Okay then! So, what will start off the Top 25? Well it's none other than...

#25 - Street Fighter EX2 Plus

Released: 1999
Genre: Fighting
Rating: ****1/4 stars

Best Moment: Getting your ass handed to you by Bison II - he's nearly indestructible!

Street Fighter isn't my natural fighting game but it's one that I have played over the years. I do prefer Tekken and even Mortal Kombat, but the SF games are tremendous too. I never did play Street Fighter 3, instead I played Street Fighter EX2 Plus. It's a spinoff of the main SF games and for some reason I just loved playing this. I loved playing as Sagat, he was always my go-to character, where as back in the original Street Fighter II days I was always Ryu. I love the Super Combos you can do in the SFEX2+ game, and for me that's what makes this game stand out well against the many, MANY other SF games. But also, going against the secret Bison II boss is an awesome moment, even if it's ridiculously hard to even give him a good fight, nevermind actually beating him! Apparently you can unlock him in SFEX3, although I never did play that entry in the series. Anyway, if you're looking for a good Street Fighter game on the original Playstation, in my opinion, this is the best.

#26 - Rage Racer

Released: 1996
Genre: Racing
Rating: ****1/4 stars

Best Moment: Customising cars and logos, at the time I'd never seen it done in such detail!

"Racers, start your engines, and let's get it on!"

Maybe I'm bigging this game up too much but for me, this was one of the first PS1 games I had ever seen. I never played the Ridge Racer games, but this spinoff game in the series was the first time I'd seen a racing game done with such incredible graphics at the time. I love the female in the game (I don't know her name), doing her commentary and holding up the cards between races. I loved the car modifications you could do, and specifically the fact that you could create your own logos. At the time it was just simply bigger and better than any racer that I'd ever seen, and it'll always hold a strong place in my heart, being one of the first, if not even the first ever PS1 game I saw.
