40. Metroid Prime 2, GC (2004) Nintendo/Retro Studios (last year 38)
The worst of the three main Prime games, but that still gets it up to number 40. I found the enemies and scenario were less believable than in Prime 1 and 3, which de-immersed me from the experience, but the core gameplay that made that series so great is still there. The original version also was quite unbalanced in terms of difficulty, though this was rectified in the Trilogy edition.
Number 39 is a recent game, whose name was changed midway through development to reflect its developer's legacy, although the game itself is unrelated to the developer's prior work.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
