To round out United We Game‘s first birthday celebration, we’ve been counting down our top 10 favorite games of all time! UWG admins and contributors got together, formed a super-duper ranking process, and proceeded to narrow down a list of many of the greatest games we could think of to the ten winners. Here’s my post for our number seven pick, Banjo-Kazooie. The rest of the games up to number six have been posted, so please head over, check them out, and leave comments (because we love conversing with you all). And stick with UWG all week for the rest of the list!

When I write about or speak of my gaming history, Banjo-Kazooie is a game that comes up… a lot. I’ve found joy in many games, but none of them quite compare to the pure bliss I experienced with in the delightfully colorful world of Banjo the bear and Kazooie the bird. It’s a game that helped me through a real-life rough patch. It’s a game that needled itself so deeply into my mind that I can conjure up the sights and sounds of the game without much thought. It’s a game that continues to hold its own even among 3D adventure platformers of today. It is, pure and simple, Banjo-Kazooie.
