#35: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King


Year: 2005
Why It's Great: Many players bought Dragon Quest VIII for the demo of Final Fantasy XII, but ended up staying an extra eighty hours to play through this beast of a game. The first fully 3-D instalment in the franchise, Dragon Quest VIII came alive with beautiful cel-shaded characters designed by famed manga artist Akira Toriyama, and a massive world that rivaled the size of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. From side quests to monster arenas to an epic plot that sucked you in and didn't let go, the eighth installment of the Dragon Quest series was one to remember.
