Number Six

ELotTTGE:YHLiBTY - Number 6 
(Ethan's List of the Top Ten Games Ever: Yes, His List is Better Than Yours) 
This is one that just needs to get out of the way. 

Number Six - Super Mario64 

While it is tempting to throw up Sunshine for kicks (I did enjoy it more than most) I will not. And there hasn't been enough time since Galaxy has been out. 

What else can be said? 

While my true love is RPGs now, I'll be damned if it wasn't Mario's first 3D world that made me have wild dreams of what games could accomplish. The coolest part about this game was that for its time, it was the kind of game you could just watch a friend play for hours. It was so fascinating to just take in the whole imaginative experience. It captured my imagination probably more than any medium had yet at that point. So even if I choose to play Galaxy or Sunshine now, there is no denying the absolutely permanent effect Super Mario64 has had on my entire life. 
So let this entry be short and sweet, and describe your experience with the title if you will, even if you somehow hate it. 
The next one might surprise some, but I will be excited to bring it to you all. 

Agree with me yet? 
Thanks for reading, thumbs and comments are welcomed and appreciated.
