Seeing as I've only been around for 15 years, I won't be able to provide much true insight on classic games (ie games from gen 4 and back, though I have played games from that time). Also, I don't have a top 10 as such, so I'll just go with it here.
Obviously it goes without saying the GT series is pretty much all good, with the possible exception of 3 TBH. My personal order of the games goes 1>4>2>5, and GT1 would probably be my top of all if I had to choose. I don't actually own Forza 4, but I played it and liked it a damn lot. I'm sure I'd be acquainted more with it if I actually owned even an X360, I'm sure.
Don't mind the Ridge Racer series at all, nor the COD series (though MW2 with a 3 on the end of it flopped hugely because of what I just said). Of course, as a Brit, I obviously play the FIFA series a fair bit too. And of course the Pokemon series took up a fair section of my earlier years too.
I also have a soft spot for the hugely underrated GT Advance series (seriously. Find the 3 games in said series plus the MotoGP game made by the same team, they're all serious fun) and, now moving into classic stuff, I damn love both the Mega Man and Mega Man X series. Also 2D platform Metroid games as well, and the game which probably still beats any Madden game today - Tecmo Super Bowl, the 1991 NES game. That's around my top 5, for sure. Also a couple of Mario games I do like too.
I understand I haven't played a whole lot of fully serious stuff, like RPGs (ie. Final Fantasy is merely a semi good series to me now...) or other modern shooters. But whatever. It's just the way I play and buy my stuff.
👍 It was in arcades also. Ah.....the good old days.....
