VGChartz Top 50 Games: Discussion Thread!

[pacman91]

I've been so horrible with updating my list. Here are the games i've added since I last posted in the discussion thread...along with some explanation for a few of them.

 

43) Super Smash TV (SNES)

42) Bunrout 3 (Xbox)

41) 007 nightfire (GCN)

EA's finest Bond iteration may not have been as groundbreaking as Goldeneye, but it sure was a fun game.  Under EA the bond series tried to focus on the stealth and gadgets.  The campaign had a lot going for it.  Sure the first playthrough was somewhat short, but the replayablility was fairly high with the platinum rankings and multiple paths in the levels.  Multiplayer was awesome with tons of guns(all crazy accurate, but I can forgive it), fun maps, and psuedo-customizable bots.  Overall a fun game with a satisfying quality campaign and addicting multiplayer.

40) Boom Blox bash party

 

Some hate the genre, or the reference of 'party game', or the third party wii stigma.  I say bring on the interactive, deep puzzle games.  The sequel to the smash hit boom blox trimmed most of the fat from the original leaving a satisfying game to be enjoyed by both core and casual alike.  To me this has been more than just a party game.  Some of the single player gold medals are devilish.  Co-op can be great.  Of course competitive multiplayer is a blast!  Most of all though, User-created content is amazing.  I'd argue this game has the capacity for core play equal to little big planet o_O.  Furthermore most of the gameplay tools(throwing balls, pulling blox...urr blocks etc) have been some of my favorite use of motion ever in gaming.

 This is a damn good wii game EA!

39) Lemmings (SNES)

38) Monster Hunter Tri 

 

Some gamers have grown impatient the past few years with some casual games nintendo and third parties have been publishing.  This can help put that thought to rest. Great online, deep gameplay and rewarding quests make for a true gem.  Undoubtedly it is not for everyone, and the learning curve is quite high, but once you're in, you're hooked.

To some people this is game of the year worthy. I'd say it's the finest third party game on the wii.  Thank you capcom.

37) Donkey Kong Country 2 Diddy Kong's quest

36) Street Fighter 2 (SNES)

35) Sonic & Knuckles

I have a confession to make. I love the SNES!!!!!! However I did at one point own a sega genesis aswell. Many of the super arch rival games seemed like b-rated generic copies, but I do have to give props to Sonic. Sure the save system was convoluted at best, but he did deliver solid gameplay and more importantly competition.  My favorite of the series was Sonic and Knuckles.  S&K featured solid platforming, alternate routes, and great bosses.  Quite a blast to play through. Most importantly though this was the most replayable Sonic game with a playable Knuckles and the stellar sphere minigame.

34) F-Zero GX

F Zero had always been a quality racing franchise, but GX came and rocked the world of many.  Anyone creating a top 10 hardest games list will undoubtedly include this gem.  This racer featured fast gameplay, smooth controls, plenty of drivers with differing vehicles, and vehicle customization.  I hope to see the series get some love as a 3DS title or super Wii launch title.

33) Final fight

32) Halo Reach

31) Contra 3(SNES)
