4. Halo: Combat Evolved

The OG Halo where it all began, Combat Evolved was where it all started for the franchise and was the building block of the Xbox console.

3. Red Dead Redemption 2

One of the best single-player experiences as per most gamers, Red Dead Redemption 2 was an achievement, both in terms of visuals and storytelling and is still surpassing modern-day titles. Rhodes revealed he loved the post Civil was America and the story and main character resonated with him, although he did admit that he never played the first game.

2. Metal Gear Solid

Originally released for PlayStation back in 1998, Metal Gear Solid was a genre-defining tactical espionage game. Even Rhodes believed that the game influenced modern video games. The game was directed by Hideo Kojima and is one of the most complex and beloved video game franchises to date.

Another OG title in the mix, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina Of Time, was also released back in 1998 for GameCube & Nintendo 64 and was the first Zelda game in 3D. Ocarina Of Time was a huge success, raking in praise from everyone.
