Hm. Haven't had time to post here in a while. I guess I'll compensate for that with this tower of text.
My #39 was the original Super Mario Bros. (P+CH = Peach) and #38 was Mega Man 3 (definitely the hardest boss in the series). I will forever maintain my stance that Mega Man 3 has the absolute best soundtrack in the numerical series and on the NES, and no amount of repetitive Dr. Wily Stage 1/2 guitar remixes is going to change that.
Since I don't have clues for my #37 and #36, I guess I'll use this post to talk about some games that I haven't played, but would probably make the list if I had, based on what I've seen and heard of them.
- Metroid Fusion - Despite it's linear structure and, from what I've heard, hefty amounts of monologues and conversations with a computer, playing, looking and sounding like Super Metroid is like an instant ticket to my top 50.
- Democracy 3 - As utterly unexciting as the screen that you're primarily going to be looking at looks, I've seen some quite entertaining LP's of this game. Who doesn't want to fuck up some of the world's greatest nations in their own specific way?
- TES: Skyrim - I haven't really ever played a massive single-player fantasy WRPG. I feel like that's a significant deficiency in my gaming résumé.
- Guild Wars 2 - Only reason I haven't bought this game yet is that I don't think I can afford being sucked into an MMORPG right now, what with the schoolwork and a backlog and a social life of sorts to maintain.
- Mount & Blade: Warband - Offers more freedom and replay value than most games out there, without a twelth of their budgets. Looks great in every way (except, well, literally).
It seems like I'm drifting towards becoming a PC gamer worryingly quickly. Seven months ago I didn't even have a Steam account.
