#34: Bioshock (2007)
Last Year: 33

Sporting one of the most (if not the most) amazing introductions in any video game ever... Bioshock takes your breath away from the very beginning. I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. The plane crash, swimming towards the lighthouse, Andrew Ryan's grand speech... and then the nightmare begins. Like I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of the FPS genre, but Bioshock transends genres and is just a fantastic game to play. And not only is it great on a gaming standpoint (which is of course the priority), but it also tells a story, a great story, about humanity and the corruption we're all capable of (as this game is quite anti-Randian in its message, which is always an interesting topic). And that plot twist. Oh that plot twist. The journey to that point is quite amazing... but unfortunately the game just can't keep up with that amazing pace, and starts to stumble by the end (especially with the final boss). Still, the game is amazing. One of the 7th Generations' most plesant surprises for me.

34) Second Sight (PS2 / 2004 / Action Adventure)

Nobody guessed this on the forums, for I believe the first time.

Second Sight is a game about a man with psychic abilities who is desperately trying to remember his past. I have quite a soft spot for psychic action games, but there are disappointingly few - this and Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy come to mind, with Psychonauts somewhat similar on the surface but very different once you get down to the actual gameplay.

You are really playing two simultaneous stories - one in the present, and one in a flashback in the past. The shooting and psychic abilities work together seamlessly, largely because they don't try to shovel in enormous numbers of these abilities. Fun fact: this is the only game I have ever played in which snipers have auto-aim functionality to some degree.

It has a metascore in the high 70s, which I feel is far too low, though admittedly not as low as the 60-something enjoyed by Duelists of the Roses (43).

Clue for Game 33: PRESS X TO ___

Jason? And thus... Heavy Rain?

Game #33:

This game features a god, the keepers of time and space, and a beaver.

Correct!

I suppose that makes up for yesterday, but then today was easy, as is pretty much every game in the rest of this list. I need to be more cryptic.

#42: Pushmo?

It also features Obama with Snow.

And an evil Weasel.

Snowbama? What?

Edit: fuck, should've remembered this because he was on my Soul Silver team: Abomasnow

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl
