#37 - This game received some praise for mocking other well established franchises but critisizm for a lack of originality. Had a very challenging post game challenge mode, which took me 2 days to finish, but it was damn satisfying. IMO this game defines fast paced action games. This game was criticized because the enemies look like a main enemy type found in Mass Effect. This game also has an achievement named after a Mass Effect Ship because one of the ships in this game looks almost identical. There is also a short stealth level where the game makes fun of Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell).

#36 - One of the major characters in this game, was not seen in a sequel, but might be re-introduced in the next game in the series. This game is often considered the best in the franchise by most of the hardcore fans. This is also a fighter, it's a sequel to a game which almost didn't get localized because the developer thought that the Western Audience wouldn't like it.

Because of this franchises popularity, many japanese only franchises got localized outside of Japan, one of them being my favorite franchise in gaming.

#35 - Was an exclusive, then it was no longer exclusive, but then a special edition made this an exclusive again. A terrible design choice in the sequel killed all hype for this franchise. Gameplay involves using grapple hooks to climb up ledges, and thermal packs to survive the extreme conditions.

This was a controversial game IMO because it was one of the few X-Box/PC exclusives which let you play online for free with a Silver Membership. This feature was later removed, thus charging X360 owners to play the game online, but PC/PS3 owners could play for free.

#31 When you hack into a research computer in this game, you can ask the following questions, and get these answers:

What happened to China? Reports uncertain. China my be fictional.
Can mole rates be domesticated? Yes if defanged, declawed, & lobotomized
Can Centaurs talk? Abundance of tongues suggest so.

This is an RPG-hybrid, which was critisized for being too RPG-like, but I love it for the slow motion headshots, with extra gore enabled.

Those above are still unanswered. I'd give more hints if people attempted at my hints more.

#30 A prequel which takes place immediately before the very first game in the series. This is the game where everyone dies........everyone but the protagonist in the original game, and all the sequels since.
