No. 2: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night – 100 Greatest Games Ever

With everyone churning out chunky 3D games for the Playstation, Konami decided to buck the trend and release a beautiful 2D  installment of Castlevania.

If exploring a massive castle while acquiring tons of weapons and fighting crazy bosses wasn't enough, there's that great moment when you finally kill Dracula only to find out that- What!- you're only halfway through the game. An inverted version of the castle awaits, complete with new enemies, new secrets and new bosses. Completing it all required some serious skill and nothing was more satisfying.
