Unfortunately I never was able to play WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness that much. Still, back in the day I used to watch my friend play the game all the time (remember when even watching video games was amazing?). I thought Death Knights were so cool.

Prime was boring and overrated. Well, you could say it is me being bias against FPS.

Super Metroid was okay, but the gameplay in Metroid: Other M was really fun and addictive.

Not for me, as evidenced by my choice for #45

Whether my opinion would be different had I played Prime 2 on the GameCube I don't know.
Other M would probably be a bit higher on my list too if you didn't have to use the d-pad to move around, it made my thumb hurt.

I have a similar bias towards FPS these days, but I love Metroid Prime. It's more FPA than FPS though.

It's possible for games to span genres, most FPS are action-shooters ("First-Person" is not really a genre, I don't know why people consider it so. It's a game mechanic.), whereas the Primes are adventure-shooters. (Action and Adventure are two huge genres which cover a lot of today's games, and could then be split into smaller genres) I would say most adventure-shooters are third-person, so the Primes are quite rare to be FPS-A. (Portal is probably even rarer being a puzzle-shooter that is also first-person)

As such I agree with you that Prime is adventure based, but you can't deny it being a shooter, so it's still an FPS.

Should have put your work pants on and got a job, they need little people to clean sewers you know..... lol, no worries, but some of the games are phenomenal. Like I said I beat Chrono Trigger on a ROM during the 6th gen, and it;s one of my favorite games.

If you honestly can't go back, give Mario Kart Wii, Street Fighter IV, and Donkey Kong Country Wii a try. They aren't that different from SNES era games.

Oh for me, I didn't know how to get out of the Opera...lol. I think that's the very first level. Must have spent an hour or more looking where to go, but I was greeted with empty rooms, and no directions. Put it down, and never picked it up, but it genuinly looks like an interesting game. Some of SE's smaller RPG's can be better then their major blockbuster titles you know.

Play Metroid Prime 1 or 3 for GCN or Wii! They are much better 3D Metroid titles.

Also nice job with Clokc Tower. I like CT3 for PS2, it's nice to see some more niche games populate the list.

Mario Kart Wii, what with being awesome, will naturally be high on my list, and I have played a little Super Mario Kart... they are similar in the way that they are kart racing games from the Mario universe, but otherwise they play very differently, mode 7 may have been a good thing back in the early 90s, but once you have played in 3D it's weird going back, as I found out with F-Zero.
Fighting games are probably my least favourite type of game, and I don't have a machine capable of playing SFIV anyway.
Can't say I am interested in DKCWii either.

Gievn what Rol has mentioned, I may be giving Super Metroid a go in the future, as it's a full 2D game it doesn't have the same issue as zelda's psuedo 3D, which is lack of control (which reminds me, why hasn't the d-pad died yet... it's not needed for games anymore)

Wrecking Crew!

This was the game that introduced Wario. I don't care what you say, that is truth :P
