If you could only have 10 games (not counting PSN, XBLA, Nintendo downloads but only games on tangible media (disc, cartridge, etc.) from generation PSX to Present what would your games be???

This includes all consoles from 1995 to present. Check the Wiki link if you don't know what those consoles are...

This is about taking the minimalist approach. The most bang for your buck. Games that would keep you content forever if they were your only options in gaming life. List the games you would own as well as the console the game in on (there are different versions often times with sports titles...i.e. Madden is on all of the current gemeration consoles).

I will start things off with this list.

I have a 500GB PlayStation 3 (CECHA01 model so it plays PSX, PS2, and PS3 games all in the same system). The games I have chosen are...

10. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (PSX)
09. Final Fantasy VII (PSX)
08. Max Payne (PS2)
07. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (PS2)
06. Demon's Souls (PS3)
05. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
04. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)
03. Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (PS3 NOT YET RELEASED 11.01.11)
02.
01.

The only other console games I have is F.3.A.R. and I am selling it as soon as I finish it. I have not figured out what my other 2 titles will be. Hmmm...
 
I don't know about this...PSX to present? Shouldn't we really go PSX-2000 then maybe PS2-present? There have been A LOT of awesome games over the last 16 or so years...

I guess we could go 1995 up to current generation consoles (not including). Mr. Moderator can we get a thread title change???
 
Yeah this range is too great. Maybe they can be generational threads?
 
10. Disgaea - PS2
09. Mario Kart Double Dash - Game Cube
08. Mario Party - Game Cube
07. Maximo -PS2
06. Namco Classics Collections - PSX
05. Ready 2 Rumble - Dreamcast
04. House of the Dead - Dreamcast
03. Star Wars - Game Cube
02. Zelda Wind Waker - Game Cube

10.) Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (DC)
9.) Ikaruga (DC)
8.) Radiant Silvergun (Jap Sat)
7.) FFIV Advance (GBA)
6.) New Super Mario Bros. (NDS)

I just went with games that were originally released post '95. These aren't my favorite games off all times, but it has the variety to keep me entertained for the longest.

Final Fantasy VII (PSX)
Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (PSP)
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
Mario Kart: Double Dash (GC)
Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)
New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Dragonforce (Saturn)
Shenmue (DC)
Halo 2 (XBox)
