37. LittleBigPlanet - PS3

I gotta give LittleBigPlanet some serious props for a few things. First, for enabling people to actually use something, that's often lost nowadays. What's it called... Oh, that's right, creativity! And second, for actually using something that's lost in most this-gen altogether. A little thing called... Color.

Is Sackboy the next Mario? ... Probably not, but he's definitely taking his place in the gaming world as a nice alternative.

That is a woman... right?

yes. A woman. WHO BREAKS YOUR HEART DEARLY  D:

sorry if I'm spoilings anyones game... I doubt anyone understands me anyways

A nomination for best description right next to badgenome's lovely Peace Walker description.

You have to be a True Hardcore MGS Fan to get it.

Unfortunately, yes. It killed any interest I may've had in the game by the prior picture. There are 2 giveaways I see in this picture as to the gender:

1. Bra straps in the back. While there are a few effeminate gay guys that wear bras, I somehow doubt that something with a name as big as MGS would be willing to portray something so alternative to the norm.

2. Lack of any bulge in... that area. Yes, I know that it's the reverse side, however, if there were a bulge, the fabric would be stretching differently. At the right angle, you might see some extra fabric indicating its prescence. But this is clearly not with one, thus, female.

#36 Super Mario World



My 2nd Favorite 2D mario. Really, it's mario. It's great. I don't really much to say about it.

#35 Final Fantasy VII
This game is great.  It probably has the best Side Quests in a FF game with optional characters etc. With, many mechanically bad, but quite memorable minigames. It has one of my favorite charactesr Yuffie.  It has my favorite city in a FF which is Midgar, My 2nd favorite FF Music Score, my 2nd fav or favorite villain... wait.... SHINRA. And you're a terrorist!

negatives are... graphics aren't consistent besides consistently not good, and even then, the locales for me are rather boring. besides, gold saucer, midgar and the forgotten city. Out of the 3D FF it has my 2nd least favorite Battle System. Though Materia is fun to level up. Also, though the score is excellent. The sound is crappy, particularly on the craptacular computer port I originally played it on. And probably a few other things. But I still love this game.

Does that help?

It might if the lines weren't so... awful! Ugh, I suck at picking up, and I certainly know that I wouldn't be interested in those lines... -_-

35. Super Mario Sunshine (GCN)

In Super Mario Sunshine, Mario decides to take a break from the hectic life of a hero and travel to Delfino Island for some much needed relaxation. The game itself also feels like a destination different from the usual Mario adventures. Levels, usually seperated by elements (fire/ice/desert ect.) or Geographical locations (caves/lakes/castles etc.) are now all contained on the single island, so you always feel a sense of sameness when traversing the different areas. There's much more to collect now too, with the blue coins populating the levels (and hidden quite deviously I may add) along with Shine Sprites. And besides Mario, Yoshi, and the Mushroom Kingdom royalty... there's very little here that reminds you of anything you've seen before in the Mario games... which is both refreshing and yet somewhat disappointing. All this leads to a final battle with Bowser who appears out of nowhere... and is really big. I still scratch my head whenever I think of that final boss battle...

Despite all this, this game falls at number 35 because of its wonderful platforming elements and sense of fun and adventure that is the core of all Mario games. FLUDD is a great asset to Mario's already legendary platforming skills, and the two work together for some incredibly fun gameplay (Although I must say... I actually loved the FLUDD-less obstacle courses the most...). Level design is top notch, music is wonderful, and the game is a lot of fun under the sun. While Sunshine is a vacation from the other Mario games, it still shines bright. Shine get!
