Re: Favorite games
I am not a dabbler, I am a full on gamer. As such, I cannot be constrained by a mere arbitrary 'top ten'. Besides, if you have a top ten list, you're going to see significant repetition (for the most part, the same two dozen games over and over again in most people's lists). So I present a more complete list, not of the top, but simply of games I think of as gems, and would recommend.
