#44) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64/GCN/Wii/3DS)

The only things that differentiate Ocarina from Twilight Princess are that the items aren't quite as useless, and the difficulty is a bit higher. And I really don't feel like writing a full paragraph about virtually the same game twice in a row.

#43) Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)

It turns out "entertaining unskippable cutscene" and "fun turn-based combat" aren't oxymora after all. Huh.

#42) Metal Slug (NG/PS/PS2/PS3/PSP/SAT/Wii/PC)

Before there were alien invasions, zombie apocalypses or fucking dragon grim reapers with skulls on their chest, there was this. A simple game about a guy, (sometimes accompanied by another guy) armed with a pistol, some grenades and a trusty RAWKET LAWNCHAIR, fighting to rescue half-naked bearded men with flamethrowers in their pants from a general that looks like the lovechild of Hussein and Stalin.

The game had some serious frame-rate issues, but some of the sequels it spawned are among the best things ever. Anywhere.

 

Phew.
