My top 5 games of all time that everyone needs to play!

Hey everybody! I did a small review of "The Binding of Isaac" a little while ago, and thought that maybe I should do a bit more about what games I think that everyone should play and that everyone can enjoy. I'll try to get a video of each of these games up in the near future. Click on the name of the game if you want a link to a place to purchase or download it. If you want me to review a game, just tell me! I'd be happy to learn of new games!

Number 5: Portal 2: Where do I begin with this game? It is a puzzle game, where the only way to go through the game is to solve the rooms using, you guessed it, portals. The portals are placed on the walls using the portal gun, and using many other mechanics and puzzle pieces, you must go from the entrance to the exit (Alive, mind you). At the beginning, the puzzles just are rooms which are "test chambers", but as you progress you must go into wide open areas with no clear objectives, and it gets much more difficult. The plot is created by the same person who created Half-Life Two's plot, and again he did excellent. The plot is flawless, and nothing about the games should be changed. More on this game coming out in the video.

Number 4: Half-Life 2. Hl2 is an incredible game. It is a campaign style shooter where you must travel around a post-invasion Earth to try to stop Combine, an alien group. The plot of the story in incredible, weaving many story lines together to create a masterpiece. Again, hard to do this justice, video will explain more!

Number 3: Counter Strike: Global Offensive. CSGO is a great FPS based around the two teams, terrorists and counter-terrorists fighting in a couple very unique gamemodes, such as bomb defusual and  hostage situation. This game is hard to explain, and a video will go up of me playing sometime soon.

Number 2: Civilization V. Civilization is a turn based strategy game with each play controlling a different, you guessed it, civilization. You must fight to create a good military, a wide spread empire,  fight for resources, and demolish your opponents. You must enhance the technology in your empire in order to keep up with the others. There is so much stuff in this game, that I'll talk about it when the video comes out.

Number 1: Team Fortress 2. Team Fortress 2 is a fast paced, first person shooter with some very different qualities than other FPS games on the market. It is based around nine classes, all with very different qualities. Creating a winning team not only requires skill, but also it requires a good balance of these classes. When the screencast comes out, I'll have a description of these classes. Each class has a stock weapon set, however there are unlockables that randomly drop while playing. Usually these are the same weapon with different stats or abilities, there are some however, that change the nature of the class. It is free to play on steam, so I would suggest anyone go and play it jus to check it out!
