#50: Probably the best PC-exclusive fighting game there is. One Must Fall, but nobody found it out

1. Giants robots are duking it out
2. In the story mode, you can level up both your pilot and machine independently
3. There's a hyper mode that makes all the actions super-fast and combos possible that are otherwise totally impossible. Oh, and there are scrap moves that totally destroy the enemy robot.
4. One must know how to fight well in this game 
5. One must try this game, as it's freeware now.

#43: Lead your people from the Stone Age to the Space Age.

1. Unlike Civilization, this God Game is in real time
2. As a God Game, you have make some godly interventions sometimes like healing your citizens, striking UFOs with lightning strikes or protecting them under a protective dome
3. The inhabitants of the planet that you develop are called Nuggets who like Rayman don't seem to have limbs.
4. Since you're a god, the inhabitants sometimes ask you to do some godly feats for them.

#47 (Yeah I forgot that one initially, sorry): A PC pinball game with 3 tables and a horror movie level design

1. The 3 tables are called Castle, Dungeon and Laboratory
2. In the Castle multiball, the castle gate tower becomes a giant angry face with the gate becoming teeth and it constantly says "FEED ME!"
3. It's part of a Pinball series from Sierra On-Line

#40: This game series from Stardock got often called a successor to Master of Magic, here in it's third iteration.

1. It's the technically the third iteration like I mentioned above, but also the first iteration, as the second replaced the first and the third replaced the second one entirely.

#39: Thwart a global alien invasion with your handful of soldiers
