1. Xenoblade Chronicles (2010)
2. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (2006)

something I've realized about this is that it isn't my "true" top 10 since I limit this to 1 entry per franchise, otherwise it'd just be full of Metal Gear, GTA, Mario, and Zelda, but bottom line these are the games I like a ton
