because I think it has a much better storyline than the first, especially people that have played the first one will understand a lot of whats going on and therefore enjoy the game more experiencing events  after the first, it mentions things about Andrew Ryan for example and whats happend since he died. (spoilers)

assassins creed embers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMgryPsS5wM
Assassins Creed Embers is a short animation about 30 mins long which shows the events of 'Ezio's last moments that take place after the 'Revelations' game. Now being a huge fan of the AC games, Ezio has been in 3 of them and over the 3 years its taken for the games to come out its made you bond with this character more than any other from the games. This video is basically showing you his final moments of life before passing away, personally i would of preferred it if they made this playable instead of a video, but the soundtracks used makes the video really emotional to watch considering me, and a lot of fans have bonded with this character.


Battlefield 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_t8JYv6Q4k&list=FLllkov6ahM4hpNkoUa38qxw&index=677
Now this game (now Battlefield 4) has to be one of my top games of all time. As I'm a massive fan of FPs games this has everything you would want in one. Amazing graphics, amazing gameplay, massive maps, 64 player servers, destructible environment where you can level buildings, and the sound effets used are incredible. Especially the sounds of the destruction being shot at and destroyedm or the sound of an RPG flying past you.

Mass Effect 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiqzv8rntes
Now I actually never played the full game of this, I only played the demo which features the first mission I think. But the reason I put this on here is because the first few moments of the game are so upsetting and emotional, these massive aliens have come down the destroy your world and causing chaos everywhere. The soundtrack used in the link has to be one of my favourite ever in a game.
