12. Super Mario 64 (N64)

Well, it was only a matter of time before you knew you'd see this game on my list eh? It was a tough choice to not include this game into my top 10 of all time, but #12 ain't all bad. My favorite Mario game of all time, Super Mario 64 set the bar for all 3D games since it's release back in 1996. It's been 8 years since this N64 classic debuted and not once has any game since then wowed me like this one did. Full 3D control with INCREDIBLY tight controls, HUGE worlds, and awesome graphics and sounds, made this the must have game for the N64. I would ride my bike to my local Blockbuster video almost every day after school just to play the kiosk they had of this game for a few hours. The guys who worked there even learned my name and would talk to me about games coming out and stuff like that cause I was there so much. We need another Mario 64 to come around and wake this industry up.
