Here are my 50-41 games:
#50 - God of War III
14 years later, the scale and scope of this game still boggles my mind
#49 - Metroid Dread
Sublime action, excellent production design, and sphincter-clenching stealth sequences make this one of the finest Metroid games
#48 - Darius Gaiden
Arguably the best shoot-'em-up ever made, Darius Gaiden excels in moment-to-moment gameplay, visuals, music, and replay value
#47 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl
While it falls behind other franchise games in terms of mechanics and/or roster, it tops all others when it comes to its extraordinary adventure mode
#46 - Halo 2
While not quite as special as Halo: CE -- that was lighting in a bottle -- Halo 2 is a stellar shooter with amazing single-player and multiplayer modes
#45 - Devil May Cry
Amazingly fluid and fun combat is what elevates this inspired hack-and-slash game
#44 - Shadow of the Colossus
Few games are as immersive, emotionally powerful, and mechanically gripping as Shadow of the Colossus
#43 - Beyond Good & Evil
Just one in a long line of remarkable games from Michel Ancel, Beyond Good & Evil excels in music, storytelling, and diverse, multifaceted gameplay
#42 - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Sakurai's masterpiece, Smash Bros. Ultimate is simply the best video game crossover ever made
#41 - The Legend of Zelda
It's amazing how ahead-of-its-time the original Legend of Zelda feels, even now
